B2-organisation Flashcards
(53 cards)
Describe the principles of organisation
Cells-basic building blocks of all living organisms
Tissue-a group of cells working together to perform the same function
Organ-a group of tissues working together to perform the same function
Organ system-a group of organs working together to perform the same function
Organism-An organ system working together to form organisms
Cell->tissue->organ->organ system->organisms
Relate enzymes to metabolism
Enzymes speed up the numerous chemical reactions that occur within an organism making it essential for metabolism. metabolism includes all the processes that allow food to be turned into energy.
Describe an enzyme is
Enzymes are made up of proteins. These are made up of amino acids enzymes are biological catalyst, meaning the speed of reaction without being used up they lower the activation energy. breaks down large food, molecules and join small ones.
The activity is complimentary and specific to the corresponding substrate
The workplace that optimum temperature in pH
Pepsin-2
Salivary amylase-6
Alkaline phosphate-9
What is meant by denatured
When an active site loses its native shape and no longer works due to various different factors. The enzymes active site is no longer the shape it used to be.
Describe the lock and key hypothesis
The enzyme is the lock and the substrate (large food molecule) is the key. The substrate fits into the enzymes active site
Only certain substrates will fit in certain enzymes. (Active sites shapes r complimentary) That’s why it is School, the locking key model.
The substrate binds with the enzyme. This is known as an enzyme substrate complex like a lock and key.
The substrate breaks down (bonds are broken) into a smaller soluble molecule .(products release)
The enzyme is not free to catalyse more reactions
Explain the changing PHO temperature has an enzyme action
To high the temperature denatures the enzyme
Too low of a temperature makes enzyme activity decrease do to reduce kinetic energy
To extreme of a pH of denature, the enzyme
High concentration of enzymes lead to an increase in activity
37 which is body temp-opt
Describe the graph of how temperature effects enzyme activity
LOPSIDED SLOPE
beginning slow rise-not enough energy
Peak-optimum temp
Falling down-denatured-reduction in activity as enzyme is damaged by heat
Past optimum temperature is the active site changes shape
Explain the graph of help affects enzyme activity
A NORMAL SLOPE
Beginning-slowly rising-denatured
Peak-optimum PH
Falling slowly-denatured
Amylase-breaks down /into produced works
Breaks down starch
Into glucose (smaller, sugar molecules)
Produced in slavery, glands and pancreas
Works in salivary glands and small intestine
Carbohydrase-breaks down/into produced works
Break down carbohydrates
Into sugars (such as glucose)
Produced in the salivary glands, pancreas and small intestine
Works in pancreas and saliva glands
Protease break down/into produced work
Break down proteins
Into amino acids
Produced in the pancreas and stomach small intestine
Where in the stomach and small intestine
Lipase breakdown/into produced work
Breaks down, lipids (fats)
Into fatty acids and glycerol
Produced in the pancreas and small intestine
Work in small intestine
What are the products of digestion, used for
Used to build new carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Some glucose is used in respiration.
What is bile and what is it used for?
Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It is alkaline to neutralise hydrochloric acid from the stomach. It also emulsifies fat to form small droplets which increase the surface area. The alkaline conditions and large surface area increase the rate of fat break down by lipase.
What is the word equation for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide + water——->glucouse + oxygen
What is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Glucose + oxygen ———> carbon dioxide+ water
Describe how you would carry out the food test for glucose (sugar)
Cover food sample in Benedict’s reagent
(If food is solid it needs to be dissolved)
Please in a warm water bath above 75°C .
If it turns from blue to (yellow or green) brick red glucose is present
Describe how you would carry out the food test for starch
Please, your food sample in a spotting tile. Cover the food sample with a few drops of iodine. If it turns from brown orange to black blue starch is present.
Describe how you would carry up the food test for protein
Add your food sample into a test tube and cover it with Biuret solution.
(If food is solid then dissolve)
If it turns from blue to purple, lilac protein is present .
Describe how you would carry out a food test for lipids (fats)
Add to food sample into a test tube with ethanol and shake thoroughly to dissolve any lipids present. Add add the ethanol and food sample into a test tube of cold water. If it turns from clear to cloudy white ethanol is present.
Describe each part of the digestive system
Mouth-mechanically, breaks down food
Salivary glands -produces amylase
Oesophagus
Liver-produces bile
Gallbladder -Stores bile
Stomach-churns up food, stomach acid (HCL) kills bacteria. Provide environment for protease to work in
Pancreas -produces enzymes (protease,amylase and lipase)
Small intestine-move is glucose, ions to blood. Large surface area villi 7 m long.
Large intestine -removes excess water
Rectum-stores faeces
Anus-get rid of food waste from body
Describe the ventilation system
Mouth
Trachea-windpipe
Lung
Rib -protects lungs
Intercostal muscle -allows of ribs to expand
Heart -pumps blood
Bronchus -branch of trachea
Bronchioles-branch of bronchus
Alveoli -where gas exchange happen-large surface area
Diaphragm -move up and down to bring in an out
THORAX
ABDOMEN
What is the function of the lungs and heart?
Heart-to pump blood thoughout body providing O removing CO. Double circulatory system.
Lungs-let you breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide
Describe the heart structure and parts functions
Right ventricle-pumps blood to the lungs, where gas exchange takes place
Left ventricle -pumps blood around the rest of the body
Right atrium
Left atrium
Vena cava -returns deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart
Aorta-carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body
Pulmonary artery-carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
Pulmonary vein-carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
Valves -open and shut to allow blood flow in One Direction
Pace makers-help control abnormal heart rhythms (group of cells) in right atrium.produce small electric impulses around 70bpm
Artificial can be put in if individual had an irregular heartbeat
Coronary arteries-supply oxygenated blood to the heart
Left side has really large muscle because right side only need to pump blood to the lungs which are close by, but the left pumps to the whole body
