Biology Flashcards
Adaptation
Characteristic they make organism/cells best suited for their environment/function
Differentiation
Process during an unspecialised cell turns into very specific cell with a specific adaptation
7 parts of an microscope
1.Eye piece lens
2.fine focusing wheel (small)
3.course focusing wheel (big)
4. Objective lens
5.Slide
6.Stage
7.Mirror
Magnification
the process of enlarging the physical appearance/image of something
image size=
actual size * magnification
advantages and disadvantages of electron microscopes
-Vacuum required
-Sample must be dead
-No colours
-High resolution
-Expensive to buy and operate
-Complex sample preparations
advantages and disadvantages of light microscopes
-Vacuum isn’t required
-Sample mustn’t be dead
-Colours
-Low resolution
-Not that expensive
-Complex sample preparations
resolution
ability to distinguish between two points
Parts of animal cells

Cell wall
Parts of bacteria cell
Cell membrane
Cell wall
Slime coat
Ribosomes

Flagellum
Enzyme
Enzymes act as a biological catalysts by lowering activating energy for a reaction to occur and not being changed chemically in the reaction
Process when substate is going in activate site
Enzyme substare complex
Enzymes activate site is…
complimentary to substare
Salivary Amylase
Trypsin
Maltase
Lipase
Protease
Carbohydrate to glucose
Chains of amino acids to smaller chains of amino acids
Maltose to glucose
Lipids to fatty acids + glycerol
proteins to amino acids
