Study Notes
Cancer
- Tumours form when cells divide uncontrollably, being either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
- Cancers are malignant tumours, and can be fatal.
- Various risk factors can increase the chance of developing certain cancers.
Growth of Tumours
- Healthy cells have controlled growth and division.
- Changes in DNA lead to uncontrolled cellular division, forming a tumour.
- Cell division by mitosis depends on genes controlling the exact number of cells needed.
Respiration
- Respiration is a vital process for all living organisms.
- Organisms respire aerobically when oxygen is present.
- Organisms respire anaerobically when oxygen is lacking.
- Respiration releases energy through the breakdown of glucose.
- Animals get glucose from the food they consume.
- Plants make glucose via photosynthesis.
Respiration Revision
- In all living things, respiration continuously releases energy.
- Respiration is an exothermic reaction (releases energy).
- Energy is needed to build molecules like proteins.
- It maintains body temperature to keep enzymes working.
- Two types of respiration are aerobic and anaerobic.
Aerobic Respiration
- When there's enough oxygen, cells use aerobic respiration.
- This converts glucose and oxygen into carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- Aerobic respiration is the most efficient way to release energy.
- This process happens in the mitochondria.
Anaerobic Respiration
- When cells lack oxygen, anaerobic respiration occurs.
- In animals, glucose converts to lactic acid and releases energy.
- In plants and yeast, glucose converts to ethanol and carbon dioxide, releasing energy.
- This process is less efficient than aerobic respiration.
Fermentation
- Fermentation is a type of anaerobic respiration in yeast cells.
- It is important in alcoholic drinks and bread production.
- Ethanol is produced through this process, used in alcoholic beverages.
- Carbon dioxide is produced, causing dough to rise.
Metabolism
- Metabolism describes the chemical reactions in a cell or organism.
- Some reactions join smaller molecules to make bigger ones (e.g., glucose and nitrates to form proteins, glucose molecules make starch/cellulose/glycogen, fatty acids and glycerol form lipids).
- Other reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones (e.g., glucose is broken down in respiration, excess protein broken down into urea).
- Enzymes control all these reactions.
Plant Metabolism
- Plants do respiration and photosynthesis.
- Respiration releases energy from glucose.
- Photosynthesis uses light energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
- Glucose can be stored as starch or cellulose.
- Glucose can also react with soil nitrates to make amino acids.
Animal Metabolism
- Animals consume food molecules and break them down.
- Starch breaks down into glucose.
- Proteins break down into amino acids.
- Lipids break down into fatty acids and glycerol.
- Glucose is used for respiration or stored as glycogen.
- Excess amino acids are converted to urea and excreted.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food (glucose).
- This takes place in the chloroplasts.
- It requires light energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
- It produces glucose and oxygen.
- Many things affect the rate of photosynthesis (e.g. light intensity, temperature, carbon dioxide levels).
Exercise and Respiration
- During exercise, muscle cells need more energy.
- This means they need to respire more rapidly.
- To meet this demand, breathing, heart, and blood flow increase.
- If oxygen is insufficient, the muscles resort to anaerobic respiration, producing lactic acid.
- Lactic acid builds up causing fatigue and an oxygen debt.
- The body needs extra oxygen to remove the lactic acid, leading to a higher breathing rate and heart rate for a time after exercise.
