What is the word equation for kinetic energy?
kinetic energy = 0.5 × mass × speed2
What is the word symbol for kinetic energy?
Ek = ½ m v2
What is the word equation for gravitational potential energy?
gravitational potential energy = mass × gravitational field strength (g) × height
What is the symbol equation for gravitational potential energy?
Ep = m g h
What is the word equation for power energy?
power = energy transferred
time
What is the symbol equation for power energy?
P = E
t
What is the equation foe efficiency?
efficiency = useful output energy transfer
total input energy transfer
What is a eukaryotic cell?
a cell with membrane bound organelles
What is a prokaryotic cell?
there usually are a lot smaller. note that they sometimes have cell walls
What is the equation for magnification?
Magnification = size of image/size of real object
Define diffusion
Diffusion is the spreading out of particles of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
Name 3 things that effect the rate of diffusion
The rate of diffusion is increased by the difference in concentration, the temperature and the available surface area.
what is osmosis?
Osmosis is a special case of diffusion. It is the movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
What is active transport?
- Moves substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution (against a concentration gradient). requires energy
how is dna stored in prokaryotic cells?
- The genetic material in a prokaryotic cell is a loop of DNA
- Prokaryotes also have small extra loops of DNA called plasmids
24 What is the unit of specific heat capacity?
J/kg °C
What is the specific heat capacity of a substance?
It is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1 °C
How can the efficiency of an energy transfer be increased?
By using lubrication or insulation
What is the mass number?
The sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
What is the atomic number?
Number of protons in an atom
are the number of protons= the number of electrons. true or false
true
are the number of neutrons= the number of electrons. true or false
false
What occurs during cytokinesis?
The cytoplasm and cell membranes divide.
What is a potential use of stem cells in medicine?
To treat conditions where cells have been damaged e.g. diabetes, paralysis.
