Q

adaptatios of stomach

A

bolus gets soaked in hydrochloric acid which kills bacteria and provides optimum ph for enzymes to work

walls secrete mucus to protect the stomach lining from HCL, enzymes to break down food molecules and acids to provide optimum ph for enzymes to work

muscles of stomach contract to churn food and so food mixes with gastric juices. also performs peristalsis to cause movement of food to small int

job enzymes in digestion
break down long molecultes which cant be absorbed into useful smaller moleuctles which can be abosrped easily
13
intestines adaptions
wlls of small int have finger like projections called villi. are very thin, increae surface area of intestine. they have microvilli which further increase SA. increase SA means more places for diffusion wals one cell thick - short diffusion pathway to blood netowrk of cappilies ensures good blood supply - concentration gradient maintained - levels of food molecules in small int always higher than in blood so diffusion rapid.
13
anus job
muscular ring which excretes feces
14
amylase
starch to simple sugars made in salivary glands, pancreas, small int
15
protease
protein into amino acids made in stomach, pancreas, small int
15
lipase
lipids to fatty acids and glycerol made in pancreas, small int
16
test for starch
iodine solution turns from orange brown to blue/black if starch present otherwise no change
16
gastric juices
thin clear colourless acid fluid secreted by stomahc glands include HCL, lipase and pepsin
17
teest for protein
biuret reagent from blue to purple if protein present
17
test for sugar
beendict solution - blue colour turns from blue to orange/red green or yellow if sugar present
17
test for lipids
ethanol from colourless to cloudy
18
what is active site
part of enzye that matches the substrate
18
what r catalysts
subtances that increase rate of chemical reaction without being used up
19
why r enzymes speicfic
each enzyme active site suitable for 1 type of subrtate - lok and key mdel
20
what r enzymes made of
enzymes are biological catalysts made of amino acids, which r joined together in long chain and folded to make 3d structure
21
what do enzymes do
put molecules together or break em apart specific enzyme for every reaction needed to make celll work properly
21
why enzmes specficf
only substrates w/ complementary shape to acive site can bind to enzyme and react
21
stage 2 lock key model
substrate w/ complementary shape binds to enzme fit like key to a lock
21
stage 1 lock and key model
enzyme looking 4 complementary substrate sustrates with not complementary shape cant bind to acive site
21
stage 3 lock key model
enzyme makes reaction happen much more easily and reactant breaks down to products
22
stage 4 lock key model
products released frm active site enzyme repeats process
22
describe what enzymes are and explain how they break down molecules using lock and key mechanism (6 marks)
enzymes r biological catalysts they increase rate of reaction each enzyme has different shape and work at different conditions witihn the shape is an indentation - the active site only 1 type substrate fits into active site if hape of enzyme changes, acive site no longer work and enzye has denatured
23
why do enzyems (and catalysts as a whole) speed up reactions
redue activaiton nrg
23
if ph or temp too low in a reaction describe reaction
if too low particles dont have much NRG so collisions between particles have less pwr so less chance of reaction occuring
23
what if temp and ph to high 4 enzyme
enzyme denatures
24
factors affecting enzymes and rate of reaaction
temp, ph, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, surface area, pressure
24
which ph level and temp do amylase, lipase and protease best work at
all work best at normal body temp - 37-38 degrees amylase works at 7ph - neutral ph - so mouth is neutral ph protease work best in ph less that 7 (e.g 2) so works best in stomach which is acidic lipase works in small int where there is alkali ph
25
Gall stones
gall stones can form blocking gall bladder and bile ducts, due to imbalance of cholesterol in bile can cuase pain and hinde ridgestion
25
red blood cells (RBC) job
carry oxygen in blood, taking it from lngs to tissues
25
RBC adapations mention all in the 6mrk question
biconcave shape - higher SA, meaning can absorb o2 easier no nucleus - more space for haemoglobin have haemoglobin - binds with o2 to form oxyhaemoglobin. diameter bigger than diameter ofcapillary so it slows down so diffusion of o2 can happen over long period of time also is flexible so it can enter capillary
26
job white blood cells
WBCs help defend body from attack
26
job phagocytes - adaptions
kill harmful microgorganisms very flexible so they can engulf microgoraganisms produce digestive enzymes which kill microgorangisms
26
job lymphoctes - adpations
