(51 cards)
What’s the solution for sugars
Benedicts
What would be the colour change when adding iodine to starch
Orange to blue/black
What group is the emulsion test for
Lipids
What is the enzyme for protein
Protease
What are lipids broken down into
Glycerol/fatty acids
What is protein broken down into
Amino acids
Where is amylase produced
Salivary glands/pancreas
Describe the test for proteins
Biuret solution added it will go from blue to purple if protein is present
Enzyme for starch and what is it broken into
Amylase and maltose
What’s the small intestines function in the digestive system
Absorb soluble molecules
What is a tissue
A group of similar cells working together
What’d the function of bile
Kill bacteria and provide optimum ph
How does the respiratory system work
Air moves down the trachea into the brochi then bronchioles ending up in the alveoli where it diffuses into blood vessels
One adaptation of alveoli
Large surface area
What’s a eukaryotic cell
Cell with a nucleus
What are 2 features bacteria cells have that eukaryotes don’t have
Plasmid- shares genetic info
Flagelum- movement
Name a specialized cell and 2 adaptations of it
Sperm-many mitochondria for respiration , long tail for swimming
Nerve cell- many mitochondrial to supply energy, lots of extensions so it can connect with other cells
Muscle cells- they can store glycogen which is used in respiration, specialized proteins that allow muscles to contract
Where may you find stem cells
Embryo and bone marrow
What is osmosis
Diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from high to low concentration
What is Active transport
Movement of dissolved molecules in or out of a cell through the membrane from low to high concentration
What is diffusion
The spreading out of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
Explain the steps of vaccination
1 weakened/dead pathogen injected into body
2 wbc produce antibodies which neutralise the pathogen
3 your body stores memory cells so you remember how to produce the antibodies next time prompting your immune response
What is a monoclonal antibody
Antibody specific to a pathogen
Define a pathogen
A virus or other microorganism that can cause disease
