Q

Function of the mouth

A

The teeth breakdown the food into smaller pieces.
The salivary glands make saliva which is added to the food.
It helps make the food moist and easy to swallow.
The saliva contains an enzyme which breaks down starch into glucose (sugar)

Q

Function of esophagus

A

Food is moved through the oesophagus by peristalsis to the stomach

Peristalsis= This is the process where muscles behind the food contract to push it along.

Q

Function of a placenta

A

The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy.
It provides oxygen and nutrients for the baby to grow and removes waste products from your baby’s blood.
The placenta attaches to the wall of your uterus, and your baby’s umbilical cord arises from it.

Q

Why does day and night

A

If the axis wasn’t tilted, we wouldn’t have 12 hours of day and night

69
Q

Earth’s rotation

A

The Earth rotates from East to West (anticlockwise).

70
Q

Axial tilt

A

23.5

71
Q

How does season work?

A

Seasons occur because of the tilt of the Earth. When the part of the Earth you live on is tilted towards the sun, it is Summer and if you are tilted away from the sun, it is winter.

72
Q

Distance from the sun

A

The temperature of a planet is determined by how much energy they receive from the sun

73
Q

Atmosphere

A

Atmosphere= This system relates to meteorological features and phenomena such as weather, clouds, or aerosols (particles in the air).

74
Q

Biosphere

A

Biosphere= This system is associated with living systems such as biomes or ecosystems.

75
Q

Hydrosphere

A

Hydrosphere= This system is associated with water in solid (ice) and liquid states.

76
Q

Litho/Geosphere

A

Litho/Geosphere= This system is associated with solid portions of the Earth.

77
Q

Our planet is divided up into big slabs of rock called PLATES.

78
Q

Mantle

A

The layer of molten rock on which the crust floats

79
Q

Constellation

A

A group of stars forming a recognizable pattern that is traditionally named after its apparent form or identified with a mythological figure.

82
Q

83
Q

Order of planets

A

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune

84
Q

Why did the continent drift

A

Convection currents
The convection currents in the liquid mantle generated by heart from deep inside the core cause the earth’s plates to move.

85
Q

What causes volcanoes and earthquakes

A

Plate tectonics causes the plates to move around creating these hazards.

86
Q

Difference between inner core and outer core

A

Inner core is solid and outer core is liquid

87
Q

Effects the intestines

91
Q

What are the two ways of gaining immunity through vaccines?

A

Passive immunity: antibodies produced outside of the body (e.g. tablets or pills) and given to us.
Adaptive immunity: Antibodies made by the body.

92
Q

How do vaccines work?

A

Injects a weakened/dead version of the virus it is protecting against. The body learns how to fend off said virus so that a stronger version (the normal virus) can be taken care of much more efficiently.

93
Q

What chemical is used to test for starch? Also mention the change the chemical incurs.

A

Iodine (used on starch in a spotting tile) will turn bluish-black when used on any form of starch.

94
Q

What chemical is used to test for glucose? Also mention the change the chemical incurs.

A

Adding 2cm of Benedict’s solution/copper sulphate to liquid food, the normally blue Benedict’s solution becomes brick-red/brownish orange.

95
Q

What chemical is used to test for protein? Also mention the change the chemical incurs.

A

Adding water and an equal volume of sodium hydroxide to mushed-up food, along with a few drops of copper sulphate, will make a purple colour in reaction to protein.

96
Q

What chemical is used to test for fats/lipids? Also mention the change the chemical incurs.

A

Adding 1cm of ethanol with food in a test tube, then pouring mixture into another test tube with water, will create a white emulsion in reaction to the presence of fats/lipids.

97
Q

Explain what causes each of these:

a.) Days

b.) Years

c.) Seasons

A

2.) Explain what causes each of these:

a.) Days
The Earth rotating on its axis (note, orbiting would be wrong here as orbiting is around another object.)

b.) Years
The Earth orbiting the Sun

c.) Seasons
Earth’s tilted axis. When Earth spins, it causes it so that each quarter of the year the sun’s rays are more or less intense depending on the season. If it wasn’t for the Earth’s axis being tilted, it would just be the same season everywhere, just different temperatures. Similarly, if Earth had an extreme tilt then the seasons would also be much more extreme.

98
Q

What is continental drift?

A

Continental drift is the theory that all the continents used to be merged into one supercontinent known as Pangaea, but then slowly split apart to make the continents we know today.

99
Q

What is continental drift?

A

Continental drift is the theory that all the continents used to be merged into one supercontinent known as Pangaea, but then slowly split apart to make the continents we know today.

100
Q

Give one proof that supported Wegener’s theory of continental drift.

A

You can see that some continents (like South America and Africa) have similar borders, which makes them look connected, and more importantly they share the same fossils of some plants or non-flying mammals. This meant that they had to be connected originally so that plants and animals could have crossed from one continent to another, then split due to continental drift.