produce antibodies which kill microgoranisms or cause them to clump together, making it easier for phagocytes to engluf them also produce antitoxins whch destory toxins made from bacteria
27
platelets job and adaptions
small fragments of cells no nlucleus suspended in lbood plasma job: help blood clot at wound, form scabs this is to reduce blood loss and prevent micorganisms entering blood via wond
27
plasma
straw coloured liquid - mosly water all blood cells suspended in plasma since is a liquid, some substances can dissolve in it like co2 or glucose transports RBCs, WBCs, platelets, waste products (urea, co2), nutriets (glucose)
27
HOW TO know if a picutre of microorganism was taken by electron mictoscope
black and white img in 3D
28
3 ypes blood vessel
artery vein capillary
29
arteries
carry blood at high pressure away from heart have thick outer wall, thick inner layer of muscle and elastic fibres with narro central lumen to withstand the pressure
29
veins
veins carry blood at low pressure have thin outer wall, thin inner layer of muscle and elastic fibres and wide central lumen this is because they dont need to have blod flowing quickly at high pressure they have valves to prevent backflow
29
valves
prevent backflow by closing when blood flows through it blood pushes past valves which open in only 1 direction
30
how are blood vessels arragned
in double circulatory system
30
dbl circulatory system
one system trapnsports blood from heart to lungs and back other one transports blood from heart to body tissues then back
31
pulmonary circulation
carries deoxy blood from heart to lungs then back
32
systemic circulation
carries oxy blood to from heart to tissues then back
32
adpations capillaries
one cell thick wall - short diffusion distance diameter smaller than rbc diameter permeable membrane allows for diffusion
32
heart
muscular organ pumping blood around body through repeated contractions
32
why we need blood circulation
for transport of nutrients to fight disease to help stabilse body temps
32
heart walls
thicker on left side - more cells for more mitochondira to provide NRG for contractions oxygen and glucose needed for respiration 4 nrg comes from coronary arteries
33
cronary artey and vein
cornary atery takes oxy blood to heart muscle coronary vein takes deoxy blood from heart muscle to heart
33
septum
wall splitting left and right chambers of heart to prevent mixing of blood
33
thombrosis
when cholestrol sticks to coronary artery it reduces blood flow and can cause blood to clot - thombrosis reduced flow of blood to heart muscle = chest pain, heart attack or death
33
statin
common drugs for over 50s. reduces LDL cholestrol so slows down fatty desposit build up rate
33
stent
metal mesh placed in artery. tiny balloon used to open it, and blood vessel at same time baloon removed and stent reamins, blood vessel kept open
34
bypass surgery
doctors can use parts of vein from other parts of body to replace blocked artery wrks well for badly blocked arteries, but xpensive and involes risk associated w/ general anaesateitc
34
avantge stent
straightforward no need for gen anaestsia
34
disavantage stent
only used for partially blocked coronary artiery, not badly blockeld ones
34
avantage bypass surgery
used on artieries w/ more severe blocks
34
disavantge bypas surgery
expensive risk with gen anaestetic portions of vein must be removed form other parts of body
35
leaky valves
heart valves must withstand lots of pressure, over time they may leak n become stiff and not fully open, making heart less efficient
35
pacemaker
natural pacemenaker - group of ccells found in riht atrium serious problems if no work properly
35
artificila pacemaker
elec device implanted in chest - sends strong elec signals to heart to stimulate it to worrk properly
35
artificial heart
mechanical device attached to heart, uses air pressue to pump blood around body
36
avantage artifical pacemaker
stabilises heart beat can stimulate faster heart rate dring exercise
36
disavantage artificial pacemaker
risk of blood clotting and infection need medical checks for restof your life
36
avantage atifical heart
can use it while waiting for heart transplant
36
disavantage artifical heart
expensive
36
where are lungs
in the thorax protected by the ribcage seperated from digestive organs by diapragm - strong sheet of muscle
36
how r lungs ventilated
contraction and relaxation of intercostal muscles
36
adaptations alveoli
Spherical shaped - increased surface area so more places for diffusion Well ventilated - constant supply of o2 and co2 quickly removed thin walls - one cell thich walls for short diffusion distance good blood supply - constant supply of deoxy blood, conc grad. maintained moist lining - prevents alveolus from cracking and dying, and allows o2 to dissolve in it before diffusing
36
flower what is it
repordocutive organ of plant
36
whats stem
contains xyel mand phloem
37
whats leaf
site of photosynthesis
37
whats roots
site of absorption of water and mineral ions from soil
37
