New cards

What are the organelles used for protein making?

Nuceluolus - creates the ribosomes, This process is essential for cell function and communication.

Nucleus - where RNA is created.

Ribosomes - site of protein synthesis

Rough endoplasmic reticulum - adds and takes things from the sequence of the protein and folds it up. Makes it ready

Golgi apparatus - Packages the proteins for export.

State and describe what the cell membrane is made of.

The cell membrane consists of a collage of proteins in a phospholipids bilayer. The Phospholipid bilayer contains phosphate heads and fatty acide tails. The tails are hyrdophobic and the heads are hydrophillic.

New cards

What type of proteins can be found in the cell membrane?

  • peripheral proteins - loosely bound to the surface of the cell.

  • intergral proteins - penetrate the lipid bilayer e.g transmembrane proteins - channels.

6
New cards

What can effect the cell membrane?

The amount of fat in the membrane effects its flexility. The membrane needs to be fluid so that proteins and other subtances can bidn to it and so it can allow transport.

The percentage of unsaturated fat effects is viscousity. Less unsaturated fat keeps the membrane fluid whereas the more unsatrurated fat makes the lipid more viscous.

→ We need the Lipid to be viscous so that the membrane can be selectively permeable membrane. As well as being fluid (fluid osaic model) but keep its structural integrity.

7
New cards

How are substances transported into/out of the cell?

Through transport proteins. Substances are diffused from a high concentration to a low concentration (follows concentration gradient).

8
New cards

What are the different types of transportation?

Passive transport - follows the concentration gradient and not much energy is used. e.g Simple Diffusion

Active Transport - particles go against the concentration gradient.

Faciliated diffusion is where the particle uses a carrier or channel to transport it.

9
New cards

What are some inputs and outputs of a cell?

inputs: nutrients, food, oxygen, salts, sugars, lipids, proteins

outputs: Waste, C02, hormones(proteins), water(sweat), ammonia

10
New cards

How do you move large molceules in and out the cell?

Endocytosis is the process where large particles use vacuoles and vesicle to be transported across the cell membrane (into and out of the cell)

Phagocytosis - membrnae engulfs solid particles and produces a vesicle inside th cytoplasm

Exocytosis - vesicle/vacuole re-connencts with the cell membrane and releases the solid/liquid molceules to the outside of the cell.

Pinocyctosis - cell membrne engulfs liquide molceules and produces a vacuole in the cytoplasm

11
New cards

What is the equation for cellular respiration?

12
New cards

What is anaerobic respiration?

anaerobic respiration is respiration without oxygen. It turn gluclose into pyruvate in a process called glycolysis, proudcing 2 ATP. It takes place in the cytoplasm.

13
New cards

What is aerobic respiration?

It uses oxygen and turns gluclose into pyruvate (2ATP)and then pyruvate into CO2(2ATP), O2 and H2O. The O2 makes H2O in the redox reaction of the elelectron transport chain. This produces 34 ATP. Overall ATP produces is 38.

14
New cards

How does the ATP cycle work?

ATP stars off as ADP (adenosine di-phosphate). A phosphate bonds to the last phosphate group and energy from glucose is trapped in the bond between them. When the ATP is used the phosphate snaps of and the energy held in the bond is release, it then become ADP again. The process repeats itself.

15
New cards

what are the 4 types of tissue?

  • connective - fibre like. loosedy oganises and separated by a non-cellular matrix

  • Muscle - able to contract and relax. Structure is different my compisition is the same.

  • Nervous - sends messages to and from the brain and spinal chord used for movement, senses and breathing.

  • Epithelial - cover inner and outler layer of organs, protecting the organs and varys in shape. Closely packed together to secrete and aborb specific things.

16
New cards

Carbohydrates nutrient

  • H,C,O

  • Monosaccharides - simple sugars e.g glucose and fructose

  • Source of energy, cell recognition and cellular respiration

  • e.g gluclose (monosaccharides), sucrose (diasaccharides), starch (complex)

17
New cards

Lipids (fats)

  • triglyceride

  • source of energy, basis of steroid hormones, mane ingredient in the cell membrane

  • nucleotide

  • contains the instuctions for the synthesis of proteins

  • e.g RNA, DNA

20
New cards

What is an enzyme?

A biological catalyst. Proteins that control all reactions in your body that require a catalyst.

21
New cards

what is activation energy?

The certain amount of energy needed to cause a reaction.

22
New cards

What are some factor effecting enzyme catalysed reactions?

  • Temperature - increase in kinetic energy. Particles are moving faster so they are most likely to hit eachother. However excess vibrations will destroy the shape of the protein. *Enzyme will de-naturate

  • Enzyme concentration - more enzymes for the subtrates to react with ina given volume → R.R increases

  • Substrate concentration - more subtrate to compliment the enzymes, however too mcuh saturates the reaction with substrate.They can’t work faster than they can.

  • Product concentration - decreases R.R because it is more difficult for enzymes and substrates to collide

  • pH (acidity) - Acidic and basic are both bad. protiens hav ions. Chemicals determine their strucutre, extra H+ or OH- effects its shape and hence its function. - Papsin like acidity. Works at an optimum pH.

23
New cards

What are co-factors?

Substances that bind to the enzymes to make them the correct shape for substrates. This allows only specifci substrates to bind to them. this would be good in cases where a specific reaction has to occur more than another.

24
New cards

What are inhibitors?

Binds to the active site of the enzyme preventing a substrate from binding.

25
New cards

What is metabolism?

all the enzyme controlled reactions that occur in the cell abd hence the human body.

must maitain a balance between energy releasea and utilised.

26
New cards

What is anabolic metabolism?

reactions in which smaller molecules are built into larger ones. This requires energy. e.g protein synthesis

27
New cards

What is catablic metabolism?

reaction where larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules. THis releases energy. e.g digection.
