What are Mitochondria?
Structures in the cytoplasm where energy is released during Photosynthesis
3 of 36
What is the equation for Aerobic respiration and where does it occur?
Glucose + Oxygen ---> Carbon dioxide + Water, occurs in the Mitochondria

What are Enzymes?
Protein molecules made up of long chains of amino acids, folded to form active sights, where the Substrate of the reaction binds with the Enzyme
5 of 36
What is a Gene?
A small section of DNA which codes for a particular combination of amino acids which makes a specific protein

What is Huntingdon's disease caused by?
A dominant allele inherited from one parent
7 of 36
During photosynthesis, by what and where is light absorbed?
Absorbed by the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts
8 of 36
What are the limiting factors of photosynthesis?
Light, Temperature, Carbon Dioxide levels
9 of 36
What do Enzymes control?
Chemical reactions inside the cell
10 of 36
What is an example of a specialised cell?
Root hair cell

What is Diffusion?
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration, to and area of low concentration
12 of 36
What is Osmosis?
Diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
13 of 36
Nucleus
Controls all cell activity and contains instructions for making new cells
14 of 36
What is Cystic Fibrosis caused by?
A recessive allele inherited from both parents
15 of 36
What is the equation for Photosynthesis?
Carbon Dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen
16 of 36

Meiosis
18 of 36
What other structures are found in plant cells but not in animal cells?
Cell Wall, Chloroplasts, Permanent Vacuole
19 of 36
Ribosomes
Where protein synthesis takes place
20 of 36
Cell Membrane
Controls the passage of substances in and out of the cell
21 of 36
What core temperature is best for Enzyme activity?
37"C
22 of 36
What is your body temperature controlled by?
The Thermoregulatory centre in the brain
23 of 36
Where are your blood sugar levels controlled?
The Pancreas
24 of 36
What hormones are involved in controlling the blood sugar levels and what do they convert?
Insulin which converts glucose into glycogen, and Glucagon which converts glycogen into glucose
25 of 36
In diabetes, why may the blood sugar levels rise fatally high?
The Pancreas does not secrete insulin
26 of 36
What factors affect Enzyme activity?
Temperature, pH
27 of 36
What Enzymes can be found in biological detergents?
Protease and Lipase
28 of 36
Describe the carbon cycle
Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis, and replaced by combustion and respiration
29 of 36
Cytoplasm
Liquid gel which chemical reactions need for life
30 of 36
Cell Wall
Strengthens and supports cell
31 of 36
