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. |
|
|

|
|
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 |
|

Blue-black |
|
|

|
|
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 |
