  • 7 life processes

    Movement
    Respiration
    Sensitivity
    Growth MRS GREN
    Reproduction
    Excretion
    Nutrition
  • Animal cells have

    Nucleus
    cytoplasm
    cell membrane
    mitochondria
    ribosomes
  • Plant cells have

    nucleus
    cytoplasm
    cell membrane
    cell wall
    mitochondria
    vacuole
    chloroplasts
  • Nucleus
    Controls cell activity . Contains DNA.
  • Cell membrane

    A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell.
  • Cytoplasm
    A jellylike fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
  • Cell wall

    A rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane and provides support to the cell
  • Permanant vacuole

    Contains cell sap
  • Chloroplast
    Filled with chlorophyl - it is where photosynthesis occurs
  • Mitochondrion
    Powerhouse of the cell (provides energy so that the plant can do its job)
  • micrometer
    1000th of a millimetre
  • 1 micrometre (µm)
    0.001 mm
  • Diffusion
    Movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
  • Osmosis
    diffusion of water
  • Partially permeable
    allowing only certain substances through
  • dilute solution

    a solution that contains a small amount of solute
  • Concentrated solution
    a solution containing a large amount of solute
  • Red bloodcells
    Haemoglobin - Takes oxygen and cobondioxide
  • Unicelular Organism

    an organism made up of only one cell
  • Cells to Organ Systems
    organelles, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
  • Circulatory system
    (aka cardiovascular system)
    Main organ = Heart
    Transport blood around the body from the heart and back
    Carries oxygen and glucose
    Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heart (Oxygenated)
    Veins carry blood TO the heart (deoxygenated)
  • Nervous system

    Main type of cell = neurons
    Neurons contain = Nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane
    bundles up neurons = nerves
    Main organs = spinal cord and brain
    electric signals/messages sent along nerve fibres
  • What organs are in the digestive system

    - Mouth
    - Oesophagus
    - Stomach
    - Small intestine
    - Large intestine
  • How does the digestive system work?

    -In the mouth food is moistened with saliva
    -The salivary glands produce amylase enzyme - break down starch
    -The oesophagus is a tube - takes food to the stomach. Muscle contraction helps food move down
    -The liver is where bile is produced. Bile neutralises stomach acids
    -The stomach. It produces the protease enzymes to break down protein and amino acids. It produces hydrochloric acid to kill bacteria
    -The small intestine produces portease, amylase and lipase enzymes to complete digestion. This is also where the food is absorbed out of the digestive system
    -The large intestine is where excess water is absorbed from the food
  • Lipase enzyme

    breaks down fats into fatty acids and glycerol
  • Protease enzymes
    break down proteins into amino acids
  • Amalase enzymes

    Breaks down starch into sugars
  • Which organ does drinking effect
    Liver
  • Which organ does It effect when not eating enough fibre?
    Intestines
  • Which organ does smoking effect
    Lungs
  • Which organ does too much fat effect
    Heart
  • Villi
    Tiny finger-shaped structures that cover the inner surface of the small intestine and provide a large surface area through which digested food is absorbed
  • Respiratory system

    Brings oxygen into the body. Gets rid of carbon dioxide
    Oxygen and glucose (arrow) Carbon dioxide, Water and energy
  • organs of the respiratory system

    Nose
    Trachea
    Bronchus
    Bronchiole
    Alveolus
    Diaphragm
  • How the respiratory system works

    - Air goes into body via nose/mouth
    - Moves down the trachea
    - Moves down bronchus
    - Moves through bronchioles
    - Moves through alveoli
    - Oxygen then diffuses into BLOOD
  • BREATHING
    Muscles in the chest contract
  • INHALING
    Diaphragm contracts - moves down
    Volume in chest increases
    Pressure in chest decreases
  • EXHALING
    Muscles relaxes
    Diaphragm relaxes
    Volume in chest decreases
    Pressure in chest increases
  • Spirometer
    instrument used to measure breathing
  • Bones in avg human being
