Study Notes
Correlation Between Radiation Dose and Cell Damage
- There is a positive correlation between radiation dose and cell damage
- Increasing radiation dose leads to increased cell damage
- The positive correlation is stronger in cells without the extract
- Increased radiation dose is associated with increased cell damage
Data Variance in the Graph
- Error bars represent the standard deviation
- The "with extract" group shows a greater range of variation of data at each radiation dose
- Error bars represent how much variability there is in measurements, not the range of data
Respirometer
- The respirometer is a device used to measure the rate of respiration
- The setup consists of two chambers, each containing germinating seeds for different respiration conditions
- The respirometer measures the rate of oxygen uptake in the seeds, which is a measure of metabolism
- The volume of gas is measured by the movement of a liquid in a graduated tube
Synapse
- Neurotransmitters are the chemical signals that transmit information between neurons
- Structure J is a voltage-gated calcium channel that opens when an action potential travels down the axon
- Structure L is the presynaptic vesicle, containing neurotransmitters
- The neurotransmitters are released by exocytosis where the vesicle fuses with the presynaptic membrane
- Structure K is the neurotransmitter receptor on the post-synaptic membrane
- GABA is a neurotransmitter that causes hyperpolarization of the post-synaptic membrane by opening chloride ion channels
Effects of Reducing CO2
- When CO2 concentration is reduced the concentration of RuBP increases
- When CO2 concentration is reduced the concentration of GP decreases
- Reduced CO2 limits carboxylation reactions so RuBP accumulates and GP is used up
Endosymbiosis Theory
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA
- Mitochondria and chloroplasts have a double membrane
Colorimeter
- Systematic error is the same error for all measurements
- Random error is variability between repeated measurements
- Resolution is the smallest value that can be measured
- Repeatability is the consistency of measurements under the same conditions
- Reproducibility is the consistency of measurements using different methods
- A digital colorimeter with higher resolution reduces the random error
- Checking the zero value of the colorimeter with purified water before use reduces the systematic error
- Repeating the measurements several times and calculating the mean reduces the random error
