Biology Flashcards
the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration of the molecules to an area with a lower concentration
Diffusion in cells
The skeleton consists of both fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage
Skeleton
Muscles have a range of functions from pumping blood and supporting movement to lifting heavy weights or giving birth.
Muscles
Organs are structures made up of two or more tissues organized to carry out a particular function, and groups of organs with related functions make up the different organ systems.
Organs and organsystems
Specialised cells are cells designed to carry out a particular role in the body
Speacialized cells
An organelle is a subcellular structure that has one or more specific jobs to perform in the cell
Cell organelles
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules. Animal cells often have an irregular shape
Plant and animal cells
defined as movement of molecules across a membrane by a concentration gradient, while facilitated diffusion occurs if molecules cross the membrane via a protein channel or carrier. Active transport happens when molecules are pushed against the concentration gradient. This requires energy.

a range of functions from pumping blood and supporting movement to lifting heavy weights or giving birth. Muscles work by either contracting or relaxing to cause movement. This movement may be voluntary (meaning the movement is made consciously) or done without our conscious awareness (involuntary).
Muscles
consists of both fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage. It serves as a scaffold which supports organs, anchors muscles, and protects organs such as the brain, lungs, heart and spinal cord.
