Q

Why does the small intestine contain lots of mitochondria?

A

To release energy for smooth muscle contraction

This pushes food through the digestive systems

Q

What does a human egg cell consist of

A
Protective jelly layer 
Cell membrane 
Cytoplasm 
Nucleus 
Ribosomes 
Mitochondria
17
Q

How many chromosomes are there in a nucleus in a human egg cell

A

46 chromosomes
23 pairs
Haploid = n

18
Q

What does a sorry cell consist of

A

Tail (flagellum)
Mitochondria
Acrosome
Haploid nucleus

19
Q

When the egg and speed fuse and become a diploid nucleus the cell divides to produce a ball of identical cells called a

20
Q

After about 14 days a zygote is called a

21
Q

After a few weeks of egg n spend fusion it’s called a

22
Q

It’s called a baby only when

A

It’s been born

23
Q

What’s the tail specialised for

A

Helps sperm to swim to the egg cell for fertilisation

Goes side to side

24
Q

How is mitochondria an adaptation

A

Releases lots of energy helping sperm to swim

Where respiration occurs

25
How is acrosome and adaptation
Contains enzymes to digest a way through the egg cell membrane
26
How is the protective jelly layer an adaptation
Protects egg cells | Hardens after fertilisation
27
How is cytoplasm an adaptation
Contains nutrients ready to supply the growin embryo
28
What do ciliated epithilial cells do
Line tubes
29
Ciliated epithilial cells in the Fallopian tubes (oviduct) consist of
``` Ribosomes Cytoplasm Cilia Mitochondria Cell membrane Nucleus ```
30
What do cilia do?
Move things along the tube | They contain strands of a substance that can contract and cause a wavy movement
31
Ciliated epithilial cell oviduct moves the egg cell from the ovary towards the
Uterus
32
Because ciliated epithilial cell oviduct is a body cell it has a .......... nucleus
Diploid
33
Give one similarity and one difference between a bacterial cell and an animal cell
``` Similar/ has cell membrane Cytoplasm DNA Ribosomes Different/ no nucleus No nucleus membrane No mitochondria Has plasmid Had cell wall ```
34
How is the shape of a root hair cell adapted to its function
It has a long thin root hair | Increased surface area for absorbing water and diffusion
