Sperm cells have

Acrosome haploid nucleus Mitochondria streamlines shape tail

Acrosomes (sperm)

Contains enzyme breaks egg's coat

Haploid nucleus (sperm)

single set of unpaired chromosomes

Mitochondria (sperm)

Releases energy

Tail (sperm)

Propell

Egg cell stuff

cell membrane haploid nucleus Nutrients in cytoplasm

Cell membrane (egg)

jelly coat hardens after fertilisation

Nutrients in cytoplasm (egg)

Develops embryo

Ciliated epithelial cells stuff

Cell membrane epithelial strands of a substance

Cell membrane (ciliated)

Covers

Epithelial (ciliated)

No hair-like structures

Strands of substance (ciliated)

Contract causes wavy movement

What does pH do to enzymes

Break bonds

Lock and key theory

Substrate fits active site Enzyme-substrate complex

What's an inhibitor

Slows enzyme reaction

Increase enzyme concentration

Faster reactions

Enzymes are ...

Osmosis

Water molec diffuse from high conc of water molec to low conc of water molec through a partially permeable membrane

Active transport

Movement of dissolved molec through the cell membrane from lower conc to a high conc against conc gradient using energy from resp

Diffusion

Random movement of a substance from a region of high con to a region of low conc
