    Bq
  • What is nuclear fission
    The process if 1 larger nucleus splitting into 2 or more
  • What is irradiation
    When an object is exposed to ionising radiation
  • How do we typically start nuclear fission reactions
    By firming neutrons at a material
  • What is radioactive contamination
    The unwanted presence of radioactive atoms on or in an object
  • What is ionisation
    The process of removing electrons from atom to form ions
  • What are the structures of fullerenes made up of
    Rings of carbon atoms usually 6 to a ring
  • What makes nanotube useful
    A high length to diameter ratio
  • What is activity
    Rate at which decay occurs
  • Use of nano particles
    Medicine electronics catalysts
  • What is fullerene
    Molecules made up of carbon atom with Hallow shapes
  • Radiation dose
    Measure if risk of harm to your body due to exposure to radiation

    Halloween tubes strengthened by lignin
  • What is chloroplast filled with
    Chlorophyll
  • Function of gall blader
    To store bile until it is released into small intestine
  • Function of large intestine
    Absorb water from digested food
  • If an animal cell gains a lot of water what happens
    can burst and die
  • 3 plants organic systems
    Leave stems roots
  • From what reaction does the energy required for active transport come
    Respiration
  • Word equation for Photosynthesis
    Carbon dioxide +water >glucose+oxygen
  • What causes random error
    By misreading equipment
  • State the function of the pancreas
    Produces digestive enzymes
  • State the function of the gall bladder
    Stores bile before release into small intestine
  • Name the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach
    Oesophagus
  • Where do you get adult stem cells in animals
    Bone marrow
  • Define Active transport
    The site on an enzyme where the substrate binds
  • Define organ
    A group of tissues working together for specific function
  • What are carbohydrates made up of
    Simple Sugar
  • What are proteins made up of
    Amino acids
  • Why do enzymes stops working past their optimum tempreture
    Denatured substrate can no longer find to active site
  • Define denatured
    Change in shape of active site so substrate no longer fits
  • Where do you get stem cells in plants
    Meristems
  • Define enzyme
    A biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reaction
  • Define metabolism
    Sum of all reactions in a cell body
  • State one medical scientific benefit of therapeutic cloning
    No rejection problem
  • Whay symbol do we use for relative formula mass
    Mr
  • When a metal forms metal oxide why does the mass increase
    Because oxygen atoms have been added
  • Explain why some metals are more reactive than others
    They loose electrons more easily
  • What is the conservation of mass
    Atoms can NOT be created or destroyed
  • When an acid reacts with a metal why does the mass decrease
    Because a gas is produced and escapes
