Zygote
This is formed when an egg is fertilised by a sperm
Diploid
Contains the full number of chromosomes
Haploid
Contains the full number of chromosomes
Gene
Section of DNA
Enzymes
Are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body
Meiosis
- Used to produce haploid gametes for sexual reproduction
- Each daughter cell has half of the number number of chromosomes of the parent
During meiosis copies of the genetic information are made and then the cell divides twice to give four daughter cells and they are genetically different
Diffusion
When something moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Diffusion and how is it affected ?
The speed can be affected by the temperature the higher the temp the faster
Lungs
They are mAde of aviolie
Aerobic respiration
Where we are getting lots of oxygen
Anaerobic respiration.
Where we need oxygen but we don’t have enough oxygen debt it produces lactic acid which is acidic and we get a cramp (muscle fatigue)
Epoc the reason why the minute you stop exercising you have a high heart rate. It’s repaying the oxygen we need oxygen to get rid of the lactic acid
Photosynthesis equation
Carbon dioxide + water ->
Gamete
An egg or a sperm are called this
