Recall that plants respire all the time but only photosynthesis in the presence of light Name the storage sugar in plants 9. 10. Explain how the leaf as an organ can function effectively in photosynthesis Most human and animal cells have the following parts: A nucleus, which controls the activities of the cell Cytoplasm, in which most of the chemical reactions take place A cell membrane, which controls the passage of substances into and out of the cell Mitochondria, which are where most energy is released in respiration Ribosomes, which are where protein synthesis occurs. Plant cells have these and also Chloroplast: which contain a green pigment Chlorophyll that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis Cell wall: made of cellulose which strengthens the cell (supports the cell) A permanent vacuole: This contains the cell sap Bacterial cells: have a cell wall (though not made of cellulose), they do not have a nucleus but do have genetic material, they have a cytoplasm, cell membrane and contain smaller ribosomes (than plant or animal cells) Yeast cells: have a nucleus, cytoplasm and membrane. After fertilisation, an embryo forms through cell division (mitosis) and this contains stem cells (unspecialised/undifferentiated cells). Certain genes are switched on and cells will begin to specialise/differentiate, meaning that they take on unique shapes and characteristics to perform particular jobs. Sperm cells are streamlined, have a tail to swim, the area around the tail is packed with mitochondria to release the energy for the tail to contract. Red blood cells have no nucleus so they can carry more oxygen Root hair cells have a large surface area to absorb more water Palisade cells are packed with chloroplasts Substances move in and out of cells by diffusion Net movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration Rate of diffusion depends upon Temperature: higher temperature = more kinetic energy = faster diffusion Concentration gradient (difference between areas) = steeper = faster Size of particles: smaller = faster Oxygen diffuses into cells from the blood because...... Inside the cell oxygen is used in respiration and so is always at a low concentration compared to the blood (CO2 moves the opposite way as it is produced in respiration) Carbon Dioxide diffuses into a leaf as it is used in the leaf for photosynthesis so is lower than the surrounding atmosphere Cells: are the basic building blocks of life Tissues: groups of similar cells with similar structure and function: Muscle cells → muscle tissue → contracts Glandular cells → glandular tissue → produce and secrete substances like hormones and enzymes Epithelial cells → epithelial tissue covers parts of the body Palisade cells →palisade mesophyll main site of photosynthesis cover the leaf Epidermal cells → epidermal tissue Xylem and phloem tissue → transport water and sugar respectively Organs: made of different tissues working for a common purpose Stomach: muscle tissue (churn food and digestive juices), glandular tissue (to produce digestive juices), epithelial tissue (to cover the inside and outside of the stomach) Leaf: mesophyll tissue where photosynthesis occurs, xylem and phloem for transport, epidermal tissue to cover the leaf Label A B C D E F G H I Animal cell G And ST Name of cell part a b e a b d Plant cell Function of the cell part Organelle C, looks like this close up Organelle H, looks like this close up g h Bacterial cell d b e f Yeast cell D What are the main differences between a plant and animal cell? Animal cell has no chloroplasts, cell wall or permanent vacuole a What are the main differences between an animal and bacterial cell? Bacterial cell has no nucleus, no mitochondria, bacteria have a cell wall Bacterial cells have a slime capsule (prevents them drying out), they have plasmids, that are circular pieces of DNA that usually carry genes for antibiotic resistance, they have flagella for movement. C What are the main differences between a plant and yeast cell? Plant cell has a permanent vacuole, chloroplast. Yeast respire aerobically, using oxygen, but can respire anaerobically too, producing ethanol and CO2 (fermentation) Tissues: a group of similar cells working together Muscle tissue: a group of muscle cells. When these contract together they cause muscle to shorten and allow movement Glandular tissue: group of cells that secrete substances like hormones and enzymes Epithelial tissue: group of cells that form a covering for some parts of the body Organs: made up of different tissues working together for a common purpose Tissues found in the stomach, an organ involved in digestion are listed below Epithelial tissue: covering the outside and more on the inside Muscular tissue: helps churn the food up with the acid and enzymes Glandular tissue: secreting, acid to kill bacteria, to create the optimum conditions for the enzymes. It secretes protease enzymes, and it secretes mucus All these tissues