    • What type of reproduction does malaria use in a mosquito?
      Sexual
    • What type of pathogen causes malaria?
      Protist
    • The phloem transports amino acids and sugars
    • The phloem transports amino acids and sugars in plants
    • What does DNA stand for?
      Deoxyribonucleic acid
    • A vasectomy is an example of surgical contraception.
    • In the palisade mesophyll tissue, most photosynthesis takes place.
    • Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) are produced when a mouse is injected with an antigen.
    • In genetic engineering, enzymes isolate the gene, and it is transferred to a plasmid or virus to act as a vector to an organism.
    • Plants make amino acids fom the nitrates they absorb.
    • Lamarck's theory of evolution was discredited as it didn't have a genetic basis.
    • In green plant cells, the cell wall is made of the carbohydrate cellulose.
    • Phagocytosis is when white blood cells engulf bacteria and other pathogens
    • Lymphocytes are combined with a particular kind of tumour cell to make a cell called a hybridoma cell.
    • A disadvantage of using monoclonal antibodies as treatment is that they create side effects.
    • Soluble substances can move into or out of cells by diffusion
    • What type of organism is Penicillium?

      Fungi
    • Bacteria reproduce using binary fission
    • Some plant cells contain oil droplets which store glucose.
    • A plant's growth is stunted. Which mineral ion is it lacking?

      Nitrate ions
    • At a synapse, neurotransmitters are released by one neurone to cause an impulse in another.
    • Epidermal tissue is found covering the surface of leaves.
    • Efficacy describes how well a drug cures an illness or improves symptoms.
    • Nitrates allow plants to make proteins
    • Translocation moves sugars around the plant
    • Cellular differentiation is when cells specialise in an organism.
    • Statins are prescribed drugs that lower cholesterol in the blood.
    • Tissue - a group of cells that possess a similar structure and perform a specific function
    • Give an example it a strain of bacteria that has developed antibiotic resistance
      MRSA
    • Meiosis only occurs in the sexual organs
    • Carl Richard Worse developed the three domain system of classification
    • The three adaptations organisms have can be categorised into structural, behavioural and functional (physiological).
    • Predator prey cycles are the cyclical increase and decrease of predator and prey populations over time.
    • Carl Worse created the three domain classification system: archaea, bacteria and eukaryta
    • Ribosomes synthesise proteins
    • Lymphocytes are produced when a mouse in injected with antigens
    • Blood flowing through the muscles transports lactic acid to the liver where it is converted back into glucose.
    • Protease is also called pepsin
    • Enzymes work best for humans at 37°C
    • Plant enzymes work at 6 - 10°C
