mock revision 1-5 Flashcards
vertebrates
mamals, birds, fish, anphibians, reptiles
Ribosomes
either free in cytoplasm or attached, follow DNA instructions, and make proteins by bonding amino acids
Monocots:
one cotyledon, parallel veins in leaves, scattered vascular bundles, soft fibrous roots (shallow, not one main one) and leaves in multiples of 3
Dicots
2 cotyledons, network of veins in leaves, circle of vascular bundles (can be seen as rings in tree trunks), hard tap roots (goes deep, main root of the plant) and leaves in multiples of 4 and 5.
Leave shapes
: serrate (goes up in angles), dentate (points go away from centre), double dentate (a teeth in each of the teeth), entire (all smooth)
Actual size=
image size/ magnification
Chloroplast
contains chlorophyll for photosynthesis
Cytoplasm
contains 70% water and has sugar and salt
Vacuole
helps cell stay ridged, store substances and break down waste
Fungi kingdom
absorb food (saprotrophs, has nucleus,
cell wall
multi cell or uni cell
repuroduce with spores
Protoctista kingdom-
have nucleus, single/multicellular, are heterotrophs, autotrophs and saprotrophs
Prokaryotes
no nucleus, single/multicellular, bacteria (has cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, DNA)
Binomial system:
first part is genus, 2nd part is species (Homo sapiens) capital than lowercase, in handwriting underline
Palisade mesophyll cells
has chloroplast in leaves, box shape to absorb lots of light
ciliated epithelial cell;
moves mucus in trachea and bronchi, and zygote in fallopian tubes
Red blood cell:
large surface area, has haemoglobins (has o2), concave shape
osmosis
movement of water across a cell membrane, can move in and out (wilting plants)
stages for plants wilting
Turgid plant cells; stiff, hydrates. Flaccid: not stiff. Plasmolysis cells: vacuole shrinks, cytoplasm pulls away from cell wall
Water potential:
how freely water can move, the more things dissolved in it the less water potential since it has bonded with water particles
active transport
against the concentration gradient, requires energy from respiration, Carier proteins in cell membrane pick up substances and pass them through
Carbohydrates
carbon, hydrogen and o2, glucose, usually ones we eat have 2 simple sugars joined together. Cellulose, starch and glycogen are made of many glucose, energy
Fats and oils (lipids
c h o. Fats (tend to be from animals) are solid at room temperature, but very similar to oil (tend to be from plants). Structure is a glycerol connected to three fatty acids (which determine if it is solid of liquid, or healthy or unhealthy). builds back cell membranes, gives energy, protective layer for organs. Saturated acids are not as healthy as unsaturated ones
proteins
o2, c, h and nitrogen, and a little amount of sulphur and selenium. Proteins are large molecules made up of smaller amino acids
DNA
2 strands in double helix shape, has a sugar phosphate backbone (making the coil) and nitrogen containing bases (the AT and CG)
