what i did and really made me more confident with the paper is that i did 2-4 past papers and recorded my results and look if you get more than 35/40 without revising then ur doing great and the 5 marks you lost you could then dig out those topics and then flick throuh the notes to refresh ur memory about it anf i guarantee u'll do great. Gd luck

Hey IG boy.. i was having problem with understand the digestion process.. plz write me the complete process.. cud u plz help me..thanks in advance.!!

ok man its not a problem and its simple look first of all the digestion starts in the mouth with chemical and mechanical digestion. Amylase is used to break down starch to glucose and theeth is used to grind and chew food. Food is pushed down the oesophagus through perstalisis then enters the sotmach chemical digestion happens here... Pepsin breaks down the protiens to amino acids and HCl is used to denature the amalyse from the mouth.

I Hope it helps!

It's A cuz when sewage enters the river it promotes growth of algae and bacteria feed on them;use up a lot of oxygen. But as u go downstream most of the nutrients in the sewage r either used up or fed upon by bacteria......so the groeth of algae and number of bacteria decrease and this restores the level of oxygen.

Tell me if u didn't get it

The table shows the percentage of protein, fat and carbs in 4 samples of dried food.
Which has the highest energy

     Protein      fat      carbs
A.    76           9         15
B.    17           0         83
C.    33           32       35
D.    15           85        0

I said D. Is that the correct answer?
I lost the first page so I dont know what year it is. Can someone tell me which year and month the paper is?

here u go

three kinds of cardiac holes — Patent Foramen Ovales (PFOs), Ventricular Septal Defects (VSDs) and Fenestrated Fontans (FFs). PFOs are holes in the heart needed before birth to transfer oxygenated blood from the umbilical cord to the unborn child; if a PFO remains open after birth, it creates a pathway for blood clots. VSDs are abnormal openings between the heart’s chambers that can lead to heart failure. An FF defect results from the Fontan procedure which corrects congenital cardiac defects in people born with three chambered hearts but creates a fenestration, or window-like hole, that eventually must be closed.

well..heteorygous brown eyes woman, and blue eyes man..and allele for brown eye is dominant..so if we assume tht brown allele is B, and blue allele is b..then, the woman is Bb and the man is bb
after we cross the Bb with bb..the offspring are Bb Bb bb bb...ratio is 1:1...so that means..for blue eyes (bb), probability is 1 in 2 (50%) that is A

"in an unborn child, there is a hole in the septum b/w the left and right atria. What is the purpose of this?"
The septum is a tissue that prevents the deoxygenated blood in the right side of the heart from the oxygenated blood in the leftside of the heart
So if there is a hole then the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood mixes
Hope that helped

this is how they exactly do it....my grandmom does it so ive asked the doc. There r 3 ways
By Joining an artery to a nearby vein, under the skin, makes a fistula. This increases
the amount of blood that flows through the vein, and makes it bigger. This is the
best access because it has fewer complications and lasts longer.
If your veins are not suitable for a fistula, then the surgeon may connect an artery
and vein with a soft plastic tube under the skin. This is called a graft.
Both the fistula and graft need time to heal and mature before they are used. The
fistula needs at least 6 weeks and a graft, at least 2 weeks before they can be used.
After the graft or fistula is mature, two needles will be placed, one on the arterial
side, and one on the venous side. The needles are connected to the tubing leading
to the dialysis machine where your blood is cleaned and returned to you.
The third type of access is a catheter. There are two kinds of catheters, temporary
and permanent. The temporary catheter is used for a very short time, one to two
weeks. They are placed in the neck or in the upper leg or groin area, and are only
used until a more permanent access is able to be placed and used. A permanent
catheter is placed in the neck vein and tunneled under the skin so it is hidden
under your clothes. It is good for about a year. This catheter is a risk for infection
and is used only until a fistula or graft can be placed.

my granny did it through the neck when she first started now it's the fistula

The human kidneys are not immune from damage. And when they are damaged and stop functioning, those toxins like urea stop being removed from the body, leading to death. There are two ways we can deal with this problem, the first being dialysis. The machine used in dialysis is called the dialysis machine, and relies on a process called dialysis to clean the blood.

A person’s blood leaves their body and flows into the machine, through partially permeable membranes. After the membranes comes the dialysis fluid, which contains a certain concentration of substances to ensure diffusion of unwanted substances from the blood into the fluid. However, glucose remains in the blood.

The dialysis machine prevents unwanted substances from building up and restores them to normal levels, so the patient can live a normal life – but they will build up again after a couple of days, which means regular dialysis must be done, which sometimes means dialysis machines are fitted in the patients’ homes. They have to remain attached to the machine for about eight hours each time.

But it is essential the patient does not lose vital substances from the blood like glucose and important mineral ions. The way this is done is by having the dialysis fluid at exactly the right concentration so there is no net movement of glucose and mineral ions from blood plasma out into the fluid. It also contains the normal content of mineral ions, so that any excess mineral ions are lost by diffusion, but no more.

