A species is a group of similar
organisms
that can reproduce to produce
fertile
offspring.

Organisms can be arranged into different groups based on the
internal
and
external
features they share
Aerobic
respiration is the series of chemical reactions in cells that uses
oxygen
to break down nutrient molecules to release energy.
Glucose
+ Oxygen ->
Carbon dioxide
+ water
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ->
6CO2
+ 6H2O
Anaerobic respiration is the series of chemical reactions in cells that breaks down nutrient molecules to release energy without using oxygen.
Glucose ->
lactic acid
C6H12O6
-> 2C2H5OH + CO2 (
yeast- anaerobic
respiration)
Glucose
-> alcohol + carbon dioxide (
yeast
)
The
variable you change is called the
independent
variable
The variable you measure when you change the independent variable is called the
dependant
variable.
The variables you keep the same are called
control
variables
You can reduce the effect of random errors by taking a
repeat reading
and finding the mean. This will make the results more
reliable.
Make sure you're wearing sensible clothing in the lab. Safety
goggles
,
gloves
and a lab coat.

Carbohydrase
)
Made in the
epithelial
cells
Works in the
epithelial
cells

Protease
)
Made in the
stomach
Works in the
stomach
Breaks down
protein
into

Trypsin (
Proteases
)
Made in the
pancreas
Works in the

Lipase (
Lipids
)
Made in the
pancreas
Works in the
duodenum
Breaks down
lipids
to
fatty acids
and
glycerol
