A

organism —> organ system —> organ —> tissue —> cell

66
Q

what happens when you breathe out?

A

the intercostal muscles relax, ribs move down and closer to spine, and the diaphragm relaxes and moves up and the vol of air in chest decreases

67
Q

what is the definition of diffusion?

A

the spreading of the particles of a gas, eg : oxygen or particles im of any solution eg : glucose, resulting in a movement of particles from an area of high conc to an area of low concentration.

68
Q

what factors affect and increase diffusion time?

A

Hugh remix large SA, higher gradient and smaller particles eg: lots of particles to a few

69
Q

what state has the fastest diffusion?

A

gas

70
Q

due to a smaller SA : ? ratio in multicellular ?, surfaces and organ systems need to be ? to exchange materials effectively

A

Vol, organisms, specialised

71
Q

effectiveness of an exchange system is increased by 4 different factors - name them and describe how it improves diffusion :

A

large SA - more space for diffusion,
thin membrane (normally one cell thick) - a short diffusion path,
good blood supply - steep conc gradient,
well ventilated - also steep concentration gradient.
all of these mean a faster rate of diffusion

72
Q

what is active transport?

A

moving up or against a concentration gradient, or when molecules/ions move against a conc gradient across a semi permeable membrane

73
Q

what does active transport use energy for? (and where does the energy come from?)))

A

to make ‘protein pumps’ which move particles the wrong way - this energy is from aerobic respiration so could be for example glucose from intestine into blood

74
Q

which route does O2 take to get to the blood? and how is the route for CO2 different?

A

O2 passes through trachea —> bronchus —> bronchiole —> alveoli —> blood, CO2 is different as it goes the opposite way and leaves the blood and body

75
Q

what is osmosis?

A

when water moves from an area of high conc of water to an area of low concentration of water across a semi-permeable membrane!!! x

76
Q

what is the difference between high and low conc and high and low water conc

A

high conc is the same as low water conc and vice versa with low conc and high water conc

77
Q

what would happen to a cell that had been put in 1.0 M of sucrose? (OSMOSIS)

A

the cell would contain less water as the water would diffuse across the semi permeable membrane due to the high conc of water in the cell and low conc of water in the sucrose. this leads to it losing water and becoming FLACCID

78
Q

what would happen to a cell that had been put in 0.0 M of sucrose? (OSMOSIS)

A

it would get full of water as it would absorb all the water since the water is moving from a low conc to a high conc (or high water conc to low water conc) and because of this it’ll be quite hard and turgid

79
Q

potato chip experiment - need to be able to explain osmosis… what happened to the mass of the 0.0M chip and the 1.0M chip - COMPARE!!!

A

mass increased for 0.0M, while 1.0M stayed the same and even slightly lost mass

80
Q

what is a hypotonic solution?

A

hypo - so lower, so low conc, so a solution with a high concentration of water and therefore a dilute solution

81
Q

what is a hypertonic solution?

A

hyper means higher, so high conc, low water concentration, so concentrated solution!

82
Q

what’s an isotonic solution?

A

a normal solution

83
Q

what happens to red blood cells if put in a hypotonic solution?

A

they burst as they absorb so much water - cause low to high - water diffuses across the semi permeable membrane into the rbc s !

84
Q

what happens to red blood cells if put in a hypertonic solution?

A

they become crenated/crinkled as there is a high conc outside and low inside so water will diffuse out across the semi permeable membrane

85

94
Q

what is the independent variable plotted on and why?

A

the x axis, as it is the factor you are changing

95
Q

what axis is the dependent variable plotted on and why?

A

the y axis, as it is the one you are measuring and it is dependent on the independent variable - like a metal rod or a stand is dependent on the balancing part of the stand

96
Q

parts of the upper epidermis (and characteristics)

A

section closest a to surface, has no chloroplasts (sun shines through to palisade mesophyll for photosynthesis) , has a waxy cuticle which stops water evaporating from leaves

97
Q

palisade mesophyll?

A

where 80% of photosynthesis happens, near top for max photosynthesis, palisade cells are packed tightly to maximise no of cells and photosynthesis as well as chloroplasts being at the top of cells for max sunlight!!!

98
Q

spongy mesophyll

A

where most gas exchange happens, has a large SA for co2 absorption from irregular shaped cells - (have chloroplasts so can photosynthesise), has air spaces for co2 to move to palisade later for photosynthesis, as well as stores vascular bundle of xylem and phloem (transport sugar, water and minerals as well as products of photosynthesis , eg: o2 )

99
Q

lower epidermis

A

lots of stomata for gas exchange, bring in co2 for photosynthesis (and take out o2) , stomata are controlled by guard cells which open and close for o2 and co2 diffusion in and out

100
Q

when does the stoma/stomata open?
when guard cells fill with ? by osmosis,
the thicker inner ? stretches less than the thin ?wall,
making the guard ? bend in a banana shape,
the stoma then ? between the guard cells

A

water, wall, outer, cell, opened

101
Q

translocation - what happens?
sugars are transported from ? for immediate use for respiration, normally these are as sucrose and as ? acids, this is by the use of ? cells, and is an active process meaning it can move in ? direction but ? at the same time

A

leaves, amino, phloem, any, NOT

102
Q

equation for intensity?

A

1/d squared

103
Q

in a graph of rate photosynthesis plotted against temp, why is the rate so low at 5 degrees and at 80?

A

at 5 degrees it is just the start of the experiment and the rate is rising but the enzyme hasn’t got to its optimum temperature yet (37 degrees so room temp) , however at 80 it has gone past the optimum temperature meaning that it is too hot for rhe enzyme to function and it starts to denature it - meaning the enzyme gradually loses its use and by 80 degrees it is fully denatured and cannot function anymore

104
Q

what does a potometer measure?

A

the rate of transpiration by uptake of water

105
Q

how does a potometer work?

A

you measure the time and how far the air bubble has gone in that time and then work out the rate by how many cm per minute the bubble has moved

106
Q

transpiration process : water from soil enters ?, via root hair ? water then moves from cell to ? till it meets the ? , where xylem and ? transport water around the rest of a plant - eg : going into a leaf and giving water to the ? in the leaf to hydrate the leaf
