  • Prokaryotic cell(bacterial)

    capsule,flagellum,DNA,plasmids,cell wall,cell membrane,ribosomes
  • Eukaryotic cell(animal)
    cell membrane,cytoplasm,nucleus,mitochondria,ribosomes
  • Eukaryotic cell(plant)
    ribosomes,cell wall,cell membrane,mitochondria,,chloroplast,vacuole,
  • Plants and animal cells are multicellular (contain many different types of cells)
  • Red blood cells transport o2, have a bi-concave disc,contain haemoglobin ,mitochondria and ribosomes and have a high surface area.They have no nucleus.
  • Nerve cells- send electrical messages around the body, they have long branches at the end and have a mylen sheath
  • Sperm cell- Has a flagellum to help it swim to the egg, acrosome containing enzymes, to help it penetrate the egg,lots of mitochondria for energy and a nucleus to contain the DNA/chromosomes
  • White blood cells- they fight pathogens and produce antibodies to fight infection
  • Stem cells must replicate to make more stem cells, then differentiate into specialised cells and can become any other type of cell or some types
  • Stem cell replication and differentiation
    A) repliaction
    B) differentiation (e.g, root hair cell)
  • Embryonic stem cells
    any cell type (embryos)
  • Adult stem cells
    bone marrow,can treat blood disorders
  • For
    -cure diseases which have no cure
    -helps people in pain
    -saves endangered species
    -The embryo's technically haven't been born yet
  • Against
    -leads to physical pain
    -Kills embryo's which could've led to a life
    -causes overpopulation
  • Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells.
  • Mitosis cycle
  • m-cm=x100
    cm-mm=x10
    mm-nm=x1000
  • Magnification=size of image/size of real object
  • Light microscope- used to view living specimen,look at specific structures
  • Electron microscope- greater magnification to view dead specimen
  • Diffusion- the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
  • Active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration against a concentration gradient
  • Carbon dioxide goes out and oxygen goes in
  • diffusion and osmosis are passive processes so they dont require any energy
  • Osmosis- net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute to an area of higher solute
  • The rate of diffusion is affected by
    1. More surface area (more space for diff)
    2. Temperature (more ke = faster moving particles
    3. Concentration (larger gradient, faster rate)
    4. Distance of diff (shorter distance=quicker)
  • Enzymes have optimum conditions in which they work best at, and they are made out of proteins and can denature (change shape)
  • Lock and key
  • Rate of reaction=change of' 'x'/change of time
  • Root hair cells have large surface areas to increase the rate of absorption
  • The rate of diff is the number of particles that pass a given area per unit time
  • Increase in temp increases the enzyme activity, because it gives more kinetic energy so the molecules move faster and collide
  • The heart is a muscular organ which pumps blood around the body
  • Heart
  • right- deoxygenated blood
    left- oxygenated blood
  • veins carry blood to the heart and arteries carry blood away from the heart
  • pulmonary artery- deoxy to lungs
    pulmonary vein - oxyg to body
  • Arteries thicker due to higher pressure and have strong thick walls to withstand high pressure
  • plasma-transports most co2 and the products of digestion
    platelet-helps blood to clot at a wound
    red blood cell-transports most of the o2
    white blood cell-defends the body against microorganisms
  • coronary heart disease- fatty material bulid up in the coronary arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart
