Q

What is the role do the permanent vacuole?

A

At the permanent vacuole the cell sap is stored and helps to keep the cell firm and rigid

Q

Role of the chloroplast

A

The chloroplast contains the chlorophyll which traps the energy firm the sun.

The energy trapped is used for photosynthesis

Q

Specialized cells are made through a process called differentiation.

What is differentiation?

Study These Flashcards
A

Differentiation is where an unspecialized cell turns into a very specific cell with a specific function and specific adaptations

19
Q

Bacterial cells:

Bacteria have a simple cell structure. Like animal and plant cells, they have a cell membrane surrounding the cytoplasm.

What are the differences between bacterial cells and animal and plant cells?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • some bacteria have a flagellum to hell them move
  • bacteria cells do not have a nucleus
  • instead they have a single loop of chromosomal DNA that lies free in the cytoplasm
  • some bacteria have extra circles of DNA called PLASMID DNA.
20
Q

What is the equation to calculate magnification

Study These Flashcards
A

Magnification (M)=image size (I)
——————-
Real size ( R)

21
Q

Define enzymes

Study These Flashcards
A

Enzymes are biological catalysts. They speed up reactions that occur in the cell. Without them reactions would occur too slowly for us to be alive

22
Q

What is amylase

Study These Flashcards
A

Amylase is a type of enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller sugars and ja found in the saliva and the small intestine.

23
Q

What are catalase?

Study These Flashcards
A

Catalase are a type of enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide made in the cells into oxygen and water

It is found in most cells especially liver cells

24
Q

What is protein made up of

Study These Flashcards
A

Long chain of amino acids

25
What is starch synthase?
It is a type of enzyme that is found in plants. It’s unction is the synthesis of starch from glucose
26
What is DNA polymerase
It is a type of enzyme found in the nucleus and it’s function is the synthesis of starch from glucose molecules
27
What are enzymes made of?
Amino acids as they are proteins
28
Why is the shape of an enzyme important?
The shape is important and it has direct effect on how it catalyze a reaction.
29
Why do enzymes have different shapes?
An enzymes shape is determined by the sequence of amino acids in the structure and the bonds which form between the atoms of those molecules. Different types of enzymes have different shapes and functions because the order and type of amino acid in their structure is different.
30
What are the substances that enzymes work on?
The substances that enzymes work on are called the substances and the substances produced are called products
31
Why do enzymes speed up reactions
Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy of a reaction activation energy is the minimum energy needed to start a reaction
32
What are digested enzymes
Digestive enzymes are produced by specialized cells these enzymes pass out of the cells and into the stomach and small intestine hear the enzymes help to break down large food molecules into smaller ones that are more easily absorbed
33
What is the lock and key model
The lock and key model is a way we can represent synthesis and the breaking down of substrates by enzymes
34
When the substrate binds to the active site what does it form
This form is the enzyme substrate complex
35
What is a substrate
The initial substance which an enzyme acts on
36
What is the product
The product is the substance that is or are made by the enzyme after the reaction
37
What does it mean to denature
To destroy the characteristic properties affecting the active site
38
What is the active site
The active site is the enzyme region that binds to the substances during a reaction
39
What is Synthesis
Synthesis is producing a substance from one or more substrates
40
What is digestion
Breaking down substances into smaller products
41
What are optimum conditions
The optimal pH or temperature is the level at which the rate of reaction taking place is at its highest
42
What is diffusion | diffusion is the movement of a fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
diffusion is the movement of a fluid from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
43
What is the collision theory
For a chemical reaction to happen the reactants particles must collide with each other on the particles must have enough energy to react