have a different job, but work together to ensure digestion of food is effective Palisade cell (from leaf) Absorbs light for photosynthesis Packed with chloroplasts which contain the pigment chlorophyll. + Absorbs oxygen and transports it around the body Red blood cell Has a biconcave shape so is flexible to squeeze through small capillaries. Sperm cell Contain no nucleus so more haemoglobin can be packed in. Root hair cell Absorbs water and mineral salts from the soil Has a large surface area which enables the cell to absorb more water from the soil. Muscle cell Fertilises the female gamete (egg) Has a tail to swim to the egg. The mid piece is packed with mitochondria to provide energy for movement. Contracts (to provide muscle movement) Contains mitochondria which provide the energy for contraction. Diffusion: the net movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. It is faster when the temperature is high and the concentration gradient is steep (like high oxygen in the alveoli and low oxygen in the blood), the diffusion distance is short, the molecules are small, the surface area across which diffusion occurs is large. Transmits nerve impulses Contains fibres (dendrites) which connect to other neurones. The axon is surrounded by the myelin sheath which insulates it and speeds up the Nerve cell (motor neurone) transmission of the nerve impulse. Moves the egg towards the uterus Has cilia on the surface which beat regularly to move the egg down the oviduct. Ciliated cell (in oviduct) Contains mitochondria which provide the energy needed to move the cilia. Organ system: different organs working together. This division of labour improves efficiency. The digestive system has a variety of organs doing different jobs Organs for releasing digestive juices like........... 1. Pancreas: releases digestive enzymes to the small intestine 2. Salivary glands: release s enzymes into the mouth 3. Liver: releases bile to neutralise stomach acid and help digest fat 4. Stomach: releases enzymes, acid Organs for digestion like....... Stomach, mouth or small intestine. These all have glands to secrete enzymes, and these digestive secretions are mixed with the food by muscles or by the teeth Organs for absorption of soluble products of digestion like..... The small intestine, with its folded wall and microvilli to give it a large surface area The epithelial cells are thin so the nutrients only have a short distance to diffuse There is muscle tissue to keep the food moving and to mix it There are blood vessels to carry away the nutrients and keep a steep concentration gradient The large intestine, where water is absorbed Each organ has a different job, structure and is made up of different tissues, but they work together to ensure effective digestion of food Photosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + water → Oxygen + Glucose 6CO₂ 6H₂O 602 C6H12O6 Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll: used to convert carbon dioxide and water in to sugar Water enters through the root hair cells Carbon dioxide diffuses in through the stomata Oxygen is released as a by-product and diffuses out of the leaf Plants use oxygen for respiration. In the day Rate of photosynthesis > rate of respiration, so there is a net production in oxygen At night: there is no photosynthesis so only respiration occurs and oxygen levels decrease Limiting factors: factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. The key factors are Light intensity (energy), Carbon Dioxide (raw material) concentration and Temperature (affects enzymes) Carbon dioxide levels are so low in the atmosphere (0.04%) it is often a limiting factor Light and temperature will vary with season, CO2 does not vary as greatly kkb Carbon dioxide concentration Light intensity Temperature Greenhouse, polytunnels and hydroponics are ways to grow plants and try to minimise effect of limiting factors. But raising temp, CO2 and light intensity costs money and so must be balanced against the profit form increased growth. Uses of glucose Respiration: to release energy Cellulose: for cell walls Starch: insoluble storage sugar Fats and Oils: energy store Amino Acids: glucose is combined with nitrates to make amino acid that can be made into proteins Plants need minerals for growth Nitrates → to make amino acid for proteins → lack of nitrate = stunted growth Magnesium → to make chlorophyll → lack of magnesium = yellow leaves Mineral Nitrate Magnesium Rate of photosynthesis Use in plant Making proteins Making chlorophyll Light no longer limits rate, something else is, temperature or CO2 Light is limiting rate as light changes so does the rate Light intensity {}}== deficiency Stunted growth Yellow leaves rate of photosynthesis How a leaf is adapted for photosynthesis Waxy layer reduces water loss, water is needed for photosynthesis Palisade cells contain many chloroplasts and are close to the surface of the leaf to absorb most light. They have a thin