A

Type of crisp.

22

Burning Crisps Dependent variable

A

Temperature change of the water.

23
Q

Burning Crisps Control Variable 1

A

Mass of crisp.

24
Q

Burning Crisps Control Variable 2

A

Complete combustion of crisp

25
Q

Burning Crisps Control Variable 3

A

Distance of crisp from water.

26
Q

Why do living things need energy?

A

Living things need energy in order to carry out the 7 life processes; movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excretion and nutrition.

27
Q

How much energy is required can depend on

A

How much energy is required can depend on many different factors.

28
Q

BMR

A

Basal Metabolic Rate

29
Q

Basal Metabolic Rate

A

Basal Metabolic Rate is the rate at which energy is used up when the body is at rest.

BMR is an estimate of how many calories you’d burn if you were to do nothing but rest for 24 hours.

It represents the minimum amount of energy needed to keep your body functioning, including breathing and keeping your heart beating.

30
Q

unbalanced diet

A

An unbalanced diet is one that does not contain the right amount of nutrients for an individual.

31
Q

malnutrition

A

caused by unbalanced diet It can lead to malnutrition. You can either be:
not getting enough nutrients (lack)
getting more nutrients than needed (excess)

32
Q

Whether or not a diet is balanced depends on several factors, such as:

A

Age

Lifestyle

Size
Metabolism
Some hormones
Some medicines
Some diseases

33
Q

MOUTH

A

Chews food and adds saliva.
Start of carbohydrate break down.

34
Q

LIVER

A

Produces bile, that is released in the entrance of the small intestine to help break down lipids

35
Q

SMALL INTESTINE

A

Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids molecules are broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream.

36
Q

STOMACH

A

Adds acid to kill bacteria and allows digestive chemicals to work. Churns to mix. Start of protein digestion.

37
Q

PANCREAS

A

Produces digestive chemicals which aid the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

38
Q

LARGE INTESTINE

A

Water is absorbed back into the bloodstream from what is left of the food.

39
Q

Acids

A

Acids are substances that taste sour.
Household acids include lemon juice, apples, vinegar and fizzy drinks.

40
Q

Alkalis

A

Alkalis are the opposite of an acid.
An alkali is a substance that can feel soapy to touch.
Common household alkalis include oven cleaner, bleach and toothpaste.

41
Q

Indicators

A

Indicators are solutions that change colour whether an acid or alkali is present.
Indicator Methyl orange
Colour in acid Red
Colour in alkali Yellow

IndicatorPhenolphthalein
Colour in acidColourless
Colour in alkaliPink

IndicatorUniversal indicator
Colour in acidRed
Colour in alkaliBlue

42
Q

What is the pH scale?

A

pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline a solution is. Solutions have a pH between 1 and 14.

43
Q

What is an Acid?

A

Acids are a group of compounds with a pH less than 7. Acids are solutions which contain hydrogen ions (H+). Acids have a sour taste.
Examples include: orange juice and vinegar.

44
Q

What is an Alkali?

A

Alkalis are a group of compounds with a pH greater than 7. Alkalis contain hydroxide ions (OH-). Alkalis feel soapy to touch.
Examples include: bleach and toothpaste

45
Q

How hazardous is a substance?

A

If an acid has a small pH, the more hazardous.
If an alkali has a large pH, the more hazardous.
The closer a pH value is to 7, the less hazardous a substance is.

46
Q

Describing Substances

A

We can described a substance with a pH lower than 7 as an acid or as being acidic.

We can described a substance with a pH greater than 7 as an alkali or as being alkaline.

47
Q

To neutralise an acid:

A

Add a small volume of an alkali to the acid

Stir the solution and use the stirring rod to test the pH on pH paper

Continue to repeat steps 1 & 2 until the substance is nearly neutral. At this point, add the alkali a couple of drops at a time, until the solution is pH 7.

48
Q

neutralisation

A

If an acid is added to an alkali (in the right quantity) it will neutralise the substance, making water.

This is how antacids treat indigestion (too much acid in the stomach)