There is no urea in the dialysis fluid, so there is a very strong concentration gradient for the urea – so it simply leaves the blood in its entirity.

Disadvantages of these machines include:

repeated use at 8 hours per use
must also follow a strict, healthy diet
after some years, the levels can be hard to maintain


These are some notes on dialysis machine hope you like them.

Hey! Can some one explain May/June 2004 Q29 and Q30?

Which shows the sex chromosomes in the body cells and in the sex cells in a man?
  body cells  sex cells
A XX            all X
B XX            all XX
C XY            X or Y
D XY            all XY

30 In humans, which types of variation are shown by blood group and height?
   blood group    height
A continuous continuous
B continuous discontinuous
C discontinuous continuous
D discontinuous discontinuous

The answer for both is C.

no prob aquarian..

and examsaresoon..
for the first one..since its a male..all body cells have ofcourse XY...but for the sperms..50% have X, and 50% have Y..that is why there is a 50% chances at fertilization that its a boy or girl..
for the second..discontinous, is when there are distinct forms with no intermediates..and no environmental influence...continuous is when there are many forms with genetic and environmental influence..blood group can either be A, B, O or AB so discontinuous...and height can be literally anything...and is affected by parents height, and what we eat...so continuous...hope it helps..

hmmm..not right.....Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen in air to ammonium compounds and nitrifying bacteria convert ammonium compounds to nitrates and nitrites. Denitrifying bacteria converts the ions back to nitrogen.

It's Y chromosome

Allele is an alternative form of a gene. Chromosomes r responsible for the resulting gender. Males contain 1 X and 1Y chromosome and females have both X chromosomes

err What u said is exactly wa i said bou the nitrogen fixing bacteria......ammonium compounds or nitrate ions and ammonia contains nitrogen so OH WELL! ...... nitrigen ions are definitely correct and are specifically mentioned in ma IGCSE txt book and is ideal as it helps plants make protien required for growth by tha plant etc....

 this is correct sweety but we r supposed to know it like this;this is the base for y it changes with time and y it doesn't

Continuous variation are features/characteristics which are affected by both the environment and the genes like height and weight
Discontinuous variation are features/characteristics which are affected only by the genes and not by the environment like blood group,ability to roll your tongue,lobed ears

what did you'll write for direction of water flow in the plant?? which letter?? the question where there were circles marked on the plant..
and what did you put for the function of the cilia?? traps bacteria or moves mucus??
And the question where the paper is blue in colour which turns pink when in gets in contact with water?? whch plant?? X or Y??..



the answer was A fir direction .....function of cilia was moving mucus....the  blue to pink was the plant X under the leaf...

A showed phloem.the water moves from xylem to stoma and out....so it was B(through stomata). pls delete the post if it is not 24 hrs yet

i wrote the letter that marked the xylem. the cilia moves mucus, and do you mean the protein and starch question? the starch went blue/black and the protein went purple (biuret A+B test)

B. A was referring to vascular bundle- there are cells above the vein so it would only be down hence the stomata

the paper was eazy thought i messed 3 questions...guys just a hint study..wat amphids lack in their diet...and also..which vessels carry glucose frm kidney lolz....umm wat else...yea so no more hints...gud luk..


i marked..lacks water and artrey only..is it right??


veins and arteries, and fat


it lacks water cuz phloem can not caarry water n they said amphids are sent through phloem....therefore lacks water

its not water its fats,.. because the phloem has some water along with the amino acids.. but the plants has no fat..so fats is a more suitable answer

no it doesn't.trust me, i know. fats is da answer and we'll see that after a few months when the markschemes r on FEP

. By the way it's not like phloem lacks water. all substances transported are in water solution. that's why glucose can be dissolved and transported but starch cannot. fats r too big to be transported in the phloem. fats are found in fruits' seeds

phloem tubencarries sugar fats and proteins according to the youtube thingy
and if it was fats then why couldnt it be amino acids cuz it was one of the choices there right and they kinda are the same

don't look at the youtube. trust me phloem does not transport fats.all substances in phloem r in a solution.fats r insoluble, glucose and amino acids are so they are transported.

It could only be water. Sucrose and amino acids are translocated, says in the syllabus. Phloem tube carry food substances, so, they carry fats. So only choice left is water.

there's two ways to it.. you could go around doing ur past papers if u have n understanding of the whole syllabus.. but preferably you go trhough ur notes.. jsut look at a copy of the syllabus.. strike out the ones you know by heart n go through the ones u dont.. the syllabus also gives some answers.. i found the equation for lactic acid in there.. n they never asked it befoer so u never know..

n if u get stuck somewhere just type something in youtube.. its bound to help.. HOope this gives u an insight of what to do.. u still have two more days.. more than enough to get everything digested.. Good luck all!!

do we have to learn zona pellucida.. i've never come across it in any of the papers or the syllabus.. but here's the definition anyways..

