Q

Structure and role of villus (capillaries and lacteals)

A
  • folds, villi, microvilli
  • thin walls (one cell)

Q

Ways water transported to leaves 3

A
  • root pressure: constant entry in roots
  • capillary action: forces of attraction between walls and water, water and water
  • transpirational pull: suction force moving columns of water up xylem

Q

Structure of artery

A

Thick muscular walls, prevent rupture during blood influx
Small lumen

24
Q

Structure of vein

A

Thin walls less elastic tissue : lower bp
Large lumen
Valves present prevent backflow

25
Structure of capillaries
May exchange between blood and tissue Large network = SA:vol Endothelium: single layer of flattened cells for water permeability
26
Transfer of mats between capillaries and tissue fluid
Colourless fluid in between cells Useful mats -> caps -> tissue fluid -> cells Waste -> tissue -> cap walls -> blood -> excretory organs
27
Coronary heart disease
- occlusion of coronary arteries - causes: diet, stress, smoking - preventive measures: physical activity, smoke less, drink less
28
Process of removal of co2 from lungs
Co2 reacts with water to (carbonic anhydrase) carbonic acid Converted to hydrogen carbonate ions Reverted in lungs, diffuse out capillaries into alveoli and out
29
Role of cilia in resp
In trachea with gland cells, sweep foreign particles and dust, keep out of lungs
30
Effects of tobacco smoke
Nicotine: risk of blood clot = risk of coronary disease Tar: carcinogenic, paralyses cilia = Lung cancer Carbon monoxide: carboxyhemoglobin
31
Equation for aerobic resp
Glucose + oxygen -> co2 + water + energy
32
Equation for anaerobic resp
Glucose -> lactic + small amt of energy Yeast: glucose -> ethanol + co2 + small amt of energy
33
Lactic acid in muscles n stuff
Energy req more than aerobic Lactic acid acc -> fatigue and pain Insufficient o2 -> o2 debt Lactic acid removed transported to liver, oxidised to release energy, converted to glucose
34
Define excretion
Process where metabolic waste and toxic products removed after undergoing Chem processes
35
Ultrafiltration pressure
Req high hydro stick pressure Afferent arteriole wider than efferent arteriole so pressure pushes blood plasma out glomerular caps into bowman’s capsule THEN basement mem
36
Corrective mechanisms when cold af
- shivering - hair erector contract - arterioles constrict, shunt dilate (less blood flow) - less sweat - higher rate of metabolic activity Lowers heat loss via conduction convection radiation And latent heat of vaporisation from water in sweat
37
Purpose of nervous system
Serves to coordinate and regulate bodily functions
38
Hormone def
Chemical substance prod by a endocrine gland carried by bloodstream altering activity of one or more target orange s, destroyed by liver
39
What is endocrine gland
Into bloodstream Ductless
40
Effects of adrenaline (some)
- higher blood pressure and heartbeat rate - higher metabolic rate - more blood glucose - higher rate and depth of ventilation - pupils dilate - constricts skin arterioles
41
What does insulin do
Insulin - cell surface more permeable to glucose - stimulated liver and muscle cells: excess glucose to glycogen
42
Growth of pollen tube into ovule 7
1. Pollen grain germinates cause sugary fluid from mature stigma 2. Pollen grain nucleus causes pollen tube to grow out of grain 3. Male gamete enters ptube 4. Ptube secrets enzymes that digest stigma and style tissues 5. Pollen tube grows down style to ovary 6. Enters thru micropyle 7. Reaches ovule, absorbs sap, tip bursts
43
Why need genetically id cells
- ensure all d cells are genetically stable - error: new strand diff - gene mutation (eg. Uncontrollable division- cancer)
44
Homologous chromosomes def
Pairs, identical shapes sizes, lengths One from male one from female parents Same sequence of gene loci
45
Define haploid and diploid
Single set of chromosomes, 23 Two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, 46
46
R/s between dna, genes, chromosomes
Gene: part of dna, sequence of nucleotides, codes for 1 polypeptide Dna: polynucleotides, 2 strands in double helix Chromosomes: dna threads coil around protein -> chromatin threads (condense and coil) -> chromosomes
47
Social and ethical implications of genetic engineering
Affordable drugs/medicine like human insulin Improved nutritional quality of food Social = lead to class distinctions and religious disputes Health = genes for antibiotic resistance may cause human diseases Environmental = GE crops may produce toxins that are harmful to insects
48
Mutation def
A change in structure of gene or in chromosome number
49
Examples of enviro factors that are forces of natural selection
Environmental pressures: Predation, disease, food shortage??
50
Describe non cylical nature of energy flow
- sun main source - light e to Chem e via psis - e from level to another via feeding - lost via heat uneaten parts dead bodies excretion
51
Decomposer in food chains
- obtain e by breaking down dead orgs, faeces, excretory products - release inorganic nutrients eg carbon and nitrogen
52
How carbon is cycled
Removed: photosynthesis Released: resp, combustion, decomp
53
Structure of eye
54
Producing near and far objects in eye
55
Pupil reflex bright and dim light
