    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
