25
Platelets
responsible for clotting
26
Arteries
Wall made of smooth muscle fibres
27
Vasoconstriction
Narrowing of blood vessels due to a contraction of muscles in the blood vessels.
28
Veins
dont have muscle. change diameter like arteries. Low blood pressure. have valves.
29
Transport of oxygen
Heamoglobin combines with oxygen to form oxyhemoglobin. | Loose combination as can easily break down to release oxygen.
30
transport of carbon dioxide
Combines with global part of haemoglobin to form carbonhaemoglobin.
31
Inorganic ions
sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, and iodide.
32
Organic molecules
glucose, vitamins, amino and fatty acids
33
Organic waste
urea, creatinine and uric acid.
34
Extracellular fluid
fluid found outside the cell
35
Systemic circulation
blood travels from heart to body cells and back to heart.
36
Pulmonary circulation
blood travels from heart to lungs and back to heart
37
Lymphatic system
collect fluid that escapes from capillaries and return them into circulatory system, and fights pathogens.
38
Lymph vessel
blood leaks out of artery end of capillary because high pressure, returns to the venous end of capillary.
39
Lymph
fluid returned to blood stream through lymphatic system.
40
Lymph nodes
found in neck, armpit, groin, alimentary canal. | Lympnoid tissues contains, lymphocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells.
41
ion
Atom with a charge
42
anion
Ion with a negative charge
43
cation
Ion with a positive charge
44
Ionic compounds
made up of cations and anions. Opposite charges are electrostaticaly attracted together. charges must be balanced, for neutral charge.
45
Polyatomic charges
ions that have more than one atom. Atoms are strongly bonded together in covalent bond
46
Covalent bond
sharing valence electrons
47
Ionic bonds
ions transfer valence electrons to other ions, this creates difference in charge and bonds. Structure of ionic compound is repeating ions in fixed lattice. lattice is rigid but bonds are strong.
48
Aqueous solution
when a substance has been dissolved in water
49
Precipitate
solid that appears in a reaction
50
Mole
way to count molecules, word to represent number. | 6.022 x 10 to power of 23
51
n
Moles
52
m
Mass
53
M
Molar Mass
54
doppler effect
Observed change in frequency of a wave when the wave source and observer are moving in relation to each other.
55
frequency
Number of waves passing a single location in one second
56
hubble’s law
The further away a galaxy is, the greater its red shift and so the faster it is moving away from us
57
how stars are made
Density of amount of dust in space creates gravity and begins to collapse on itself. this is called a nebulae
58
Protostar
denser cloud after nebulae
59
Nuclear fusion
when atomic nuclei become joined together. | Forms helium
60
red giants
When sun expands 200 or 300 times original size and cools down
61
white dwarfs
Small sun about 12000’C Size of earth cools off and disappears
62
Constellation
grouped stars that resemble shape or object.
63
Newtons second law of motion
mass of an object affects the way that it moves when acted upon by one or more forces
64
Newtons third law of motion
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
65
Biosphere
life support system of our planet. | Consists of atmosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere and biota.
66
atmosphere
Made of troposphere and stratosphere. stratosphere is 50km Troposphere is 17km
67
hydrosphere
Waters of planet make it up
68
lithosphere
Earth’s rocky crust. | igneous sedimentary and metamorphic rocks made here
69
Biodiversity
variation in the many different communities and their environments
70
Species diversity
number of species within an ecosystem
71
Mutation
change in genetic code inside the DNA
72
Genetic drift
changes due to chance events
73
Natural selection
strongest genetics survive.
