Q

what happens if homeostasis is not maintained in the body?

A

cells may not get the nutrients they need. Toxic waste may accumulate, which may lead to an imbalance that causes disease of death.

Q

RECEPTOR

A

Detects change in the environment – sends input (afferent neurons) towards the control centre.

Q

CONTROL CENTRE

A

Determines the range of values for which a certain variable is maintained. Coordinates an appropriate response by sending out an output (efferent neurons) to the effector.

Q

POSITIVE FEEDBACK

A

The output response enhances the
stimulus.
* Positive - change occurs in the same
direction of the stimulus.
* Cascades - amplify original stimulus.
eg. childbirth

21
Q

mitochondria

A

site of aerobic cellular respiration, which produces ATP for the cell to carry out cellular processes

22
Q

nucleus

A

contains DNA which control cellular functions by coding for protiens

23
Q

plasma cell mebrane

A

sempermiable lipid bilayer that regulates the inputs and out puts of the cell

24
Q

golgi apparatus

A

final modification and packaging of proteins into secretory vesicles

25
lysosomes
contains digestive enzymes for the destruction of unwanted cellular material.
26
centriole
form cillia
27
carbohydrates
- energy storage - monosaccarides, diasaccarides, polysaccarides
28
monosaccarides
glucose galactose fructose
29
Name 3 disaccharides
sucrose maltose lactose
30
polyasaccaride
starch glycogen
31
primary protein structure
sequence of amino acids
32
secondary protien structure
primary structure folded into alpha helices, beta pleted sheets or random folding
33
tertiary protien structure
3D structure composed of folded secondary structure (which determines the function of the protien)
34
quaternary protein structure
2 or more polypeptide chains joined together
35
are lipids soluble or insoluble in water?
insoluble in water
36
draw a triglyceride
37
function of a triglyceride
to store energy/ provide insulation
38
integral proteins
proteins incorporated with in the membrane Used for cellular identification because it spans the entire membrane
39
peripheral protien
associated with inner or outer surface
40
is the phosphate head hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophillic
41
is the fatty acid tails hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
hydrophobic
42
cholesterol
stabilise + regulate fluidity
43
cell differentiation
The process whereby cells assume their specialised function. Cells have different shapes, contents or organelles.
44
muscle cell
TO ALLOW FOR MOVEMENT increased mitochondria + stores glycogen --> energy elongated + elastic --> allows for movement
45
nerve cell
TO CARRY ELECTRICAL SIGNALS long axon --> signal long distances numerous dentides --> recive numerous signals axon terminal --> contol activity
46
RBC
TO CARRY O2 AROUND THE BODY no nucleus + bioconcave --> more haemoglobin to fit in vessels
47
Sperm cells
TO FERTILISE AN EGG Nucleus --> carry genetic information Big head --> burry into egg Flagella – movement Acrosome – enzymes to break outer layer of an egg.
48
tight junction
integral proteins fuse adjacent cells together to prevent molecules from passing between cells.
49
desmosomes
anchoring junctions that act as 'rivet' to keep cells from tearing apart ga
50
gap junctions
communicating junctions to allow ions and small molecules to pass from cell to cell
51
draw a phospholipid bilayer include : - integral protein - peripheral protein - cholesterol - phospholipid - glycoprotien
