Q

Describe the process of blood flow in the heart (4)

A
  • Blood enters the right atrium via the vena cava
  • Atria contracts and forces blood inot the right ventricle and cause the valves to shut
  • Ventricle contracts, blood in right ventricle enters pulmonary artery and goes to lungs
  • Blood goes to Left atrium from pulmonary vein then to the left ventricle and to aorta inot the body

A

made of stem cells, so allows plant to grow

59
Q

Function of gaurd cells

A

control opneing and closing of stomata according to water and gas content of plant

60
Q

2 Stomata adaptations

A
  • More space to minimise water less as bottom= cooler

61
Q

2 adaptations of rot hair cells

A
  • Lots of mitochondria for active transport
  • Large surface area to maximise ate of absorbtion
62
Q

What is translocation

A

the movement of dissolve sugars from leaves to other parts of plant

63
Q

what is transpiration

A

Evaporation of water from plant surface

64
Q

How transpiration works

A
  • water evaporates from surface by stomata
  • More water is pulled up the xylem
65
Q

Xylem and phloem function

A

x= transport water and mineral ions from roots to leaves

p= translocation→ transport food from leaves to rest of plant

66
Q

What is a transpiration stream

A

movement of water from roots through xylem out leaves

67
Q

4 factors that affcet transpiration and how

A
  • Temp= increased temp leads to increased evaporation and diffusion so translocation rate increases
  • Humidity = increased humidity measn conc gradient is decreased so translocation rate decreases
  • Wind speed= increased speed means less water conc outside leaf so conc gradient increases and translocation rate increases
  • Light intensity = increased light intensity increases photosynthesis, so more stomata open so translocation rate increases
68
Q

Job of RBC

A

Carry oxygen from lungs to body cells

69
Q

How do enzymes work

A
  • has active site which is specific to substrate
  • Substrate attatches to enzyme’s active site and catylises the breakdown of substrate
  • Products released from active site and active site stays same shape so used again
70
Q

2 adaptations of arteries

A
  • Thick muscle walls to cope with blood pumped out at high pressure
  • Elastic fibres in walls so can strech and recoil to help with pressure of blood
71

A

A= substrate

B=Active site

C=Enzyme

D=Products

72
Q

Explaine effect of temperature on enzymes

Q

3 places protease are produced

A

Stomach

pancreas

small intestine

A

Small intestine

84
Q

What is meant by fat being emulsified

A

Broken down into timny droplets

85
Q

What happen in the small intestine

A

Enzymes produced and nutrients absorbed through villi into blood

86
Q

What happens in the large intestine

A

Excess water absorbed from food

87
Q

2 resons the stomach produces HCl

A

  • Give optimum temp for pepsin
88
Q

Food test for starch and result

A
  • Add iodine to tube and shake
  • Brown/orange → black/ blue
89
Q

Food test for proteins and result

A
  • Add biuret and shake
  • Blue → lilac
90
Q

Food test for fats and result

A
  • Ethanol
  • Ciover and shake vigourously and allow to settle
  • add hot wat-er

Clear → milky-white emulsification

91
Q

What does bile do to fat and why does it speed up digestion

A

Emulsifies it, so gives larger surface area of fat for lipase to work on

92
Q

Shape of RBC’s

A

Biconcave disc

93
Q

What does RBC shape do

A

Gives large surface area for absorbing oxygen

94
Q

red blood cell adaptations

A
  • no nucleus so more oxygen can be absorbed
  • Contains haemoglobin which attatches to oxygen
95
