anearobic respiration
glucose-> ethanol +carbon dioxide, or lactic acid
1 of 32
diffusion
net movement of particles down a concentration gradient
2 of 32
active transport
movement of particles against a concentration gradient, using energy from respiration
3 of 32
mitosis
chromosomes doubled, then split into 2(pulled to different poles)
4 of 32
meiosis
splits twice, only sex cells, with 23 chromosomes each, not genetically identical
5 of 32
diffusion rate affectors
temperature, gradient steepness, surface area to volume ratio
6 of 32
emphysema
alveoli surface area reduced
7 of 32
bronchitis
cilia dont work
8 of 32
amalase(carbohydrase)
starch to maltose
9 of 32
maltase(carbohydrase)
maltose to glucose
10 of 32
pepsin(protease)
proteins to peptides
11 of 32
lipase
lipids to fatty acids and glycerol
12 of 32
eye from front
conjunctiva,cornea,iris.(retina inside back, sclera outside back)
13 of 32
rod cells
dim but not colours
14 of 32
cone cells
colours in bright light
15 of 32
why are image sharp if focused on the fovea
cones are concentrated there, they produce sharper images
16 of 32
motor neurone
dendrons come off cell body
17 of 32
sensory neurone
cell body outside, long dendron
18 of 32
FSH(follicle stimulating hormone)
stimulates egg development,and oestrogen secretion
19 of 32
LH(luteinising hormone)
egg release
20 of 32
ADH
controls blood water content
21 of 32
insulin
lowers blood glucose
22 of 32
glucagon
raises blood glucose
23 of 32
nervous vs endocrine systems
electrical impulse(with chemical at synapse vs hormones in bloodstream, fast vs longer, shortlived response usually vs longer lasting, localised effect vs can affect many organs
24 of 32
homeostasis
keeping internal body conditions relatively constant
25 of 32
how does ADH work?
when too little water in blood, detected by hypothalamus, and ADH secreted from pituitary gland. casues collecting ducts to become more permeable to water, reducing water loss.
26 of 32
oestogen
stops FSH production, stimulates pituitary gland to release LH
27 of 32
progesterone
secreted by ovaries. maintains uterus lining. if egg fertilized, the corpus luteum continues to make progesterone, and then it is secreted by the placenta. if not then the corpus luteum breaks down, and the lining of the uterus is shed.
28 of 32
nitrate
making amino acids, chlorophyll, DNA and protein. lack=stunted growth, older leaves yellow
29 of 32
phosphate
DNA, part of cell membrane. lack=poor root growth, younger leaves purple
30 of 32
potassium
for enzymes of respiration and photosynthesis to work. lack=yellow leaves with dead spots
31 of 32
magnesium
part of chlorophyl. lack=leaves turn yellow
32 of 32