plant tissues
epidermal tissue - cover the plant palisade mesophyll - where photosynthesis takes place spongy mesophyll - has air spaces for diffusion of gases xylem - where water is transported from root to leaf phloem - where nutrients transorted to leaf and other parts of body meristem tissue - at tips of roots n shoots, have stems cells
38
adpation leaf
broad and flat to capture lots of sunlight have xylem and phloem which transport nutrients to the leaf and to other parts of plant (xyelm bringgg h20 for photosynthesis) have lots of chloroplasts with chlorophyll so it can abosrb light have stomata on underside so gases can diffuse in and out
39
palisade cell function and adatpion
job: site of photosynthesis have lots of choloroplasts so lots of photosynthesis can take palce block shaped so they can be packed together in leaf
40
spongy mespophyll function and adaption
job: allows gases to get to palisade mesophyll cell or leave the cell not packed tightly together - air spaces between them
41
guard cell and stomata function and adaption
job: stoma - lets gases enter or exit guard cell - controls openning and closing of stoma stoma are at the bottom of leaf to limit water loss as it is shaded
42
waxy cuticle adaption and function
job: prevent water loss from surface of plant it is waxy and thin
43
structure of leaf (top to bottom)
way cuticle upper epidermis palisade mesophyll cell bundle sheath cell vein xyelm phloem spongy mesophyll cells lower eidermis guard cell stoma axy cuticle
44
xylem and phloem function
job: xyelm - moves water and mineral ions from roots to leaf phloem - moves sugars and amino acids around the plant
45
guard cells and stomata
when light intensity high, guard cells swell and chang eshape, so stomata opens and co2 enters, while o2 and h2o leave. when hot conditions, guard cells close to reduce water loss. but now plant cant photosynthesise at night, stomata close so no more photosynthesis
46
how are ions obtained n transported through plant
ions taken up by diffusion or active transport from area of high conc. to low conc. (vice versa for active transport.). they travel up the plant in the xylem from roots to leaves in 1 direction only
47
how water obtained n trnasported thru plant
water taken upby osmosis from high conc. to low conc. water travels up in the xylem from roots to leaves and is pulled up thru transpiration stream
48
how sugar obained n transported
sugar made in leaves in photosynthesis and travel in phloem to other parts of plant 4 use in resiration or to be stored
49
def transpiration
evaporation of water from the leaves
50
transpiration stream
when h2o leaves the leaf, h2o in the xylem diffuses into the leaf to replace the water that has been lost. the water molecule at the top of the chain drags the water molecules beneath up as well, while simultaneously, water diffuses into the root hair cell. this is the transpiration stream.
51
importance of transpiration
brings water into the leaf which is used for photosynthesis it also brings dissolved mineral ions for use it also cools down the plant, which is especially helpful in warm weather
52
factors affecting transpiration
temp - transpiration increases as temp increase as evaporaion is faster at high temps dry conditions - transpir. increases as in dry conditions evaporation is faster windy conditions - rate increases as conc. gradient is made steeper as water molecules outside leaf blown away light intensity - rate increases because rate of photosynthesis increases so more water lost and gained same tme
53
phloem adaptation
have sieve tube cells (have no nuclues) which the sugars and amino acids can diffuse through companion cells proide nrg for active transport needd for this diffusion flow of sugars and amino acids bidirectional, UP AND DOWN
54
xylem adaptation
made up of dead cells forming continuous long hollow tube. strengthened by lignin flow of water and mineral ions one direction only, UP
55
translocation
transport of dissolved material within a plant
56
left lung
left superior lobe left inferior lobe bronchial tree no middle lobe so there is space for the heart
57
right lung
right superior lobe right middle lobe rigt inferior lobe bronchial tree
58
breathing in
intercostal muscles contract ribs moveup and out diaphragm muscles contract diaphragm lowers vol of chest incres pressure in chest decres air pressure in lung lower than atmospheric pressure air rushes in lungs
59
breathing out
intercostal muscle relax ribs move down diaphragm muscle relaes diaphragm rises vol of chest decres pressure in chest incres air pressure in chest higher than in amosphere air rushes out of lungs
60
why do we chew food
chewing is done to break down food into smaller pieces with a larger surface area. this is so enzymes can work better on them
61
job of bile
emulsify lipids and form 'droplets', which have bigger surface area also neutralises hydrocloric acid from the stomach
