Q

What experiment can you do to show differences in net gas exchange in plants?

A
  • add the same volume of hydrogen carbonate indicator to four boiling tubes, add a leaf to three of them and seal with a bung. Keep the fourth tube empty as a control
  • wrap one tube in foil and one in gauze and place the tubes in bright light
  • leave the tubes for an hour and check the colour of the indicator

Q

Where does ultrafiltration happen?

A

Blood in the glomerulus is under high pressure and forces substances out of the blood into the bowman’s capsule

25
Where is glucose reabsorbed?
Proximal convoluted tubule
26
Where is urea reabsorbed?
It’s not
27
How does reabsorption of glucose happen?
By active transport
28
How is water reabsorbed?
Ósmosis
29
What is osmoregulation?
The process of maintaining water and salt concentrations across membranes in the body
30
What is the filtrate?
The substances forced out of the blood
31
Why can selective reabsorption of glucose only take place in the proximal convoluted tubule?
The gates that facilitate the active transport of glucose are only found in the pct
32
What does ADH do?c
Controls water content in the body by increasing the permeability of the kidney tubules to water
33
What does FSH do?
Causes an egg to mature on an ovary and stimulates the ovaries to produce oestrogen
34
What does Lh do?
Stimulates the release of an egg from an ovary
35
What are the monomers of DNA called?
Nucleotides
36
What are the parts of a nucleotide?
A phosphate, a sugar and a base
37
What are the different bases in DNA?
Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine
38
What does adenine pair with on DNA?
Thymine
39
What does cytosine pair with in DNA?
Guanine
40
What is the genetic code?
The sequence of bases
41
What is a set of three bases known as?
A codon or triplet?
42
What does each codon code for?
A single amino acid
43
What is the chain of amino acids known as?
A polypeptide
44
What are the two steps involved in protein synthesis?
Translation and transcription
45
What is transcription (basic)?
The process of taking a single gene and copying it into mRNA
46
What is transcription (basic)?
The process of taking the mRNA and using it to make a protein
47
Why do we need to make a copy of the gene to make a protein?
Because the DNA is too big to leave the nucleus
48
Why does making a copy of the gene work?
Because it’s only a gene not the whole DNA so the copy is small enough to leave the nucleusn
49
What does mRNA stand for?
messenger RNA
50
What are the differences between mRNA and DNA?
mRNA is shorter than DNA, mRNA is only a single strand and it contains uracil instead of thymine
51
How is a gene copied to form mRNA?
RNA polymerase binds to a region of non coding DNA in front of a gene The two strands of DNA unzip and the RNA polymerase moves along one of the strands It uses the coding DNA in the gene as a template to make the complementary mRNA The mRNA moves out of the nucleus and joins with a ribosome in the cytoplasm
52
What is DNA?
Two strands coiled to form a double helix linked by a series of complementary paired bases
53
What is translation?
Amino acids are brought to the ribosome by tRNA the order the acids are brought matches the order of codons in the mRNA the tRNA has an anti-codon which is complementary to the codon for the amino acid - this means the amino acids are brought to the ribosome in the right order The amino acids are joined together by the ribosome and the tRNA leaves The chain of amino acids fold together to form a protein
54
What does a vaccine contain?
Small amounts of dead pathogens
55
How do vaccines work?
They expose us to the antigens of a pathogen so we can build natural immunity
56
What parts of the carbon cycle remove carbon dioxide from the air?
Photosynthesis
57
What processes in the carbon cycle release carbon dioxide into the air?
Combustion, decomposition, respiration
58
Why do farmers use polythene tunnels?
You can control the light intensity co2 levels and temperature in them to increase crop yield and they’re cheaper than greenhouses
59
Why do plants need nitrates?
To make proteins so they can grow
60
Why do plants need phosphates?
To make DNA and cell membranes, stunts root growth without it
61
Why do plants need potassium?
It’s needed to make the enzymes required for photosynthesis and respiration, leaves go yellow without it
62
What must be controlled in fish farming?
Disease, water quality, predation and feeding
63
What type of predation involves the farmed fish eating each other?
Intraspecific
64
What type of predation involves other animals eating the fish?
Interspecific predation
65
What are the products of anaerobic respiration in yeast?
CO2 and ethanol
