characteristics of nerve cells

A

known as neurons and has long, thin fibres

41

A

cover outerspace of body and line surface of organs

48
Q

functions of white blood cells

A

destroy bacteria and protect the body against diseases

49
Q

does white blood cell have a fixed shape?

A

no

50
Q

list two types of reproductive cells

A

sperm and ovum

51
Q

list 4 types of specialised plants cell

A

epidermal cells, palisade cells, root hair cells and guard cells

52
Q

state the way of formation of an organism

A

cell, tissue, organ, system and multicellular organism

53
Q

list 12 types of systems

A

blood circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, excretory system, integumentary system, muscular system, skeletal system, lympathic system, nervous system, endrocrine system and reproductive system.

54
Q

functions of blood circulatory system

A

transport respiratory gases, nutrients, hormones and waste products.

55
Q

functions of respiratory system

A

absorbs oxygen and releases carbon dioxide

56
Q

functions of digestive system

A

breaks down complex food into smaller form so that nutrients can be easily absorbed by the body

57
Q

functions of excretory system

A

removes excretory products

58
Q

functions of integumentary system

A

protects the body from infection and keeps the body from losing water excessively(dehydration)

59
Q

functions of muscular system

A

assists human in movements

60
Q

functions of skeletal system

A

provides support and protects internal organs

61
Q

functions of lympathic system

A

defends the body against infections

62
Q

functions of nervous system

A

carries nerve impulses and coordinates all body activities

63
Q

functions of endocrine system

A

secretes hormones

64
Q

functions of reproductive system

A

produces sperm cells, ova and hormones to produce offspring

65
Q

definition of external breathing

A

exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between an organism and its environment

66
Q

definition of cellular respiration

A

body cells are able to break down the food to release energy

67
Q

definition of photosynthesis

A

green plants make food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll

68
Q

products of photosynthesis

A

glucose and oxygen

69
Q

where is excess glucose stored and in what form?

A

leaves, stems, fruits and roots in the form of starch

70
Q

what test can be used to determine whether photosynthesis has taken place?

A

iodine test

71
Q

importance of cellular respiration and photosynthesis

A

survival of living things OR maintaining the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

72
Q

list two differences between cellular respiration and photosynthesis

A
  1. cellular respiration occurs in all the living things where else, photosynthesis occurs in all the plant cells that contain chlorophyll.
  2. cellular respiration is a process of breaking down food, where else photosynthesis is the process of making food.
  3. cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria, where else photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts.
  4. cellular respiration releases water and carbon dioxide, where else, photosynthesis uses water and carbon dioxide.
  5. cellular respiration uses oxygen, where else, photosynthesis releases oxygen.
  6. cellular respiration occurs all the time, where else photosynthesis occurs only in the presence of light.
  7. cellular respiration releases energy during the break down of food, where else, photosynthesis absorbs light energy to make food.
73
Q

where does cellular respiration take place?

A

takes place in mitochondria

74
Q

where does photosynthesis takes place?

A

takes place in chloroplasts.

75
Q

definition of homeostasis

A

process of regulating the internal environment of the body to be in a balanced and stable condition

76
Q

when does homeostasis occurs in the body?

A

when the internal environment of an organism changes

77
Q

what temperature must our body maintain constantly?

A

37 degree Celsius

78
Q

what will happen if extra 6 degree Celsius will do to the body?

A

affect the functions of body cells and this can cause death

79
Q

what systems are involved in the regulation of water content?

A

excretory system and endocrine system.

80
Q

what pulse rate is considered as normal?

A

60 to 90

81
Q

how does plant lose water to the surrounding?

A

transpiration process

82
Q

what is transpiration?

A

process of losing water from the surface of plants leaves in form of water vapour to the atmosphere through stomata

83
Q

what is stoma?

A

stoma is a tiny pore on the surface of leaf and is used for gas exchange and absorption of water vapour

84
Q

when does stoma open?

A

during the day

85
Q

why does stoma open?

A

to allow gas exchange and releases water vapour

86
Q

wen does stoma closes?

A

during a very HOT day.

87
Q

why is stoma closed?

A

to reduce the water loss through transpiration. the leaf wilts under hot sun.

88
Q

why do we urinate often during a rainy day?

A

we do not sweat a lot on a rainy day. therefore, the excess water in the body will be removed from the body through urine.

89
Q

what is the corrective mechanism that will occur when our body temperature drops? explain.

A
  • blood vessels constrict
  • sweat less
  • hairs stand erect
  • skeletal muscles will contract and relax actively
  • hormones will be secreted to increase body metabolism
90
Q

why do dogs always tick out their tongue?

A

they allow saliva to evaporate from tongue to reduce body temperature.
