Glucose = respiration
Amino Acids = make proteins e.g. enzymes
Fatty Acid & Glycerol = make phospholipid for membranes
Why is all the light energy not utilised by plants in photosynthesis? only 2% is used in
photosynthesis – of the rest, a certain part misses the chloroplast, the other parts would be
reflected or the wrong wavelength
not all the glucose made by producers is stored as starch or used to build biomass,
as a certain part is lost in respiration (as heat)
not all the stored energy in the plant is transferred to primary consumers as certain
parts of the plant are inedible and indigestible (available to decomposers)
of the energy the primary consumer obtains, a certain amount is used in respiration,
the rest is stored as glycogen and used to build biomass
not all this stored energy is transferred to secondary consumers due to inedible parts
and indigestible parts (available to decomposers)
only 10% of energy is transferred from producer to primary consumer
only 20% of energy is transferred from consumer to consumer
the losses are due to respiration, inedible parts, indigestible parts
higher proportion is transferred from consumer to consumer because consumers are
more edible and digestible, producers are made up of cellulose
the higher consumers have the highest respiratory losses as they have increased
movement (hunt for food)
Effect of energy loss on a food chain? places a limit on the length of a food chain, those at
the higher trophic levels (just quaternary consumers) would not obtain enough energy from the
food it consumes
What is Productivity?
number of each type of organism at each trophic level – the numbers decrease as
we move up trophic levels due to the loss of energy (not as many individuals can
be supported)
can look inverted when it does not take into account mass (e.g. 1 oak tree or millions
of fleas)
so as we move along a food chain (up trophic levels) there is a loss of energy due
to respiration/inedible parts/indigestible parts, so there is less energy to build
biomass, so biomass decreases
What is photosynthesis?
Structure of chloroplast?
site of photosynthesis
has a double membrane (outer and inner)
contains discs called thylakoids (contain chlorophyll)
a stack of thylakoids = granum
thylakoids are surrounded by a fluid material called stroma
In 2 stages
light dependent stage = on thylakoids, makes ATP and reduced NADP
light independent stage = in stroma, uses the ATP and reduced NADP to make
glucose
the H+ joins with the reduced NADP (now carries a hydrogen atom: H+ and e-)
the e- replaces electrons lost from chlorophyll
O given off as waste
2
What are the limiting factors for photosynthesis? factors that limit the rate of
photosynthesis, when these factors are increased – the rate of photosynthesis increases, these
are Light and CO and Temperature
2
RuBP decreases – being converted into GP but not being reformed from TP (no
ATP)
GP increases – not converted into TP (no ATP/reduced NADP) but is being formed
from RuBP
RuBP increases – not converted into GP (no CO ) but is being reformed from TP
2
GP decreases – not being formed from RuBP (no CO ) but being converted into TP
2
the point in the day (light intensity) when the CO taken in by photosynthesis equals
2
at high light intensity: rate of photosynthesis > rate of respiration [CO absorbed]
2
the plant is kept in darkness before experiment runs (uses up all the O in the plant)
2
as the experiment runs, O will be produced, this will be collected in a capillary tube
2
the amount collected can be measured, this will be converted into a volume by
multiplying length of oxygen bubble collected by πr 2
photosynthesis
Structure of ATP?
Adenosine Triphosphate
made from 1 adenosine and 3 phosphates
energy carrier molecule
formation: ADP + Pi (+ energy used) = ATP
condensation reaction using enzyme ATP Synthase
carries energy in its bonds
breakdown: ATP = ADP + Pi (+ energy released)
hydrolysis reaction using enzyme ATPase
delivers energy after breakdown
immediate source = need to only break one bond to release energy (plus bond is
weak)
manageable source = releases small amount of energy
protein synthesis
organelle synthesis
DNA replication
cell division (mitosis/meiosis)
active transport
metabolic reactions
movement (e.g. muscle contraction)
maintaining body temperature
What is respiration?
