Q

Laws of Thermodynamics

A
  1. It can be changed from one form to another

2. Each time it converts, some energy is lost as heat

24
Q

ATP

A
  • Stores energy obtained from food
  • Release’s it later as needed
  • Acts as an energy shuttle
25
Q

Cellular respiration

A

Animals get energy from their food through this process, converts chemical energy into food
Glucose + Oxygen →Carbon Dioxide & Water + ATP
c6h12o6+6o2 → 6co2+6h2o

26
Q

Photosynthesis

A

Plants convert solar energy into chemical energy (stored in the bonds of sugars, we consume these molecules as food)
Carbon Dioxide + Water → Glucose & oxygen
6co2+6h2o → c6h1206+6o2

A gene from a normal individual is cloned and inserted into a non-harmful virus, bone marrow cells are taken from infected patient and infected with recombinant virus the virus inserts itself into bad cell.

39
Q

GMO’s

Q

Variation

A

Traits are genetically controlled & vary within populations

41
Q

Inheritance
