Describe that organisms can be classified into groups by the features they share
Understand the terms cell, tissue, organ, organ system and organism as illustrated by examples covered in the syllabus
Understand that cells can become specialised and that their structures are related to their specific functions, as illustrated by examples covered in the syllabus
What is the formula of Magnification?
Describe the sequence of events that results in an action potential in a sensory neurone, using a chemoreceptor cell in a human taste bud as an example
outline the role of sensory receptor cells in detecting stimuli and stimulating the transmission of impulses in sensory neurones
Describe the structure and function of a sensory neurone and a motor neurone and state that intermediate neurones connect sensory neurones and motor neurones
Explain that stomata respond to changes in environmental conditions by opening and closing and that regulation of stomatal aperture balances the need for carbon dioxide uptake by diffusion with the need to minimise water loss by transpiration
State that Calvin cycle intermediates are used to produce other molecules, limited to GP to produce some amino acids and TP to produce carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids
Outline the three main stages of the Calvin cycle: • rubisco catalyses the fixation of carbon dioxide by combination with a molecule of ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP), a 5C compound, to yield two molecules of glycerate 3-phosphate (GP), a 3C compound • GP is reduced to triose phosphate (TP) in reactions involving reduced NADP and ATP • RuBP is regenerated from TP in reactions that use ATP
