differentiate between animal and plant cells
both have cell membranes, cytoplasm, mitochondria and a nucleus.
animal cells do not have a cell wall, vacuoles, or chloroplasts
function of cytoplasm
chemical reactions take place
function of cell membrane
controls what goes in and out of a cell
function of nucleus
contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell
function of mitochondria
respiration occurs
function of cell wall
strengthens the cell and provides support
function of vacuole
stores substances and manages waste
function of chloroplast
photosynthesis takes place
what is aerobic respiration and its formula
aerobic respiration is a biological process in which food glucose turns into energy in the presence of oxygen
glucose + oxygen –> carbon dioxide + water
what are enzymes
enzymes are biological catalysts: proteins that speed up the chemical reaction and aids in digestion. Enzymes break down big particles into smaller particles.
what are the three main enzymes used in our digestion process
-carbohydrase or amylase
-protease
-lipase
what is the relation between enzymes in commercial baby food.
Babies can have a hard time digesting high protein foods, so enzymes are added to their food to aid in digestion by turning the proteins into amino acids.
describe a muscle tissue
- a muscle is a contractile tissue that brings about movement
-it has the special ability to relax and contract to produce movement
-muscle tissue is highly cellular and is well supplied with blood vessels
-
name the organs involved in digestion and their functions
teeth, salivary glands, oesophagus, stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum/anus
what are the four chambers of the human heart and their functions
the upper two, the right atrium and left ventricle receive incoming blood
the lower two, the left atrium and right ventricle pump the blood out of the heart