releasing energy from glucose to make ATP
ATP will provide energy for life processes
occurs in all living organisms
ATP can be made by substrate-level phosphorylation (glycolysis & krebs cycle) and
oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport chain)
What are the 2 types of respiration? aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen)
glycolysis
uses glucose to produce 2x pyruvate, 2x ATP, 2x reduced NAD
pyruvate enters link reaction
ATP made by substrate-level phosphorylation
reduced NAD used in ETC
link reaction
uses pyruvate to produce acetylcoenzyme A, reduced NAD, CO 2
krebs cycle
uses acetylcoenzyme A to produce 3x reduced NAD, 1x reduced FAD, 1x ATP, 2x
CO 2
measures amount of gas exchange taking place between organism and the air in a
test tube
the test tube is connected to a manometer (a U-shaped tube that contains a coloured
liquid)
if the organism takes in more gas then it gives out (more O in), the amount of air in
2
the test tube decreases, therefore there will be less pressure on the coloured liquid
in the manometer, therefore the coloured liquid will move towards the test tube
if the organism gives out more air than it takes in (more CO out), the amount of air
2
in the test tube increases, therefore there will be more pressure on the coloured
liquid in the manometer, therefore the coloured liquid will move away from the test
tube
the amount/volume by which the coloured liquid moves represents the volume of
gas taken in or given out
What is the value of Nitrogen to organisms? used to make amino acids & proteins
and used to make nitrogenous bases in DNA
N cannot be absorbed by plants, they can only absorb Nitrate ions (NO -)
2 3
bacteria
there are 2 types of NFB: mutualistic and free-living
mutualistic NFB are found in the root nodules of leguminous plants, they place the
NH + ions directly in the roots – these plants can use this to make AA and
4
nucleotides
free-living NFB are found in the soil – they place NH + ions in the soil

Agricultural ecosystem?
What are pests? organisms that harm plants/crops – other plants (weeds) acts as
competitors, insects eat the plant, fungi cause disease
What are pesticides? chemical sprays that kill the pest, for weeds =
herbicide, insects = insecticide, fungi = fungicide
advantages
fast acting
can control area covered
disadvantages
non-specific
non-biodegradable leading to bioaccumulation and toxicity in the higher trophic
levels
pest may be resistant
needs to be reapplied
advantages
specific
does not cause bioaccumulation
pests do not develop resistance
does not need to be reapplied
disadvantages
slow acting
may become a pest itself
cannot control area covered
What is Bioaccumulation?
makes use of both pesticides and biological control – the aim is to reduced the
amount of pesticide used, as the pesticide harms food chains and ecosystems
process:
keep some native trees (will act as natural habitats to natural biological controls)
monitor area for pests
mechanically remove pests if present
initial dose of pesticide – fast acting
then apply biological control – will increase in number over time and provide long
term control
reapply pesticides whenever there is an uncontrollable outbreak
What is the benefit of ploughing? increases amount of air spaces in the soil, supports aerobic
respiration of decomposers and bacteria involved in nitrogen cycles (nitrogen fixing bacteria
& nitrifying bacteria preveting denitrifying bacteria)
What is eutrophication?
if large amounts of chemical fertilisers are sprayed onto fields and heavy rainfall
occurs, the fertiliser may leach into local water sources
the fertiliser will travel and build up in ponds or lakes
the mineral (e.g. nitrates to make AA) will be absorbed and used by Algae
this will lead to an increase growth of algae = algal bloom
the algae grows on the upper surface of the water, this prevents light reaching the
plants at the bottom of the water
these plants cannot photosynthesise, so die
these provide more nutrients to saprobitoic decomposers, so these increase in
number
the decomposers will aerobically respire, using up the oxygen in the water
therefore fish die as less oxygen is available
selectively bred
given predigested food (enzymes added), with high protein and high energy levels
given antibiotics and vaccinations
given steroid hormones
restricted movement and kept warm (reduce energy loss)
natural = light energy source, agricultural = light + food for farmer + fossil fuel
for machines
natural = high biodiversity, agricultural = low
natural = high species diversity, agricultural = low
natural = high genetic diversity, agricultural = low
natural = low productivity, agricultural = high
natural = nutrients recycled, agricultural = nutrients added (fertiliser)
natural = competition/predators control pests, agricultural = pesticides/biological
control
natural = reaches climax community, agricultural = prevent climax from being
reached
What is Kinesis?
non-directional movement from an unfavourable area to a favourable area
organism moves rapidly and randomly in unfavourable area until they reach
favourable area where they move slowly and less randomly
so spends more time in favourable area, less time in unfavourable area
What is Tropism?
