B2 - Organisation
Enzymes
Active site: binds to substrate, only fit specific ones: "lock and key"
if denatured, it means active site has changed shape, can no longer produce a reaction
Proteins, biological catalysts
-
digestion
-
main enzymes
amylase: breaks down starch into simple sugars,
made in pancreas, salivary glands
actions sites: mouth, small intestine
-
-
bile
-
alkaline so neutralises stomach acids so the enzymes in the small intestine can operate at the optimum pH
-
tests for food molecules
proteins: biuret, will turn purple
sugar: benedict's + heat, will turn green, yellow or red
starch: iodine, will go blue-black
lipids: ethanol, shake, cloudy emulsion
Circulatory System
Blood vessels
capillaries
smaller arteries, pass close to body cells
waste products like CO2 move out the cells and into the blood, food and oxygen moves from blood to cells
-
-
-
heart
structure
-
-
-
Blood entering the heart through the right atrium is deoxygenated and comes from the body. Blood entering the heart through the left atrium is oxygenated and comes from the lungs.
when the heart beats, 1. blood enters the heart via the atria, 2.atria contract, forcing blood down into the ventricles below, 3. ventricles contract which forces blood to exit the heart
-
-
blood
a tissue, made up of plasma fluid
white blood cells
-
can chnage shapet to squeeze through walls of blood vessels into tissues to engulf harmful microorganisms
red blood cells
haemoglobin binds with then carries the oxygen from lungs to the body cells and used for respiration
Biconcave shape
small, can pass through capillaries
-
platelets
no nucleus, responsible for triggering blood clotting at wound sites
-

Plant Tissues, Organs & Systems
Plant Organs
-
-
leaves
palisade mesophyll: below upper epidermis, exposed to alot of sunlight, lots of chloroplasts
stomata: found in lower epidermis, gaps between guard cells, used for diffusion of gases in and out of the leaf
spongy mesophyll: contains air spaces, help with gas exchange
-
-
Transpiration
root hair cells absorb water from soil via osmosis, mineral ions are taken up by active transport
-
-
factors: light intensity, humidity, temperature
-
Tissues
Xylem cells are DEAD so they have a low resistance to water. they have no end walls. LIGNIN helps strengthen and water proof cells
root hair cells: lots of mitochondria for active transport, long projections for large surface area
Translocation
Phloem: made up of columns of elngated cells that have holes in their end walls which allow cell sap to pass between cells
-
dissolved sugars movement, produced in photosynthesis
-
Stomata
-
when there is lots of water, the plant opens stomata to allow gases to move in and out of leaf. when there is no water, they close to prevent further water loss
