biology mock Flashcards
what is a limiting factor
prevent rate of reaction increasing any further
what happens before a cell divides
there is an increase in subcellular structures
how do you calculate magnification
image size/actual size
what is 1 mm in nm
1mm=1 000 000 nm
what does drug x mean about cell division
nucleus cannot divide as chromosomes are not pulled to each end of the cell
what is pre clinical testing
test drugs on like tissues in lab
what is the method for investigating osmosis
- cut the potatoes into identical cylinders
- get beakers with pure water,0.2 mol/dm3,0.4 mol/dm3,0.6 , 1 mol/dm3 of sugar solution (same volume)
- measure the mass of cylinder (dry) then leave in each beaker for 24 hrs
- take them out,dry them and measure mass again
how do you do food tests for carbs
- use iodine solution(startch), put a few drops on cake, turns from browny orange to blue-black if present
- use benedicts solution(sugars). heat cake with benedicts solution using a water bath. turns from blue to green,yellow or red depending on how much sugar
how do sub cellular structures help to move dissolved sugars in phloem
cell contains mitochondria which releases energy needed to move the sugars against the concentration gradient by active transport
explain how increasing temperature and co2 increase rate
- increasing temperature while co2 is constant increases rate as particles have ore kinetic energy so more movement
- increasing co2 increases the reactants
- the rate decreases at a certain point due to another limiting factor
why does bread taste sweet
it contains starch which is broken down into glucose which contains amalyse
what is the palisade cell
contains most chloroplasts
what is the spongy mesophyll
contains air spaces
what are meristems
can differentiate
what is lignin
strengthens xylem tissue