Zona pellucida: The strong membrane that forms around an ovum as it develops in the ovary. The membrane remains in place during the egg's travels through the  Fallopian tube. To fertilize the egg, a sperm must penetrate the thinning zona pellucida. If fertilization takes place, the membrane disappears to permit implantation in the uterus.

cud any1 explain how a potometer and a kidney dailysis machine
works
Thanks
it will b a big  help if sum1 answers this


Kidney Dailysis machine :

1. Dialysis is needed when both kidneys fail
2. it involves filtering of blood using a dailysis machine
3. the machine is connected up to a vein in the patients arm
4. the blood then passes through tube in the machine
5.urea and waste products: diffuse out and filtered blood returns to the arms
6. sugar and ions do not diffuse out of the blood into dailysis fuild.

Potometer:

It is designed to measure the rate of uptake of water in a cut shoot.

1. Set up the conditions of the experiment. Alterations to lighting (placing the plant in bright light or shadow), wind (directing a fan at the plant), and humidity (placing the plant in a humid chamber) are typical.
2. Let the bubble reach a "zero" point in the tube.
3. Measure the movement of the bubble at regular intervals and record the results.

Hope tht help :)

Well, mechanical digestion, is like ingestion- eating, chewing..right?
and chemical, takes place in the gut.. so
 organis involves..

-mechanical- tounge (is than an organ?) Mouth? Teeth? hahah
-chemical- oesaphagus,stomach, large intestine, small intestine.. hmm?

mechanical digestions is the breaking down of the food from big pieces into smaller pieces so..
there's actually two organs that are involved in this the teeth(mouth whicever u prefer) and also the stomach since the stomach has a churning movement..

chemical digestion is the breaking down of large molecules present into smaller ones so that they can be absorbed by the body.. pretty much like sucrose to glucose etc..
chemical digestion happens by the help of enzymes.. n also u have to remember that the mouth, stomach, n small intestines do this digestion.. not the large intestines since no digestive enzyme is secreted there..

correct me if i got any of these facts wrong

Tell me about them..and also..Where do they grow towards. I always thought they grew towards light.. but then in a past paper they said they grew away from light. Now also, in a past paper it also says that too many auxins will kill a plant.

The auxim auxin accumulate on the shady side which causes the shoot to grow towards light.

hope tht helps :)

auxin is used as a herbicide for weeds...as they complete their lifecycle and turn into manure<-- [weeds]
too much auxin will make the plant grow and may kill it... :-\
well...whn sunlight hits the plant the AUXIN go on to the shaded part in the plant and make the plant absorb more water on da shaded side so makes it heavir and so the unshaded part of the plant...PLANT grows towards the SUNLIGHT...NOT THE AUXINS...and therefore grow this way
hope this helps... :)

Auxins r known as plant hormones. They grow in the root and shoot tips. It causes growth in plants. They have opposite effects in the shoot and root. In shoots auxins absorb more water whereas in roots they absorb less water. They are photosensitive.So when they r placed in light the auxins in the shoot move towards the shaded area and absorb more water here,causing imbalance and thus bending towards light(known as positive phototropism). whereas in roots when they move towards the shaded area(bottom part) it absorbs less water and it is heavier above than below and so it bends downwards,away from light(negative phototropism)

when excess Auxins r added to plants they cause rapid growth and respiration. The growth is incontrollable and the cells divide rapidly(like cancer for e.g....not literally) and result in death of the plant

Auxins are negatively phototrophic.. They hate light.. So think of it like darth vader.. bear with me on this one.. Auxins accumulate on the "DARK SIDE" of the shoot.. As you know.. auxins are growth hormones that the plant secretes(can i use tat word) so accumulation on only one side of the plant the "DARK SIDE" will cause one sided growth.. The "DARK SIDE" of the plant grows more than the one exposed to light.. This causes one sided growth making the dark side grow more n longer causing it to bend towards the light...

whereas for geotropism.. Auxins are positively geotrophic.. Auxins will collect on the lower sides of the shoot tip and root tip due to gravity..

A high concentration of ausxins in the shoot stimulates one sided growth so it grows upwards towards the sky showing negative geotropism..
The auxins on the root collect on the lower side but they do not promote cell elongation.. they actually inhibit cell elongation so the upper side of the root grows longer than the lower side causing the root tip to bend downwards.. this shows positive geotropism in roots..

please do correct me if im wrong.. I dont wanna be giving out misleading information

Heya!

Kindly , can anyone post a brief advantage/disadvantage list of both asexual & sexual reproduction  :D?

