Question
Answer
show When Minerals and Ions have to be transported against the concentration gradient (From Low to High Concentration)  
🗑
The energy for Active Transport comes from where   show
🗑
show It contracts and Flattens  
🗑
When you exhale, what happens to the diaphragm   show
🗑
show It decreases  
🗑
show - They have a large surface are to allow for more gaseous exchange (Both CO2 and O2) – The alveoli have a large blood supply, so the gases reach the bloodstream faster – The alveoli are only 1 cell thick, to allow for fast diffusion into the bloodstream  
🗑
What are the adaptations of the Villi to allow for fast diffusion (3 Things)   show
🗑
show They have a large surface area when in water, so the diffused oxygen within the water can be diffused into the gills fast – They don’t work in air because the stick together and the fish suffocates  
🗑
How do insects respire   show
🗑
What is the name of the term for plants losing water vapour   show
🗑
show They have guard cells on the bottom of the leaf also the waxy cuticle is waterproof and gas-proof at night they can’t perform photosynthesis, so the stomata close, locking in the water vapour and gases, reducing the loss of water due to transpiration  
🗑
What conditions increase the rate of transpiration (3 things) and generally, why do they   show
🗑
The loss of water and transport of water through the xylem is called what   show
🗑
show It allows them to reduce their surface area and water loss when they are losing water faster than gaining it, meaning the plant survives  
🗑
What are the 3 main components of the circulatory system   show
🗑
show Double Circulation  
🗑
What are the 2 separate blood systems within the human body   show
🗑
show They transport blood AWAY from the heart, also its how you find your pulse, from them moving due to one pump of blood from the heart, red in colour  
🗑
What do the veins do   show
🗑
show They allow for solutes within the blood to be diffused into the body, they are 1 cell thick to allow for fast diffusion  
🗑
show (Cardiac) Muscle  
🗑
show Plasma  
🗑
show In the Plasma  
🗑
show It is filtered from the blood within the kidneys, where it is diluted to make urine, the other solutes carry on around the blood system  
🗑
What is the function of red blood cells   show
🗑
How are red blood cells adapted for their job   show
🗑
show A lack of iron causes it, it means there is a reduced Red Blood Cell count  
🗑
Cellular respiration formula   show
🗑
What 4 changes happen when you are exercising   show
🗑
What is anaerobic respiration   show
🗑
What is the equation for anaerobic respiration   show
🗑
Why is the breathing rate still high after exercise   show
🗑
Why are the kidneys necessary for cells to live   show
🗑
When the kidneys reabsorb certain minerals and amounts of water, what is this called   show
🗑
How much sugar passes through the kidneys into the urine after exercise and while not doing exercise   show
🗑
show A Dialysis Machine  
🗑
show About 8 hours  
🗑
show It extends their life expectancy compared to kidney failure.  
🗑
What are the disadvantages of dialysis   show
🗑
Where is a transplanted kidney put   show
🗑
What are the names of the drugs given to organ receivers (After the operation) and why are they bad   show
🗑
show About 9 Years  
🗑
show By Diffusion  
🗑
The lungs are in the upper part of the body (___) and are protected by the ____. They are separated from the rest of the body by the ____.   show
🗑
show The breathing system takes AIR out of the body so that OXYGEN from the air can DIFFUSE into the bloodstream and CARBON DIOXIDE can diffuse into and out of the blood.  
🗑
show Through diffusion.  
🗑
show Root Hair cells  
🗑
show They have a flattened shape, and internal air spaces.  
🗑
What controls the stomata?   show
🗑
show Carbon dioxide to the lungs, Soluble products of digestion and urea from the kidneys.  
🗑
show 1) The donor kidney must have the same donor type. 2) Immunosuppressants are used.  
🗑
show It is the theory that life comes from life, i.e. Life cannot just appear, it has to come from somewhere  
🗑
(Yeast/Bacteria)are used in the production of cheese. (Yeast/Bacteria)are used in the production of bread and alcoholic drinks.   show
🗑
Is yeast a single celled organism?   show
🗑
show Without oxygen, yeast can produce carbon dioxide and ethanol, this is called fermentation.In the oxygen, yeast produces carbon dioxide and water.Aerobic respiration provides more energy and is necessary for the yeast to reproduce  
🗑
show The Carbs (Starch) in the barley. This is called malting.  
🗑
show The natural sugars in the grapes.  
🗑
What 3 steps make yoghurt?   show
🗑
show 1) An air supply 2) A Stirrer to maintain the temperature and to keep the microorganisms in suspension. 3) A Water Jacket to remove heat produced by their respiration. 4) Instruments to monitor temperature and pH.  
🗑
show Penicillium, it starts to make penicillin after most of the nutrients it has have been used up.  
🗑
What fungus makes mycoprotein?   show
🗑
show Biogas, or methane.  
🗑
Would waste from sewage works, or sugar factories ever be used in a biogas generator?   show
🗑
What can be produced by the anaerobic fermentation of sugar cane juices and from glucose derived from maize starch by the action of carbohydrase?   show
🗑
What 3 things help to keep petri dishes sterile?   show
🗑
show As it greatly reduces the chance of pathogens forming.  
🗑
In industry, why are temperatures over 25C used?   show
🗑
Apart from faster blood flow, what happens with faster bloodflow?   show
🗑
During excercise, what stores are used?   show
🗑
show They fatigue and become less efficient.  
🗑
Why is anaerobic respiration worse than aerobic respiration?   show
🗑
show 1) It filters the blood 2) It reabsorbs ALL the sugar 3) It reabsorbs all of the ions required by the body 4) It reabsorbs as much water as needed 5) It releases the urea, excess ions and water as urine.  
🗑
show True.  
🗑
show The same concetration, to allow excess ions and water to be removed.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
