Q

What do photosynthetic cells have to be specialised?

A

Contain chloroplasts that trap the light for photosynthesis.

Has a large permanent membrane to keep it rigid due to osmosis

19
Q

Xylem cell are specialised because..

A

The spirals and rings make them very strong and help them withstand the pressure of water moving up the plant.
It also supports the plant stem

20
Q

What is diffusion?

A

The spreading out of particles of a gas or any substance in a solution from an area of high concentration to low concentration down a concentration gradient

21
Q

Examples of diffusion

A

Sharks smelling blood from a far distance

Smelling food from a small distance away

22
Q

How is the rate of diffusion effected?

A

The rate of diffusion is affected by the difference in concentrations, the temperature and the available surface area

23
Q

How can the rate of diffusion be increased?

A

Having a large surface area
Being thin to provide s short diffusion path
Increasing concentration gradient
Increase in temperature

24
Q

In a animal cell, water into cell is

A

Lysis

25
Q

In a animal cell water out of cell is

A

Crenation

26
Q

In a plant cell water in cell is

A

Turgid

27
Q

In a plant cell water out of cell is

A

Plasmolysed

28
Q

What substances move in and out of cells during diffusion?

A

Glucose and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen

29
Q

What is osmosis?

A

osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a partially permeable membrane

30
Q

What solution does water molecules move from?

A

A dilute solution to a concentrated solution of less water molecules through a partially permeable membrane

31
Q

How can animal cells be damaged in osmosis?

A

If the concentration outside the cell changes dramatically it may burst the animal cell

32
Q

If the concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell is the same as the internal concentration the solution is…

A

Isotonic

33
Q

If the concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell is higher than the internal concentration the solution is…

A

Hypertonic

34
Q

If the concentration of solutes in the solution outside the cell is lower than the internal concentration the solution is…

A

Hypertonic

35
Q

What is active transport?

A

Active transport is the movement of a substance across a cell membrane of a low concentration to a high concentration against a concentration gradient

36
Q

What does active transport allow root hair cells to do

A

Absorb mineral ions required for healthy growth from very dilute solutions in the soil against a gradient

37
Q

Active transport enable sugar molecules to do what?

A

Enables sugar molecules used for cell respiration to be absorbed from lower concentrations in the gut into the blood where the concentration of sugar is higher.

38
Q

What is important in exchanging materials?

A

Surface area to volume ratio is very important as it helps with exchanging substances

39
Q

What happens when an object get bigger

A

The ratio of surface area to volume falls

40
Q

What is diffusion like in a small object?

A

Simple diffusion can happen in a small object as the distance is short for diffusion.

41
Q

What is diffusion like in a large object

A

In a large object diffusion is not enough as the distance is bigger from the centre to the surface so diffusion is no longer long enough to exchange materials

42
Q

How do organisms adapt to be as effective as possible?

A

Have a large surface area
Having a thin membrane to provide a short diffusion path
Having an efficient bloodstream moves the substances away from the exchange surfaces.
Having been ventilated makes gas exchange more efficient

43
Q

Examples of adaptations in exchanging materials

A

Gills
Stomata
Alveoli
