Define a Tissue

A tissue is a group of cells with similar structure and function working together.

Give an example of a Tissue and it's function

1. Muscular tissue can contract to bring about movement



2. Glandular tissue contains secretory cells that can produce and release substances such as enzymes and hormones.



3. Epithelial tissue covers the outside of your body as well as your internal organs.

Define an Organ

Organs are collections of tissues. Each organ contains several tissues, all working together to perform a specific function.

Define and Organ System

Organ systems are groups of organs that all work together to perform specific functions.

Put the following into order, smallest to biggest:


-Organ


-Cell


-System


-Tissue

Cell, Tissue, Organ, System

What organs are part of the Digestive System?

Gut, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and pancreas

There are 5

What organs are part of the Circulatory System?

Heart, arteries, veins, blood etc.

What organs are part of the Respiratory System?

Lungs, alveoli, trachea

What organs are part of the Reproductive System?

Uterus, penis, ovaries

What organs are part of the Nervous System?

Brain, spinal cord

What organs are part of the Excretory System

Kidneys, lungs

What organs are part of the Muscular Skeletal System

Muscles, bones

What organs are part of the Endocrine System?

Pancreas, thyroid gland

What is the function of the Liver?

Producing bile

What is the function of the Stomach?

Breaking down large insoluble molecules into smaller molecules

What is the function of the Small intestine?

Breaking down large insoluble molecules into smaller soluble molecules and absorbtion

What is the function of the Large Intestine?

Absorbing water from undigested food

What is the function of the Pancreas?

Makes and releases Digestive juices containing enzymes to break down your food

What is the name and chemical formula for the single sugar unit in some carbohydrates?

Glucose - C6H12O6

What is the name of carbohydrates that are made of two sugar units joined together?

Sucrose

Name 2 examples of more complex carbohydrates

Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose

What is the name of one 'Sugar unit'?

A simple sugar

State the importance of having carbohydrates in our diet

Energy source - break down glucose in respiration to release energy for metabolic reactions

What 2 substances are Lipids made of?

1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids

State the importance of having Lipids in our diet

Energy store, make up cell membranes, steroid

What are proteins made up of?

Amino acids

State the importance of having proteins in our diets

Structural components, hormones, antibodies, enzymes

Name the chemical reagent used to test for starch

Iodine

What colour is a positive result for starch test

Blue-black

What is the chemical reagent used to test for sugars

Benedict's solution

What is the positive result for sugars

Orange/ brick-red

What is the chemical reagent used to test for proteins

Biuret solution

What is the positive result for proteins

Purple

What is the reagent used for lipids

Ethanol + water

What is the positive result for lipids

White milky layer

Define a catalyst

A substance which increases the speed of reaction, without being changed or used up in the reaction

Define an enzyme

A biological catalyst that speeds up reactions

Explain what the active site is

The site on an enzyme where the substrate fits

Briefly describe the lock and key model

Substrate fits into the active site to form enzyme-substrate molecule -


-> Reaction occurs --> enzyme releases products and binds to another substrate

Explain what the word denature means

Loss of active site

How does temperature affect enzymes' rate of reaction

As temperature increases, rate of reaction increases until after optimum temperature when the enzyme denatures

Why do enzymes stop working working past their optimum temperatures

Denatured (substrate can no longer bind to active site)

What enzyme digests carbohydrates

Carbohydrase

What enzyme digests starch

Amylase

What enzyme digests proteins

Proteases

Where is Carbohydrase (e.g. Amylase) produced

Mouth, pancreas, small intestine

Where is protease produced

Stomach, pancreas, small intestine

Where is lipase produced

Pancreas, small intestine
