Question Answer
What is three main parts of an animal cell? Mitochondria; Nucleus; Cell Membrane
What is in the Nucleus? DNA
What do Mitochondria do? Power the cell
What does the cell membrane do? Lets things in and out the cell
What two extra things do plant cells have? Cell Wall and Chloroplasts
What is the purpose of the cell wall? To provide support for the cell
What do chloroplasts do? Absorb energy from sunlight for use in photosynthesis
Where is protein made in both plant and animal cells? Ribosomes
What are the four parts of a yeast cell?
How do yeast reproduce? They reproduce by budding, asexual reproduction
Are yeast microorganisms or fungus? BOTH!
What is the seven parts of the bacteria cell?
Where do yeast live? Skin, Marine Water, Leaves & Flowers
What is yeast used for? To produce beer, bread and in wine production
What can yeast cause? Thrush in mouth and throat Viganal infections Diaper Rash
True or false: Yeast and bacteria are single celled? True
What shape can bacteria be? Sphere, Rod or Spiral
What is bacteria used for? Some help plants absorb nitrogen Cause diseases like botulism Live in cows stomach to break down cellulase
What is flagella and what does it do? The tail structure on bacteria that allows it to swim
What does the capsule do? Stops white blood cells entering and killing the bacteria
What is the DNA different in bacteria? As there is no nucleus, the DNA is spread out but is still controlling the cell
What is the fimbliae? Allows bacteria to stick to each other or other things
What is a tissue? A group of cells that have similar structures but carry out the same functions
What is an organ? Organs are a group of tissue working together to carry out a particular function
What is the function of the small intestines? To break down food, absorb the good parts and send them to the blood stream
The gas exchange system's function? Is to oxygenise the red blood cells through diffusion and remove the carbon dioxide form the capilleries
What is an organ system? A group of organs working together to carry out a function
What is an organ system? A group of organs working together to carry out a function
What is diffusion? The spreading out of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
What is the purpose of a cell membrane during diffusion? The membrane only lets small molecules like oxygen, glucose, amino acids and water through not large molecules like protein and starch.
What are five specialised cells? Sperm, Red blood, fat, neurone, root hair
Functions of the specialised cells? Sperm: Travel through female system to pass genetics on Red blood: To carry oxygen Fat cell: To store excess food Neurone: Carry messages quickly Root Hair: Enable plants to take in water
Equation of photosynthesis CO2+water->glucose+oxygen
What is photosynthesis? The process where glucose is produced using sunlight for food
What uses photosynthesis Plants and algaes
How does water reach the cell? via the Xylem
What affects the rate of photosynthesis? Temperature, Light & CO2
What causes the light to be a limiting factor? Night time
What causes temperature to be a limiting factor? Winter
What causes CO2 to be a limiting factor? Warm and brightness
Where can these limiting factors be controlled? A Greenhouse
How do plants use Glucose? Respiration, making cell walls, making protein, it is stored in seeds and stored as starch
What might affect the distribution of organisms? Temperature, water, oxygen and CO2, nutrients and light
What can speed the processes up inside living things? Catalysts
What are catalysts? A catalyst is something that increases the speed of a reaction, without be changed or used up in the reaction
What need to be controlled with a catalyst Temperature and pH
Amylase breaks starch into what? Sugars
Protease breaks proteins into what? Amino acids
Lipase breaks Lipids into what? Glycerol and fatty acids
What does bile do? Neutralises stomach acids and emulsifies fats
Where is bile produced Liver
Where is bile stored? gall bladder and then released into the small intestine
What do salivary glands produce? Amylase
What does the pancreas produce? Protease, amylase and lipase. it releases these to the small intestines.
What does the small intestine produce? Amylase, protease and lipase to complete digestion.
What is respiration? The process of releasing energy from glucose, which happens in every cell
What is aerobic respiration? Respiration using oxygen, it is the most efficient way to release energy
where does aerobic respiration occur? Mitochondria
Equation for aerobic respiration Glucose+oxygen-> CO2+water+energy
what is energy released used for? build up large molecules from small ones, allow muscles to contract, keep body temp steady
when is anaerobic respiration used? when there is not enough oxygen
equation for anaerobic respiration glucose->energy+lactic acid
