Study Notes
Chapter 2.2: Cells
- Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy.
- Mitochondria are sites of aerobic respiration, creating ATP for cell energy. A larger cell may have protected a smaller one, exchanging glucose (and energy).
- Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis. Viruses consist of nucleic acid and a protein coat, the coat being manufactured by host cell ribosomes.
- Viral reproduction requires ATP, which is created within the host cell's mitochondria.
- Bacterial cells have a cell wall and a capsule layer outside it.
Chapter 3
- Osmosis in mangoes: Mango slices swell in water because water potential in the water is higher than in the mango's tissue. Water moves into the mango, through osmosis.
- Osmosis in warm water: Mango slices swell faster in warm water due to the higher kinetic energy of water molecules.
Chapter 4
-
Diffusion vs. osmosis vs. active transport: A table outlining the key differences between these processes. Factors like random movement, partially permeable membranes, concentration gradients are discussed. A partially permeable membrane is necessary for osmosis.
-
Diagram analysis: Describe a diagram of cell processes.
-
Starch is an energy storage molecule in plants. Glucose is used in respiration in plants and animals.
-
Benedict's solution tests: Benedict's solution is added to a sample, heated to at least 80°C (using a water bath). Safety goggles/glasses are essential.
-
Lipase activity: Lipase in a test tube digests milk lipids into fatty acids and glycerol (test-tube A in a diagram).
Additional Information
-
Enzyme activity and temperature: Enzymes have optimum temperatures for activity, commonly between 30 and 40°C. Above 50°C, proteins (including enzymes) may denature.
-
Factors affecting enzyme activity: include, but are not limited to amount of substrate, temperature, and pH, potentially affecting the rate of the chemical reaction.

Cellular processes (list):
- Reproduction
- Sensitivity
- Nutrition
- Cytoplasm
- Cell membrane
