Q

What happens in the “Cell Cycle”

A
  • Cell grows and creates more Chromosomes, Ribosomes, Mitochondria

Q

Explain Surface Area:Volume Ratio

A

The lower the Volume the Greater the Surface Area is

Volume = 1 x 1 x 1 = 1cm3 (L x B x H)
Surface Area = 1 x 1 x 6 = 6cm3 (B x H x Sides)

Q

What is the “Cell Membrane”?

A

Controls what goes in and out of the cell

24
Q

What is the “Vacuole”?

A
  • Contains weak sugar/salt solutions

- Keeps the cell Turgid

25
Q

Disadvantage of Electron Microscope

A

Can only be seen in Monochrome

26
Q

Disadvantage of Light Microscope

A

Low Resolution/Magnificaiton

27
Q

Examples of Specialised Cells

A
  • Sperm Cells have a tail and Mitochondria in order to swim

- Root Hair Cells have a large surface area to absorb water and minerals

28
Q

Advantages of “Stem Cells”?

A
  • Curing diseases, replace faulty cells

- Cloning, making an embryo have same genetic information as someone

29
Q

Disadvantages of “Stem Cells”?

A
  • Stems cells can be contaminated and make the person feel sick
  • Cloning seems “inhumane” as the embryo did not give consent for being cloned
30
Q

Which type of cell is DNA found in?

A

Eukaryotic Cells

31
Q

Which Cell in a plant is Specialised for absorbing water and minerals?

A

Root Hair Cells

32
Q

How does differentiation differ between a plant and animal cell?

A

Differentiation is lost in Animals at an early stage, plants can differentiate for a long time

33
Q

Where can Stem Cells be found?

A

In the bone marrow

34
Q

How does concentration gradient effect the rate of diffusion?

A

The bigger the concentraion gradient, the quicker the rate of diffusion is

35
Q

Why wouldnt Osmosis occur if you boil something in water?

A

Because the Cell Membrane will be damaged and will no longer be able to peform diffusion

36
Q

Features of a Microscope

A

Eyepiece - What you look through, has a magnification of 10x
Objective Lenses - A collection of Lenses with different magnification, on top of the eyepiece
Stage - Table for the object
Slide - Keeps object in place
-Focus Knob - Focuses on magnified object

37
Q

How to find magnification on a microscope (no formula)

A

10 x Magnification of Objective Lenses

38

A
  • Specialised for Contraction/Relaxation
  • Special Protein to allow tissue to slide over each other
  • Store Glycogen, broken down in respiration by Mitochondria
47
Q

A

Movement
Respiration
Sensitivity

Growth
Reproduction
Excretion
Nutrition

48
Q

Meristems

A
  • Makes an area of unspecialized cells specialized to continue plant growth
49
Q

Differentiation in Animals

A

Occurs in early development, stops creating Stem Cells after a while

50
Q

Differentiation in Plant

A

Can use Stem Cells at anytime when matured

51
Q

Xylem Function and Adaptation

A
  • Brings water and minerals around a leaf

- Has hollow tubes for water to pass through them, around the leaf

52
Q

Phloem Function and Adaptation

A
  • Transports Glucose around the leaf

- Sieve tubes to transport them

53
Q

Enzymes

A

Catalysts made of Protein to speed up chemical reactions

54
Q

1mm = ____ nm

A

1000000nm

55
Q

Define Magnification

A

How many times bigger the image size of an object is compared to the real size of it

56
Q

2 types of Stem Cells

A
  • Adult Stem Cells, reproduce and specialize into other cells
  • Embryonic Stem Cells, cells in an embryo which can be specialized, also become Adult Stem Cells at a later age
