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
More surface area (more space for diff)
Temperature (more ke = faster moving particles
Concentration (larger gradient, faster rate)
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
