Q

What are the six steps of the xylem flow mechanism?

A
  1. Water molecules move into the roots via osmosis. Root hairs increase surface area.
  2. Active transport (ATP) moves water into vasuclar tissue through the casparian strip (endodermic cells)
  3. The new xylem sap moves up the stem via root pressure. More water will flow in, pushing water up.
  4. Capillary action halps the sap up, with cohesion and andhesion to the trachieds and vessel elements.
  5. water goes to the plant through pits in the trachieds and vessel elements.
  6. Transporation pulls the water up to the leaves and out the stomata on the leaves. Water loss at the leaves pulls the water up.

Q

What are the four steps of the pressure flow mechanism?

A
  1. Sugars start in the source (storage). They move to the phloem tube via active transport.
  2. Water moves to the oversaturated phloem cells through osmosis and moves the sugar around
  3. Sugar moves into the sink through diffusion as it has a lower concentration.
  4. Water is returned to the xylem cells thrtough active transport.

Protiens: used for building new cells and organelles and repairing cells - amino acids
Fats: used for strengthening cell membranes - triglycerides, a glycerol w/ 3 fatty acid chains

32
Q

What characterises an open circulatory system?

A

Blood is put into the body cavity from arteries. Fluids flow into veins that pump them back to the heart as pressure rises in the body (insects, arthropods)

33
Q

What is a single circulatory system?

A

Has a single pump. Aeortic arches have additional muscle that pumps blood through the body (worm, insect). Can also be a two chambered heart with one atrium and one ventricle. (fish)

34
Q

What is a double circulatory system- three chambered heart?

A

Blood goes through the pump twice. Oxygen rich blood from the lungs goes to the left atrium, oxygen poor blood goes to the right. they both empty to one ventricle and mix. (reptiles, amphibeans)

35
Q

What is a double circulatory system - four chambered heart?

A

Left atrium (oxygenated blood) –> left ventricle –> body –> right atrium (deoxygenated) –> right ventricle –> lungs –> left atrium

36
Q

What is Nondisjunction?

A

A muatation at the phenotypic level. When more than one half of a tetrad or chromosome is pulled to one side during meiosis. Results in one gamete with too many genes, or too little genes.

37
Q

What is Down syndrome?

A

Occurs when one has three instances of the 21st chromosome (trisomy 21). Causes developmental delay, unique facial structure

38
Q

What is klinefelter’s syndrome?

A

When one has three copies of the sex chromosomes - XXY. Present as males, but grow breasts, infertility, and learning disorders.

39
Q

What is translocation?

A

A mutation at the chromosomal level. Chromsomes switch places with each other or are added to each other: down syndrome

40
Q

What is deletion?

A

Error at gene level. A portion of a chromsome is deleted: cri du chat syndrome (5d)

41
Q

What is duplication?

A

Genes or chromosomes are duplicated: Klinefelter’s syndrome

42
Q

What is Inversion?

A

Genes segment is inserted backwards during replication. Results in death.

43
Q

What is meant by species vary globally?

A

Species varying globally describes how species living in similar environments on other sides of the world will look similar. An example is the ostrich, emu, and rhea in Africa, Australia, and South aMerica. They all look and function similarly as they all live on plains. This also explains super unique animals in unique habitats around the world, like how most things in Australia are adapted to the extreme temperature and environment. (Kangaroos)

44
Q

What is meant by species vary locally?

A

When species vary locally, they have small differences that allow them to adapt to their slightly different habitats.
An example is the giant tortoise. On one rainy, vegetative island, the tortoises have short necks to reach the low level vegetation that grows there. On a dry, barren island the tortoises have long necks to reach the few plants that are available. Darwin also found different finches with different shaped beaks that allowed them to eat the unique fruit and nuts that grew on each of the islands. This finch came to be known as the Darwin Finch.

45
Q

What is meant by species vary over time?

A

When species vary over time they change slightly over many, many generations and years. This allows a species to adapt to new weather patterns or colonisation areas.

Multicellular organisms
Photosynthsis
Prokaryotic organisms

47
Q

A

Forward facing eyes
more flattened molars for increased plant diet
grasping hands and feet with opposable first digits

48
Q

What is the prosmian lineage?

A

The prosimian lineage gave rise to present day lemurs, lorises, pottos, and tarsiers, characterized by very large eyes (compared to their skull), nocturnal activities and often a long tail.

49
Q

What is the anthropod lineage?

A

The anthropoid lineage gave rise to monkeys, apes, and humans, characterized by enlarged brains, colour vision, sensitive touch in digits, etc.

50
Q

What happens at the root tip during primary growth?

A

At the zone of cell dividion, more cells are made, extending the root. At the zone of elongation, they specialize into their different substances. At the zone of maturation, they carry out their jobs.

51
Q

What is the endodermis?

A

This holds water when going to the vascular system and makes sure it goes to the right place and oesn’t leak into the cell. Encapsulates the casparian strip. Like the cuticle, but for roots.

52
Q

Name the five plant hormones and their uses, as well as where they are found.

A
  1. Auxin - Causes cell elongation. In apical meristem
  2. Cytokimins - promote all cell division in meristems, young leaves, growing seeds, etc. Control ageing.
  3. Gibberellens - 100 different compounds that control size of plant, flowering, and fruit production.
  4. Abscisic Acid (ABA) - Stops cell division, stopping growth. Used in winter, drought. Closes stomata.

5 Ethine - Gas that triggers developmental stages. (fruit maturing, falling, leaf maturing, falling, flower growth

53
Q

How are species named?

A

Binomial nomenclature. The genus comes first, and the species name comes after. e.g. Homo sapiens (italicised)

54
Q

Name the four shapes of bacteria and what they look like.

A

Cocci - round
Baccilli (rod)
Spirilli - Spiral

55

double (diplo)
chain (strepto)
clump (staphylo)

57
Q

What shape would a diplococci bacteria be in

A

double round shape.

58
Q

What is a zygospore fungi

A

Reproduce sexually an asexually and produce zygospores during sexual reproduction (bread mold)

59
Q

What is a club fungi?

A

Have fruiting bodies called basidiocarps that form basidiospores (mushrooms)

60
Q

What is a sac fungi?

A

form sacs called asci during sexual reproduction. Spores are produces at hyphae tip. (yeast, mildew)

61
Q

Imperfect fungi

A

Do not have sexual reproduction (peniccilum, P. roguefort)

62
Q

What are protozoa

A

Animal like protists. They are motile, no cell wall. e.g. amoeba.

63
Q

What is an algae

A

Contains clorophyll, do photosynthesis, as well as cath their own food. e.g. Euglena

64
Q

What is a slime mold?

A

visible to naked eye as tiny ‘slug-like’ organisms
this ‘blob’ is called a plasmodium which is multicellular and contains many nuclei
engulfs like an amoeba

These are the spore bearing structures called sporangia. Spores are produced during the sexual stage of the life cycle and can survive dry periods that would otherwise kill the plasmodium.
e.g. mycomycota

65
Q

What is a water mould?

A

are filamentous organisms that resemble fungi
most live on dead organic matter
some are parasites
one species Phytophthera infestans infects potatoes (responsible for Irish potato famines)
Differ from true fungi in the type of spore produced and the nature of the sexual stage of their life cycle.
e.g.Oomycota

66
Q

Hwo do protozoa move around?

A

Cilia, flagella, and pseudopods.

67
Q

How do guard cells work?

A

Stomata are surrounded by two guard cells that regulate transpiration rates, loss of water through evaporation.
During the day, the stomata are usually open to allow CO2 and O2 out. The guard cells have chlorophyll so when the sun is out they produce sugars. This causes water to move into the cells and they swell. The stomate are open.
Stomata close at night or whan the plant is losing water (if it is too hot). The guard cells don’t make sugars and will lose water and go limp. This closes the stomate.
There are typically more guard cells in the lower epidermis since this layer is not directly exposed to the sun and is cooler.
