387916670What are the three ways a pathogen can damage hosts cells?1) rupturing them to release nutrients inside them 2) breaking down nutrients inside the cell for their own use. This starves and eventually kills the cell. 3) replicating inside the cells and bursting them when they're released0
387916671What are the two ways pathogens cause disease?1) production of toxins 2) cell damage1
387916672What are the lifestyle factors that can affect your chances of getting cancer?1) smoking 2) excessive exposure to sunlight 3) excessive alcohol intake2
387916673What are the three surfaces of contact- where pathogens enter our body? and how do they get in?1) gas-exchange system = if you breathe in air that contains pathogens, most of them will be trapped in mucus lining the lung epithelium. Some pathogens are able to reach the alveoli where they can invade cells and cause damage. 2) Skin = if you damage your skin, pathogens on the surface can enter your bloodstream. blood clots prevent pathogens from entering. 3) Digestive system = if you eat or drink food that contains pathogens. Some will survive from the acidic conditions of the stomach, and invade cells of the gut wall and cause disease.3
387916674Explain the process of phagocytosis.1) A phagocyte recognises the antigens on a pathogene 2) The cytoplasm of the phagocyte moves round the pathogen, engulfing it. 3) The pathogen is now contained in a vacuole or a vesicle in the cytoplasm of the phagocyte. 4) A lysosome fuses with the phagocytic vacuole and the lytic enzymes break down with the pathogen 5) The phagocyte presents the pathogens antigens, it sticks the antigens on its surface to activate other immune system cells.4
387916675What is the cellular and humoral response?Cellular = The T-cells and other immune system cells that they interact with e.g phagocytes , form the cellular response Humoral - B cells and the production of antibodies form the humoral response.5
387916676Explain what is meant by a primary response.The primary response is slow because there aren't many B-cells that can make the antibody needed to bind to it. The infected person will show symptoms of the disease while the body produces enough of the right antibody to overcome the infection. T-cells and B-cells produce memory cells. Memory T-cells remember the specific antigen and will recognise it second time round. Memory B-cells record the specific antibodies needed to bind the antigen. The body is now immune.6
387916677Explain what is meant by the secondary response.If the same pathogen enters the body again, the immune system will produce a quicker, stronger immune response. Memory B-cells divide into plasma cells that produce the right antibody to the antigen. Memory T-cells divide into the correct type of T cells to kill the cell carrying the antigen. The secondary response often gets rid of the pathogen before you begin to show any symptoms.7
387916678Explain how monoclonal antibodies target cancer1) Cancer cells have antigens called tumour markers that are not found on body cells. 2) Monoclonal antibodies can be made that will bind to the tumour markers. 3) You can also attach anti-cancer drugs to the antibodies 4) Antibodies come into contact with the cancer cells and bind to the tumour markers 5) This means the drug will acuumulate in the body where there are cancer cells. 6) side effects of an antibody based drug are lower than other drugs because they accumulate near specific cells8
387916679how do monoclonal cells work in pregnancy tests?1) The application area contains antibodies for hCG bound to a coloured bead 2) when urine is applied to the application area any hCG will bind to the antibody on the beads, forming an antigen-antibody complex. 3) the urine moves up the stick to the test strip, carrying any beads with it 4) the test strip contains antibodies to hCG that are stuck in place. 5) if there is hCG present the test strip turns blue because the immobilised antibody binds to any hCG. if no hCG is present, the beads will pass through the test area without binding to anything so it won't go blue.9
387916680How do vaccines protect individuals and populations against disease?Vaccines contain antigens that cause your body to produce memory cells against a particular pathogen, without the pathogen causing disease. This means you become immune without getting the symptoms. Vaccines protect individuals because they reduce the occurance of the disease. Those not vaccinated are less likely to catch the diease because there are fewer people to catch it from - this is called herd immunity.10
