- Biology
- there are 2 types of cells
- Eukaryotic (plant and animal) and Prokaryotic (bacteria)
- The difference between these cells are that Prokaryotic cells are much smaller and Eukaryotic cells contain membrane bound-organelles and a nucleus containing genetic material
- Eukaryotic (plant and animal) and Prokaryotic (bacteria)
- Genetic information is stored in a prokaryotic cell by chromosomal DNA and plasmid DNA
- Plasmids are small, circular loops of DNA found free in the cytoplasm and separate from the main DNA
- A communicable disease is a disease caused by a pathogen which can be passed between animals or plants
- A pathogen is a disease-causing microorganism
- A tissue is a group of cells with a similar structure and function working together
- An organ is a collection of tissues working together to perform a specific function
- An organ system is a group of organs working together to perform specific functions
- An organ is a collection of tissues working together to perform a specific function
- Once inside the body, bacteria divide rapidly by binary fission. They kill cells and produce harmful toxins
- Viruses invade and reproduce inside living body cells, leading to cell damage
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise glucose using light energy from the sun. Light energy is converted into chemical energy
- It takes place within chloroplasts in leaf palisade cells. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment which absorbs light energy
- The equation for photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide + Water - > Glucose + Oxygen
- It takes place within chloroplasts in leaf palisade cells. They contain chlorophyll, a pigment which absorbs light energy
- Aerobic respiration is an exothermic reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen to release energy which can be used by cells
- The equation for aerobic respiration is Glucose + Oxygen - > Carbon dioxide + Water
- It takes place in the mitochondria
- Anaerobic respiration is an exothermic reaction in which glucose is broken down to release energy in the absence of oxygen
- The equation for anaerobic respiration is Glucose - > Lactic acid
- Anaerobic respiration is an exothermic reaction in which glucose is broken down to release energy in the absence of oxygen
- It takes place in the mitochondria
- The equation for aerobic respiration is Glucose + Oxygen - > Carbon dioxide + Water
- there are 2 types of cells