Good luck ~

Asexual:
- allows for a quick "doubling" of populations (faster)
- less energy required for reproduction
- daughter offspring look exactly and have the same genetic material as the parent
- lack of genetic variation
- population may go extinct with dramatic changes in environment

Sexual:
- allows for genetic variation due to the joining of two different individuals (VERY important for humans)
- less population growth
- slower process
- requires long-term energy use

hope this helps :)

Good luck ~

Asexual reproduction requires only one parent, it doubles itself and the daughter organism is exactly the same as the parent individual.. they have the same genetic make up they're pretty much the same,, its like when u make a photcopy of something..

Sexual reproduction requires two parents, gametes are used.. the process is slower n generally takes a longer time, the individual formed is new and has genetic information from both the father n the mother..

pretty much tats all i got.. not too sure about disadvantages n advantages..

i just follow the trends in the past papers.. so far I've found out that there's almost always a question on seed germination.. auxins could come.. most likely.. n pretty much the whole of the extended syllabus lol..

yes its pretty vague i know.. but predictions dont reli help much anyways..

What are the functions of the lymphatic system other than, produce phagocytes, absorb fatty acid and glycerol, transport lymph nodes (briefly)

Thanks in advance :)

The Lymphatic System:

-It is a collection of lymphvessels and glands
It has 3 main roles:

1. The return of tissue fluid to the blood in the form of lymph fluid This prevents fluid build-u in the tissues.
2. The production of lymphocytes.These are made in lymph glands such as the tonsils, adenoids, spleen. The glands become more active during an infection because they are producing and releasing large numbers of lymphocytes.
3.The absorption of fatty acids an glycerol from the small intestine. Each villus contains a  lacteal- a blind ending lymph vessel

Hope it helped    :)

The role of the lymphatic system..

1 to drain the tissue fluid back in to the blood
2 to defend the body against disease by producing lymphocytes which relase antibodies to react with antigens (pathogens)
3 to transports lipids, glycerol and fat soluble vitamins, A,D, E and K from the lacteal (lymph capillary) of the villus back into the circulatory system
4 transport water, hormones, glucose, amino acids, minerals and heat in the interstitial fluid (tissue fluid)
5 transport waste products such as CO2, and nitrogenous compounds from the tissue fluid in the lymphatic system

pretty much its like a whole new blood system but only for the tissue fluid.. you might also need to know where the lymphatic system is and etc.. the make up n all but these are the usual questions they ask like wat is the rold of the lymphatic system.. hope tat helps..

lol sorry about that.. its located all around the body.. its a system in itselt.. like there's the blood circulatory system.. the lymphatic system is pretty much similar to the blood circulatory system only its for draining tissue fluid and providing the essential nutrients such as O2 n Glucose to the tissue fluid and draining away all the waste such as C02 n etc.. the lacteals are located in the villus in the small intestines.. but pretty much they are everywhere near the body cells.. just like the blood circulatory system..

and again if anyone finds an error in my post ur welcomed to correct it :)
gud luck!

exactly where is the lymphatic system locatd ???
Thanks in advance

lol sorry about that.. its located all around the body.. its a system in itselt.. like there's the blood circulatory system.. the lymphatic system is pretty much similar to the blood circulatory system only its for draining tissue fluid and providing the essential nutrients such as O2 n Glucose to the tissue fluid and draining away all the waste such as C02 n etc.. the lacteals are located in the villus in the small intestines.. but pretty much they are everywhere near the body cells.. just like the blood circulatory system..
AWSM Thanks

i mean tht absoption then ultra filtration n al tht n wht is d job of phagocytes isnt it engulfing d bacteria n thts it na

k first the kidney recievs the blood from aorta via renal artires....then it goes thru absorbtion n filteration where glucose r all absorbd but excess amino ascids some salts n minerls n some water is left behind in the kidney....the filterd blood is taken bak to teh body via renal vein (vena cava)
then the waste products is sent by the ureter to the bladder where urine is stored....l8r its excretd out thru urethra..

now there r two types of white blood cells phagocyte n lymphocyte
lymphocyte produces anibodies which fites against the bacteria whereas phagocyte engulfs teh bacteria
lymphocyets are produced in the lymphatic system
hope this helps
any coorection regardin these notes r welcomed  :)

Kidneys..

Ultrafiltration.

The blood enters the glomerulus from the Afferent arteriole and it leaves through the Efferent Arteriole. The blood pressure in the AFFERENT arteriole is HIGH because it comes from the AORTA(via renal artery). When it goes out through the EFFERENT arteries which have a smaller diameter compared to the AFFERENT arteriole.. A high resistance in blood flow is caused. This produces a high hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus.. Pretty much like pushing hughe amounts of dough through a pasta maker.. (bad example  sry)

The high incoming pressure of blood in the glomerulus causes most of the constituents in the plasma to be FILTERED out of the glomerulus (through thin capillary walls with pores) into the cavity of the Bowman's Capsule..