387916681Explain the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a protein.Primary structure = A sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain Secondary structure = Hydrogen bonds form between the amino acids. This makes it coil or fold. Tertiary structure = The coiled or folded chain is coiled or folded furthur. More bonds form between different parts of the polypeptide chain. For proteins made from a single polypeptide chain, It forms their final 3D structure Quaternary structure = the way the polypeptide chains are assembled together. Several different polypeptide chains held together by bonds. For proteins made from more than one polypeptide chain this is their final 3D structure11
387916682Describe the test for proteins.1) add sodium hydroxide solution 2) add a few drops of copper (II) sulfate solution 3) if theres protein = it will go purple if theres no protein = it will stay blue12
387916683Describe three functions of proteins.three from: Enzymes = break down large food molecules or help to synthesise large molecules Antibodies = involved in the immune response, they have variable regions. Transport proteins = transport ions and molecules across membranes Structural proteins = physically strong. They consist of long polypeptide chains lying parallel to each other with cross links between them.13
387916684Describe the cause and symptoms of lactose intoleranceWhen you don't have enough of the enzyme lactase, you can't break down lactose in milk properly. undigested lactose is fermented by bacteria and can cause a whole host of intestinal complaints such as stomach cramps, excessive flatulence and diarrhoea14
387916685Describe the test for reducing sugarsAdd benedicts and heat if the sample contains reducing sugars = will turn red15
387916686Describe the test for non-reducing sugars1) boil with hydrocholric acid and neutralise with sodium hydrogencarbonate. 2) carry out the benedicts test as if you would for the reducing sugars test.16
387916687Describe the test for starch1) Add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide solution 2) if there is starch = will turn a blue-black colour17
387916688Explain the effect of temperature on enzymes.1) The rise in temperature makes the enzymes molecules vibrate more 2) If the temperature goes above a certain level, this vibration breaks some of the bonds that hold the enzyme in shape 3) The active site changes shape and the enzyme and subtrate no longer fit together 4) At this point, the enzyme in denatured18
387916689Explain the effect of PH on enzymes1) All enzymes have an optimum PH value 2) Above and below the optimum PH, the H + and OH - ions can mess up the ionic and hydrogen bonds that hold the enzymes tertiary structure in place. 3) The active site changes shape, so the enzyme is denatured19
387916690Explain the effect of substrate concentration on enzymes.1) the higher the substrate concentration, the faster the reaction. 2) More substrate molecules means a collision between substrate and enzyme is more likely 3) This only happens until the saturation point, when there are too many substrates, all active sites are full and adding more makes no difference20
387916691Explain What a competitive inhibitor is1) Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate to bind to the active site but no reaction takes place. 2) Instead they block the active site so that no subtrate molecule can fit in it 3) If theres a high concentration of the inhibitor, it'll take up nearly all the active sites and hardly any of the substrate will get to the enzyme.21
387916692Explain what a non-competitive inhibitor is.1) non-competitive inhibitor molecules bind to the enzyme away from its active site 2) This causes the active site to change shape so the substrate molecules can no longer bind to it. 3) They dont compete with the substrate molecules to bind to the active site because they are a different shape. 4) increasing the concentration wont make any difference - enzyme activity will still be inhibited.22
387916693Explain the function of the: 1) plasma membrane 2) nucleus 3) lysosome 4) ribosome1) regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell 2) The pores allow substances to move between the nucleus and cytoplasm, the nucleolus makes ribosomes. 3) Contains digestive enzymes. These are kept seperate from the cytoplasm by the surrounding membrane and can be used to digest invading cells or to break down worn out components of cell. 4) The site where proteins are made.23
387916694Explain the functions of: 1) endoplasmic recticlum 2) golgi apparatus 3) microvilli 4) mitochondrion1) synthesises and processes lipids 2) Processes and packages lipids and proteins. it also makes lysosomes 3) They increase the surface area of the plasma membrane - found on cells involved in processes such as absorption 4) the site of aerobic respiration24
