Q

Plant tissue example- Epidermis

A
  • A single layer of cells that surrounds the different parts of a plant
  • the skin on the outside of herbaceous (non-woody) plants
  • it protects and it’s cuticle prevents water loss

Q

Plant tissues example, vascular tissue

A
  • complete tissue of xylem and phloem
  • located in the roots, stems, leaves and flowers, in vascular bundles
  • it transports materials around the plant from root to leaves, and supports the plant

Q

Animal tissue eg. Nervous tissue

A
  • Made of nerve cells called nerurons, which may be bundled together and wrapped in connective tissue to form nerves.
  • located in the brain and spinal chord
  • they carry impulses/stimuli/messages to and from the brain and spinal chord

16
Q

Sterile

A

Absence of contamination

17
Q

Micropropagation

A

The growth of large numbers of plants from very small plant pieces

18
Q

Callus

A

•A clump of similar cells produced by micropropagation

19
Q

How does a callus get to a plant in micropropagation

A

•The growing conditions are changed so that the callus continues to grow to form an embryo and then a young plant that can be transferred to the soil

20
Q

5 Benefits of micropropagation

A

1) A large number of plants are produced in a short time
2) Plants are genetically identical to parent
3) Inexpensive way to produce large numbers of similar plants
4) Don’t need pollinators or seeds
5) Producing plants that are disease resistant and virus free

21
Q

The two Disadvantages of micropropagation

A

1) All offspring are susceptible to the same diseases

2) Long p-term micropropagation can lead to plants becoming sterile

22
Q

Difference between animal tissue culture vs. plant tissue culture

A

•Human cells tend to grow in single layered sheets rather than clumps

23
Q

Three improvements in animal culture

A

1) Growing skin cells to replace burnt skin
2) Bone tissue and cartilage grown for use in reconstructive surgery
3) Some success in growing large quantities of cells that produce a specific chemical eg. Insulin producing cells

24
Q

Organ…

A

•A structure composed of a number of tissues that work together to carry out one or more functions

25
Q

Six examples of plant organs

A

1) Stem
2) Leaf
3) Flower
4) Seeds
5) Fruits
6) Roots

26
Q

Leaf

A

•Leaves contains dermal tissue, ground tissue and vascular tissue which all combine so that the leaf can carry out photosynthesis

27
Q

6 animal organs

A

1) Heart
2) Stomach
3) Liver
4) Lungs
5) Skin
6) Intestine

28
Q

Heart

A
  • Contains cardiac muscle(muscular tissue), pericardium (epithelial tissue), blood and blood vessels (connective tissue) and nerves (nervous tissue).
  • It’s function is to pump blood
29
Q

Organ systems

A

A number of organs working together to carry out one or more functions

30
Q

Circulatory system

A
  • consists of heart, blood vessels and blood
  • includes lymph vessels and lymph
  • transports materials and fights infection
31
Q

Digestive system

A
  • consists of mouth, oesophageal, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus (also liver and pancreas)
  • takes in food, digests it, and transfers it to blood so that it is carried to all cells
32
Q

Organism

A

A group of systems functioning together for living eg. Human
