Q

What is a double blind trial?

A

The test group recieve the actuall drug however the control group recieves the placebo.
However the patients nor the doctor know who has the placebo and the real one.

Q

What is the diffrence between Xylem and Phloem?

A

1.Phloem can carry sugar in both direction while xylem can only carry water and mineral from 1 direction(root to leaves).

2.Xylem made from dead cell while phloem made from living cell.

3.Phloem does translocation while Xylem does translocation.

33
Q

How do you get from micrometer to mm?

A

/1000

34
Q

What is a stent?

A

A wire mesh that can be inserted to expand lumen to improve blood flow.

35
Q

What are statins?

A

Drugs which reduce the level of chloestrole in the blood which in turn slows down the rate fatty acid build up in arterys.

36
Q

What are advantage of statins?

A

Proven to reduce the risk of coronery heart disease.

37
Q

What are dis-advantage of statins?

A

Unwanted side effects eg.liver problem

38
Q

What is the advantage of stents?

A

Blood can flow normally through artery.

39
Q

What are dis-advantage of stents?

A

Wont prevent other region of coronary artery from narrowing(Doesnt treat underlying causes)

40
Q

What is other type of cardiovascual disease involve?

A

Heart Valves

41
Q

What happens if heart valves dont fully open?

A

Blood has to be pump extremely hard to get blood through leading to heart to enlargen.

42
Q

What happens if heart valves are leaky?

A

Cause patient to feel weak and tired.

43
Q

What is the need for a waxy cuticle?

A

Waterproof layer to stop water leaving the cell

44
Q

What is the upper epidermes?

A

Transparant layer to let light through

45
Q

What 3 things increase rate of transpiration?

A

Increase wind,temp and less humdity

46
Q

What do bacteria do?

A

Release toxin in body that damage cell

47
Q

What do virus do?

A

Reproduce by inserting gene into cell which cause them to prduce more copies.

48
Q

What does Rose balck spot do?

A

Cause leaves to fall off

49
Q

What does Tobbaco mosaic cirus do?

A

Discolour the leaves so less chlorophyll so stunted growth.

50
Q

What do lymphocytes produce?

A

Produce anti-toxins to neutralise toxins and antibodie to bind to antigens

51
Q

What do phagocytes do?

A

Ingest Pathogens

52
Q

What is 4 things glucose is made from?

A

1.Respiration
2.Making starch to store energy
3.Making cellulous
4.Make amino acid for protein

53
Q

What is metabolism?

A

The sum of all chemical reaction in the body.

54
Q

Tell me the scale measurement in order?

A

1.Micrometer
2.nanometer
3.millimter
4.m
5.km

55
Q

If we going to the right of the scale measurement what does we do?

A

/1000

56
Q

If we going to the left of the scale measurement what does we do?

A

*1000

57
Q

How is the villi adapted to absorption?

A

1.Many microvilli(which are hairs) increase Sa for absorption.

58
Q

Give the run through of trial.

A

1.Preclinical trial of new drug on live animal to test for efficay dosage and toxicity.
2.Clinical trials on healthy vollunteer and on patient with the disease on low dosage to test for saftey.
3.Then can run trials to find optimum dosage and test for efficacy.
4.Use double blind trial/placebo(which isnt the drug)
5.Peer review data to avoid bias.

59
Q

3 way the aveoli adapted to gas exchange?

A

1.Made up of one layer of very thin cells and next to blood capillary so short diffusion path.
2.Very large Surface area so lots of space for diffusion
3.Aveoli walls are moist so gas disolves increasing rate of diffusion.

60
Q

What happen to lactic acid in our body?

A

Blood carry out lactic acid to the liver where it reacts with oxygen and is converted back to glucose.

61
Q

What are pathogens?

A

Microraganism that can cause infection disease

62
Q

What are all the limiting factors of photosynthesis?

A

Light intensity,co2 concentration, temperature and amount of chloroplast.
