Light
Water
Gravity
39
Where are auxins produced
At the tip of the shoot
40
What are auxins used for
They encourage cell elongation in shoots
41
What is homeostasis?
The maintenance of a constant internal environment in the body (such as constant temp, water balance, etc)
42
What conditions need to be controlled in the human body in homeostasis?
Temperature

43
Phototropism
Directional growth response towards a stimulus of light
The shoots: grow towards the sunlight (positive)
The roots: grow away from it (negative)
44
Hydrotropism
Directional growth response towards a stimulus of water
The roots: positive grow towards water
45
Geotropism
Directional growth response towards a stimulus of gravity
The roots: grow towards the stimulus ( positive)
The shoots: grow away from the stimulus (negative)
46
Response to gravity
Auxins are produced in the tips of the roots and shoots, they collect at the bottom bcuz of gravity
Auxins make one side of the shoot grow faster
This causes the root to curve down towards gravity; this is a positive tropism
After 24 hours one side is growing up
47
What is the excretion?
The removal of waste substances that have been produced from chemical reactions inside the body, (in cells) such as carbon dioxide and urea in animals.
48
How is egestion different from excretion?
It is the removal of indigestes material from the body e.g. Faeces.
49
What are the organs of the xcretion
Lungs
Kidney
Skin- sweat
50
Function of the kidney
Filters blood, removes waste substances from the body. E.g. Urea, excess water, salt/mineral ions.
51
What are the bowmans capsule and loop of Henle's function in removing urea from the blood.
Ultrafiltration in the Bowmans capsule. Blood is put under pressure, so substances can come out.
Loop of Henle- allows for passage of urea
52

Learn
Sensory neurone and motor neurone
61
Hormonal response V nervous response
Nervous sends an electrical impulse/ hormonal sends a chemical message
Nervous speed is rapid/ hormonal speed in slower
Nervous Is very specific/ hormonal has widespread effects
Nervous is short term/ hormonal is long term
61
The pain receptor in ur skin is stimulated by
Pain
61
Advantages of the shoot and root responding to gravity
- The shoots will grow away from gravity and towards the light for photosynthesis
- allows roots to be anchored to the ground
- grow towards a source of water
62
How do respond to gravity?
- Auxins are produced in the tips of roots and shoots they collect at the bottom because of gravity
- auxins make one side of the shoot grow faster
- his causes the root to curve down towards gravity (positive tropism)
- after 24 hours one side is growing up
63
Phototropism response
The shoots grow towards the light (positive)
The roots grow away from it (negative)
64
Hydrotropism response
The roots grow towards water (positive)
65
Geotropism
The roots grow towards the stimulus (positive)
The shoots grow away from the stimulus (negative)

77
Process of reflex reaction
The stimulus is detected by the receptor, impulses travel to the CNS along a cell called a sensory neurone. Impulses then travel from the CNS to the effector along a cell called a motor neurone. The hand is pulled away from the sharp object by the effector.
78
Describe how the brain is informed of the image detected by the retina
Light padding through the eye and reaching the retina causes an electrical impulse to be sent to the brain along the optic nerve
79
ADH
Source: pituitary gland
Role: osmoregulstion, conservs water
80
Insulin
Source: pancreas
Role: causes muscle and liver cells to take glucose from the blood and lowers the blood sugar levels
81
Adrenaline
Source: adrenal gland
Role: stimulates the fight or flight increases heart rate to prepare for activity
82
Testosterone
Source: testis
Role: develops secondary sexual characteristics e.g. develop testicles, public hair, voice deepens
83
Progesterone
Source: ovary
Role: maintains pregnancy/implanted embryo and keeps the uterus lining sick
84
Oestrogen
Source: ovary
Role: produce a secondary sexual characteristics e.g. development of heart tissue, egg/ovum maturity
85
Which part of the CNS does the optic nerve go to

91
Substances in the blood taken into the nephron
Minerals, glucose, water,urea
| Not protein or blood cells
92
Substances reabsorbed back into the blood
Minerals, glucose, water
Not protein, blood cells, UREA
93
Products in the urine
Minerals, water, urea
Not glucose, protein, blood cells
94
What does ADH do in osmoregulation
Control water levels
95
Oamoregularion too much salt
Water content of blood is too low
Receptors in hypothalamus highly stimulated
Lots of ADH hormone is released from the brain
Collecting duct more permeable to water
More water is reabsorbed into the blood from the kidney tubules
Less urine highly concentrated (small volume)
96
Osmoregulation too much water drunk
Water content of blood is too high
Receptors in hypothalamus less stimulated
Less ADH hormone is released from the brain
The collecting duct is less permeable to water
Less water is reabsorbed into the blood from the kidney tubules
More urine very dilute (high volume)
97
Glomerulus and Bowmans capsule
Ultrafiltration takes place (blood under pressure) filtering under pressure
Glucose, water, amino acid's, minerals, urea go out of the blood because they are small (blood cells and proteins are too big)
The Bowmans capsule contains filtered liquid glomerular filtrate
Blood goes on containing mineral ions in water to the proximal convoluted tubule
98
proximal convoluted tubule
Glucose is reabsorbed here to prevent it going into The Urine
Selective re--absorption happens here
99
Looo of henlé
Some water is reabsorbed in this area by osmosis can't carry any proteins or glucose
Lots of salt which encourages water to go into this area (some minerals re-absorbed)
100
Collecting duct
Left over substances come here (minerals, water, urea)
Water sets absorbed form here when dehydrated
Controlled by the ADH hormone, makes the collecting duct more permeable, so more water is reabsorbed
Leftover waste liquid = 95% water
The more ADH you have the more water u absorb
