  • What is the resolution of a microscopic?

    The ability of a microscopic to distinguish fine detail of a image
  • Why is electron microscope used instead of a light microscope
    An electron microscope has a higher resolution
  • What equation is used to calculate magnification?
    Magnification =image/actual
  • Where in cell would u find chromosomes?
    Nucleus

    Chemical reactions take place here
  • Function of mitochondria?
    site of cell respiration.
  • function of membrane?

    Allows things to enter and leave cell
  • Function of nuclear membrane?
    surrounds nucleus

    cancer of white blood cells
  • Where are white blood cells produced?
    Bone marrow
  • Describe the two stages of the treatment of leukaemia using stem cells
    First using chemotherapy and radio station to destroy the cancerous wbc. Second stage transparent of bone marrow stem cells.
  • List the risks involving leukaemia treatment
    Chemotherapy and radiotherapy destroy the patient healthy WBC to leave them with no immune system. Transfer of diseases or viruses from other animals.

  • What is diffusion?
    Movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration
  • Give examples of substances transported by diffusion
    Oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, dissolved nutrients molecules
  • What is three factors of the fact of the rate of diffusion
    Temperature, surface area and concentration gradient
