UNIT 4 basic revision

?
What is meant by bactericidal?
This is meant that the cell is killed or destroyed by cell lysis, it explodes
1 of 22
What is meant by bacteriostatic?
Cells can not reproduce, therefore there is no cell division
2 of 22
How can hospitals reduce infections being spread?
Only use antibiotics when it is needed and ensure course of treatment is completed
3 of 22
What can hospitals do to patients?
isolate patients with infectious diseases
4 of 22
What is also encouraged?
good washing hygiene
5 of 22
What can patients be?
Screened
6 of 22
What are two features of antibodies?
it is a glycoprotein, antigen binding site
7 of 22
What is active immunity?
There is artifical active immunity, vaccine, synthetic antigen, stimulation of immune response and antibodies are produced faster
8 of 22
Why is data to do with HIV estimates?
HIV is not always produced symptoms, tests need to occur to test symptomless HIV
9 of 22
HOw can seperation of a species lead to two seperate species?
reproductive isolation, restriction of gene pool and selection pressures
10 of 22
How can genetic mutation lead to a seperation of species?
Different alleles arise which leads to different phenotypes
11 of 22
Why is the light dependent stage essential for the light independent stage?
makes products for the calvin cycle, the products are ATP and reduced NADP, REduced NADP is used in reduction of CO2 and ATP is used as an energy source
12 of 22
What is meant by succession?
Changes in a community over a period of time
13 of 22
What is meant by climax community?
The last stage in the seres, that is self-sustaining

Why would 95% of light hitting the plant not be used by chloroplast?
reflection, wrong wavelength of light, not hitting chloroplast
15 of 22
what is means by J m-2 year-1?
Energy in meters squared per year
16 of 22
What is the equation to work out Energy transfer?
NPP= GPP - R
17 of 22
WHy is a species known as one species rather than 2?
They can interbreed to form fertile offspring and the offspring can pollinate and produce viable offspring
18 of 22
What is meant by genetic diversity?
variety of alleles in a gene pool
19 of 22
Two ways in which the skin flora can help protect a person from infection?
COmpetition for nutrients, competition for space
20 of 22
How is oxygen gained from light dependent stages?
Photoysis of water
