Bio 2 Flashcards
What channels blood from heart to heart muscles?
Aorta
How do you know if a part is filling or emptying of blood?
Open/closed valves
Difference between tricuspid valve and semi lunar valve
Tri has chordae tendineae (attaches valve to ventricular wall)
When identifying labelled shit
Singular
Eg mitochondrion not mitochondria
Structural diff between lower epithelium and guard cells
GC has chloroplasts unlike LE
GC has thicker cell wall
Advantages of wilting
Leaves fold up
Reduce SA exposed
Photosynthesis decreases
WP decreases
Water mols diffuse out of guard cell osmosis, become flaccid
Stomata closes
Reduces transpiration rate
Prevents excessive water loss
Beans
Lotta protein
How does oxygen help uptake of substances eg. Metals
Low oxy Low uptake
Mode of uptake diffusion
High oxy high uptake
Oxygen used by root hair cells during aerobic respiration to release energy
Energy used for active trans against conc gradient
Cell under microscope, shit ton of lines like IIIIIIIIII in varying length
Golgi apparatus
Loss of latent heat of ——
Vaporisation (from evap of water in sweat)
Procedure for nutrient tests x4
Reducing sugars: 2cm3 Benedict’s sol, 2cm3 sample. Shake and heat.
Starch: iodine: 2cm3 + few drops
Fats: ethanol emulsion: 2cm3 ethanol + 2cm3 sample - white emulsion, 2 inmiscible layers
Proteins: biuret: 2cm3 + 2cm3
Lock and key hypothesis
Specific 3D shape w active site
Only substrate (key) can fit in active site (lock) cause complementary
Transport and storage format of glucose in plants
Sucrose
Starch
Structure and role of villus (capillaries and lacteals)
- folds, villi, microvilli
- thin walls (one cell)
- dense network of caps -> quick transport away -> maintain conc g (glu and aa) (active trans)
- lacteal: Transports fats (in epithelium: fatty a and gly combine into fat globule)
Roles of liver 5
- carb metabolism
- fat digestion
- breakdown of rbcs
- metabolism of AA and formation of urea (deamination)
- breakdown of alcohol (detox)
Effects of too much alcohol (mates pissed)
- reduced self control
- depressant
- reduced reaction times
- damage to liver
- social implications
Equation for photosynthesis
Co2 + water -light and chlorophyll-> glucose + o2
Ways water transported to leaves 3
- 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
Define transpiration
Def: exhalation of water vapour out of stomata
(Consequence of gas exchange in plants)
Translocation
Transport of food in the phloem tissue (sucrose/aa) bidirectional
Translocation study
Long tubular mouth (proboscis) of aphid cut open, fluid out is sucrose and aa
What’s with plasma
- transport rbcs, ions, sol. food sub. , hormones, co2, urea, vitamins, plasma proteins
