Biology - Unit 2
  1. Cells

    Annotations:

    • Cells make up tissue, which makes up an organ which makes up an organ system.
    1. Properties of a cell

      Annotations:

      • all cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. plant cells have all that plus a cell wall, vacuole and chloroplasts.
      1. specialised cells

        Annotations:

        • palisade leaf cells- photosynthesis guard cells- open and closered blood cells- carry oxygensperm and egg cells- reproduce
        1. Stem cells

          Annotations:

          • embryonic stem cells are celss that can turn into any type of cell. stem cells are undifferentiated cells, meaning they have not been allocated a specialisation. as they have the potential to turn into any cell they want meaning they have the potential to cure many things.
          1. Medical potential

            Annotations:

            • stem cells from bone marrow are already used to creat new blood cells when people have blood diseases but because of controversy the far more versatile embryonic stem cells are not widely used even though they could be used to create glands and heart tissue even nerve cells for spinal injuries and paralysis.
            1. Opposition

              Annotations:

              • Many people are against it as it is the potential of human life.  people believe that it is not sustainable and that scientists should focus on curing a disease than individual patients.
          2. Cell division
            1. mitosis

              Annotations:

              • Mitosis takes place with every cell to create new cells in order to grow or repair.1)The 46 chromosomes in a cell duplicate to form 46 chromosomes which each consists of 2 chromatids bound by a centromere. 2)The chromosomes move to the centre of the cell, the 2 chromatids of each chromosome split at the centromere, creating 92 chromosomes. 46 chromosomes go to either side of the cell.  3The cell splits creating 2 cells each with 46 chromosomes, they are both identical to the original cell.
              1. Meiosis

                Annotations:

                • meiosis is cell division used in reproduction, it creates 4 daughter cells that each have 23 chromosomes. 1) 23 chromosomes from each parent combine to make a cell with 46 chromosomes. 2)These 46 chromosones duplicate to form 46 chromosomes that consist of 2 sister chromatids bound with a centromere. 3)The chromosomes pair with another chromosome from the other parent to form 23  homologous pairs, each homologous pair consists of 2 chromosomes (each are 2 sister chromatids)4)These 23 homologous pairs line up and exchange genetic material.5)These 23 homologous pairs split in the cell and form 46 chromosomes which have a mix of genetic material, half at each side of the cells.6)The cell splits and forms two cells with 23 chromosomes with a mix of genes.27)In each cell, the centromeres connecting the chromatids of the 23 chromosomes split producing 46 chromosomes at either side of the cell. 8)Both cell splits producing, in total, 4 daughter cells with 23 chromosomes each.
            2. Plants
              1. Plant structure

                Annotations:

                • plants have tissues and organs too.
                1. Photosynthesis

                  Annotations:

                  • Carbon dioxide + water => glucose + oxygen (must have sunlight and chlorophyll) To create glucose for cellular respiiration, Oxygen is the bi-product.
                  1. Limiting factors

                    Annotations:

                    • factors- sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. sunlight and heat- optimum temp 35" too hot- the enzymes, chloroplasts, get denatured and cannot aid the reaction. too cold- the reactants dont have enough energy so the reaction is very slow.                                                                                                                                                                              
                    1. CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER -> GLUCOSE + OXYGEN
                    2. How plants use glucose

                      Annotations:

                      • -Respiration -Making:  -Cell walls-Proteins-Stored as glucose to be used in the winter when photosynthesis cannot take place.
                    3. Distribution of organisms

                      Annotations:

                      • The distribution of an organism depends on environmental factors, such as: temp, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, light.
                      1. Always consider reliability and validity
                      2. Exercise

                        Annotations:

                        • exercise increases the heart rate.
                        1. muscles

                          Annotations:

                          • Muscle cells use oxygen to release energy from glucose. this creates carbon dioxide which needs to be carried out in the blood, meaning heart rate increased.
                          1. glucose

                            Annotations:

                            • glucose, from sugars, is needed for the muscle cells to create energy. glucose is stored as glycogen which is stored in the liver, but each muscle has its own store. when a muscle needs more glucose it releases the hormone glucagon because the GLUCose is All  GONe.
                        2. Genetic disorders

                          Annotations:

                          • Genetic disorders are caused by dominant or recessive allelles. genetic screenings can detect genetic disorders but there are many argumants for and against this.
                          1. genetic screening
                            1. For

                              Annotations:

                              • it will stop suffering there are limits- laws prevent things from going "TOO" far during IVF most embryos are destroyed anyway treating disorders will cost more money in the long run.
                              1. Against

                                Annotations:

                                • its very subjective as people can basically decide every characteristic they want in a child- not natural rejected embryos are destroyed it implies that people with genetic problems are undesirable its expensive.
                            2. Extinction and speciation
                              1. Extinction

                                Annotations:

                                • extinction happens when a species cant evolve quick enough to survive-  the changing environment predators disease competition for food or because of a catastrophic event that wipes out an entire species.      
                                1. Speciation

                                  Annotations:

                                  • speciation is when a population of a certain species evolve separately to the rest because of environment, predators.. and create an entirely new species.
                                  1. what makes it a new species?

                                    Annotations:

                                    • a specie is a group of similar organisms that can breed to crete fertile offspring. when something evolves and can no longer breedto produce fertile offspring speciation has taken place and that is a new specie.
                                  2. Fossils

                                    Annotations:

                                    • Fossils are the remains of plants and animals. as teeth, bones, shell... eventually decay they are replaced by minerals, the actual fossil, which is shaped like the original "hard part" when things are preserved I clay and soft things it will decay and the clay will harden leaving a cast. amber- in amber there is no oxygen or moisture so things cant decay meaning when it solidified anything inside is fully formed.
                                    1. Chromosomes