Ultrafiltration is the process whereby all the constituents of blood plasma.. except RBS nad platelets and plasma proteins are filtered out under high pressure..

a lil long winded explanation but i hope it helps..

its a motor neuron because the cell body is at the tip, it has many dendrites on the cell body.. and only the axon is myelinated...

whereas ffor sensory neuron.. both the dendrite and the axon are myelinated, the body cell is attaced to one fibre.. its sumwhere in the middle.. but never at the tip or end..

check out their pictures on google that'll make it easier to understand

sporty's right.. we're not aware of the blindspot at all because there are absolutely zero receptors that are sensitive to light on that area.. so if any light shines and falls on our blindspot we wont be able to see it..

tat's why sumtimes when ur at the store and u have a friend or maybe ur mum with u standing just behind u to ur left or right slightly.. and u look back and talk to them for a sec and then look front.. u still think that they're there.. when infact they went off to get some icecream and you end up talking with ur face facing the front to air cause they're not there..  erm.. i dunno how i can make this explaination work.. but i hope u get wat im trying to say..

this is what i learnt fer the proper explaination fer us not being aware of our blind spot.

when we look at a blank wall, on that wall there is a real tiny black spot for our eye.that spot can't be formed as an image in our brain because it falls on the blind spot but our brain interprets that spot n fills it up so we see it as a whole image n not an image with a dot. the spot is there, we re jus "fooled" by the brain in to imaging as its not there

appreciate ur help
.
erm i dont reli understand ur question but i'll give it a shot..

Okay gaseous diffusion is obviously important because... *drum roll* we need to breathe!!!! if we dont breathe we DIE!!!

oh and plants need CO2 as well..

pretty much just mention that gaseous diffusion is important because
a) in plants CO2 is needed for photosynthesis and O2 is given out as a by product so that we humans can breathe.. If there is no CO2 being diffused into the leaf via gas exchange then no photosynthesis occurs, no photosynthesis no food, no food plant die, if die no oxygen given out thus WE DIE..

b) for humans its cause we need oxygen for out body cells to respire and produce energy.. we also need gaseous diffusion (alveoli n body cells) so that the by product of respiration which is CO2 can be diffused out since it is not needed in our body... if no CO2 is Diffused out, the levels will build up and in turn again WE DIE

Solute diffusion im guessing willhaev to do with plants... Its about the uptake of mineral ions in the soil i think.. Correct me if im wrong.. But this will haev to do with the fact that plants will need nitrates and magnesium ions so that the leaves will be able to make protein and manesium is needed to make the green pigment chlorophyll.. if it cant diffuse the nutrients.. then it cant make protein.. n magnesium cant produce chlorophyll which means plant cant make food.. and it DIES

now water as a solvent..
water is needed for various chemical reactions in our body.. We need water for metabolic reactions because the minerals and other stuff dissolve in water. When they dissolve in water this enables enzymes to react with them breaking them down into smaller more soluble molecules so tat our body can take them up and partake in the glorious consumption to make us grow, live breathe etc..
and once again if we no water.. we dehydrate.. no metabolic reactions.. WE DIE!!!!!

hope u got that.. :)

Wat do they mean when they say

- describe the importance of gaseous and solute diffusion, and of water as a solvent

appreciate ur help

with the help of gaseous diffusion in our body, we are able to breath in oxygen n breath out carbon dioxide as oxygen diffuses thru the alveoli wall n combines with the haemoglobin of the red blood cell in the capillaries.

with the help of solute diffusion, our body is able to remove urea in the kidneys or reabsorb required amount of water in the kidneys.

water acts as a solvent as it dissolves glucose in it for respiration to take place so that energy is release in the form of A.T.P. water also absorbs heat when sweat is produced in vasodialation and evaporates causing a cooling effect that cools the body.

i hope all this helps tk

N2 (in atmosphere- 78 %)
-
-
N2 -->NO3 (Symbiotic Nitrogen fixing bacteria-in leguminous plants-peas)
-
-N2 is also changed into protein for animals to eat- they die and defeacate
and purtifying bacteria (fungi- saprophyetes) turn N2 (from faecaes) into NH3
and with help of Nirtifying bacteria- NH3 is made into NO3.
AND THEN WE  HAVE NITRATES FOR THE PLANTS!! YAYYY but thats not all..

There are also Nitrogen Fixing bacteria who turn N2---> into NO3 (without all this fancy dafeacation stuff)

AND THEN there are the bacteria (that farmers hate) because they turn the valuable NO3 back into N2

Wait a minute- thats not all!

Not tooo compicated..

0-4 days- lining breaks down (the bleeding)
4-13 days- uterus lining is built up again
13-28- uterus lining is maintained-awaiting embeddment of zygote

The days are different for everyone- but thats an approximate count.