What are the affects of IAA? promotes growth in the shoot, inhibits growth in the root
normally: shoot tip produces IAA, sending it down both sides causing the shoot to
grow forwards
if light is present on one side, the IAA redistributes to the opposite side (shaded
side)
this causes the opposite side to grow faster
so the shoot bends towards the light
if gravity is present on one side, the IAA redistributes to the same side
this causes the same side to grow faster
so the shoot bends away from gravity towards the light
Job of Nervous System? coordinate response to certain stimuli – response is fast, short
acting, localised
Pathway of Nervous System?
stimuli to receptor to sensory neurone to spinal cord to brain to spinal cord to motor
neurone to effector for response
detects stimuli
& converts stimuli energy into nerve impulse
(acts as a transducer – converts one type of energy into another)
each type of stimuli has a specific receptor
uses stimuli energy to send Na ions into the start of the sensory neurone
+
touch receptor
found in skin, fingers and toes
responds to pressure/touch
structure = corpuscle (several layers of tissue) wrapped around the start of a
sensory neurone
process = pressure applied, corpuscle compressed, stretch-mediated Na +
channels opened, Na ions move into the start of the sensory neurone
+
How does the Retina of the Eye work?
made of Iodopsin Pirgment which is only broken down at high light intensity
one cone cell connects to one bipolar neurone which connects to one sensory
neurone (therefore no summation of light can take place so only detects high light
intensity)
but because one cone cell connects to one bipolar neurone which connects to one
sensory neurone, each stimuli can be distinguished = high visual acuity
made of Rhodopsin Pigment which can be broken down at low light intensity
a few rod cells connect to one bipolar neurone which connects to one sensory
neurone (therefore summation of light can take place so can detect low light
intensity)
but because a few rod cells connect to one bipolar neurone which connects to one
sensory neurone, the stimuli will be merged together = low visual acuity
(K ions will eventually stop diffusing out due to a positive potential outside)
+
therefore more Na ions diffuse into the neurone, therefore membrane potential
+
(repolarised)
too many K ions move out, so the membrane potential becomes more negative
+
by local currents
if the stimuli energy is large enough and enough Na ions enter the start of the
+
along the neurone causing the next section to reach threshold and an AP to occur
this process continues along the neurone
* why does AP not move back? because previous section has just finished an AP, therefore
it is in refractory period (Na channels cannot be opened) and is hyperpolarised
+
axon diameter = wider diameter, neurone less leaky (faster nerve impulse)
myelination = schwann cells wrap around axon, insulates axon preventing AP,
therefore AP only occurs in gaps – called node of ranvier, so AP jumps
from node to node = saltatory conduction (faster nerve impulse)
What is a Synapse?
unidirectionality = AP/nerve impulse travels in one direction, from pre to post, pre
has the neurotransmitter, post has the receptors
filters out low level stimuli = low level stimuli do not release enough
neurotransmitter, therefore not enough Na ion channels open, therefore not
+
therefore no AP produced
inhibitory = normal synapses are excitatory (cause AP), some can be inhibitory –
prevent action potential from occurring by making postsynaptic neurone
hyperpolarised
What is a Reflex?
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Locations in a Sarcomere?
sarcomeres/myofibril)
this moves the tropomyosin on the actin
exposes binding sites on the actin
myosin heads now bind to the actin (form actin-myosin cross bridge)
a power stroke occurs, the myosin pulling the actin inwards
ATP attaches to myosin head so it detaches
ATP brokendown by ATPase to release energy
causes myosin head to go back to its original position
so it reattaches, pulling the actin further inwards
muscle is relaxed
What are the 2 types of Muscle Fibres? Fast Twitch and Slow Twitch
lipid hormones enter cells by simple diffusion and cause direct changes e.g.
oestrogen
if high = should be in cells for respiration, also lowers blood water potential
if low = not enough to supply cells of the brain, also increases blood water
potential
controlled by the Pancreas
contains the Islets of Langerhans
made of alpha and beta cells
alpha cells produce glucagon
beta cells produce insulin
What happens with High Blood Glucose Levels?
Diabetes?
