Q

Explain why the model for membrane structure is known as a fluid Mosiac model

A

The model is said to be fluid because the phospholipids are able to move
The model is said to be Mosiac because the proteins are randomly distributed. It’s called a model because it is the theory we have the most evidence for

22
Q

What is the structure enzymes?

A

They have a specific active site which is complementary to its substrate, allowing them to bind and form enzyme substrate complexes

23
Q

What are glycoproteins?

A

They’re composed of carbohydrates and proteins and are on the outer surface of the membrane and are important in cell recognition often acting as antigens

24
Q

What do the immune cells detect?

A

The specific shapes of the glycol proteins to identify if the cells are foreign

25
Q

Where are glycol proteins produced?

A

In the Golgi body within the cell that displays them

26
Q

What do all cells have?

A

Glycoproteins in the surface cell membrane

27
Q

What are Aquaporins

A

A special type of channel proteins specific to water

28
Q

What happens if a cell has a lot of aquaporins

A

It will be permeable to water and will carry out osmosis easily

29
Q

What do carrier proteins do?

A

Carry larger molecules through membrane

30
Q

What is diffusion?

A

Net movement on molecules from area of high concentration to a low concentration across a partially permeable membrane

31
Q

What is the function of PCT

A

Selective reabsorption of amino acids

32
Q

What does the renal vein do?

A

Carry blood away from the kidney to the heart

33
Q

What hormone regulates that absorption of water in collecting duct?

A

ADH

34
Q

How does the difference in diameters help the process of ultrafiltration?

A

Causes high pressure due to description of aids pushing small molecules from blood into filtrate

35
Q

What is the function of the loop of henle

A

To create a very high concentration of salts in the tissue fluid of the kidney

36
Q

Give advantage of having a kidney transplant

A

No need for dialysis

37
Q

Why does amoeba need many mitochondria?

A

For movement of the contractile

38
Q

Why is time delay important at the AV node as the impulse spreads

A

To allow the atria to finish contracting, so blood goes from atria into ventricles to allow time for the valves to close before the ventricles start to contract

39
Q

Explain why the student has a higher rate of oxygen consumption when cycling them when at rest

A

Increased muscle contraction using more ATP, so aerobic respiration in mitochondria gets rid of the lactic acid and re-oxygenates the myoglobin

40
Q

What is the plasma membrane made of?

A

Phospholipids
Cholesterol
Protein
Carbohydrates

41
Q

What are Channel proteins?

A

These proteins allow water to pass through the membrane

42
Q

What does carrier protein do

A

These cause a change in shape, which allows a substance from the outside of cell move to the inside

43
Q

What is a function of the bicuspid valve?

A

Prevents backflow of blood
From left ventricle to the left atrium

44
Q

How do electrical impulses spread?

A

From sinoatrial node from the atria to the atrioventricular node and then a time delay happens down to the bundle of his up the purkinje fibres

45
Q

How do you find percentage decrease?

A

Difference/original x100

46
Q

How does caffeine change the cardiac output of the daphinia

A

Caffeine increases the cardiac output
Because heart rate is increased
Caffeine is a stimulant and binds to the receptors
Increasing the stoke volume

47
Q

Explain why anyone can be given type O blood

A

No antigens in group O
So no binding with recipients antibodies
No clotting

48
Q

What is myogenic?

A

When the muscle contracts on its own, without any signal from the brain, and they generate their own electrical impulses

49
Q

What does the coronary artery do?

A

Carries blood that contains oxygen to the heart muscle

50
Q

Explain how a blocked coronary artery may lead to a heart attack

A

Less oxygen to the heart muscles
So less respiration and less energy so part of the heart dies so the heart cannot beat

51
Q

Which term describes the patient’s resting heart rate?

A

Tachycardia

52
Q

What is the function of the vena cava

A

Carries deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart

53
Q

Give three functions of the capillaries

A

Carries oxygenated blood to cell
Absorbs nutrients in the gut
Slows the blood flow so exchange can occur
