What are 'Mechanical Properties'? - Properties of materials, including strength, hardness, density, durability, toughness, malleability, elasticity and ductility What is 'bending'? - The ability to withstand forces that are attempting to bend What is 'compression'? - The resistance to force...

Ancient greek model of the atom Atoms are tiny solid spheres which cannot be divided. JJ Thompson Discovered the electron and developed the "plum-pudding" model of the atom plum pudding model of the atom atoms are balls of positively charge with negative electrons embedded in it

What are eukaryotic cells? - Cells that are more complex and have a nucleus (animal and plant cells) What are prokaryotic cells? - Cells that are smaller and simpler, and don't have a nucleus but still have genetic information (bacteria) What are eukaryotes? - Organisms made of eukaryotic cells ...

Energy Stores - 1) Elastic potential 2) Gravitational potential 3) Thermal 4) Electrostatic 5) Nuclear 6) Chemical 7) Kinetic 8) Magnetic 9) Light 10) Sound How is energy transferred? - 1) Mechanically - force doing work 2) Electrically - work done by moving charges 3) Heating/Radiation ...

Weight - Mass x Gravitational Field Strength Work Done - Force x Distance Force Applied to a Spring - Spring Constant x Extension Moment of a Force - Force x Distance Pressure - Force / Area

This type of surface is a good absorber and emitter of thermal radiation - Dark, rough (matt) surface This type of surface is a bad absorber and emitter of thermal radiation - Light, shiny surface In this process particles vibrate colliding with each other passing energy along. Solids are best at...

What does a nucleus do? - It contains genetic material and controls the activities of the cell What does cytoplasm do? - It's a gel-like substance where most of the chemical reactions happen. It contains enzymes that control these chemical reactions What does a cell membrane do? - It holds the c...

What is homeostasis? - The maintenance of a constant internal environment. What is a stimulus? - A change in your environment than requires a response. e.g Light, sound, touch, pressure, pain, chemical or temperature. What do the receptors do? - Detect the stimulus or change in environment. What...

How is the real size of a magnified image calculated? - Real size = Image size ÷ Total magnification. What is a eukaryotic cell? - A cell with DNA inside a membrane bound nucleus. Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. Name two differences between a plant cell and a bacterial cell? - Plant ce...

Buffer stock - A stock of raw materials held in reserve to protect the production process from unforeseen shortages. Customer loyalty - The likelihood that past customers will continue to buy from the business, enhanced by high quality customer service and/or reward programmes. Customer satisfac...

describe and explain the steps in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis - 1. photoionisation: light reaches chlorophyll in PSII, which is absorbed by an electron, which becomes excited and moves to a higher energy level. 2. the electron passes to a carrier protein in the thylakoid membra...

large molecules often contain carbon. why? - they can readily form bonds with other carbon atoms. this forms a 'backbone'. other atoms can then attach. describe benedicts test for reducing sugars - add equal volumes of the sugar sample and benedicts reagent. heat the mixture in a water bath fo...

Describe how you would use a biochemical test to show that a solution contained a non-reducing sugar, such as sucrose. [3] - ,first reducing sugars test; boil with dilute HCl acid then Neutralise with NaHCǑ, add benedict and heat to 95 degrees C brick red ppt forms if reducing sugar is present D...

What are chromosomes? - They are really long molecules of DNA What does DNA stand for - DeoxyribonNucleicAcid. It is a complex chemical in a thread-like chain. It contains coded information and genetic information Where is DNA found - It is found in the nucleus of animal and plant cells in long s...