cell wall so gases can diffuse in quicker. X Spongy layer has air spaces so gas diffusion is quick. Spongy cells have chloroplasts to absorb light Vascular tissue to bring water and minerals and remove sugar Guard cells can open and close the stomata to reduce water loss and regulate gas exchange. Guard cells have chloroplasts to absorb light for photosynthesis The uses of glucose: Used in respiration to release energy, used to make starch an insoluble storage sugar, used to make cellulose for the cell wall, combined with nitrates to make amino acids for proteins, used to make fats and oils. The three limiting factors are.......... Carbon dioxide concentration, light intensity and temperature Light was no longer limiting the rate, as further increases did not increase the rate. Soehting else was limiting, it was temperature, as an increase of 10 degrees increased the rate of photosynthesis Y light intensity 30°C 20°C Plants can only photosynthesis in the day Plants respire all the time; this is how they get energy for making new thing or absorbing minerals from the soil In the day the rate of respiration is less than photosynthesis so more oxygen is released than used 2. 9. The graph shows how the rate of photosynthesis is affected by different conditions. Rate of photosynthesis (a) (b) Increased concentration of carbon dioxide (b) Light intensity What patterns can you find from this graph? (5) How useful could this information be to a grower using glasshouses? Give reasons for your answer. (2) The graph shows the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air in a greenhouse full of tomato plants, measured over a period of 24 hours. 0 mid night 6 dawn 4% CO₂ at 25°C 12 midday 4% CO₂ at 15°C Time in hours 0.03% CO₂ at 25°C -0.03% CO₂ at 15°C 18 dusk (a) Explain why the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air in the greenhouse increased between X and Y.(2) Explain why the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air in the greenhouse decreased between Y and Z. (2) 24 mid night 5. 11. 13. Balance the following equation for photosynthesis.

Beyond the optimum temperature (temperature where enzyme works best) The enzyme denatures, meaning that it active site changes shape and is no longer complementary to the substrate. Extreme pH beyond the optimum will also denature the enzyme Different enzymes work in different conditions; human enzymes have an optimum at 37 degrees. Enzymes in the stomach (protease) prefer acidic conditions (hydrochloric acid), and enzymes in the small intestine prefer alkaline conditions as their optimum. Digestion is the breakdown of large molecules that cannot be absorbed into the blood, into small molecules that can be absorbed. Digestion of carbohydrates Amylase is produced in the salivary glands, pancreas and small intestine. It catalyses the breakdown of starch into simple sugars in the mouth and small intestine Rate of reaction rate of reaction 0 Heat energy causes more collisions between enzyme and substrate. 10 Active Site 12 T37°C PH Enzyme Substrate Enzymes denature at high temperatures. so rate falls rapidly Optimum temperature 20 30 40 50 60 Temperature C n 5 7 for humans is close to 37°C Digestion of proteins Protease is produced in the stomach, pancreas and small intestine. Protease catalyses the breakdown of proteins into amino acids in the small intestine and stomach. Digestion of lipids Lipase enzymes are produced by the small intestine and pancreas. They catalyse the breakdown of lipids into fatty acids and glycerol in the small intestine. Bile (from the liver which is stored in the gall bladder) aids fat digestion by emulsifying lipids to increase the surface area for lipase activity Bile also neutralises stomach acid and creates the alkaline conditions for the enzymes in the small intestine Enzymes in industry They are usually sourced from microbes Used as they are reusable, and have a high turnover rate (rate at which they change substrate to product), so are effective in small quantities. Work at low temperatures and pressure so reduce cost of manufacturing processes Problems: water soluble so difficult to separate form products, activity is affected by temperature and pH, can be expensive to buy. Applications (making cheese, yoghurt, beer, wine, genetic engineering) Biological detergents: proteases and lipases, so wash clothes at lower temperatures and get cleaner clothes. Proteases to pre-digest baby food Carbohydrases to convert starch into glucose syrup Isomerase: converts glucose to a sweeter sugar fructose. So is added in smaller quantities to slimming food making them less calorific. Active Site Enzyme Substrate 2. Enzyme Substrate Active site 2 enzyme-substrate complex Enzyme Facts They are organic/biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions by providing an alternate pathway of lower activation energy (graph) They are proteins Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids The chains