5 things that animals and plant cells both have

Nucleas. Cytoplasm.
Mitochondria (energy making)
Ribosomes (protein made)
Cell membrane (traffic control)

What is only in PLANT cells (3)

Cell wall (cellulose - strength)
Chlorplasts (chlorophyll)
Permanent Vacuole (salt+sugar)

What is diffusion

Random movement of molecules from hight to low concentration. No energy needed

What are the two processes for something to move in and out of cell

Diffusion (no energy)
Osmosis (energy)

2 Growth things needed from soil

Nitrates (for amino acids) (stunts)
Magnesium (chlorophyll) (yellow)

6 uses for glucose in plant

1) Respiration (energy for others)
2) Make fruit
3) Make cell walls (cellulose)
4) Make proteins (+nitrates)
5) Starch for storage (energy)
6) Make seeds (lipid source)

How make food production more efficient?

Crops - not grazing ANIMALS!
Restrict loss of energy from animals

3 examples of diffusion in living cells

1) Carbon dioxide into actively photosynthesising plant cells
2) Sugars and amino acids from gut through cell membranes
3) Glucose into respiring cells (making energy)

What is osmosis

Movement of water across semi-permeable membrane from dilute to more concentrated. Energy

Photosynthesis word equation?

Carbon dioxide + Water

= (light + energy)

Glucose + oxygen

Give 3 specialised cells

White blood
Sperm
Root hair

What is it called when cells develop to carry out a particular job

Differentiation

What is a monoculture

One particular type of crop year on year

Three minerals needed by plants

Magnesium
Potassium
Phosphates

Micoroganisms bring back decayed material. What conditions do they like

Warm, moist, plenty of oxygen

What is returned to the atmosphere when animals respire

carbon dioxide

What does protease convert to what

Proteins to amino acids (i.e. breaks down for later rebuilding)

what does lipase convert to what

Fat to glycerol a d fatty acides

Why are enzymes useful in industrial processes

Speed up reactions without need for high temperatures or pressures

Why does using enzymes in industrial processes cause problems

waste that has to be washed away
Some people have allergies to them - if a product

how do animals adjust water content

Lost in urine, sweat and breathing out
Drink to take in

What causes diabetes. What happens in it

Pancreas not producing enough insulin
Blood sugar goes low.

How to control your diabetes?

Control diet carefully
Exercise after eating carbohydrates
Inject insulin

Banting and Best thought of injecting insulin for diabetes. Got from where

First dogs and pigs
Human insulin by genetic engineering later

What does a gene do

Gives instructions to make (particular) proteins

What is DNA (genetic) fingerprinting?

Cutting up persons DNA into small sections and separating them. Look at pattern. Eg parentage checks

How can stem cells cure anything?

They can replace faulty or missing cells

Where do stem cells come from (apart from embyos)

Bone Marrow

If parents genes are
BB
bb
what possible offspring

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

Ff + Ff
where f is a recessive allele
What outcomes?

FF normal
Ff carrier only
Ff carrier only
ff sufferer (and carrier of course)

Huntingtons is a dominant
Nn carrier/sufferer
nn normal
What is pattern of offspring

Nn sufferer
nn normal
Nn sufferer
nn normal

How is genetic screening done?

Fertilise in laboratory, implant
Before implant, remove a cell
Analyse its genes
Detect problems?

Against embryonic (genetic) screening?

Fashion designing babies
Rejected embyo (cells) destroyed
IMplies genetic disorder weird people

In favour of embyonic (genetic) screening

Stop suffering
Laws stop it going to far
During IVF most embryos destroyed anyway
Treating disorders costs cash
