bio Flashcards
what is the equation for Aerobic respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
What do you use to test for starch?
Iodine
What do you use to test for sugar?
Benedict’s solution
What do you use to test for Lipids/Fats?
Ethanol
What do you use to test for protein?
biuret test
what is the equation for Anaerobic respiration?
C6H12O6 —> C3H6O3 (+energy)
what is the equation for Fermentation/Yeast?
C6H12O6 —> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
Oxygen + Glucose —> Carbon Dioxide + Water
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
Glucose —> Lactic acid + energy
what is the word equation for fermentation/yeast?
Glucose —> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
where does blood from the vena cava flow into the heart?
right atrium
what is mitosis needed for in multi cellular organisms?
Cell division by mitosis is important in the growth and development of multicellular organisms
how do bacteria cells reproduce?
Bacteria multiply by a type of simple cell division known as binary fission
How often do bacteria cells multiply in ideal conditions?
In the right conditions, some species of bacteria (such as coli) can multiply as much as once every 20 minutes
What is a stem cell?
A stem cell is an undifferentiated cell
what is binary fission?
it is the mitosis of the bacteria
what is diffusion?
substance or gas going from high too low concentration
what is osmosis?
diffusion of water through either high too low or low too high via permeable membrain
what is active transport?
Transports substances from a low concentration to a high concentration up the concentration gradient. this requires intervention ( plants or animals do this intentionally)
how does the blood travel through the heart?
it comes from the lungs, it goes to the vena cava and enters right atrium and then the right ventricle and exits out the pulmonary artery and for the left it enters from the pulmonary vein and goes to the left atrium and then left ventricle then it exits out of the aorta the heart is swapped (Left is right and right is left)
translocation
Phloem tissue transports dissolved sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant for immediate use or storage
Transpiration
Water travels up xylem from the roots into the leaves of the plant to replace the water that has been lost due to transpiration. Lost through stemata.
Virus
measles, HIV, Tobacco mosiac virus
Bacteria
salmonella, Gonorrhoea