Now, the hormones.
Oestogen- is to encourage the repair of the uterus lining
progesterone- maintains the lining

FSH and LH (dont know if u have to know it- but oh well)
Follicle Stimuating hormone + luteinizing hormone- to make the ovum

Hope it Helped!
oh and ovulation (when the little egg is realeased-) happens about the 13th day- when the uterus lining is built up

their are specail cells in the senses called receptor cells wen the receptor cells are exposed to a particular stimuli they send impulses through the sensory nuerone which go to the CNS either the brain or spinal cord the brain then sends impulses through the motor nuerone to the effector which is the muscle or gland.wen the impulse reaches the effector it causes the muscle to contract or the gland to produce hormones.

an easy way to remeber motor nuerone is that that it is like our hand
cell body-palm
dendrites-fingers
arm-axonhope this helps

when adrenaline is secreted it increases the rate at which the heart beats rytt does it also increase the rate of respiration or breathing?

pls reply

Yer - I think it increases both, as if you think logicaly if you see something scary, your heart pumps faster and you pant/breath much faster.

I think I only have 1 wrong so far - the binomal system homo sapiens one..
Is anybody 100% sure what the answer for the fat/water/phloem one is?

woah woah... tats a long list u got there.. n dont hate the subject.. love it and it'l;l make sense... like how at first ppl dont make sense but when u fall in love with them it mkes sense.. lol okay enouhg beating around the bush here goes..

1. Conditioned reflexes are reflexes that you learn.. For example when you learn how to drive a car(i failed at this) your brain need to coordinate your hand on the stickshift, ur other hand on the steering wheel, one foot on the clutch and the other on the accellerator.. but after a while.. u get used to all this and ur brain and body is able to coordinate due to muscle memory..  It's like a baby learning how to walk.. once u get the hang of it all you dont even need to think twice about how where to keep ur hand on the steering wheel, when u need to put in the clutch (ugh manual testing -.-) and etc...

2. I've never studied or heard of the midbrain up till this point but i've done some digging up.. but its just basic information so here goes.. The midbrain is the smallest region of the brain that acts as a sort of relay station for auditory and visual information. It controls what we hear.. our pupilary mechanism and etc.. google it and find out more so that you can understand..

3. http://www.biologymad.com/resources/RevisionM5Ch2.pdf check this place out.. this should answer ur questions..

okay.. this is as far as i can go for now.. hop ehtis helps

http://www.s-cool.co.uk/gcse/biology/genes-and-genetics/variation.html another site for variation.. enjoy..

6.. effects of deforestation.. If u learn geo you'll know that deforestatin causese soil erosion.. the erosion of soil causes more of the earth to be washed away into the rivers causing a build up of mud.. can lead to landslides, flash floods, mud floods.. also it could cause a huge amount of pollution..

8.. i';ve never heard of positive feedback before.. but Negative feedback is what controls the AMOUNT of hormone secreted and WHEN they are secreted.. so controls the TIME of secretions and AMOUNT of seretion.. thats all of ur question i can answer.. take care n GUd luck for exams!

k a companion cell is located in the pholem vessel....since the pholem cell only has cytoplasm  the companion cell provides the phloem cell with with all its ncessaries  :)

effects of deforestation....soil erosion because nw the soil is not anchord.....the percentage of CO2 in creses as no plnt to take CO2 n convert it into O2...this can lead to global wrmin whi ch will lead to the rise in sea level due to the meltin of the polar caps

continuos varition is body mass n discontionus is the ability to roll ur tongue

n by the conditiond reflexes do u mean the reflex arc???
aneways reflex arc wrks like this....first when u suppose touch a hot plate the receptor will pick it up n the messege will b ppsd on by the sensory nurone ....the dendrites of the sensory neurone picks it up passe it on to the cell body n then the axon picks it up to pass it on to teh relay neurone then agn the dendrites picks it up passes to the cell body of the relay neurone n the the axon takes it away form teh cell body n passes to the motor neurone where agn the dendrites pick it up passes on to the cell body n then axon take it to the effectos eg muscel which then contercts to mov ethe hand away....(any correction is welcomed)
hope this helps..ahh i am in lub wif this ;)

 ;D

The plant growth hormone auxin, can be sprayed onto flowers to encourage fruit
development, even when pollination has not occurred. Auxins are also used in
weedkillers. They kill broad?leaved plants so monocotyledonous crop plants are not
affected, and have less competition. Some plant hormones can encourage root and
shoot formation, in tissue samples taken from food plants in a process called tissue
culture. Plant hormones are also used to produce seedless fruits, to promote seed
germination, to delay ripening so that fruit can be transported, to increase yield,
and to produce short stems to reduce wind damage.
In animals hormones can be used to increase milk production, and growth hormones and testosterone are used to increase meat production.

this is it.

Transpiration helps cool the plant(as water evaporates it takes away the heat)This helps during summer.(i guess this is what it means when it says different seasons)
Translocation involves transporting substances from the site of production to sites of storage and growth. e.g. glucose from leaves to rest of the plants for growth and storage(e.g tubers in potato plants)

Thanks !  :)

In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients (known as photosynthate), particularly sucrose, a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark. The phloem is mainly concerned with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. This is called translocation.

