Q

The ovaries two jobs are

A

to contain underdeveloped eggs and to make female sex hormones

19
Q

Gametes are the male and female

20
Q

the female gamete

A

is the Ova

21
Q

the male gamete

A

is the sperm

22
Q

when the male and female gamete join together

A

it is called fertilisation

23
Q

ovary is connected to the uterus

A

by am oviduct

24
Q

the oviduct is lined with

25
cilia are
tiny hairs
26
the menstrual cycle lasts
approximately 28 day cycle
27
the menstrual cycle prepares the body
for pregnancy
28
hormone levels
change during the cycle
29
uterus sheds lining
causing a period on the first day
30
bleeding slows and stops
the uterus grows back lining on days 5-7
31
body makes a hormone
to encourage an egg to mature day 8
32
oestrogen is produced
in the ovaries
33
the lining growing back is controlled
by the hormone oestrogen
34
carbohydrates are
energy
35
what are the two types of carbohydrates
Simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates
36
what are simple carbohydrates
they contain simpler sugar's eg chocolate milk and fruit
37
what are complex carbohydrates
known as starch eg bread rice and pasta
38
carbohydrates are used as
an important source of energy
39
the body breaks down carbohydrates
into glucose
40
glucose can be absorbed
into the blood stream
41
amylase breaks down starch
into suger
42
when sugar is in the blood stream it travels
to the body cells where respiration is carried out
43
sugary foods are
broken down quicker
44
starchy foods are
harder to break down
