Summer 2004 & 2005 selection

Some animals have subcutaneous skin

Proteins are secreted by phagoexcretion

Tissue performs an inert requirement whereas organs perform a role in the body - it could be what is called "flesh"

Ribosomes structure: in shape it is a circular oval

Resolution:
- allows you to make 2 blurry objects into 1 object
- how distinguished a picture is

A catalyst speeds up a reaction without being used

A catalyst speeds up a reaction without reacting

Activation energy :
- the minimum amount of energy needed to activate the activity of an enzyme
- the amount of energy needed to activate an enzyme and does not take part in a reaction

Function of the tail of a sperm:
used to propel the sperm through the testicles

Why does photosynthesis take place most rapidly in the summer?
Because bees are out to move the seeds about

Rhododendrons:
take the light away
stop the sun

Explain why the new breed of potato may lead to crops failing:
Aphids that are resistant will get bigger and bigger.

Why are there no blood vessels in the cornea?
Because then we would see red.

oxohaemoglobin

If ciliary muscles contract with less force it means
- the curvature of the reflected rays won't be as clear.
- the lens is less focussed
- eyesight will be less vivid

When reading a book, in the eye the lens projects the words at the fovea

Why is nectar an adequate diet for the adult butterfly?
Butterfly does not need to look to the long term, unlike the larva.

The concentration gradient causes the blood to break away from haemoglobin and enter the cells.

In the lungs haemoglobin diffuses into red blood cells.

To reduce heat loss, the distance of blood vessels from the skin is increased

In a fish's gill, capillaries move in the opposite direction to the water

Negative feedback is the feedback of negative things so that the brain takes action

By cohesion-tension theory, the xylem vessel should be taught

At night, the tree is frightened to lose water

Comment on an experiment involving desert rats:
this group lost water in the dessert

Stimulation speeds up the heart race

The snake could kill its prey by suffolkating it.

To obtain accurate results we will include a process of repentance (replication?)

Cone cells are sensitive to light and rod cells are not

Part of brain: the medusa

Bundle of vis

The impulse passes along non-conductive fibres

The resting potential is established by creating a very negative concentration of Na+ ions in the axon

In C4 photosynthesis CO2 is converted to CO4

At the blind spot light is reflected directly down the optic nerve

If the cacti is farther away from the sun there is a chance there is more water.

Name an enzyme (clue: ends with -ase):
striptease
[might have meant streptokinase]
