topic 4 contd Flashcards
phase 1 modern CT
small group
healthy volunteers
side effects/ reactions
phase 2 modern CT
larger group
patients
efficacy
dosage
phase 3 modern CT
comparing drug to existing drugs
two groups
one new drug one old drug
step drug testing (B4 CT)
modelling potential effects of drug using computers
test on tissues
test on animals
move to CT
placebos
usually in phase 2 CT
double blind trials
efficacy of drug
conditions for bacterial growth
nutrients
oxygen (for those which respire aerobically)
optimal temp and pH
sustainability
using resources to meet requirements of current generation without depleting resources for future generations
sustainable practices
minimise damage done to environment/ resources to ensure there will be some left for next generation
starch sustainability
excess sugar stores
used to make bioplastics
requires less fossil fuels to produce
plants can be replanted (renewable)
used to make bioethanol- fuel
granum
formed from many layers of thylakoid membranes
increase SA
thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll to absorb light
electron carrier molecules in thylakoid membrane involved in ATP production
