Download 871-Biology Card Cut Up Revision

Instructions
Print out the cards and cut them up.
(You will need a set for each group you intent to split the class into.)
Place them face down on the front desk.
Split the class into small groups (3-4)
Each group sends a member up to collect the first card.
They go back to their group and attempt to answer the question on the
card.
When they have attempted it they come back to the front and check
their answer with you.
If it’s RIGHT then they can swap their card for the next one in the pile.
If it’s WRONG they can either go back to their group and amend their
answer or place it at the bottom of their pile and come back to it later.
The aim is to be the first group to answer all the questions correctly.
Note – To keep track on the cards and to what group they belong different colours would be very helpful.

Lock & Key Model
Cell wall, vacuole, chloroplasts
The movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
CO2 + H20 = O2 and C6H12O6
Magnesium-chlorophyll production, Nitrates-amino acid production
Light, temperature, CO2
Biomass-pyramid shape. Numbers- larger top trophic level
Magnesium-yellow leaves, Nitrates-stunted growth
The mass of organisms at a particular trophic level.
Restrict movement and regulate temperature.
Warmth, moisture and oxygen(for some!)
Respiration, burning fuels.
E.g CO2 in air-photosynthesis-Plants eaten-Carbon in animal-Death and decay
Oxygen + glucose=Energy, Carbon Dioxide and Water
O2+C6H12O6=Energy+CO2 and H2O
pH, temperature, substrate concentration, inhibitors
Maintaining body temperature, muscle contraction and building up molecules
Pancreas extract, tested their extract on diabetic dogs, the extract contained the hormone insulin.
Temperature, ion content, water content and blood sugar.
Shivering-increase heat due to respiration reaction, vasoconstriction-limits heat radiation from the
skin, hairs stand up-traps a layer of insulating air.
Insulin-brings levels down, Glucagon-increases levels
Inject insulin, manage your diet
Alleles-form of a gene, Gene-portion of DNA that codes for a characteristic, Meiosis-cell division
that causes gamete formation and variation, Gamete-sex cell eg-sperm, egg
DNA (chromosomes) replicates, cells divides into 4 gametes, each different
An unspecialised(undifferentiated) cell that has the ability to become specialised. Use-treat paralysis,
heart attack patients
