photosynthesis as possible can take place.
Quick Test 2 Diffusion and Osmosis
1) Diffusion is the net movement of a substance/particles down a concentration
gradient.
2) The movement of carbon dioxide into the leaf cell for photosynthesis.
3) The movement of oxygen into our cells from respiration.
4) The greater the concentration difference the greater the diffusion rate.

water until it cant handle it anymore and bursts.
10)
It is the movement of a substance along/against/up a concentration
gradient.
Quick test 3. Photosynthesis
1) A plant needs carbon dioxide, water and light (as a catalyst) for
photosynthesis.
2) Glucose and oxygen
3) It is used for the Cellulose cell wall, it is used for making proteins and it is
also converted into insoluble starch.
4) Light, carbon dioxide, and temperature are the limiting factors for
photosynthesis.
5) The plant regenerates energy by
6) To prevent water from moving excessively in cells through osmosis during
winter.
7) The roots absorb it from the ground and transport it using the xylem vessels
8) Carbon dioxide enters through tiny holes in the stomata.
9) Chlorophyll is a green substance found in the chloroplasts and is used for
absorbing light energy for photosynthesis.
10)
Plants carry out respiration all the time.

Quick Test 4 Enzymes and respiration

1) Aerobic respiration is the process that provides energy for the body during
work.
2) Carbon Dioxide and water are waste products of respiration.
3) It comes from the surroundings.
4) The wash would be quicker with a high temperature as the rate of the active
site hitting the substrate would be quicker.
5) Enzymes are biological catalysts.
6) Enzymes are made up of an active site and substrate.
7) Factors that affect enzyme activity are: ph and temperature.
8) Proteases are used to pre-digest protein in baby food.
9) Respiration takes place in the mitochondria.
Quick Test 5 Enzymes and the Digestive System.
1) Amylase is produced in the pancreas.
2) Bile has two functions: It neutralizes the stomach acid so enzymes in the
small intestine can work properly and it acts on fats breaking it up into small
droplets.
3) Emulsification in the digestive system is the breaking down of fats into small
droplets.
4) Food is absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine.
5) The pancreas produces lipase, protease and amylase enzymes.
6) Glycerol and fatty acids are the soluble products of fat digestion
7) Protease enzymes break down proteins into amino acids which are used for
growth and repair.
8) The Pancreas, Small intestine, and the stomach are the organs that produce
enzymes.
9) Bile is stored in the liver.
10)
Gastric juices are juices that contain protease enzymes and
hydrochloric acid to help break down food. The hydrochloric acid is useful for
an enzyme called pepsin to work.
Quick Test 6 Controlling the body
1) Blood vessels at the surface of the skin widen this allows more blood the
flow towards the surface. It is called vasodilation.
2) This is because the sweat evaporates and takes away heat energy.
3) When you get cold the body routes blood away from the skin and into the
core of the body instead. With less red blood near the skin it will look
paler.
4) Fred Banting discovered insulin.
5) The liver converts the excess glucose into glycogen.
6) Glucagon is the hormone that raises blood sugar levels.
7) Insulin is the hormone that lowers blood sugar levels.
8) Genetic engineering can be used to treat diabetes.

Mendel died in 1884.

Mendel studies pea plants.
Red flowers were the dominant characteristic in Mendels experiment.
White flowers were the recessive characteristic in Mendels experiment.
Recessive means it is the weaker allele and only has on effect in the
homozygous recessive condition.
6) We know call these factors for each feature genetics.
7) Monohybrid inheritance is the inheritance of single characteristics.
8) The phenotype of an organism is what the organism physically looks like.
9) A true breeding organism, is an organism that always passes down a certain
phenotypic trait to its offspring.
10)
The plant is Homozygous with 2 identical alleles.

The organism with RR genotype is homozygous.

The person with blue eyes is a phenotype bb
An organism with two separate alleles is heterozygous.
The child of the two parents with homozygous recessive blue eyes would not
have blue eyes.
The genotype of a brown eyed dominant characteristic child would be Bb.
The test we use to find out the genotype of an individual is :
The child would have brown hair as brown is the dominant characteristic.
The genotype for the child would be Bb.

Mitosis produces two daughter cells.

There are 46 chromosomes in each cell.
Mitosis is used for the growth and replacement of all cells.
The chromosomes are made up of DNA.
Asexual reproduction involves only 1 parent.
No asexual reproduction does not produce any variation in individuals.
It produces genetically identical individuals to the parent.
Stem cells are cells that have yet to specialize in a specific tissue.
Stem cells is found in adult bone marrow or human embryos and the
umbilical cord.

The human genome contains 3 billion base pairs of DNA.

4) A 50% chance that the first child will be a boy.
5) A 50% chance that the first child will be a girl.
6) The XY chromosome is male.
7) The egg cell of a cat would have
chromosomes.
8) The babys sex would be female.

The chromosomes number is restored to 46 by
Quick test 11 Genes, Chromosomes and DNA.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international scientific
research project with the goal of determining the sequence of chemical base
pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the
genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint.
