Q

What in most human and animal cells

A

nucleus: controls activities of cell and contains genetic info (DNA)
cytoplasm: liquid mixture where most chemical reactions take place (catalysed by enzymes to speed up desired reactions)
cell membrane: controls passage of substances in and out of cell
mitochondria: use oxygen and sugars to release energy for cell in aerobic
ribosomes: protein synthesis occurs using aa

A

cell wall: cellulose, strength, protenction
chloroplasts: absorb light energy to make food, contain chlorophyll, green

Q

Eg of tissues and specific to stomach

A

muscular: contract to bring about movement, chrun contents
glandular: produce substances like enzymes and hormones, produce digestive juices
epithelial tissue: covers some part of body, cover out and in of stomach

Q

What happen to glucose

A

converted into insoluble starch/glycogen, intial in leaf for darkness then root tubers as soluble so would affect osmosis
prod fat/oil for storage, build cell membranes
prod cellulose (undigested part of diet fibre), strengthen cell wall
prod proteins by using nitrate ions

Q

Physical factors affect organisms

A

temp
availability of nutrients: plants longer root outcomplete
amount of light: measured with light meter in lux, tall plants outcompete
availability of water
availability of O2 and CO2

Q

When differentiate

A

animals early stage
plant cell retain ability all life
stem cells: human embryos and adult bone marrow to nerver cells, help paralysis

17
Q

DNA

A

deoxyribo nucleic acid

double helix structure

18
Q

Polydactyly

A

extra fingers or toes

dominant allele

19
Q

Specialised cells

A

add. features to perform certain gunctions

20
Q

Differentiation

A

ability of multi-cellular organisms to give certain cells certain jobs

21
Q

What affects rate of diffusion

A

temp: increase KE
distance
SA
diff con

22
Q

Purpose of digestive system

A

break down insoluble molecules to soluble so can be absorbed and used by cells

23
Q

Oxygen test

A

collect bubbles of gas, light glowing splint

24
Q

Limiting factor

A

when in short supply, prevent plant from growing faster

25
Iodine test
yellow brown react with starch blue black, waxy cuticle prevent iodine entering, green mask colour change leaf prepared by boiling in ethanol then hot water to soften
26
Greenhouse and polytunnels control conditions
s
27
Hydroponics
plants growing in water with perfect balance of mineral ions so nothing slow down growth fast turnover, high profit crops clean and unspoilt no ploughing of land, poor expensive
28
Random quantative sampling
``` compare 2 areas area A, mark grid with tape measure comp random coordinates, avoid bias place quadrat at coordinate and measure variable repeat in area B bar graph ```
29
Enzymes
fold into shape with hole - active site shape of it allow reactants' substrate to fit in it 2 shapes complimentary: energy substrate complex build large from small molecules, break down large
30
Protein
polymer formed from aa (monomer) chain
31
Biological detergents pros and cons
faster reaction lower temp, save energy cheap to grow microorganisms expensive to extract enzyme and control pH need to be supplied with O2 and remove waste profucts
32
Stem cells pros and cons
``` reconnect damaged spinal nerves grow new organs for transplant treat conditions like infertility embryos used instead of thrown away possible to use embryonic stem cells from umbilical so not harm embryo ``` ethical, religious expensive: use money elsewhere experinemtal, risk
33
CF treatments
physiotherapy, clear mucus lungs antibiotics enzymes to thin mucus
34
Homozygous
genotype where both alleles same for particular gene
35
Genotype and pheno
genetic makeup | physical characteristics, determined by geno
36
Mitosis
create more cells, each genetically identical new copies of chromosomes in nucleus (double) 2 gen id daughter cells
37
Meiosis
mitosis and separate into 4 daughter cells | each with half no chromosmes