of amino acids are folded in a specific way to give a unique shape Enzymes have a special region called an active site into which the substrate fits during a reaction A substrate is the molecule the enzyme reacts with Enzymes are not destroyed or used up in the reaction Enzymes have an optimum pH and temperature at which they work fastest The arte of enzyme catalysed reactions are affected by...pH, temperature, substrate concentration and enzyme concentration This model shows the lock and key hypothesis 1. The enzyme has a specific active site that is complementary to a particular substrate The substrate binds to the active site and enzyme substrate complex forms, and the reaction occurs enzyme ready to eract again as it is not used up in the recation Products 3. The new products no longer complement the active site and are released, the enzyme is ready to accept the next substrate molecule increasing enzyme activity 0 10 optimum temperature T 20 30 40 50 60 temperature (°C) Describing and explaining effect of temp on enzymes As temperature increases so does enzyme activity up to a point (optimum) beyond which the rate of activity decreases Increase in activity because Enzyme and substrate have more kinetic energy, Collide more frequently, Collide with more energy, More successful enzyme substrate complexes form. If temperature gets too high the enzyme denatures, see diagram opposite explaining this term. 70 Energy Reactants Rate of Enzyme Activity Progress of reaction Normal enzyme active site Activation energy without enzyme Activation energy with enzyme Optimum pH extreme pH or temperature Products Describing effect of pH As the pH moves away from its optimum the rate of the reaction changes Large changes in the pH will denature the enzyme. pH Denatured enzyme W Active site no longer complimentary to substrate Enzyme substrate complxes can not form Digestion begins in the mouth. It is the breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones by enzymes. These small molecules can be absorbed in to the blood stream. Mechanical digestion: is when the teeth grind up food to increase the surface area for enzymes Chemical digestion: the action of enzymes Salivary glands (2) produce and secrete amylase. This enzyme digests starch to simple sugars (maltose) The liver (4) produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder (3). Bile emulsifies lipids, to increase the surface area for lipase enzymes, so fat digestion is faster. Bile neutralises stomach acid and creates optimum conditions for digestive enzymes in the small intestine The pancreas (5) produces enzymes for the small intestine.

OUTER MEMBRANE MATRIX Energy and Exercise In exercise muscles contract more, so need more energy so respiration rate must increase Muscles store glucose as insoluble glycogen. In exercise, glycogen levels decrease as it is converted back to glucose and used in respiration to release energy for muscle contraction. 2 INNER MEMBRANE To achieve this... 1) The heart rate increases: Delivers more oxygen and more glucose to the muscles for respiration This also helps to remove more lactic acid, heat and carbon dioxide form the muscles 2 Anaerobic (without oxygen): Glucose → lactic acid Occurs in the cytoplasm Releases a little energy from each glucose molecule Lactic acid: causes muscle cramp/fatigue, inability of the muscle to generate a full force Anaerobic respiration creates an oxygen debt: oxygen is needed to break down lactic acid into carbon dioxide and water IM Cellular respiration: A series of enzyme controlled reactions that release energy from organic molecules, like glucose. Animals store sugar as glycogen in the liver and muscles. This is broken down during exercise to release glucose There are two types Aerobic: With oxygen Anaerobic: Without oxvgen Aerobic respiration Most steps take place in the mitochondria (an organelle found in plant and animal cells) This releases a lot of energy. The energy is used in many ways Glucose comes from the breakdown of starch. Starch Digestion begins in the mouth, with amylase enzymes, this produces maltose. Maltose is then broken down by maltase enzymes in the small intestine to form glucose, which is soluble, and is absorbed into the blood stream. Glucose Carried by red blood cells. Diffuses into the blood at the alveoli. There are many alveoli to give a large surface area for rapid diffusion, and they have thin wall to speed up diffusion. Ventilation and circulation keeps the concentration gradient steep so diffusion is fast. Red blood cells have no nucleus so they can carry more oxygen C6H12O6 + 60₂ Glucose Oxygen Anaerobic Respiration Lactic Acid aerobic respiration This is carried in the blood to the lungs where it diffuses into the alveoli and is exhaled ENERGY HOUS How aerobic respiration differs to anaerobic.... Aerobic uses oxygen Aerobic does not produce lactic acid Aerobic produces carbon dioxide and water Aerobic respiration releases more energy 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy Water Carbon Dioxide energy out The mitochondria are organelles in plant and animal cells. It has a folded inner membrane; this gives it a large surface area for the chemical reactions to take place so it can release more energy. Water levels in the body are maintained as part of homeostasis, this is the concept where the body keeps a constant internal environment Exhaled air has ● Less oxygen (used in respiration) ● More CO2 (released in respiration) More water Is warmer Used in many ways............ Muscle contraction Building large molecules form smaller ones in animals, like amino acids into proteins, of simple sugars into large carbohydrates ● Building proteins form glucose and nitrates in plants Keeping a constant body temperature in mammals and birds. A fit person Has a low resting heart rate During exercise their heart rate does not increase as much They recover quickly to rest after exercise During exercise our heart rate and breathing rate and depth of breathing increase because.... Our muscles are contracting more, so they require more energy; so more respiration must take place. We breathe faster and deeper to take in more oxygen and to exhale the excess carbon dioxide, and our heart beats faster to deliver more oxygen and glucose to the muscles faster, the fast hear rate also removes lactic acid/carbon dioxide quicker Anaerobic respiration: this occurs during sustained periods of exercise or short intervals of high intensity. The muscles cannot get sufficient energy from aerobic respiration and so use anaerobic respiration to release energy without oxygen. Lactic acid is produced and builds up causing muscle fatigue. After exercise the lactic acid is removed by the blood and broken down by oxygen to carbon dioxide and water. So even after exercise we have a high oxygen demand to break down the lactic acid, this is called the oxygen debt. 1. (i) 12.

We inherit 1 of each pair from our parents when sperm and egg cells nuclei fuse in fertilisation. So are similar but not identical to them. Sexual reproduction produces variation as offspring inherit different combinations of their parent's alleles on the chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of DNA Short sections of DNA are genes Genes determine our characteristics, They are unique sequences of bases, that code for amino acid sequences which make proteins. Alleles are alternate forms of genes Alleles can be Dominant: allele expressed in the heterozygous form, (shown as a capital letter) Recessive: allele not expressed in the heterozygous form (shown as a lower case letter) Phenotype: physical appearance of an organism Genotype: the allele combination an organism contains Genotypes can be described as the following Homozygous = pure breed: same alleles Homozygous dominant: two dominant alleles (AA) Homozygous recessive: two recessive alleles (aa) Heterozygous: 2 different alleles in the genotype (Aa) Genetic disorders Cystic fibrosis: caused by a recessive allele To have condition must be homozygous recessive.

Fossils may be formed in various ways: ■ From the hard parts of animals that do not decay easily From parts of organisms that have not decayed because one or more of the conditions needed for decay are absent When parts of the organism are replaced by other materials as they decay ■As preserved traces of organisms, eg footprints, burrows and rootlet traces. Many early forms of life were soft-bodied, which means that they have left few traces behind. What traces there were have been mainly destroyed by geological activity. Fossils provide evidence that species alive today have evolved from simpler organisms fossil is (remains / impression of) organism that lived a long time ago fossils show changes over time or older fossils simpler or fossils simpler than present-day species fossils have similar features to present-day species ● Extinction may be caused by: changes to the environment over geological time ■ New predators ■ New diseases New, more successful, competitors A single catastrophic event, eg massive volcanic eruptions or collisions with asteroids Through the cyclical nature of speciation.

Fossils may be formed in various ways: ■ From the hard parts of animals that do not decay easily ■ from parts of organisms that have not decayed because one or more of the conditions needed for decay are absent ■ When parts of the organism are replaced by other materials as they decay ■ As preserved traces of organisms, eg footprints, burrows and rootlet traces. The fossil record is incomplete!!! 000 000 Variation exists within the population (different alleles) The population becomes Isolated/ separated by a geographical barrier. Each isolated population is exposed to different environmental conditions (food, predators, climate) Natural selection occurs and only certain alleles are passed on Over many genertaions, interbreeding is no longer possible 1. 2. 3. 4.
