Science revision (B2, C2, P2)

?
What does a quadrant square do?
Allows you to estimate the population of something in one area due to the number of the species found in that quadrant.
1 of 20
What animals are usually captured by nets.
Flying insects like butterflies, dragonflies etc.
2 of 20
What do pitfall traps do and how do they work?
They catch insects that walk across the ground, the insects fall into the jar and can't get back out.
3 of 20
What do pooters do?
They capture insects by you sucking them through a tube into a jar. You can choose which insects you capture.
4 of 20
The sample size effects the accuracy of the estimate, how?
The bigger your sample, the more accurate your estimate.
5 of 20
What process do plants make their own food?
Photosynthesis.
6 of 20
What does photosynthesis do?
It produces glucose from the sunlight.
7 of 20
Where does photosynthesis take place?
Chloroplasts.
8 of 20
Write the word equation for photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide + water ------> glucose + oxygen.
9 of 20
What does photosynthesis use energy from the sun for?
It changes carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
10 of 20
What is glucose?
Soluble.
11 of 20
Name the symbol equation for photosynthesis.
6CO(2) + 6H2(2)O + 6O(2)
12 of 20
Why can glucose diffuse in and out of cells easily?
Because they're small molecules.
13 of 20
How is glucose used in respiration?
It releases energy so they can convert the rest of the glucose into various other useful substances.
14 of 20
How is glucose used to make cell walls?
It's converted into cellulose for making cell walls, especially in a plant that is growing rapidly.
15 of 20
How is glucose stored in seeds?
Its turned into lipids (fats and oils) for storage.
16 of 20
Where is glucose stored when changed into starch?
Roots, stems and leaves.
17 of 20
How is glucose made into proteins?
It's combined with nitrates that are collected from the soil. It is then converted into amino acids and then into proteins.
18 of 20
What are proteins used for?
Growth and repair.
19 of 20
Why is starch good for storage?
It's insoluble. This prevents it from bloating the storage cells by not drawing water in like glucose.
