Q

Conditions reqired for enzymes to do they best

A

Temperature (higher temp increase the rate, not too hot, optimum temp)
pH
if one of them is too higher or low and not inside the optimum temp pH, the shape at the active site will change and the enzymes will become denatures it)

Q

Left ventricle

A

Pumps oxygenated blood around all the others organs of the body. The blood give oxygen to the body cells and deoxygenated blood returns to the heart to be pumped out to the lungs again

Q

Arteries

A

Carry the blood away from the heart (high pressure blood), strong, elastic and thick walls by having elastic fibrous and thick layer of muscle

23
Q

Capillaries

A

Involve in the exchange of materials at the tissues, thin and too small to see, very close to the cell, permeable wall and only one wall thick

24
Q

Veins

A

Carry the blood to the heart (low pressure), larger lumen (middle hole), have valves to prevent the blood from flowing to the wrong direction

25
3 types of blood vessels
Arteries, Capillaries, Veins
26
4 types of blood cells
Red blood cell, white blood cell, platelets, plasma
27
Red blood cell
Carry oxygen from lungs to all cells in the body Large surface area Don’t have a nucleus Contain haemoglobin (where the blood are stored in the cell) +oxy when contained oxygen
28
White blood cell
Defend against infection Can change shape to engulf unwelcome microorganisms, process called phagocytosis Can produce antibodies and antitoxins Do have a nucleus
29
Platelets
Help blood clot Small fragments of cell, no nucleus Stop bleeding and stop microorganism to get into the body Make blood solid
30
Plasma
Liquid that carries everything in blood Carries red and white blood cells , platelets, nutrients like glucose and amino acid, carbon dioxide, urea, hormones, protein, antibodies, and antitoxins
31
Cardiovascular disease
Disease of heart or blood vessels
32
Coronary heart disease
When coronary arteries start supply blood to the muscle of the heart gets blocked by a layer of fatty material building up This caused the artery to become narrow, so blood flow is restricted, and there’s a lack of oxygen to the hot muscle , this can result in a heart attack
33
Stents
tube that insert inside the artery to keep them open so that blood can pass through, effective long time and recovery time from surgery is quick, but there is a risk of complication during the operation and risk of infection, also the rest of patient fell around blood clot near the stents (thrombosis)
34
Treatment for Connery heart disease
Stents, statins
35
Statins
Drug that reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood, slows down the rate of fatty deposits forming. They can also increase the amount of good cholesterol, May also help prevent some other disease Cholesterol essential lipids that the body produce. Dis: Long-term drug that must take regularly May cause negative side effects Effect isn’t instant take time for it to kick in
36
Artificial heart
Temporary Less likely to get rejected by body because it is make out of metal and plastic Risk of bleeding and inflection during surgery Part of the artificial heart can fail or be worn out, will cause blood colt and lead to strokes Have to take drugs to prevent blood colt
37
Replacing heart valve
Valve can be weaken or damaged by heart attack, infection or old age It affects the valve so it will not do it job properly, not open or leaks so the blood can go both ways It could be replaced by both human and mammals (biological) or a mechanical valve
38
Artificial blood
It is a blood substitute (saline, a salt solution ) which is use to replace the lost volume of blood. Give patient enough time to regenerate the blood cell they lost
39
Communicable diseases
Can spread between living organisms (Bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi)
40
Non-communicable disease
Cannot be spread Last for a long time and get worse slowly
41
Factor that effect your health
Good/balanced diet Stress Life situation (availability to medical help or living conditions)
42
Risk factor
Increase the chances and likelihood for someone to get a disease (some could be directly to one disease) Example: Lifestyle (locally, nationally or globally) Substance in the environment or substance produce by the body Smoking (lung disease) Obesity (type 2 diabetes) Alcohol (liver) Radiation and exposure to substances (cancer) Doing these things while pregnant (effect the baby)
43
Correlation
It is use to identify risk factors but it might not work in some person or type of disease
44
Cancer
An uncontrolled growth and division of changed cell with result in a tumor (a mass of cell)
45
2 type of tumor
Benign (not cancerous, stay in one place, grow until there is no room, will not invade other tissues) Malignant (will grow and spread to neighboring healthy tissues, cells can break off and spread, it cold attack somewhere else in the body and form a second tumor, dangerous , are cancer)
46
Risk factor for developing cancer
Smoking Obesity UV exposure Viral infection (some viruses) Genetics (mutated genes)
47
Epidermal tissue
Cover the whole plant
48
Palisade mesophyll tissue
Part of leaf where photosynthesis take place
49
Spongy mesophyll tissue
Transport thing like water or food around the plant X- food, both ways, translocation P- water, only one way, transpiration stream
50
Meristem tissue
Find at the grow part of the plant like roots, can change(differentiate) into any type of plant cell, allow it to grow
51
Transpiration+stream
The loss of water from the plant Evaporation and diffusion, mostly happen on leaf Creates a shortage of water so more water is transported to the part and replaced the loss one The movement of water to replace the losses one is called transpiration stream
52
Rate of transpiration
Light intensity (brighter, greater) Temperature (warmer, faster) Air flow (better , greater) Humidity (drier, faster) A+H higher concentration of water particles outside than inside the leaf Diffusion happen quickly from high to low concentration
53
Guard cell
Controlling water loss and gas exchange from the leafs Open when it sense light, close without light (stomata )
