  • highest concentration of glucose and amino acids is always in the capillary leaving the lacteal
  • the middle structure in the cross section of a plant root is xylem and it provides structural support
  • reabsorption of glucose takes place as the filtrate from a glomerulus passes along a nephron
  • to produce a strain of antibiotic bacteria:
    1. some bacteria mutate and are resistant to the antibiotic
    2. the antibiotic kills most of the bacteria
    3. the antibiotic resistant bacteria survive
    4. the antibiotic resistant bacteria reproduce
  • in heterozygous, the sex also has to be the opposite
  • the food group that is chemically digested in the mouth and continues to be broken down by mechanical digestion in the small intestine is carbohydrates
  • hepatic vein is in the liver
  • liver plays a major role in the assimilation of amino acids by converting them to proteins
  • auxin is unequally distributed
  • auxin is made in the root tip and shoots
  • the auxin diffuses across the plant
  • gravitropism helps anchor the plant
  • in the shoots, gravitropism allows more absorption of light
  • hydrochloric acid kills harmful microorganisms and provided optimum ph for enzymes in the stomach such as pepsin
  • fats are emulsified in the small intestine
  • bile increases the surface area of the fat globules
  • zygote moves along the oviduct
  • the zygote has a diploid nucleus and divides and reproduces through mitosis
  • water potential in the blood capillaries increase and contents of the small intestine decrease when affected by cholera
  • during germination of seed, the respiration rate increases, amount of energy increases and ions are absorbed by active transport
  • maltose is digested in the small intestine
  • high humidity lowers the concentration gradient and high wind speed raises the concentration gradient
  • chlorine ions and water exit the epithelial cells of the small intestine when a person is affected by cholera
  • the relay neurone has receptor proteins which bind to neurotransmitter molecules
  • genetic variation is the only type of variation that can be inherited
  • a leaf may be hairy for living in a hot, dry dessert
  • cell membrane is partially permeable
  • the drop of liquid will move towards the woodlice as oxygen is used up and carbon dioxide is released
  • upper epidermis has no chloroplast
  • starch is digested into maltose in the mouth and maltose is converted into glucose in the lining of the small intestine
  • HIV cannot be transmitted by saliva
  • parents with the allele I(A), I (B) and I(o)I(O) produce children with AB
  • dicots have broad leaves
  • shunt vessels are arterioles to venules
  • xylem is a hollow and long tube
  • xylem is also waterproof and has elongated/thickening walls
  • pathway of water:
    • water enters the root hair cells through osmosis, from a high water potential to a low water potential
    • the soil has a higher water potential than the root hair cells
    • ions then actively get transported through a partially permeable membrane
    • this creates a water concentration gradient
    • then it finally reaches the root cortex and finally the xylem
  • xylem vessels are dead and thus treatments for infections have no effect, since osmosis does not rely on energy from respiration either, the treatment has not effect on the plant
  • eye cannot easily detect different colours in the dark because cones detect colours and do not get stimulates in low levels of light
  • all females are heterozygous
