Asexual reproduction

Production of identical offspring from a single parent

Sexual reproduction

Production involving two gametes formed by the process of meiosis by 1 or more parent plant

Pollination

When the pollen (male gamete) is transferred to the stigma (female part) from the anther (male part) of the plant

Wind pollinated flowers

small, dull colours, no scent

Insect pollinated flowers

Bright large petals, nectar and fragrance

Fertilisation

The fusion of the male gamete and female gamete that produces and offspring such as a seed to then under go germination

Germination factors

Water, oxygen, warmth

Warmth

Enzymes require optimum temperature to function. This means the enzymes can break down starch to be used for respiration

Respiration equation

Glucose + oxygen = atp energy + h20 + co2 + heat

Oxygen

Required to activate enzymes in the seed needed for respiration

Water

Enters through micropyle and softens testa so the radicle can emerge to form the seed

Warmth not at optimum temp

Enzymes will decrease and then bonds holding the enzyme together will break and this causes the shape of the enzymes to change and the active site will no longer fit the substrate... Enzymes will not carry out biological function

Testa

Protects the seed from bacteria and insects... Softens when water comes through

Cotyledon

Stores food containing protein, fats and starches that provide energy for developing seeds

Plumule

Short bud

Radicle

Root

Micropyle

Small hole in testa for water absorption

Germination

Growth of a plant embryo after dormancy

Photosynthesis

Process whereby light energy from the sun will be converted into chemical energy in the form of sugar (glucose)

Photosynthesis equation

C02 + water ( chlorophyll + sunlight ) = glucose + oxygen

Chloroplast

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplast where the chlorophyll absorb the Suns energy

Vein

Carry out water to all plants of leaf and collect and carry the food made in the leaf cells

Leaf margin

The outer edge of leaf so plants don't eat the leaf so that it can make photosynthesis

Lamina ( leaf blade)

The surface that is positioned to receive so lights. Thin to allow light to reach all cells within leaf

Main rib

Provides support to the leaf

Incisors

Chisel like teeth located at the front of the jaw

Canines

Pointed teeth to puncture and tear meet

Molars

Large flat surfaced teeth at the back of the jaw

Carnivore teeth

Canines- long and sharp to kill prey and tear meet


Pointed incisors- to scrape meat off the bone


Sharp Jagged molars - to cut through meat

Herbivores teeth

Large flat Molars - crushing and grinding of food


Broad flat incisors - cutting plant material

Diastema

Herbivores have a diastema yo brake down chewed food as much as possible

Saliva

Contains an enzyme called amylase... Breaks down carbohydrates into complex sugars . Starch into glucose

Peristalsis

The movement used to pass a good bolus down the digestive system... Wave like contraction of muscles down the oesophagus

Function of stomach

Contains gastric pita which secret gastric juices... Contains hydrochloric acid

Function of stomach

Contains gastric pita which secret gastric juices... Contains hydrochloric acid

Pancreas

Produces pancreatic justices with contain enzymes


Protease- breaks down proteins into amino acids


Lipase - fat into fatty acids and glycerol


Amylase - complex carbohydrates into simple sugars - optimum Ph is 7.5

Microbes

Breaks down plant material

Herbivore stomachs

Do not have Pepsin... Have microbes instead

Herbivore stomachs

Do not have Pepsin... Have microbes instead

Carnivore stomachs

Have pepsin to break down protein into amino acids

Small intestines

3 parts


Duodenum- short segment after stomach


Jejunum- longest portion


Ileum - regulates movement of materials from small intestine to large intestine
