Q

Plant classification - ferns

A

Ferns - They have proper roots and stems, and leaf-like fronds. The leaves are not covered in a waterproof, waxy cuticle layer and so they dry out easily and are generally found in damp places. They do have a
vascular system. They reproduce using spores.

35
Q

Cell wall - plants only

A
  • helps to maintain cell structure and provide support for the cell
36
Q

Vacuole

A
  • plant cells have large, central vacuole
  • animals cells have very small or absent vacuoles
  • important for storage of compounds
  • maintains turgid (plumpness)
37
Q

A
  • sacs containing enzymes that can break down parts of the cell
38
Q

Ribosomes

A
  • site of protein synthesis- make protein
39
Q

Endoplasmic reticulum ER

A

Smooth er - no ribosomes, makes lipids (fats)

Rough er - has ribosomes, makes secretory proteins

40
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Made up of 2 parts - organelles and cytosol

41
Q

Ciliated cells

A
  • Found in lungs
  • Cilia is a special organelle that helps to move mucus through airways
42
Q

Root hair cell

A
  • found on the surface of roots
  • finger like projections stick out from cell to increase surface area
  • higher SA - faster osmosis and diffusion of minerals in to the plant
43
Q

Palisade mesophyll cell

A
  • found in top section of leaves
  • contain loads of chloroplast
  • most chloroplast = higher potential rate of photosynthesis
  • thin cell wall to allow light through
  • vacuole pushes chloroplasts to the edge of cell for more light exposure
44
Q

Neurons

A

Sending signals between nerve signals is relatively slow
- neurons are long to make nerve signaling faster

45
Q

Red blood cells

A
  • Carries oxygen in the blood
  • Biconcave shape – increases
    the surface area, therefore
    increasing the rate oxygen can
    diffuse in to them and allows
    them to fit through small
    capillaries
  • Contains lots of hemoglobin– a
    protein that binds oxygen
  • No organelles to make space
    for more hemoglobin
46
Q

Sperm cell

A
  • Sperm cell has a flagella to swim from the vagina to fallopian tube
  • Sperm head shape optimised for penetrating egg
47
Q

Cells tissue organs and organ systems

A
  • A group of cells with a similar structure and function is called a tissue
  • A group of different tissues with related functions are called an organ
  • A group of organs with related functions are called an organ system
48
Q

1mm (millimeters) = 1000µm

A
49
Q

Calculating magnification

A

Object size = image size / magnification
Image size = object size x magnification
Magnification = image size / object size

50
Q

Diffusion

A

Diffusion as the net movement of particles from a region of the higher concentration to a region of the lower concentration requiring no energy to do so

51
Q

Factors that affect rate of diffusion - concentration gradient

A

Concentration gradient - the larger the concentration gradient the faster the rate of diffusion

52
Q

Factors that affect rate of diffusion temperature

A

More energy associated with the particle at high temperature means faster rate of diffusion

53
Q

Factors that affect rate of diffusion surface area

A

The large of the surface area in contact between the two regions the faster rate of the diffusion

54
Q

Factors that affect the rate of diffusion distance

A

The large distance the longer time to diffuse

55
Q

Why is diffusion important?

A
  • Getting raw materials for respiration or photosynthesis
  • Removing waste products
  • importing or exporting products e.g hormones and protein
56
Q

Define osmosis

A

Osmosis as the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential through a partially permeable membrane

57
Q

Solutes

A
  • solutes are substances that can be dissolved in the solvent (usually water)
  • Solute + solvent = solution
58
Q

Osmosis - turgor pressure

A
  • turgor pressure is the press within cells
  • more water inside the cell = higher turgor pressure
  • turgor pressure is important so that plants stay upright and have exposure to sunlight
59
Q

Hypertonic

A

A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher solute concentration than the cell

60
Q

Hypotonic

A

A hypotonic solution is one that has a lower solute concentration than the cell

61
Q

Isotonic

A

Solution has an equal concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell

62
Q

Plant cells in a hypertonic solution

A

When a plant cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, there is a net movement of water out of the cell causing reduction in turgor pressure and the cell membrane to peel back from the cell wall. This is also known as the cell becoming plasmolysed.

63
Q

Plant cells in hypotonic solution

A

If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there is a net movement of water into the cell causing an increase in turgor pressure and the cell to become turgid. The cell membrane pushes against the cell wall.

64
Q

Plants in isotonic solution

A

If a plant cell is placed into an isotonic solution there is no net movement of water causing the cell to stay the same.

65
Q

Define active transport

A

The movement of particles through a cell membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy from respiration

66
Q

Active transport

A
  • Uses ATP as an energy source
  • Involves carrier proteins in the cell membrane
  • Active transport requires a carrier protein in the plasma membrane
67
Q

Active transport and root hair cell

A

Plants need ions to survive e.g sodium potassium magnesium nitrate and phosphates
- ions are in a lower concentration in the soil then they are in the root hair cell therefore for the plant to get enough ions they are forced to use active transport to uptake more ions

68
Q
A
  • C6H12O6
    function
    -glucose used to produce energy from respiration
  • Plant produce sucrose, which is converted into glucose and use for respiration
69
Q

Starch, glycogen and cellulose

A

All three of these are made from chains of glucose
- Cellulose - plants used to make cell walls
- starch - plants used to store energy
- glycogen - animals used to store energy in liver

70
Q

Testing for reducing sugars and starch

A
  • Benedict solution - reducing sugar
    When heated it turns
    Blue ➡️ green➡️ yellow➡️ orange➡️ red
  • iodine
    It turned orange/brown ➡️ blue/black
71
Q

Fat structure

A
  • Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen
  • 3 fatty acid chains joined to one glycerol molecule
72
