This document provides information about biological molecules and enzymes for an International GCSE Biology exam. It defines carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids as the three main types of biological molecules, and describes their structures and components. It also explains enzyme function using the lock and key theory and discusses how enzyme activity can be affected by changes in temperature and pH. Practical investigations are described for testing food samples for glucose, starch, protein and fat, as well as experiments on how enzyme activity of amylase is influenced by temperature and pH changes.
This document provides an overview of the content covered in the IGCSE Chemistry course, including the main sections and topics. Lesson 1 focuses on states of matter, atoms, atomic structure, and evidence that matter is particulate. It defines solids, liquids, and gases, and describes changes of state. Atoms are introduced as the basic building blocks, and particles, molecules, elements, mixtures, and compounds are defined. Atomic structure is explained, including protons, neutrons, electrons, and isotopes. Techniques for separating mixtures like distillation, filtration, and chromatography are also summarized.
The document discusses excretion and the kidney's role in removing waste from the body. It summarizes that the lungs, skin, and kidneys aid in excretion by removing carbon dioxide, excess water and salts, and urea, excess water, salts, spent hormones and drugs respectively. The nephron, the functional unit of the kidney, filters blood and selectively reabsorbs or secretes substances to produce urine, which normally contains water, urea, salts, spent hormones, alcohol and drugs.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce glucose from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. It occurs in the chloroplasts of leaves, where chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis is important because it converts sunlight into chemical energy stored as glucose, which provides energy for plant growth and is eventually converted into starch for long term storage.
The document discusses how homeostasis is maintained in the body through various negative feedback systems. It provides examples of homeostasis for factors like temperature, pH, glucose, and water/salt content being kept constant. This allows enzymes to work effectively. It then discusses different mechanisms for regulating body temperature, such as blood vessels, hair, sweat glands, and metabolic rates. Large animals lose less heat than small animals due to lower surface area to volume ratios. Negative feedback systems involving insulin and glucagon help regulate blood glucose levels.
Plants undergo photosynthesis, a process where sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are converted into glucose and oxygen. Chlorophyll in the leaf absorbs sunlight, which is then used along with carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce glucose and oxygen through a chemical reaction. The glucose is used for plant growth and any excess is stored as starch. Minerals absorbed from the soil like nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium are also required to support plant growth and production of chlorophyll. Leaves are adapted for efficient photosynthesis through features like a large surface area, thinness to allow for gas exchange, and specialized cells containing chloroplasts where the reaction occurs.

This document defines key terms related to disease transmission and the immune system. It explains that pathogens can transmit diseases through direct or indirect contact. The body has mechanical, chemical, and cellular defenses against pathogens, including white blood cells that distinguish self from non-self and produce antibodies. Vaccination exposes the body to harmless antigens to trigger antibody production and develop immunological memory for long-term protection. Both active and passive immunity are described, with active immunity resulting from infection or vaccination and producing memory cells, while passive immunity involves acquiring antibodies without memory cell development.

The circulatory system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps blood throughout the body in two circulation loops - pulmonary circulation to the lungs and systemic circulation to the rest of the body. Blood carries oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste products and circulates in a double circulation through arteries, veins, and capillaries where gas and nutrient exchange occurs. The circulatory system helps transport these materials, fight infections, regulate temperature and pH, and heal injuries through clotting.
- A balanced diet should include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water and fibre. These components have various functions like providing energy, growth and repair.
- The human digestive system includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and pancreas. Food moves through the system by peristalsis and is broken down by enzymes.
- Factors like age, activity levels and pregnancy affect energy requirements. Sedentary lifestyles require less energy than active ones. Calorimetry can be used to investigate the energy content of foods.
Homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain stable internal conditions such as temperature and glucose levels. It is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms. For example, temperature receptors in the skin sense changes and send signals to the hypothalamus in the brain. If body temperature rises, the hypothalamus activates sweating and blood vessel dilation to cool the body through evaporation. Conversely, it triggers shivering and vessel constriction when temperatures fall to conserve heat. Various organs also help regulate variables through hormones, like the liver controlling glucose with insulin secretion. The skin plays an important role in homeostasis through insulation, sweating, and temperature reception.
This document describes the circulatory systems of fish and mammals. It explains that fish have a single circulation where blood passes through the heart once to be oxygenated at the gills before circulating to the body. Mammals have a double circulation where blood passes through the heart twice - to the lungs to be oxygenated and then again to the body in separate circuits. The advantages of double circulation are that it increases blood pressure and flow to tissues, which is important for large mammals and those with high metabolic rates.
The document discusses diffusion and related transport processes. It defines diffusion as the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is defined as the diffusion of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane, from low to high solute concentration. Active transport is the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient, requiring energy. Key examples discussed include gas exchange in the lungs, nutrient absorption in the small intestine and placenta, and ion regulation in cells.
This document discusses solutions and factors that affect solubility and dissolution rates. It defines solutions as homogeneous mixtures and describes classifications of solutions based on phases. It also defines and compares terms like dilute, concentrated, solubility, and miscibility. The document outlines key factors that affect solubility and dissolution rates such as temperature, nature of solvent, pressure, surface area, and rate of stirring. It also defines saturated, unsaturated and supersaturated solutions and discusses methods of expressing concentration including percent composition, molarity and molality.

This document provides an overview of various topics related to biology including:
- The process of gas exchange that occurs in the lungs, gut, and plants via diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.
- How the circulatory system transports blood to and from the heart and lungs via arteries, veins, and capillaries to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from tissues.
- The role of microorganisms like yeast and bacteria in food production processes like fermentation and culturing.
- Methods for large scale production of microbes and antibiotics as well as renewable energy sources like biogas.
The document discusses transport processes in plants. It describes the functions of xylem and phloem tissues, which transport water and nutrients throughout the plant. Water and minerals are absorbed by root hairs through osmosis and active transport. Water moves up through the xylem vessels via transpiration pull. Transpiration is the evaporation of water from leaves, driven by factors like temperature, humidity and light intensity. The document also examines adaptations that reduce water loss through transpiration.
The document discusses the components of a balanced diet, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, minerals, water, and dietary fiber. It explains that carbohydrates should make up 45-65% of the diet and are a source of energy. Proteins should make up 10-35% and are needed for growth and cell repair. Lipids provide long-term energy storage and insulation. Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients necessary for proper bodily functions. Energy requirements vary depending on activity levels, age, and pregnancy.
Ionic compounds are formed from a cation and an anion. Opposite charges attract the ions together in an ionic bond. Ions transfer electrons to achieve stable noble gas electron configurations. Ionic compounds have crystalline structures where ions are arranged in repeating patterns. The ions are strongly bonded and give ionic solids properties like brittleness and ability to conduct electricity when molten or dissolved in water.
IGCSE Biology - Sexual and Asexual Reproductionmrexham
This document is a PowerPoint presentation about sexual and asexual reproduction in humans. It defines sexual reproduction as involving the fusion of male and female gametes through fertilization to form a zygote. Asexual reproduction occurs through mitosis, where cells divide to form genetically identical offspring. The presentation describes the processes of meiosis in gamete formation and mitosis in embryo development. It compares the key differences between sexual and asexual reproduction.
The document summarizes key concepts about cell membranes. It describes how phospholipids form a bilayer with hydrophilic phosphate heads and hydrophobic fatty acid tails. This phospholipid bilayer serves as a selective barrier that is impermeable to polar molecules but allows diffusion of nonpolar molecules. The membrane is made selectively permeable through protein channels. Transmembrane proteins embedded in the phospholipid bilayer perform many functions and help transport molecules across the membrane through passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion using channels, and active transport against gradients using pumps.
1. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids and is removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. Carbon dioxide is produced during respiration and is removed from the body through exhalation in the lungs.
2. Egestion refers to the removal of undigested food from the body, while excretion is the removal of waste products from metabolic processes.
3. During deamination, amino acids are broken down in the liver into components, one of which is converted to urea while the other combines with carbon dioxide to form urea.
This document discusses the three states of matter - solid, liquid, and gas. It explains that the state of a substance depends on temperature and pressure, and describes several phase changes between the different states (melting, freezing, boiling, evaporation, condensation, sublimation) and the energy changes involved. It also compares the properties of solids, liquids, and gases in terms of particle arrangement and movement. In addition, the document discusses diffusion, osmosis, and the particle theory of matter.

It lists several conditions related to menstruation like painful or heavy periods. It also discusses some infections, bleeding issues, and reproductive system disorders.
Contraceptives are methods that prevent or reduce the chances of pregnancy during sex. Barrier methods like condoms, diaphragms, and cervical caps block sperm from entering the uterus. Hormonal methods include contraceptive pills and vaginal rings, which use hormones to stop ovulation. The contraceptive pill contains estrogen and progesterone to prevent fertilization. In vitro fertilization involves extracting eggs from a woman and fertilizing them with sperm in a lab before transferring the embryo to the uterus.
The male reproductive system generates semen in the testicles, which is stored in the epididymis for several days. During ejaculation, semen is expelled through the vas deferens and seminal vesicle into the ejaculatory duct and urethra. The muscular movements of ejaculation propel the sperm forward and out of the body. The functions of the male reproductive system are to produce, maintain and transport sperm and semen, discharge sperm in the female reproductive tract, and produce male sex hormones like testosterone.
Fertilization in humans occurs in the fallopian tubes within hours of sexual intercourse. Only one sperm out of hundreds of millions can fertilize the female egg. The sperm must swim through the fallopian tube to reach the egg, breaking through its coating with enzymes to penetrate and fertilize it. Once fertilized, the sperm tail detaches and the egg coating thickens to prevent other sperm from entering.
Sexually transmitted diseases are illnesses that can be transmitted between humans through sexual contact. This includes AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus and progressively weakens the immune system if untreated. Gonorrhea is another common STD caused by bacteria that infects warm, moist areas and often has few or no symptoms. While treatable with antibiotics, untreated STDs can lead to long-term health issues like infertility. Prevention involves proper condom use, testing, treatment if infected, and education to promote safe sexual practices.
Puberty is the process where a child's body matures into an adult capable of reproduction. During puberty, girls develop breasts and boys develop more masculine features. Puberty typically starts between ages 8-13 for girls and 10-15 for boys. Hormones released by the pituitary gland trigger physical changes on the outside and inside of the body. Menstruation is when the uterine lining sheds, occurring in females to prepare for potential pregnancy. Ovulation is when a mature ovarian follicle ruptures and releases an egg, controlled by the hypothalamus. Menopause is when the menstrual cycle ends, typically occurring in women between ages 45-55.
This document summarizes various contraception methods. It groups them into barrier methods like condoms, hormonal methods like birth control pills, IUDs, natural methods like fertility awareness, and permanent sterilization. Barrier methods include male and female condoms and diaphragms. Hormonal methods primarily discuss oral contraceptives and emergency contraception. IUDs are described as 98-99% effective devices that prevent implantation. Natural methods cover rhythm/fertility awareness and withdrawal, which are less effective. Permanent sterilization discusses tubal ligation and vasectomy.
The document discusses the digestive system and its functions. It describes the stages of digestion that occur in the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and explains how nutrients are broken down and absorbed. The document also provides some interesting facts about digestion such as the amount of food consumed annually, saliva production, transit times through the digestive tract, and gas production.

The human excretory system consists of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. They regulate water, salt, and other substances. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder, which temporarily stores urine until it is released through the urethra. The basic functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood to remove wastes and regulate water and electrolyte levels. Common disorders of the excretory system include urinary tract infections, kidney infections, and kidney stones.