387916695Explain the process of cell fractionation1) homogenisation = breaking up the cells = by vibrating the cells or grinding the cells, this breaks up the plasma membrane and releases the organelles into solution 2) filtration = getting rid of the big bits = by filtering through a gauze to seperate any large debris or tissue debris. 3) ultracentrifuguation = seperating the organelles = to seperate a particular organelle from all the others.25
387916696Explain the process of ultracentrifugation.1) Cell fragments are poured into a tube. The tube is put in a centrifuge and is spun at low speed. The heaviest organelles get flung to the bottom of the tube by the centrifuge. 2) the supernatent (fluid above sediment) is drained off, poured into another tube and spun in the centrifuge at a higher speed. the heaviest organelles form a pellet at the bottom, the supernatant is drained and spun at a higher speed. 3) The process in repeated at higher speeds until all the organelles are seperated.26
387916697Explain what order organelles are seperated in ultracentrifugation1) nuclei 2) mitochondria 3) lysosome 4) endoplasmic recticulum 5) ribosomes27
387916698Explain the two types of microscope - light and electronlight = they have a lower resolution than electron microscopes they use light Electron microscopes = They use electrons they have a higher resolution so give a more detailed image28
387916699Explain the strengths and weaknesses of the transmission scanning microscope and the scanning electron microscopeTEM = good because they give high resolution images, but bad because they can only use thin specimens SEM = good because they can be used on thick specimens but bad because they give a lower resolution29
387920617Explain what an aneurysm isAneurysm is a balloon-like swelling of the artery. Atheroma plaques damage and weaken arteries, they narrow arteries increasing blood pressure. When blood travels through a weakened artery at high pressure, it may push inner layers through the outer elastic layer to form an aneurysm. This may burst - causing a haemorrahage30
387920618Explain what thrombosis is.Thrombosis is a formation of a blood clot. An atheroma plaque can rupture the endothelium damaging the artery wall and leaving a rough surface platelets and fibrin accumulate at the site of damage and form a blood clot This blood clot can cause a complete blockage of the artery or it can become dislodged and block a blood vessel elsewhere in the body. Debris from the rupture can cause another blood clot to form furthur down the artery.31
387920619Explain what atheroma is.If damage occurs to the endothelium, white blood cells and lipids clump together to form fatty streaks. over time, white blood cells, lipds and connective tissue builds up and hardens to form an atheroma - a fibrous plague. It blocks the lumen of the artery and restricts blood flow, which causes blood pressure to increase.32
387920620Explain the process of the cardiac cycle.1) The sino-atrial node (SAN) sends out impulses across atrial walls 2) This causes the right and left atria to contract at the same time / causes atrial systole 3) impulses can not cross to ventricles due to non conducting tissue 4) Waves of electrical activity are transferred from the SAN to the atrioventricular node (AVN) 5) new impulse travels down bundle of His 6) slight delay before the AVN reacts to make sure ventricles contract after atria empty 7) bundle of His conducts impulses to the purkyne fibres. 8) purkyne fibres carry the impulses to the muscular walls of the right and left ventricles causing ventricles to contract from bottom up.33
387920621Describe what happens in inspiration and expiration in the lungs.inspiration: 1) the intercostal and diaphragm muscles contract. 2) this causes the ribcage to move upwards and downwards and the diaphragm to flatten increasing the volume of the throax 3) As the volume of the throax increases, the lung pressure decreases. 4) This causes air to flow into the lungs. Inspiration requires energy. Expiration: 1) The intercostal and diaphragm muscles relax 2) the ribcage moves downwards and inwards and the diaphragm becomes curved again 3) the thorax volume decreases, causing the air pressure to increase 4) air is forced out of the lungs. it doesnt require energy.34
387920622Explain what happens when someone gets cholera1) The toxin causes chloride ion protein channels in the plasma membranes of the small intestine epithelial cells to open. 2) chloride ions move into the small intestine lumen. The build up of chloride ions lowers the water potential of the lumen. 3) water moves out of the blood across the epithelial cells and into the small intestine lumen by osmosis. 4) the increase in water secretion in intestine leads to diarrhoea causing the body to become dehydrated.35

1366810350AdaptationAny inherited characteristic that increases an organism's chance of survival16
