Q

What is the role of the leaf in a plant?

There’s two

A

The main role of the leaf is to collect sunlight for photosynthesis - to make plants food (glucose)
Another is to allow carbon dioxide out of the leaf and oxygen in.

Phloem
26
Test for Carbon Dioxide
Lime water goes cloudy
27
Test for oxygen
The splint delights itself
28
What does the ammeter measure?
The current
29
Does the current get shared in a parallel circuit?
Yes
30
Does the current get shared in a single circuit?
No
31
How does water dispersal occur?
When the fruit and the seed are able to float along the water source, they’ll germinate in the water or when they reach their destination
32
What name is given to the change of speed that happens between 0 and 4 seconds?
Acceleration
33
What makes a fuel great?
Good cost, abundant, safe, environmentally friendly, transport easily, easily ignited, sustainable, efficiency
34
What causes global dimming?
Carbon (soot)
35
Does monoxide kill?
Yes, it’s toxic
36
What does acid rain kill?
Buildings, forest crops, statues and aquatic animals
37
Name the four seed dispersal
Water Dispersal Animal Dispersal Ejection Dispersal Wind Dispersal
38
What is respiration?
Where the body creates energy so you can make movements
39
What are the 7 terms we use to decide whether something is living or not? MRS GREN
``` Movement Respiration Sensitivity Growth Reproduction Excretion Nutrition ```
40
How do substance enter and exit a cell?
Diffusion
41
Why are bees so important to plants?
They help plants reproduce
42
What does chloroplasts contain?
Chlorophyll
43
Why are leafs green?
Because the chlorophyll from the chloroplasts makes it that colour
44
What is the role of the red blood cell?
To carry more oxygen around the body
45
What is the role of the nerve cell?
To transmit messages from one part of the body to an another
46
What is the role of the egg cell?
They are utilised by female organisms to reproduce offspring
47
What is the role of the sperm cell?
To pass on biological information required to produce a new organism
48
Cells that have features so that they can do particular jobs are called???
Specialised cells
49
What substance do red blood cells carry around the body?
Oxygen
50
Nerve cells can transmit electrical signals because they are???
Long and thin
51
What is the role of the root hair cell?
Allow the plant to absorb more water. They also allow the plant to rake in the minerals in needs to survive.
52
What is inheritance?
Parents pass on their alleles on to offspring
53
What are alleles?
It is a variation of a gene.
54
What is a chromosome?
Thin strands of DNA
55
What is a gene?
A small section of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a protein.
56
Where are chromosomes found?
Nucleus
57
What is photosynthesis?
When the plant makes food for itself
58
Name two highly important reactions that move carbon around the environment

59
Equation for photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + Water ——> Oxygen + Glucose
60
Equation for respiration
Oxygen + Glucose ——> carbon dioxide + water
61
What is Global Warming?
It is the term used to describe a gradual increase in the average temperature of the earth’s atmosphere and its oceans.
62
What are the greenhouse gases?
``` Water vapour Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous oxide Ozone ```
63
What activities do we do that contribute to greenhouse gases
Deforestation Burning Fossil Fuels Distributing fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases Animals emit methane
64
What happens in exothermic and endothermic reactions?

How do humans create global warming?
Because breathe out water vapour and carbon dioxide. We also release methane from our bottom.
