  • B1
    • Plant Hormones
      • Can be use for either
        • Agriculture (growing crops in fields)
        • Horriculture (growing flowers, fruits and vegetables)
      • Weedkillers
        • Selective weedkillers kill broad-leaved weeds in grass and crops that have narrow leaves eg wheat.
      • Rooting Hormones
        • Plant hormones used in rooting powder as it helps plant cuttings develope roots faster
    • Plant and Animal Adaptations
      • Animals in the Artic
        • Smaller ears (reduced surface area therefore reduced heat loss)
        • Lighter colours (for camoflage in snow)
        • More fat below skin (for insulation)
        • Larger feet (for better grip on slippery surfaces)
      • Animals in Dry a Environment
        • drink latrge quantities of water - go longer without drinking but still stay hydrated
        • Fat stored for food and water
        • Thick coat on top of body to insulate against heat
        • Large ears transfer body heat to air quicker
      • Extremophiles
        • Organisms that have adaptations so they can tolerate very extreme environments many extremophiles are microrganisms
    • Nervous System
      • Receptors
        • Stimulus (change in surroundings)
          • Nervous System (detects stimuli and coordinates response)
            • Response (change organisms behaviour as a result of the stimulus
        • Receptor organs include;eyes,ears, nose, tongue and skin
      • Responses
        • Reflex
          • Electrical IMPULSE passes from receptor across SENSORY NEURONE to a RELAY NEURONE in the centeral nervous system impulse then passes to a MOTOR NEURONE and then to the EFFECTOR
    • Asexual Reproduction
      • Asexual reproduction involves only one parent. So there is no genetic variety. However this works really well if you need to grow or repair your cells
    • Healthy Living
      • Diet
        • Body needs nutrients to stay healthy
          • if you do not get these nutrients you will become malnourished
      • Metabolic Rate = The speed  at which chemical reactions occur in your cells
      • Eating too much fat can lead to high cholesterol which can lead to heart disease
    • Drugs Trail
      • Before new drugs are introduced you first test them in lab on cultures of cells, cultures of tissues and animals. you then get a healthy volunteer and give them a small dose of the drug to check that the drug is not harmful, then you test the EFFICANCY (if it works) to find the best dose to give.
