Q

Organic molecules uses in cell activity

A

Lipids( fats- store of energy)
Proteins- growth and repair in the body
Nucleic acids- role in determining heredity
Carbohydrates- source of energy + broken down to glucose when every is needed

Q

Movement of molecules in and out of cells

A

Living cells are continuing exchanging materials with their external environment
Every cell is surrounded by a cell membrane
Cell membrane regulates the flow of substances in and out of the cell

Q

Leaf structure and function order

A

Cuticle- prevents water loss

Upper epidermis- prevents water loss and provides and extra layer between the outside & inside of leaf (holes at top)

Palisade cells- contain chloroplasts & responsible for producing food and oxygen for plant through photosynthesis  (row of holes in middle) 
Spongy mesophyll ( main part)

Q

Surface area to volume ratio- why could be bad

A

Area of the surface affects the rate at which nutrients can enter the cells and the rate waste can leave
As cells grow its needs are greater which isn’t good so it divides into two smaller cells

Q

Light microscopes
Adv
Dis

A

Stream of light that focuses through a lense through a specimen

  • living cells can be viewed
  • limited visible detail
17
Q

Autotrophs

A

Self feeding
They obtain their food by producing their own nutrients requirements by photosynthesis
Require carbon dioxide and water
Plant + some bacteria

18
Q

Heterotrophs

A

They obtain their food from their external environment
Require water proteins carbohydrates lipids
Animals

19
Q

Two main stages of photosynthesis

A

1 light stage
During the day
Occurs in cytoplasm of cells in leaves
Splits the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen

2 dark stage
Any time of day
Occurs in stroma or fluid matrix of chloroplasts

Stage 2 can’t occur without stage 1

20
Q

Functions of cecum

A

Aniston fluids and salts that remain after completion of intestinal digestion and to mix its contents with lubricating substance, mucus - herbivores and carnivores

21
Q

Fluid mosaic model

A

Membrane structure in cells
States that membranes are composed of a phospholipid bilayer with various protein molecule floating floating around within

22
Q

Herbivore and carnivore

A

Herbivores have 4 chambers of their stomachs as grass takes longer to digest

Carnivores have a less structured stomach as meat and bones takes less to digest and is more efficient

Chemical compositions of their diet is cellulose for herbivore and protein for carnivore
