1
Q

cloning

A

-nucleus removed from egg
- nucleus from body cell inserted into egg cell
- egg cell given an electric shock to make it divide
- embryo is genetically identical to the body cell taken from the organism they wanted to clone

Q

how to genetically engineer pigs to produce organisms not rejected by humans

A
  • identify gene for human tissue
  • isolate the gene
  • insert into a pig embryo
  • replicate cell
  • check they have the gene (antibiotic)

Q

why is cloning animals more difficult than cloning plants

A
  • animal cells cant differentiate - lose ability early
  • plants retain the ability throughout their life

Q

how number of air bubbles changes as distance between lamo and beaker increases

A
  • as distance increase light intensity decreases
  • light intensity decreases there is less energy for photosynthesis
  • light will not fall to zero

Q

why keep methane below 10%

A

so it doesnt explode

22
Q

why illegal drugs are in different classes

A
  • show their danger
  • different punishments for owning/selling
23
Q

saturated fats

A

cause cholesteral build up narrowing arteries and reducing blood flow

24
Q

asthma attack

A
  • lining of airways inflamed
  • fluid builds up
  • muscles around broncioles contract
  • airways narrow
25
Q

why sterelise equiptment

A
  • so no HARMFUL bacteria is transfered into food
26
Q

how is malaria spread

A
  • mosquitoes suck infected blood
  • pass plasmodium into new human
27
Q

virus structure

A
  • protein outer layer
  • contains genetic material
28
Q

first class proteins

A

contin essential amino acids

29
Q

why high blood pressure and cholesteral build up is dangerous

A
  • saturated fats - build up cholesteral - caues plaque deposits - narrows arteries
  • increasing heart attack risk
  • hugh pressure - bursts vessles - can cause brain damage /strokes
30
Q

hwo does smoking affect bronci lining

A
  • causes cancer in cells
  • damages cilia so they cant remove mucus
31
Q

begin

A

harmless cancer

32
Q

maligant

A

harmful and causes tumours

33
Q

commensalism bacteria

A

not harmful on the skin surface - outcompete pathogenic bacteria

34
Q

antibiotic

A

chemcial made by microbes that kills bacteria

35
Q

what about the lichen could children measure to asses pollution

A
  • identify types of lichen - find out their sensitivity to pollution
36
Q

biomass transfer efficiency

A

amount transfered /amount available x100
or biomass in a higher level/ biomass in lower x100

37
Q

order of levles in an ecosystem

A

individual, population, community, ecosystem

38
Q

how antibodies destroy proteins

A

complementary so bind to it and it can then be engulfed by phagocytes

39
Q

why female flies suck animal blood

A

it contains protein they need to make eggs

40
Q

how to treat breast cancer

A
  • remove ovaries
  • stop cell division eg chemo
41
Q

hwo to use a biological key

A

to identify species of plant

42
Q

process that show decrease in biomass

A

egestion respiration and excretion

43
Q

why dont destroy marshes

A
  • rare habitat
  • plants in them will go extinct
44
Q

what factor effects germination

A

temp

45
Q

why bigger pieces = faster decomposition

A
  • larger SA
  • more room for decomposition/feeding of micro-organisms
46
Q

similarity between selective breeding and natural selection

A

only some organisms reproduce

47
Q

why seal with small strips of tape when growing bacteria

A

reduce the chance of anaerobic bacteria growing

48
Q

how to plants absorb nitrogen

A

nitrate ions

49
Q

phylogenetics

A

study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.

50
Q

3 domains

A

archea
bacteria
eukarya

51
Q

which scienist developed the 3 domains

A

carl woese

52
Q

recombinant plasmid

A

a plasmid into which a foreign DNA fragment or gene has been inserted
