mock revision 6-8 Flashcards
glucoes is unstble so turns into ……. to be transported in phloem. then to …… and then ….. for storage
sucroes
glucoes
starch
glucoes is used for
cellulose in cell walls and for nectar
……is vital for chlorophyll
magnesium, there is a mg in the center of each one
plants will use nitrate for making
amino acids
Waxy cuticle
Prevents evaporation of h2o
Palisade tissue
Has chloroplast
Upper and lower epidermis
Protects inner layers of leaf
Mesophyll layers
The middle layers with palisade mesophyll (packed closely together) and spongy mesophyll (packed loosely together) so co2 can get to palisade and o2 can leave
Stomata
Cells with holes and guard cells controlling the opening and closing, control diffusion of co2 and o2
Vascular bundles go through
Go through mesophyll and carry water and food from the leaf
Top 7 nutrients:
Carbohydrates: supply energy
Fats: supplies energy
Proteins: growth and repair (only one which don’t get digested in mouth or stomach)
Vitamins: C- helps wound healing, keeps healthy blood vessels, skin, cartilage and bones.
D- regulates calcium and phosphate, healthy bones and muscles.
Mineral ions: Calcium- strengthens bones and teeth, helps with muscle contractions and clotting of wounds. Iron- produces haemoglobin for red blood cells
Fiber: helps digestion and moving on faeces in gut
Water: needed for everything
Gall bladder:
helps digest fats, stores bile liver produces
Vitamin D (oily fish) deficiency-
rickets- bone pain, weak muscles, skeletal deformities, bending of legs
Vitamin C (fruit) deficiency-
scurvy- joint pain, tiredness, bleeding gums, bruise easily
Ingestion
is taking in substances from mouth
Digestion
is breaking down food into nutrients
absorption
is the movement of small food molecules and ions through small intestine wall into blood
Assimilation
is movement of digested food into cells where they are needed
Egestion
is passing out unused food
Alimentary canal
= mouth, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine (absorb nutrients) (duodenum, ileum), large intestine (absorb water and salts) (colon, rectum), anus
Pancreas
produces pancreatic juice which helps in chemical digestion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins, it is alkali which helps neutralise food leaving stomach
the teeth:
Incisors- sharp, biting an apple
Canines- pointed, tearing off meat
Premolars- tearing and grinding
Molars- grinding, crushing
the teeth parts
Enamel- hard outer white layer
Dentine- most of the teeth is made of this
Pulp- contains blood vessels and nerves, centre of tooth
Nerves- bottom of tooth, so you know how hard you are biting
Cement- attaches tooth to jaw
Digestive enzymes-
Amylase- breaks down starch into simple sugars called maltose in SI and mouth
Protease- pepsin found in stomach, and trypsin found in SI, break proteins into amino acids
Lipase- breaks down fats to fatty acids and breaks down glycerol. Secreted in pancreas, lots in SI
Gastric juice is secreted in stomach and contains hydrochloric acid (PH of 1.5-3.5), produces enzymes and kills bacteria from food
