Place in 80 degree hot water bath for 5 minutes
Blue -> Red

18

Shake
Blue -> Purple

19
Q

20
Q

Test for starch

A

Orange -> blue/black

21
Q

DNA Shape

A

Double helix, linked by pair base = A -T and C - G

22
Q

What is a biological catalyst

A

A substance that speeds up a reaction (Enzymes)

23
Q

How to enzymes work

A

Enzyme and substrate collide
Substrate binds to the enzymes active site
Reaction happens (Enzyme - substrate complex)
Products go away

24
Q

How does a lower temperature effect the enzyme rate of reaction

A

Lower temperature = enzymes have low kinetic energy + move slowly
Less enzyme/substrate collisions

25
Q

How does a higher temperature effect the enzyme rate of reaction

A

Higher temperature = more kinetic energy, enzymes are moving faster
Collisions between enzymes/substrate are harder so the enzymes active site is damages
Substrate doesn’t fit
No successful reactions

26
Q

Put these in order from small -> large, and add examples:
Organism, Tissue, Cell, Organs, Organelle, Organ system

A

Organelle (Mitrochondria)
Cell (Red blood cell)
Tissue - makes up organs
Organs (Stomach)
Organ system (digestive system)
Organism (Human)

27
Q

What are specialised cells

A

All cells begin as stem cells, then get told what to do.

Some stem cells become specialised cells
They have a specific functions such as a sperm cell, red blood cell, or leaf cell.
They have special adaptions

28
Q

What is a eukaryote

A

Cells of animals, plants and fungi are called eukaryotic cells . They contain membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus and mitochondria.

29
Q

What is a prokaryote

A

Simple cells that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.
They are single-celled organisms such as bacteria

30
Q

What is a pathogen

A

A microorganism that causes disease
