Study Notes

  • Living organisms remove excess carbon dioxide through respiration.
  • The elephant hawk-moth belongs to the group of arthropods known as insects.
  • A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce to produce fertile offspring.
  • Antibiotic penicillin affects the cell wall causing the cells to burst.
  • Antibiotic tetracycline stops protein synthesis
  • Penicillin affects the cell wall, while tetracycline affects the ribosomes.
  • Carbon dioxide moves from an area of high concentration (Y) to an area of low concentration (X) via diffusion.
  • Diffusion of ions into a cell is quickest when the ion concentration in the cell is low, ion concentration in the external solution is high, the surface area of the cell is large, and the width of the cell membrane is thin.
  • Large biological molecules are made of smaller molecules, cellulose is made of fatty acids.
  • A positive result for a protein test is the biuret test will turn purple.
  • Enzymes speed up chemical reactions.
  • The shape of an enzymes active site is complementary to the substrate.
  • An experiment measuring the effects of light intensity the x-axis is labelled with light intensity.
  • The y-axis of the graph is labeled as rate of oxygen production.
  • The type of cell controls the entry of carbon dioxide into the leaf is labelled as "A".
  • Vitamin D strengthens bones and teeth while fish oil is a good food source for it.
  • Magnesium is an ion used to make chlorophyll.
  • The gallbladder functions in the storage of bile.
  • In the diagram of teeth, the teeth that are circled are premolars.
  • Starch is chemically digested in the mouth and small intestine, but not in the stomach.
  • Xylem vessels are present in a vascular bundle.
  • Water travels from the soil to the leaf through root hair cells, then the root cortex, then the mesophyll, and finally the xylem.
  • ECG and measuring pulse are methods for monitoring heart activity.
  • An ECG gives yes reading; measuring pulse rate and listening to sounds of valves closing read no.
  • One of the cells contains haemoglobin.
  • A direct way to transmit a pathogen is through contact with contaminated blood.
  • In the diagram of the breathing system, the structure labelled as "C" is the diaphragm.
  • The word equation for aerobic respiration is: oxygen + glucose → carbon dioxide + water.
  • In the excretory system diagram, bladder, ureter, and urethra are correctly positioned.
  • The diagram with the iris and pupil in different light conditions is an example of sensitivity as a characteristic of living organisms.
  • Insulin is secreted by the pancreas and decreases blood glucose concentration.
  • The greatest change in the number of MRSA cases occurred between 2002 and 2003, as shown in the graph.
  • An insect-pollinated flower has an anther inside the flower, pollen that is large and sticky, and a stigma.
  • The ovary is the part of the female reproductive system is responsible for releasing the egg cells.
  • The mitochondria is an adaptive feature of the sperm that provides the energy needed for the sperm to swim.
  • Anaerobic respiration is how yeast is used to make bread.
  • Mammals and birds use color to pass on their features.
  • Color is used for hiding from animals which might eat them, hiding from animals which they could eat, and warning animals that they are poisonous.
  • Statements 1, 2, 3, and 4 correctly describe natural selection In selection individuals reproduce and pass on their alleles to the next generation.
  • Genetic variation exists between individuals and many offspring are produced as part of selection.
  • During selection individuals struggle for survival and compete for resources.
  • During selection individuals that are better adapted to the environment survive.
  • Combustion and respiration release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the carbon cycle.
  • Sewage pollution decreases biodiversity and increases the number of bacteria in a river.
  • An increase in carbon dioxide and methane contributes to an enhanced greenhouse effect.
  • Bacteria reproduce rapidly, is why they are used in biotechnology.
