Q

what are taxes and kinesis?

A

simple responses that keep organisms in favourable enviro

26
Q

define taxes?

A

mobile organism moves towards or away from directional stimulus

e.g. light

27
Q

define kinesis?

A

mobile organisms change movement in response to non-directional stimulus

e.g. humidity

28
Q

advantages of taxes and kinesis?

A
  • reduce water loss
  • safe from pred
29
Q

choice chamber?

A
  • put 100 woodlice in centre of choice chamber
  • observe for 10 mins
  • record number of turns
  • rate of movement
  • final position
30
Q

what do organisms do in unfavourable conditions?

A
  • move more / faster
  • turn more

SO MOVE TO NEW AREA

31
Q

what do organisms do in favourable enviro?

A
  • move less / slower
  • turn less

REMAIN IN FAVOURABLE AREA

32
Q

light is focused onto retina by what?

A

lens

33
Q

detection of light?

A
  • light absorbed by pigments in photoreceptors
  • causes sodium ion channels to open (GP)
  • if threshold reached - AP fired
  • along bipolari neurone and optic nerve
  • to CNS (brain)
34
Q

describe rods?

A
  • monochromatic vision
  • more sensitive to light
  • low visual acuity
  • because many rods join ONE neurone
35
Q

where are rods found?

A

peripheral parts of retina

36
Q

describe cones?

A
  • colour vision (blue,red and green cone)
  • less sensitive to low light
  • higher visual acuity
  • because each cone attached to own neurone
37
Q

what is a blind spot?

A
  • no photoreceptors
38
Q

what is at the fovea?

A
  • lots of photoreceptors
  • mainly cones
39
Q

what is reflex?

A

rapid response to stimulus without conscious control

40
Q

object approaching eye?

A
  • stimulus = object approaching eye
  • receptor detects stimulus
  • imp sent along sensory neurone
  • relay neurone in CNS
  • motor neurone
  • effectors (muscle/gland)
  • response = blink
41

what is ATP used for in muscle contraction

A
  • changing shape of myosin head (power stroke)

to move a limb in both directions what do muscles need to work in

A

A

pull (cant push)

56
Q

ligaments attach

A

bones to bones

57
Q

tendons attach

A

bones to muscle

58
Q

when sarcomere contracts

A
  • sarcomere shortens

  • A band stays same
59
Q

equation for phosphocreatine system

A

PCr + ADP –> ATP + Cr

60
Q

phosphocreatine system

FASTEST

A
  • phosphate group added to ADP = ATP
  • cells store PCr/CP
  • short and simple - fastest way make ATP
  • PCr store used up quickly - used for high intensity, short duration (power lifting)
  • anaerobic
  • alactic
61
Q

anaerobic resp (glycolysis)

A
  • 2 ATP mady by glycolysis
