    • Respration
      • Process of transferring energy from the breakdown of glucose
        • However, organisms can break other molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
      • Plants make glucose by photosynthesising
      • Animals respire by breaking down biomass after consuming other organisms
      • Needed to survive - it is continuous in every cell
      • Several different chemical reactions (controlled by enzymes)
        • Rate of respiration depends on the temperature and pH
      • Exothermic
      • Aerobic and Anaerobic respiratio
        • Aerobic Respiration
          • When there is plenty of oxygen
          • Most efficient way to transfer energy from glucose
            • Each molecule of glucose creates 32 molecules of ATP!
          • Takes place in mitochondria for eukaryotic cells - Powerhouse
          • Takes place in the cytoplasm for Prokaryotic cells such as bacteria
        • Anaerobic Respiration
          • Without oxygen
          • Takes place in cytoplasm
          • Vigorous Excercise
            • Lack of oxygen to be transferred
          • Plant root cells
            • If soil gets waterlogged - no oxygen is available
          • Glucose Produces Lactic Acid
          • Fermentation is another type of Anaerobic respiration because there is no oxygen present
    • Cell Cycle and Mitosis
      • Divide cells to make more cells
        • Mitosis
          • Creates the exact same copy as the mother cell
          • Somatic Cells
        • When cells are damaged or need replacement
    • Microscopy
      • Total Magnification = Eyepiece lens Magnification multiplied by the objective lens magnification
      • Magnification = Measured Size divided by Actual Size
    • Sexual Reproduction
      • Gametes
        • Contain half the number of chromosomes (23)
        • Meiosis
          • Divide cells to make more cells
            • Mitosis
              • Creates the exact same copy as the mother cell
              • Somatic Cells
            • When cells are damaged or need replacement
          • Sex Cells
          • DNA duplicates so there is enough for each new cell
            • Chromosomes (made by DNA) line up down the middle of the cell
              • Get pulled by fibres which then create two new cells. Some mother chromosomes and father chromosomes are sent to the cell too
                • Mixture of mother and father chromosomes forms variation
                  • Chromosomes get pulled again - leaving one armed chromosomes
                    • Your final product is 4 daughter cells
      • Combine genetic information to form a genetically different to either parent
      • Fertilisation -when the gametes fuse
        • Sperm enters the egg (zygote)
          • Chromosomes then pair up
            • Mitosis occurs to then develop an embryo
  • As it cannot happen directly, ATP is made by the energy transferred.
    • Stores the energy and used for many essential processes
      • Breaking and making products
      • Active transport
      • Contracting muscles
    • Needed to survive - it is continuous in every cell
  • DNA is spread in long strings
    • Cell grows for subcellular structures to form
      • Duplicates its DNA
        • Left arm has the exact same DNA as the right
        • Forms chromosomes (X Shaped)
          • Left arm has the exact same DNA as the right
          • Line up down the middle so cell fibres can pull them apart
            • Cytoplasm and Membrane divide. Form 2 "daughter cells"
  • Formula for number of cells made after numerous divisions by mitosis is a big formula
    • 2 raised to the power of n
  • Cancer
    • Uncontrollable cell division
      • Leads to a lump of cells that are abnormal - Tumor
    • Environment
    • Genetic
    • Cell Cycle and Mitosis