What is Homeostasis?
the response to the change is to oppose the change to bring levels back to
normal (e.g. body temperature increases – response is to bring it down to
normal, blood glucose levels decrease – response is to increase it back
to normal)
What is Positive Feedback? the response to the change is to continue the change (e.g. Na +
can maintain activity over a range of settings e.g. early morning or winter
hair on skin stands up = hair erector muscles contract, hairs stand up, traps in
air particles, forms an insulating layer, reduces heat loss
sweating = evaporation of water particles from the skin surface using the heat in
the blood
Structure of Kidneys? Outer region called Cortex, Middle region called Medulla
Role of Kidneys?
filters blood (removes urea, excess salts, excess water – combined known as urine)
Why remove urea? toxic waste product made from excess amino acids
Why remove excess salts and water? maintain correct water potential and pressure in blood
Structure of Nephron?
1st
part = Bowmans Capsules
2nd
part = Proximal Convoluted Tubule
3rd
part = Loop of Henle
4th
part = Distal Convoluted Tubule
5th
part = Collecting Duct
Bowmans Capsule?
start of nephron
site of ultrafiltration (where blood is filtered)
occurs between specialised capillaries called Glomerulus and Bowmans Capsule
glomerulus located in the middle of an arteriole
afferent arteriole before glomerulus is wide, efferent arteriole after glomerulus is
narrow
so build up of hydrostatic pressure in the glomerulus pushes fluid and small
substances from the glomerulus into the bowmans capsule
small substances filtered = glucose, amino acids, salts, urea
only small substances can pass through the 3 layers
(endothelium of glomerulus, basement membrane, podocytes of bowmans
capsule)
results in glomerular filtrate in bowmans capsule
(water + glucose/amino acids/salts/urea)
the job of the rest of the nephron is to send all the glucose/amino acids and some
of the salts/water back into the blood [reabsorption]
Loop of Henle?
Collecting Duct?
What is a species? group of organisms with similar characteristics that can interbreed to
produce fertile offspring
Why can 2 different species not occupy the same ecological niche? interspecific competition
will take place for the limiting factors/resources (abiotic & biotic factors) – better adapted
species will out compete the other = competitive exclusion principle
use a transect
place a tape along the path, count number of plants touching tape (Line Transect)
or
place a tape along the path, at regular intervals along the tape place a quadrat,
measure abundance within the quadrat (Belt Transect)
mark-release-recapture technique
set a trap
capture the animal species [Sample 1]
mark them (tag or fluorescent marker – ensure its non-toxic and not harmful)
release them
after some time (sufficient time for them to mix with the whole population), replace
the trap
count number in 2 set [Sample 2] and count the number marked
nd
abiotic (non-living): light, temperature, water, O /CO , minerals, pH, living space
2 2
What is competition? when organisms compete for resources (abiotic and biotic)
intraspecific: occurs between organisms of the same species, only occurs when
resources become limited, leads to natural selection and adaptation
interspecific: occurs between organisms of different species, can happen at any
time even if resources are not limited, leads to formation of climax
communities
What are the 2 types of succession? primary (occurs on new land) and secondary (occurs
on previously colonised land that has become bare e.g. after a forest
fire)
new land appears (glacier retreats exposing rock, lava cools, sand dunes)
pioneer species settle [adapted to surviving in hostile conditions of bare land]
pioneer species are: _
producers
have mutualistic NFB
asexually reproduce (one parent, genetically identical, faster)
xerophytes
handle extreme conditions (extreme wind & extreme temperatures on bare land)
have wind dispersed seeds (spread wide – reduce competition, find favourable
environments)
can anchor to land
over time – the land erodes and soil forms, pioneer species die and decompose
adding humus & nutrients to the soil
small plants can now grow
they out compete the pioneer species
over time – more soil forms, small plants die and decompose adding more humus
& nutrients to the soil
large plants can now grow, they out compete the small plants
this process continues until the climax community is reached
the climax community contains the best adapted species to the environment (they
are the final community, there will be no more succession after them)
Properties of Succession?
species diversity increases (peaks just before climax – species in climax will out
compete others)
habitat diversity increases
environment becomes less hostile
food chains become more complex & biomass increases
Primary succession vs Secondary succession? secondary succession starts from small plants
not pioneer species (soil and nutrients already present) and secondary succession is faster (soil,
nutrients and seeds already present)
used to prevent formation of woody forests – either on hill sides (for tourism) and
farms (space for crops)
involves: deforestation, burning trees, grazing, using pesticides
What is Adaptation? a species adapting to changes in the environment (e.g. new diseases or
change in climate) – driven by natural selection, where most of the individuals in the species
will have the favourable allele/characteristic for that environment
Process of Adaptation?