By the way... what are the decay products when bacteria act on dead organisms?
do they release Nitrogen gas, or ammonium compounds?

Q:Describe how the structure of Xylem tissue is adapted to its functions And the Mechanism of water movement through Xylem.

Q:How blood provides suitable conditions for the reproduction of viruses.

The tracheids, fibres, and vessels present in the xylem, become lignified during development, losing their living contents. This makes the tissue impermeable (to water) so none is lost as water is transported via the xylem. The tracheids' bordered pits allow for the rapid movement of water from cell to cell.

As is with tracheids, the lignification of vessels can occur as rings, spirals, scalariform or reticulate. In the first formed xylem, rings and spirals occur more frequently. This allows for a limited amount of stretching which may occur in young structures.

Both tracheids and vessels provide a pathway for the transportation of water, whilst also contributing to support.

Hope tht helps!

I really dont know any of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean tracheids?
What i know is..
Xylem:
-no cytoplasm
-cells arranged in columsn up the plant
-impregnated with waterproofing and reinforcing materials
-no cross walls (so water doesnt leak)

Tracheids are elongated cells in the xylem of vascular plants that serve in the transport of water and mineral salts.

Hi how is biology with all of you
i have alot of questions considering i hate this subject so here they are please answer quickly
1. what the hell is conditioned reflexes?
2. what is the function of the midbrain?
3. can u tell me examples of continous and discontinous variations other than height and blood group?
4. what is the water cycle?i don't have it
5. what are the effects of deforestation?
6. what is biological control?
7. what is the function of companion cells?
8. what is negative and positive feedbacks, with examples please?and what is the difference between them?

i know they are alot but i realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hate this subject and i don't get anything and the exam is tomorow
so many thanks for any contribution

woah woah... tats a long list u got there.. n dont hate the subject.. love it and it'l;l make sense... like how at first ppl dont make sense but when u fall in love with them it mkes sense.. lol okay enouhg beating around the bush here goes..

1. Conditioned reflexes are reflexes that you learn.. For example when you learn how to drive a car(i failed at this) your brain need to coordinate your hand on the stickshift, ur other hand on the steering wheel, one foot on the clutch and the other on the accellerator.. but after a while.. u get used to all this and ur brain and body is able to coordinate due to muscle memory..  It's like a baby learning how to walk.. once u get the hang of it all you dont even need to think twice about how where to keep ur hand on the steering wheel, when u need to put in the clutch (ugh manual testing -.-) and etc...

2. I've never studied or heard of the midbrain up till this point but i've done some digging up.. but its just basic information so here goes.. The midbrain is the smallest region of the brain that acts as a sort of relay station for auditory and visual information. It controls what we hear.. our pupilary mechanism and etc.. google it and find out more so that you can understand..

3. http://www.biologymad.com/resources/RevisionM5Ch2.pdf check this place out.. this should answer ur questions..

okay.. this is as far as i can go for now.. hop ehtis helps
yeah it helps alot thnk u very much

Can some one explain the COMPLETE digestion of protein please? (from entering the stomach to leaving the body)?

I think it goes like this:

The protein enters the stomach and is broken down into poly peptides and amino acids by protease. These amino acids tarvel in the blood and go to the parts to the body they are required at. Excess Amino acids are taken to the liver where they are de-aminated and then the Nitrate part of the amino acids are taken to the kideny where they are excreted with urine.

Is this right?

i know they are alot but i realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hate this subject and i don't get anything and the exam is tomorow
so many thanks for any contribution

k a companion cell is located in the pholem vessel....since the pholem cell only has cytoplasm  the companion cell provides the phloem cell with with all its ncessaries  :)

effects of deforestation....soil erosion because nw the soil is not anchord.....the percentage of CO2 in creses as no plnt to take CO2 n convert it into O2...this can lead to global wrmin whi ch will lead to the rise in sea level due to the meltin of the polar caps

continuos varition is body mass n discontionus is the ability to roll ur tongue

n by the conditiond reflexes do u mean the reflex arc???
aneways reflex arc wrks like this....first when u suppose touch a hot plate the receptor will pick it up n the messege will b ppsd on by the sensory nurone ....the dendrites of the sensory neurone picks it up passe it on to the cell body n then the axon picks it up to pass it on to teh relay neurone then agn the dendrites picks it up passes to the cell body of the relay neurone n the the axon takes it away form teh cell body n passes to the motor neurone where agn the dendrites pick it up passes on to the cell body n then axon take it to the effectos eg muscel which then contercts to mov ethe hand away....(any correction is welcomed)
hope this helps..ahh i am in lub wif this ;)


thank u alot u really helped

Functions of lymphatic system include:
1. adds lymphocytes to the blood for defence.
2. Returns excess tissue fluid to the blood as lymph.
3. Filter out bacteria from lymph by means of phagocytosis.
4. absorbs fat into lacteals of villi and discharge them to blood.

i hope that helps but don't ask me how or anything because i don't knw i just memorize.....

