27
Aspects of survey that may reduce validity
people underestimate / overestimate alcohol consumption • people may change (lifestyle / drinking) habits over time • some people may drink all their weekly alcohol at once
28
Effects of liver failure on human body -main points
- no bile made in liver - lactic acid not broken down/oxidised - proteins/ammino acids not broken down in liver - liver does not break downn/remove other toxins(like alcohol) - glycoge stores will not be formed
29
Effect on body of no biile being made
fats / lipids are not emulsified surface area of fats / lipids not increased pH of smallintestine will not be alkaline/neutralised enzymes (in small intestine) will not work effectively or (named) food not digested / absorbed somayloseweight
30
Effect of lactic acid not broken down/oxidised on body
accumulation of lactic acid in blood / body Lactic acid is toxic or body will be poisoned o oxygen debt higher/prolonged o so muscle pain/ fatigue
31
Effect of proteins/amino acid not being broken down in body
amino acids) not deaminated o amino acids not made into urea or will not form ammonia o (however)any ammonia formed is toxic o so accumulation of amino acids in blood / body
32
Effect of liver not breaking down or removing other toxins such as alcohol on body
toxins accumulate in blood / body o body will be poisoned o so pain or jaundice or swollen liver or portal hypertension occurs
33
Glycogen stores will not be formed effect on body
cannot control blood glucose | o so hyperglycaemia / hypoglycaemia / diabetes / coma may occur
34
Describe how mAbs and a dluorescent dye could be used to see anycanadia albicans pathogens on a slide
bind fluorescent dye to mAbs put (bound) fluorescent mAbs on the slide (and rinse off) mAbs will bind to Candida albicans / pathogens and show up under the microscope
35
How will increased phagocytosis of the canadia albicans pathogen will help the patient
more Candida albicans / pathogens will be engulfed / killed by phagocytes / white blood cells therefore less damage to cells / tissues / organs
36
Ways a person with a mild infection of salmonella can help prevent the spread of the bacteria to other people
``` wash hands after using toilet / being sick or wash hands before preparing / handling food or do not prepare food (whilst infected) • isolate yourself • disinfect clothes / surfaces • do not share utensils / cutlery / towels ```
37
Why might a person with AIDS take longer than a healthy person to recover from a salmonella infection
immune system is damaged / weakened or immune system doesn’t function properly white blood cells cannot kill bacteria / Salmonella (as effectively)
38

give chickens) antibiotics • don’t sell infected chickens / eggs • keep infected chickens isolated / indoors • slaughter the infected chickens
39
Give one change to the investigation that would allow the scientist to check if the results are repeatable
repeat and look to see if results are similar
40

41
For experiment by student how many people as a minium
Atleast 5 in each in group
42
Why having more red blood cells is an advantage to an athlete
more haemoglobin (therefore) more oxygen can be carried / transported (for) more (aerobic) respiration of muscle (cells) or more energy released for muscle (cells)
43
Compare the structure of an artery with the sturcture of a vein
arteries have a thicker layer of muscle (tissue) or veins have a thinner layer of muscle (tissue) • arteries have a thicker layer of elastic tissue or veins have a thinner layer of elastic tissue • arteries have a narrower lumen or veins have a wider lumen • arteries do not have valves and veins have valves
44

-water entered by osmosis from a dilute solution in the beaker to a more concentrated solution in the egg (cell) through a partially permeable membrane
47
How to determine conc of solution inside each egg
``` use five (or more) different concentrations of salt / sugar solution (in beakers) (by) plotting percentage change (in mass / volume) on / using a graph determine the concentration where the curve / line crosses the zero percentage change (in mass / volume) ```
48
Why the mouthpiece of an aphid contains a high conc of dissolved sugars after feeding
mouthpiece) has pierced / entered the phloem or (the aphid) has been feeding from the phloem
49
How use protein to make specific monoclonal antibody
inject the protein / it into a mouse combine lymphocytes with tumour / cancer cells to make hybridoma (cells) find a hybridoma which makes a monoclonal antibody specific to PVY (the scientist) clones (the hybridoma) to produce many cells (to make the antibody
50
Test for protein
Buiret | -blue to lilac if positive
51
Why the measurement of the time taken for the indicator to become colourless might become inaccurate
observation of colour change is subjective / based on opinion
52
Reslution
Ability to distinguish between two or more objects that are close together
53
Why cant see image
``` -no cells in the field of view • slide not in the correct position • mirror not in correct position • (objective) lens not clicked into place or (objective) lens dirty • (student is) looking at a (large) air bubble • (the microscope is) not focussed ```