What are the 3 types of selection? stabilising and directional and disruptive
when the environment favours those with the most common characteristic – those
on the extreme dies out
the common characteristic increases in proportion
the range (standard deviation) will reduce
What is Speciation? process by which new species arise from existing species
What is Sympatric Speciaition? speciation occuring in the same geographical area (driven by
random mutation)
Dominant/Recessive
Codominant
Multiple Allele
Sex Linkage
3 Dominant to 1 Recessive
What is co-dominance? when 2 different dominant alleles are inherited, both will be
expressed in the phenotype
What are multiple alleles? when the gene has more than 2 alleles (e.g. blood group)
I,I,I
A B O
I , I are codominant
A B
I is recessive
O
A=II,II A A A O
B= I I, II
B B B O
AB = I I A B
O=II O O
A = from A & O
B = from B & O
AB = from A, B, AB, O
O = only from O
What is a sex-linked gene? a gene carried on one of the sex chromosomes, normally the X
chromosome
What is an inherited disease? inheriting a mutated allele that leads to production of a faulty
protein, normally a recessive allele (dominant allele will decrease in frequency by natural
selection, recessive allele can be carried by heterozygotes)
What is a sex-linked disease? inheriting a mutated allele carried on one of the sex
chromosomes, normally a recessive allele & normally carried on X chromosome
Why do males have increased chance of inheriting a sex linked disease rather than
females? males only have 1 X chromosome, females have 2 X chromosomes, females can be
carriers, males cannot be carriers
Dominant/Recessive
Autosomal Linkage
Epistasis
9 Dominant/Dominant
3 Dominant/Recessive
3 Recessive/Dominant
1 Recessive/Recessive
What are the 3 Types of Epistasis? Dominant and Recessive and Complementary
What is Dominant Epistasis? dominant genotype on one gene inhibits expression of other
gene
12 Epistasis (inhibited)
3 Expressed (dominant)
1 Expressed (recessive)
What is Recessive Epistasis? recessive genotype on one gene inhibits expression of other gene
9 Expressed (dominant)

What does the HWP assume? that the frequency will not change over time, based on:
isolated population
large population
random mating
no mutation
no selection
p + 2pq + q = 1
2 2
a unspecialised/undifferentiated cell
potential to form different types of cells
differentiation
3 changes: cell shape, number of organelles, new content
occurs by controlling gene expression (some gene are activated, other genes are
inhibited)
Stem Cell in Animals/Mammals/Humans?
Totipotent = Zygote
Pluripotent = Embryonic Stem Cells
Multipotent = Bone Marrow Stem Cell
Unipotent = Tissues
turning unipotent body cells into pluripotent cells (like embryonic stem cells),
involves activating certain deactivated genes using transcription factors
2 uses,
use stem cells to produce tissues/organs for transplant
use stem cells to treat irreversible diseases e.g. heart disease, type 1 diabetes,
paralysis (inject stem cells at site of disorder – will differentiate to become local
specialised cells e.g. heart muscle cells, beta cells of pancreas, neurones)
traditionally cuttings were taken from plants (stem/shoot/root) and used to grow
genetically identical plants – possible due to presence of meristem cells
tissue culture (micro propagation) = large scale application of cuttings
process,
take cutting from shoot/stem/root (called explant)
place explant in nutrient rich medium so meristem cells divide by mitosis
produces a mass of meristem cells (called callus)
take each meristem cell and grow in plant growth factor medium to promote
differentiation and formation of shoot/root
transfer plant to soil and greenhouse
then transfer to field
using oestrogen
oestrogen can enter a cell by simple diffusion and bind to receptors on the
transcriptional factor
causes transcriptional factor to change shape
so transcriptional factor can now enter nucleus and bind to promoters on the DNA
to activate transcription
= activated genes (protein to be made)
What is Epigenetics?
What is Cancer?
