Passive transport?
Goes down a concentration gradient and does not require energy
14 of 29
Examples of passive transport?
Diffusion and osmosis
15 of 29
Why is diffusion important ?
Oxygen to come in and carbon dioxide to come out
16 of 29
Whats is osmosis?
The movement of water molecules from a high water concentration to a low water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane
17 of 29
After osmosis what happens to animal cells?
They burst or shrink
18 of 29
After osmosis what happens to plant cells?
They become turgid or plasmolysed
19 of 29
What is active transport?
Against a concentration gradient and requires energy
20 of 29
What is the structure of DNA?
A double stranded helix held together by complementary base pairs
21 of 29
What does DNA carry?
The genetic info for making proteins
22 of 29
What are the 4 bases?
Adenine, Cytosine , Guanine and Thymine
23 of 29
How do the base pairs pair up?
A+T G+C
24 of 29
What does the sequence of bases along a strand determine?
The genetic code
25 of 29
What do the base sequence determine?
The amino acid sequence in proteins
26 of 29
What is a gene?
The section of DNA that codes for a protein
27 of 29
What is mRNA?
The molecule that carries a complementary copy of the gentic code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, where the protein is assembled