Excretion system of urea in human revise by Ahmed Ghdhban AlziaydiAhmed Ghdhban Alziaydi
1. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and regulate water and electrolyte levels.
2. The nephrons are the functional units of the kidneys that filter blood and produce urine.
3. Urine travels from the kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder for temporary storage and then exits through the urethra.
The urinary system works to excrete waste from the body, regulate water and electrolyte balance, and secrete hormones. It is made up of the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood to remove wastes and produce urine. Urine is transported from the kidneys to the bladder via the ureters. It is stored in the bladder and exited from the body through the urethra. Diseases can occur if the urinary system is not functioning properly, such as urinary tract infections and kidney failure.
RENAL SYSTEM DISEASES and treatment involvedNaomikibithe
The renal/urinary system works to filter waste and toxins from the blood to produce urine. The main organs are the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The kidneys filter the blood and produce urine through glomerular filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Acute kidney failure occurs when the kidneys suddenly lose their ability to filter waste, potentially due to conditions that lower blood flow or directly damage the kidneys. Chronic kidney disease gradually reduces kidney function over time due to conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Treatment may include dialysis or kidney transplantation.
The excretory system eliminates wastes from the body through various organs. The lungs, skin, large intestine, liver, and urinary system all play roles in excretion. The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering wastes from the blood and regulating fluid and electrolyte balance. Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney that filter blood to form urine, reabsorbing necessary substances while excreting waste.
The kidney is a crucial organ that removes waste from the blood. There are two kidneys located in the back of the abdomen, each about 4-5 inches long. The kidneys contain millions of nephrons that filter the blood to remove toxins via the renal artery. A defect in the kidneys can lead to many complications as their role cannot be replaced by any other organ.
Renal failure occurs when the kidneys are unable to remove waste and regulate fluids and electrolytes. This leads to the accumulation of waste in the blood and disruption of other body functions. There are two main types - acute renal failure, which develops rapidly over hours to days, and chronic kidney disease, which progresses over months to years. The main symptoms include leg swelling, fatigue, vomiting and confusion. Treatment focuses on fluid balance, electrolyte control, and renal replacement therapy such as dialysis. Prognosis depends on age and treatment.
Muhammad Asif deliver lecture on the human-excretory_systemMuhmmad Asif
The kidneys filter waste from the blood to produce urine. They contain nephrons which remove waste and regulate water and electrolyte levels. The kidneys maintain homeostasis by filtering 20% of the blood and reabsorbing useful substances while removing waste in urine. Common kidney disorders include urinary tract infections caused by bacteria, which if untreated can lead to kidney damage, and kidney stones formed from mineral deposits that can cause pain and require medical intervention.
The human excretory system removes waste from the body through organs like the lungs, skin, colon and kidneys. The kidneys play a key role by filtering the blood to remove urea and other toxins, regulating electrolyte and acid-base balance, and controlling blood pressure. Each kidney contains millions of nephrons, the functional units that filter blood via glomeruli and tubules to produce urine, which is then stored in the bladder and expelled via the urethra. The excretory system is vital for maintaining homeostasis by regulating water balance and removing metabolic waste.
The excretory system removes waste from the body through various organs. The kidneys are the primary organs of excretion, removing nitrogenous wastes such as urea and excess water and salts. The kidneys contain nephrons, which filter the blood to produce urine. Urine passes from the nephrons to the bladder through the ureters for storage and later excretion through the urethra. Homeostasis is maintained as the kidneys regulate water balance and the concentration of substances in the blood and tissues.
The urinary system includes the kidneys, bladder, and ureters. The kidneys filter waste from the blood and produce urine, which is stored in the bladder and then excreted from the body via the urethra. The kidneys play a key role by filtering waste and regulating water and electrolyte levels in the blood. They must remove metabolic waste while maintaining the proper pH, volume, and ion concentrations in blood plasma. The kidneys also secrete hormones to help regulate blood pressure, red blood cell production, and calcium absorption.
