respiration
the process of transferring energy from the breakdown of glucose
atp
stores the energy that has been transferred by respiration. Then this energy is used for active transport ect
aerobic respiration
breaks down glucose and combines the products with oxygen to make co2 and water
equation for aerobic respiration
C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
(glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water)
anaerobic respiration
without oxygen
mechanism to continue producing small amounts of energy in the form of ATP
just 2 molecules of ATP is produced
anaerobic respiration in animals//bacteria
glucose is partially broken down and lactic acid is formed as a waste product
anaerobic respiration in plants and yeast
glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide
the cell cycle
(interphase)(mitosis)
uses mitosis to grow or replace damaged cells. The stage of division is called mitosis. The end of the cell cycle results in two new cells identical to the original.
Interphase stage 1
in the original cell, the DNA is all spread out in long strings. The cell needs to increase the amount of subcellular structures it has. DNA is then duplicated for each cell.
forms an x shape and both arms are the exact copy
mitosis stage 2
the chromosomes line up at the centre and cell fibres pull them apart. the two arms go to opposite ends. membranes form around, nucleus divides then the cyto and mem divide
2 daughter cells genetically identical to parent produced
electron microscopes
higher mag and resolution
you can see much smaller things like the internal structure of chloroplast
equation to work out total magnification
eyepiece lens magnification x objective lens magnification
equation if you don’t know what lens was used
magnification = measured size / actual size
sexual reproduction
mother & father produce sperm & egg cells (gametes) they contain 23 from each
fuses together to create a zygote
meiosis
1) interphase 0 - dna is duplicated