Malignant Tumours,
Oestrogen leads to activation of genes – high levels of oestrogen can lead to over
activation of Proto-Oncogen forming an Oncogene = Cancer (uncontrolled cell division)
additional characteristics,
add gene for disease resistance
add gene for growth hormone for growth
making useful products,
use to produce anti-thrombin = protein used to make blood clot (people with
certain genetic disease may not produce), use milk producing animal to produce,
add gene for anti-thrombin next to milk producing gene in animal, therefore anti-
thrombin protein will be made in the milk (easily extracted)
Why do we Genetically Engineer Plants?
additional characteristics,
add gene for disease resistance
add gene for pest resistance
add gene for pesticide resistance
add gene to promote growth for high yield
produce genetically modified tomatoes = prevented from softening therefore
remain hardened (easy for storage and transport), involves preventing formation
of softening enzyme, a gene is added that is complementary to the the softening
enzyme gene, so its mRNA will bind to the mRNA of the softening enzyme
preventing translation of the softening enzyme
making useful products,
use to make golden rice (rice that contains beta-carotene, a pre-cursor to vitamin
A to treat malnutrition deficiency)
use to make protein raw material for polymers
Why do we Genetically Engineer Bacteria? so they can make useful products (proteins)
involves 5 steps =
1. Isolation
2. Insertion
3. Transformation
4. Identification
identify which of the bacteria have taken up the recombinant plasmid and of these
which ones have accepted the new gene (human insulin gene)
step 1 = choose a plasmid that carries an Ampicillin Resistance Gene, so when Ampicillin is
added only the bacteria that have taken up the recombinant plasmid will survive (as they will
have obtained the ampicillin resistance gene)
step 2 = use gene markers (antibiotic resistant, fluorescent, enzyme) to identify which of the
remaining bacteria have accepted the human insulin gene, the human insulin gene will be
placed in the middle of these gene markers, if the bacteria accepts the human insulin gene
they will reject the gene marker & if the bacteria rejects the human insulin gene they will
accept the gene marker
antibiotic resistant = tetracycline resistance gene lost if human insulin gene
accepted, so bacteria no longer resistant to tetracycline, add tetracycline by
replica plating (on another plate that carries a few of the bacteria from each
colony in their same position), the ones that die are the ones that we want,
identify on original plate
fluorescent = fluorescent gene lost if human insulin gene accepted, so identify
bacteria showing no fluorescence
enzyme = enzyme gene lost if human insulin gene accepted, therefore add
colourless substrate, where there is no colour change select those bacteria (as
enzyme not made to breakdown colourless substrate for colour change)
5. Growth/Cloning
What is PCR?
template strands
step 2: cool to 55 C, primers bind (short single stranded sections of DNA) to start
o
of each template strand, prevents the templates from rejoining and allows DNA
Polymerase to bind to build the new strand
step 3: heat to 72 C, DNA nucleotides attach to complementary bases, DNA
o
PCR can only replicate short DNA fragments, SCR can replicate whole DNA
PCR use 95 C, SCR uses DNA Helicase
o
In-vitro = PCR
In-vivo = using bacteria to replicate DNA (add DNA fragment to the plasmid,
then replicate the bacteria to make many copies of DNA fragment)
benefits of in-vitro = more rapid, less complex
benefits of in-vivo = more accurate (less mutations), less chance of contamination
analyse an individual's DNA for the presence of a particular gene (e.g. mutated
allele)
use DNA Probes (single stranded section of DNA, complementary to a particular
gene, is radioactively labelled)
obtain individuals DNA, make it single stranded, add the specific DNA Probe for
the gene to be screened for, if the gene is present the DNA Probe will bind, will
show up as radioactivity on an X-ray film
involves 5 steps:
1. Extraction, 2. Digestion, 3. Separation, 4. Hybridisation, 5. Development
1. Extraction
extracting the individual's DNA
2. Digestion
cutting the DNA down into fragments
use Restriction Enzymes that cut just outside the VNTR (leaves the VNTR of the
introns)
3. Separation
separate out the DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis
add alkali to make the separated fragments single stranded
transfer the fragments to a nylon membrane by Southern Blotting
add UV light so the DNA fragments set
4. Hybridisation
add radioactively labelled DNA Probes complementary to the DNA fragments
5. Development
add photographic film and take an x-ray to produce the banding pattern picture
What is a Proteome?