The liver plays a key role in metabolism and homeostasis. It receives a dual blood supply and filters waste from the blood to produce urea, which is excreted. Excess alcohol is broken down but can overload the liver, causing fatty deposits. The kidneys filter blood to produce urine via nephrons and selective reabsorption maintains electrolyte balance. Kidney failure requires dialysis or transplant. Pregnancy and drug tests analyze samples for target hormones or compounds.
The document discusses the excretory system. It describes the major organs that are involved in excretion, including the lungs, skin, liver, and kidneys. The kidneys are described in more detail, noting their location and role in filtering the blood and producing urine. Urine contains waste products like urea, uric acid, and creatinine. The document also outlines other parts of the urinary system like the ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. It discusses how the excretory system interacts with other body systems and concludes by covering two health issues - kidney stones and cystitis.
This document provides information on excretion in humans and other organisms. It discusses the key organs and processes involved in excretion in the human body, including the lungs, skin, and kidneys. In the kidneys, glomerular filtration occurs, along with reabsorption of useful substances and production of urine. The liver is described as having many functions including detoxification and producing urea from excess proteins. Excretion in plants, fish, and amoebas is also summarized, noting their various adaptations for osmoregulation.
Renal failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to effectively remove waste and toxins from the blood. It can be acute, developing suddenly, or chronic, developing over a longer period of time. The main causes of acute renal failure are decreased blood flow to the kidneys, direct kidney damage, and blockages preventing urine outflow. Chronic renal failure is commonly caused by poorly controlled diabetes or hypertension and can develop over months or years. Treatment involves diet, medications, dialysis, and potentially kidney transplantation to replace failed kidney function.
The document summarizes key concepts about excretion and the urinary system. It discusses (1) how the kidneys produce urine through ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption, (2) how anti-diuretic hormone regulates water concentration in the blood through urine production, and (3) how dialysis can remove waste when the kidneys fail by diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane.
The document discusses the excretory system and its role in removing waste from the body. It describes the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra as key organs that filter blood, remove waste as urine, and store and expel urine from the body. The kidneys filter blood and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance while the ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder for storage until urination through the urethra.
The document provides information on the urinary system and urinalysis. It describes the structures of the urinary system including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. It then discusses the functions of the kidneys including production of urine, regulation of fluid balance and acid-base balance, and hormone production. Microscopic anatomy of the nephron is explained along with terms like osmosis, diffusion, reabsorption, and secretion. Physiology concepts such as urine concentration and regulation of volume are summarized. Finally, some common urinary conditions and what they indicate in urinalysis are briefly mentioned.
The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, one urinary bladder, and one urethra. The kidneys filter the blood and produce urine by regulating ions, volume, pH, and producing hormones. Urine passes from the kidneys to the bladder via the ureters. The bladder stores urine which is then expelled through the urethra. The functional unit of the kidney is the nephron, which filters blood and reabsorbs needed substances while secreting waste for urine production.

It describes how early scientists like Hooke, Van Leeuwenhoek, Brown, Schleiden, and Schwann made important discoveries using early microscopes that contributed to the formulation of the cell theory. The cell theory states that all living things are made up of cells, cells are the basic unit of structure and function, and cells come from pre-existing cells. The document also provides an overview of different types of microscopes, including optical, electron, transmission, scanning electron, and x-ray microscopes.
Bacteria are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that are found in nearly every habitat on Earth. Key characteristics of bacteria include their small size (usually 1 micrometer in length), lack of a nucleus, use of binary fission for reproduction, and ability to thrive in diverse environments. Bacteria play important roles in nutrient recycling and are both beneficial and pathogenic to other organisms. While antibiotics have been used to treat bacterial infections, overuse has led to increased antibiotic resistance in many bacteria.
