Q

Prokaryote vs Eukaryote

A

➔ PROKARYOTIC CELLS :

  • Are more simple, and do not have membrane bound organelles
  • No nucleus
  • Bacteria
  • Only unicellular

➔ EUKARYOTIC CELLS:

  • Are more complex and contain an array of membrane bound organelles
  • Membrane bound nucleus
  • Paired chromosomes
  • Could be single celled or multi celled

Q

5 biomaxrmolecule

A

Protein

Lipids

22
Q

Photosynthesis

A

Process which olatsnyse energy in sunlight to synthesis glucose from carbon dioxide and water

Carbon dioxide and water -> glucose and oxygen

23
Q

Light dependent stage

A

Directly requires light

In grana

24
Q

Light Independence Day

A

Aka Calvin cycle
In Stroma
Does not directly require light

25
Cellular respiration
Glucose and oxygen -> carbon dioxide water and ATP
26
Enzyme
Protein that acts as a catalyst | Speeding up a chemical reaction while remaining unchanged
27
Activation energy
Minimum enegery required to start a chemical reaction
28
Optimal temperature
Temperature which an enzymes works fastest
29
Dénaturation
An enzyme is denatured if it's shape is permanently changed
30
pH
Measure of acid to base | 7 is neutral
31
Cofactors
Substance other than a substrate which fits into the active site and is necessary for the activity of an enzyme
32
Coenzyme
Organic cofactors
33
Inhibitor
Substance that bunds to an enzyme and decrease its activity
34
Competitive inhibitor
Substance that binds to the active site of an enzyme and prevents the entry of a substrate
35
Substrate
Molecule which an enzyme works
36
System order
``` Cells Tissues Organs Organ ststem Organism ```
37

``` Upper epidermis Lower epidermis Mesopgyl Stoma Guard cells Xylem Phloem ```
38
Dactylozooids
Zooids that attach to prey and secrete various digestive system
39
Gonozooids
Each one consists of male and female reproductive bodies
40
Gastrozooids
A trailing tentacle that has specialised stinging cells to assist in trapping
41
Pneumatophore
An air-filled bladder that helps the blue bottle float
42
Unicellular organism
Eukaryotic / Prokaryotic Complete living entity consisting of just one cell. Its survival is not dependent upon other cells. - May divide into two parts, each part unicellular and independent
43
Colonial organism
Collection of Unicellular Organisms living together. - Difference to a multicellular organism is that if separated, the individual one celled organisms can survive on their own.
44
Multicellular organism
Organisms that are made up of more than one cell. - Consist of specialised cells that perform different tasks within the organism. - All the parts are required for the organism to survive and individual cells cannot survive alone.
45
Specialisation
Carries out a specific job to benefit the whole organism
46
Differentiation
Cells are instructed by genetic information to change their structure, they are differentiated from their original form
47
Autotrophic Nutrition
Autotrophs are living things that can supply their own food and organic molecules. - Can be photoautotrophs using carbon dioxide and sunlights for energy in photosynthesis - Chemoautotrophs using carbon dioxide as the source of carbon and energy from oxidising inorganic substances.
48
Heterotrophic Nutrition
Heterotrophs are organisms that depend on other organisms as sources of food and can be unicellular Multicellular heterotrophs need to be able to find and catch other organisms to consume energy.
49
Xylem
transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from roots to various parts of the plant. It is responsible for replacing water lost through transpiration and photosynthesis.
50
Phloem
Phloem translocates sugars made by photosynthetic areas of plants to storage organs like roots, tubers or bulbs.