54
Magnification
-how many times larger an image is when seen through a microscope compared to the real object
55
Dependant variable- potato tube experiment
% change in mass
56
Control variables for potato tube experiment
- vol solution used - same type of potato - same duration - same temp
57
Safety- potato tube
-safetygoggles prevent salt solution entering eyes
58
Why is a certain animal used in an experiment
- small-easy to keep- take up less room | - easy to breed
59
What is the purpose of the knobs
to focus (the image / cells)
60
Similarities between rbc and plant cells
Both have - cell membrane - cytoplasm - pigments (although diff)
61
Diff between rbc and plant cell
red blood cell has no nucleus or plant cell has a nucleus • red blood cell has no cell wall or plant cell has a cell wall • red blood cell is a biconcave disc or there are many different shapes of plant cell • red blood cell contains haemoglobin or plant cells do not contain haemoglobin • red blood cells do not contain chlorophyll or plant cells (may) contain chlorophyll • red blood cell has no chloroplasts or plant cell has chloroplasts • red blood cell has no (permanent) vacuole or plant cell has (permanent) vacuole • red blood cells are (much) smaller than plant cells
62
Aseptic techniques
sterilise equipment / surfaces (before use) • (use) sterilised agar • secure lid of the Petri dish with (adhesive) tape • only lift lid of Petri dish a little (when setting up plate) or lift lid of Petri dish at an angle (when setting up plate)
63
How to improve experiment w/ antibiotic experiment
``` repeat and calculate a mean • repeat and eliminate anomalies • use a control disc • use different types of bacteria ```

Explain the financial impact on the uk economy of increasing number of people who are obese
costs the NHS / UK health service / Government / hospitals more money (because need to pay for) additional surgery / medication / hospital stay to treat stroke / diabetes or more time off work (if in hospital / unwell) (1) (so) employer / Government have to give financial support (1
65
How could arthritus affect a person’s lifestyle
``` movement issues • loss of job / income • disability • mental health impact of lack of movement or mental health impact of pain • need to visit the doctor / take medication regularly • may need surgery ```
66
Health conditions might develop if person consumes diet high in sat fat
``` type 2 diabetes CVD / CHD or heart attack / disease or stroke ```
67
Uses of energy released in respiration
movement / muscle contraction • keeping warm • active transport • building larger molecules
68
Diff between aerobic and anearobc respiration
anaerobic produces lactic acid and aerobic does not • aerobic produces carbon dioxide and anaerobic does not • aerobic produces water and anaerobic does not • aerobic occurs (mainly) in the mitochondria and anaerobic does not • anaerobic releases less energy than aerobic
69
Products of anaerobic respiration in plant cells
Carbon dioxide | Ethanol
70
Why does the conc of carbon dioxide in the tube stay the same (when pond snail and plant are present)
pondweed takes in CO2 for photosynthesis | snail and pondweed are respiring producing CO2
71
Why the conc of co2 increased (when light covered, plant and snail present)
``` no light so) no photosynthesis or plant is not taking in CO2 and snail and plant are respiring and so are releasing CO2 ```
72
Why the death of the snail caused the conc of co2 to increase
snail is being decayed / decomposed / broken down | by) decomposers / bacteria (in pond water / snail (therefore) respiration (of decomposers / bacteria) releases CO2
73
Explain how amylase breaks down starch
starch / substrate binds to active site (of enzyme) (because) shape of active site and substrate are complementary a chemical reaction occurs to produce smaller molecules or bonds between the (starch) molecules are broken to produce smaller molecules
74
Control variables in efefct of ph on amylase
``` time before mixing (starch and amylase) solutions • volume / 5 cm3 of starch (solution) • volume / 1 cm3 of amylase (solution) • volume / 1 drop of mixture added to spotting tile • volume / 2 drops of iodine (solution) ```
75
Why at 5 degrees is there no enzymatic activity
at 5 °C amylase / starch / molecules have low (kinetic) energy (therefore) there are fewer (enzyme-substrate) collisions
76
Describe the student could exend the investigation to determine the effect of a diff factor on amylase activity
Keep temp constant -change named factor AND -test range of values of named factpr
77
Which cell structure in a leaf mesophyll cell is not found in a root hair cell
Chloroplasts
78
Why is it dangerous for a patient with group a to recieve rbc from a donor w/ blood group b
anti-B antibodies in patient / receiver / recipient will bind to type B antigens on person’s / donor’s red blood cells (so) red blood cells clump together and are wider than capillaries or (so) red blood cells clump together and block capillaries (so) cells have reduced supply of oxygen / glucose or (so) cells can’t respire
79
