1 of 27
what is in an animal cell
nucleus, cell mem, cytoplasm
2 of 27
what is in a plant cell
nucleus, cell mem, cell wall, cytoplasm, vacuole, chloroplasts
3 of 27
tissues
a group of similar cells that work together eg. muscle
4 of 27
organs
a group of similar tissues that work together eg. heart
5 of 27
examples of plants
cereals (maize) and herbaceous legumes (peas)
6 of 27
examples of fungi
yeast (single) and mucor (mycelium body)
7 of 27
saprotrophic nutrition
secret extracellular enzymes to the area outside their body to dissolve their food and absorb the nutrients
8 of 27
how do plants store carbs
sucrose or starch
9 of 27
how do animals and fungi store carbs
glycogen
10 of 27
examples of protoctists
chlorella (plant like) amoeba (animal like)
11 of 27
characteristics of bacteria
-single celled
12 of 27
characteristics of bacteria
-no nucleus -circular chromosome of dna -photosynthesise -feed off other organisms
13 of 27
examples of bacteria
salmonella and pneumococcus
14 of 27
characteristics of viruses
-particles -parasites (reproduce inside living cells) -protein coat surrounding some DNA
15 of 27
pathogen
an organism that causes disease
16 of 27
enzymes
catalysts produced by living things
17 of 27
catalyst
a substance which increase the speed of a reaction without being changed or used up
18 of 27
substrate
a molecule that is changed in a reaction
19 of 27
active site
the part where the substrate joins onto the enzyme
20 of 27
denatured
when an enzyme is put in the wrong conditions resulting in the breaking of bonds, loss of shape and function (permenant)
21 of 27
turgid
well watered plant that has drawn water into cells by osmosis and become swollen, high tugor pressure
22 of 27
flaccid
lack of water and tugor pressure (droopy)
23 of 27
how to investigate diffusion (non living)
agar jelly - phenolphthalein & sodium hydroxide into HCl
24 of 27
how to investigate osmosis (living)
potato cylinders in pure water and concentrated sugar solution
25 of 27
how to investigate osmosis (non living)
visking tubing, wire around one end, glass rod in it, wire around other end, pour sugar solution into rod
26 of 27
3 factors effecting movement of substances
SA : V , temp , conc gradient