1366810351Survival of the fittestIndividuals with characteristics that are not well suited to their environment either die or leave few offspring. Individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully17
1366810352Natural selectionResults in changes (that increase a species' fitness in its environment) in the inherited characteristics of a population.18
1366810353Descent with modificationEach living species has descended, with changes, from other species over time19
1366810354Common descentAll species were derived from common ancestors20
1366810355Evidence of evolutionFossil record, geographic distribution of living species, homologous body structures, and similarities in embryology21
1366810356Homologous structuresStructures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues22
1366810357Vestigial organsTraces of organs that were used in other species23
1366810358Sources of genetic variationMutations and gene shuffling24
1366810359Gene poolConsists of all genes, including all the different alleles, that are present in a population.25
1366810360Relative frequency (of an allele)Number of times that the allele occurs in a gene pool, compared with the number of times other alleles for the same gene occur26
1366810361The number of phenotype a produced for a given trait depends onHow many genes control the trait27
1366810362Single-gene traitControlled by a single gene that has two alleles28
1366810363Polygenic traitsMany traits that are controlled by two or more genes29
1366810364Natural selection on single-gene traits can lead toChanges in allele frequencies and thus to evolution30
1366810365Natural selection can affect the distributions of phenotypes in any of three ways:Directional selection, stabilizing selection, or disruptive selection31
1366810366Directional selectionWhen individuals at one end if the curve have higher fitness than individuals in the middle or at the other end.32
1366810367Stabilizing selectionWhen individuals near the center of the curve have higher fitness than individuals at either end of the curve.33
1366810368Disruptive selectionWhen individuals at the upper and lower ends of the curve have higher fitness than individuals near the middle34
1366810369Genetic driftRandom change in allele frequency35
1366810370Over time, a series of chance occurrences can causeAn allele to become common in a population36
1366810371Founder effectAllele frequencies change as a result of the migration of a small subgroup of a population37
1366810372Hardy-Weinberg principleStates that allele frequencies in a population will remain constant unless one or more factors cause those frequencies to change38
1366810373Genetic equilibriumSituation in which allele frequencies remain constant39
1366810374The five conditions that are requires to maintain genetic equilibrium in a populationRandom mating, large population, no movement into or out of the population, no mutations, and no natural selection40
1366810375SpeciationFormation of new species41
1366810376As new species evolvePopulations become reproductively isolated from each other42
1366810377Reproductive isolationWhen the member of two populations cannot interbreed and produce fertile offspring43
1366810378Behavioral isolationWhen two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies that involve behavior44
1366810379Geographic isolationWhen two populations are separated by geographic barriers45
1366810380Temporal isolationWhen two or more species reproduce at different times46
1366810381Peter and Rosemary Grant have demonstrated thatNatural selection is still a force in the evolution of the Galápagos finches47
1366810382Speciation in Darwin's finches occurred byFounding of a new population, geographic isolation, changes in the new population's gene pool, reproductive isolation, and ecological competition48
1366810383MacroevolutionLarge-scale evolution are patterns and processes that occur over long periods of time49
1366810384Six important topics in macroevolutionExtinction, adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, coevolution, punctuated equilibrium, and changes in developmental genes50
1366810385Adaptive radiationA single species or a small group of species has evolved into diverse forms that live on different ways51
1366810386Convergent evolutionUnrelated organisms come to resemble one another52
1366810387CoevolutionProcess by which two species evolve in response to changes in each other over time53
1366810388Punctuated equilibriumPattern if long, stable period interrupted by brief period of more rapid change54
1366810389Changes in the expression of developmental genes mayExplain how these difference evolved55
1366810390Mass extinctionMany types of living things became extinct at the same time56
