osmosis in animals

A
  • shape of red blood cells is designs to maximize their surface area
  • unicellular organisms have mechanisms that are able to remove excess water by forming pools in the cytoplasm called contractile vacuoles
  • multicellular are bathed in isotonic fluid therefore can function effectively because there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell

Q

blood cells

A
  • if the plasma surrounding the blood cells becomes hypertonic water will move out of the cell and will shrink
  • these then stick together and clog veins preventing oxygen reaching blood tissues
  • if the plasma surrounding the cells becomes hypotonic the blood cells will swell and burst
  • this is called hemolysis which reduces the amount of oxygen being transported

Q

osmosis in plants

A

  • when a hypotonic solution surrounds the cell water molecules diffuse into the cytoplasm and then the vacuole
  • cells placed in solution whose solute concentration is lower then the sap water enters and becomes full turgor
  • cell placed in solution whose solute concentration is higher then the sap water leaves and becomes full plasmolysis

Q

cells are small

A
  • surface area allows a cell to gain or loose material quicker
  • when they grow they divide so they don’t get too big
  • as they get bigger it is difficult for them to exchange materials with their surroundings
  • any cell larger then 100um materials can’t diffuse fast enough to support the reactions needed fro life
  • cells in multicellular organisms are no bigger then 30um so they can exchange materials quicker and independently
  • molecules with a larger surface area to volume ratio loose heat faster

Q

some unicellular organisms have a contractile vacuole to remove excess water from their cells, why does water continually enter the cells? how does the water enter the cells? what is this process called?

A

because they have a large surface area/volume ratio and there is w high concentration on the outside and low on the inside the water enters through the cell membrane and it is called osmosis

Q

why does the food dye in the hot water diffuse quicker?

A

Temperature is related to how fast the molecules are vibrating.
Therefore, in the hot water the molecules were vibrating faster than they were in the cold water.
This causes the dye in the hot water to diffuse quicker

45
Q

leaf adaptations

A
  • large surface area = to absorb light

47
Q

2 phases of photosynthesis

A
  1. light dependent phase - occurs in the thylakoid membrane, splits water into hydrogen and oxygen ions
  2. light independent phase - occurs in the stroma, takes CO2 and combines with hydrogen ions and creates sugar
48
Q

factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis

A

light - as light increases photosynthesis increases until it hits a flat line, chlorophyll is working as fast as possible and can’t work any faster, it can only absorb a certain amount of light at one time
carbon dioxide - rate of photosynthesis increases as carbon dioxide concentration increases, makes a big different as it is a reactant. at high concentration the rate of photosynthesis begins to slow as limiting factors other then CO2 become important
temperature - increasing temperature increases photosynthetic rate because of its effect on enzyme activity, however temperatures exceeding optimum will eventually decrease photosynthetic rate

53
Q

induced fit model

A
  1. 2 substrate molecules are drawn into the active site
  2. the enzyme changes shape forcing the substrate molecules to combine
  3. the resulting end product is released by the enzyme which returns to its normal shape
54
Q

factors affecting enzymes

A

temperature - enzyme activity increases with temperature due to increased particle speed = increased collision with enzymes and substrates
- if too hot enzyme denatures loosing its 3D shape therefore substrate won’t fit
enzyme concentration - rate of reaction increases more enzymes present
substrate concentration - rate of reaction increases and then plateaus with increasing substance concentration
- all enzymes are busy and need to wait
