Front (Term) Equation for photosynthesis |
Back (Definition) Carbon dioxide + water (+ sunlight) ----------> glucose + oxygen |
|
Front (Term) Organs in the digestive system |
Back (Definition) •Glands (e.g. Pancreas & Salivary glands) - produce digestive juices •Stomach and small intestine - digest foods •Liver - produces bile •Large intestine - absorbs water from undigested food, leaving faeces |
|
Front (Term) What is a tissue? |
Back (Definition) A group of similar cells working together to carry out a particular function |
|
Muscular tissue |
Contracts to bring out movement |
|
Glandular tissue |
Makes and secretes substances like enzymes and hormones |
|
Epithelial tissue |
Covers some parts of the body |
|
Word equation for Aerobic respiration |
Glucose + oxygen -----> carbon dioxide + water + ENERGY |
|
Respiration |
Respiration is the process of releasing energy from glucose, which goes in every cell |

Substances that can diffuse through cell membranes |
Very small molecules such as oxygen, glucose, amino acids and water. |
|
Three ways a sperm cell is adapted for swimming to an egg cell |
•It has a long tail •Streamlined head •Lot of mitochondria in the cell to provide energy |
|
What is the green substance in leaves that absorbs sunlight? |
Chlorophyll |
|
Name the three factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis |
Light intensity Carbon Dioxide Concentration Temperature |
|
Why is it important that a plant doesn't get too hot? |
The enzymes it needs for photosynthesis and other reactions will be damaged. |
|
Describe three things that a gardener could do to make sure she grows a good crop of tomatoes in her greenhouse |
Paraffin heater (increases level of carbon dioxide) Ventilation (to cool things down, when it gets too hot) Artificial light (when the sun goes down) |
|
Give five environmental factors that affect the distribution of organisms |
Temperature Availability of water Availability of nutrients Availability of oxygen and carbon dioxide Amount of light |
|
State four functions of proteins in living cells |
•Catalysts •Structural components of tissues •Hormones •Tissues |
|
Name three plant organs |
Stems, roots and leaves. |
|
Name three plant tissues |
Epidermal tissue - covers the plant Mesophyll - carried out photosynthesis Xylem and phloem - transports substances around the plant |

What is an organ? |
An organ is a group of tissues working together to perform a particular function |
|
Three examples of tissues in the stomach, and say what job they do. |
•Muscular tissue - moves the stomach wall to churns up the food •Glandular tissue - makes digestive juices to digest food •Epithelial tissue - covers the outside and inside the stomach |
|
Name one organ system found in the human body |