Thanks!!
Fungi are multiceelular organizms which have networks of hyphae called mycellium;they reproduce by production of spores and carries out saprophitic nutrition.
bacteria are unicellular organizms which hv dna and rna with no nucleus the reproduce by binary fission and their nutrition is parasitic or saprotrophic.some may have flagellum
viruses are noncellular organizms which hv dna and their nutrition is parasitic they reproduce inside a living host and hv capsid proteins along with capsumeres....

hope that helps

no..
On a hot day, when we sweat more to cool down, the body needs to conserve water so we tend to produce a small amount of concentrated urine. On a cold day a little sweat is being produced, so larger volume of dilute urine is produced.
hope this helps .. it was written in my book :)

If theres a far away  moving object, and u suddenly want to focus on it to see it clearly, what happens to ur eye to make u see the moving object clearly?
if it is far then the lens becomes big to get most light rays
to do so the circular muscle relax and radial muscles contract
does this answer yr question?
Title: Re: Biology Paper 1 and 3 help HERE ONLY!!!
Post by: kam on June 07, 2009, 09:39:38 pm
your lens bulge to see the object also the integuments slacken and the ciliary muscle is pulled thin right?


thx guys soooo much
have to wait 4 2 hours tho to rep u :-[
remind me
dunno why i keep sayn tht
i owe a lot of ppl reps 8)


@monnie
noo not radial and circular
thts to do with the iris gettin bigger an smaller

I remember this type of Q comin in PP lol...
anywayz..

The ciliary muscles Relax and move outwards and the suspensory ligaments become pulled making the lens thinner n the image is formed on retina...

I knw it might be confusin because it was for me too..actually the Main is thing is not that the object is moving..the main is that its far  :)

Thanks

Temperature regulation:
In hot environment wen the body temp. rises abv normal the blood vesseles under the surface of skin dilate(vasodilation) which results in more blood flowing  to the skin surface n greater heat loss..The sweat production also increases...the evapouration of sweat results in lowering the temperature of body

wen the temp. falls below normal the blood vessels constrict (vasoconstriction) which results in less blood flowing to the skin surface n less heat loss..also shivering occurs which generates Heat

Water regulation:
In hot days as water is also lost frm sweating the urea production is less n concentrated
In cold days its more n in a dilute form

Hope it helps  ;D

The cilliary muscle relax, giving them a larger diameter. This pulls on the suspensory legaments which in turn pull on the lense. This makes the lense thinner. As the cilliary muscles are relaxed there is no strain on the eye.

k first of all dont panic :D its just an exam so what lol

u have 2 choices, either go thru the syllabus quickly. Or just do past papers.

its ur choice ^^

if i was u i'd do past paper, cus cramming information from syllabus doesnt usually work

all that is mentioned in my textbook is :

EXTERNAL intercostal muscles contract to lift the ribcage up

EXTERNAL intercostal muscles relax so the ribcage goes back, if ur breathing hard the INTERNAL intercostal muscles contract to move the ribcage further back

i dont know the difference between the internal and external intercoastal muscles

Umm..i dnt knw the exact difference..u can say they r like the antagonistic ones..Wen one contracts the other relaxes..
They are the part of Breathing system..n situated near the rib cage
Wen u breathe in the External intercostal muscle contracts and the internal intercoastal muscles relax...the ribs are pulled upwards and outwards and the diaphragm contracts and flattens..these movements makes the volue inside thorax increase which decreases the pressure inside it..therefore the air rushes inside the throax frm High pressure(outside) to low pressure(inside thorax)

Hope it helps

i dont know the difference between the internal and external intercoastal muscles
where are they situated and wt do they do and how do they work?

both intercostal muscles are attached to the ribs, they are antagonistic. when the external intercostal muscles contract, they move the rib cage upwards & outwards, & the diaphragm muscles contract increasing the volume of the thorax.
the opposite happens when we breath ou, during a forced exhalation the internal intercostal muscles contract & the diaphragm muscles relax, decreasing the volume of the thorax.

hehe hold on there ^^

--

-What are the functions of water.
* our cells are mostly water , used to transport stuff around the body.. keeps cells turgid in plants.. cant think of more

-important of osmosis.
*cells draw water in by osmoses to keep there cells turgid and healthy

-why does active transport occurs even though we hv diffusion?
* active transport is against the concentration gradient from low concentation to high concentration.
example: when a plant takes in nitrate ions from the soil .. they take them from the soil althu the concentration in the soil is lower than the plant. Active transport needs energy so more respiration needed

nitrogen cycle
protien synthesis
antagonistic muscles and asexual/sexual reproduction.
seend dispersal- wind/insect
everything possible about the placent and homeostasis


this is all i remember.
