Term
what does genetic engineering do
Definition
it produces a unique set of genes genes can be swapped across species
Term
what are drugs
Definition
drugs are a substance that effects the way the brain and the body works
Term
what are the effects of air pollution on the enviroment
Definition
acid rain contaning harmful amounts of sulphuric acid which harms fishes and other wildlife creatures
Term
why is genetic engineering so important
Definition
used to mass produce insulin also human growth also key tool for natural scientists
Term
what are the cause of air pollution
Definition
burning fossil fuels such as coal oil also gasoline with can produce electricity and to power cars
Term
effects of pain killers
Definition
pain killers block nerve impulses
Term
what is meaning of trancription
Definition
making a copy of the DNA using RNA
Term
what are the four basis on the DNA
Definition
A,T,G and C
Term
how does genetic modification work
Definition
certain enzymes cut into pieces on DNA from one organism and the join them into the gap of DNA of another organism means that the inserted gene has one or more charecteristics
Term
what is genet engineering
Definition
means genetic modification but the same as cloning
Term
what is acid rain
Definition
rain that is acidic caused any the atmospheres pollution causing harm to lakes and streams
Term
what are performance enhancers
Definition
enhance muscles
Term
what are hallucinogens
Definition
they can distort what is seen and heard
Term
what is a catalytic converter
Definition
an emission control device that converts toxic gases and pollutants in the exhaust
Term
what are stimulants
Definition
increase brain activity
Term
what is complete combustion
Definition
plenty supply of air
Term
what are depressants
Definition
slows down Brain activity
Term
what does A,T,G and C (BASES) take part in
Definition
complementary base pairing
Term
what is incomplete combustion
Definition
supply of air is limited
Term
what does DNA stand for
Definition
deoxyribose nucleic acid
Term
what is gene technology
Definition
be used to create organisms that produce large amounts of substances
Term
how do u measure the speed of a car
Definition
speed=distance/time
Term
what is mommentum
Definition
when force is applied to an object that is moving or is able to move
Term
how do you calculate momentum
Definition
p=m x v

p=momentum m=mass v=velocity
Term
what are the forces on a car
Definition
.weight
.reaction force
.driving fore
.friction
.air resistance
Term
how is air resistance caused
Definition
know as drag and caused by air. the forces act in opposite directions
Term
how can air resistance be reduced
Definition
.reducing the area in contact with air.

. more streamlined
Term
what is homostatis
Definition
body temp the same which is 37 degrees
Term
what happens when the enzymes are too cold
Definition
enzymes work to slowly
Term
what happens when the enzymes are too hot
Definition
the enzymes become denatured and change shape
Term
what is the body temp moitored by
Definition
hypothalamus
Term
what is hypothermia
Definition
body temp goes too low
Term
what is hyperthermia
Definition
body temp too high
Term
what happens when your cold
Definition
blood vessels constrict, hair stand on end and no sweat is produced
Term
what happens when your too hot
Definition
you produce sweat. your hairs lie flat and blood vessels dialate
Term
what happens when there is to glucose in the blood
Definition
pancreases realises insulin
Term
what is insulin
Definition
insulin is a hormone which travels to the liver
Term
what happens if there is too little glucose in the blood
Definition
your body releases glucagon
Term
how does glucagon work
Definition
tells liver to break down glycogen into glucose and realise back into blood
Term
what is glucagon
Definition
a hormone that travels in blood to the liver
Term
common symptoms of diabetis
Definition
being really thirsty
losing weight with out trying to
sugar in urine
Term
what is hyperglyceamia
Definition
when there is to much sugar in the blood
Term
what is hypoglyceamia
Definition
when there is not enough sugar in the blood
Term
what is type 1 diabetes
Definition
can make no insulin at all

need injections of insulin
Term
what is type 2 diabetes
Definition
you make too little insulin or cells don't react to it

treated by change of diet
Term
how do u speed up photosynthesis
Definition
you increase all the factors
Term
what is root madness
Definition
a disease in sugar beet caused by virus
Term
what do viruses do
Definition
virus are spread by a living organism called a vector
Term
what are the other ways diseases are spread
Definition
droplets by air
blood
direct skin to skin contact
Term
what does fair test mean
Definition
where you only change one variable while all the other variables stay the same
Term
what is resperation
Definition
release energy in our cells
Term
where does respiration happen
Definition
happens in mitochondria
Term
what is a balanced diet
Definition
getting a wide range of the different food groups in the correct amounts.
Term
what does GRAMPA stand for
Definition
gender
religion
age
medical issues
personal choice
activity
Term
how can u making cooking more efficiently
Definition
by using a lid and also using the correct size and perhaps using a copper instead of steel as copper is a better conducttor
Term
what are carbohydrates
Definition
used for energy example bread, potato, cereal
Term
what are fats
