Salt, meat and milk

Is this true or false, not all tumors are harmful

true

Proteins consist of

amino acids

cuticle

waxy layer that prevents water loss from plants

Guard cells

Bean-shaped cells that surround the stomata in the leaf’s epidermis

mammogram

rickets

a dishes that arises as a result of deficiency of vitamin d

Carbohydrates

organic compounds consisting of C, H, and O

Stomata

small openings in the pants epidermis

phloem

transports food from the leaves to other parts of the plant

A macro element

Calcium and Potassium

DNA

store hereditary information

Identify the parts labelled as A and H

A - cell wall H- vacuole

state which cell is an animal cell

2- animal cell

Which letter is responsible for the production of food by photosynthesis

B- chloroplast

which cell is the plant cell

cell 1

give the letter of the part responsible for the control of the cell’s activity

E- nucleus

Name the Tissue A (found in plants)

Parenchyma

Name the Tissue B (found in plants)

Collenchyma

Name the Tissue C (found in plants)

Sclerenchyma

Mitosis

The division of the nucleus

identify A

Chromosome

identify b

spindle fibre

identify c

centromere

what is the name of the imaginary line on which the chromosomes form in this phase

equator

what is the name of the phase that follows this phase

Anaphase

what phase is this

metaphase

what happens during the Anaphase

the spindle fibres contract and pull the chromatids to opposite ends of the cell, called the poles

what happens during the metaphase

The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, called the equator. Spindle fibres attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.

what happens during the prophase

The chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear membrane breaks down and spindle fibres begin to form.

what happens during telophase

The chromosomes decondense and new nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes at the poles.

what happens during cytokinesis

The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two identical daughter cells.

name part 1

Substrate

name part 2

Active site

name part 3

enzyme

Name part 4

Enzyme substrate complex

name part 5

products

is this reaction catabolic or anabolic

catabolic

Catabolic

a destructive reaction

Anabolic

a building reaction

What is the function of an active site (2)

It speeds up the reaction by lowering the activation energy without changing itself

How is the Active site (2) affected by the change in ph

the part denatures and losses its specific form and function
