There are now much stricter rules on the claims that a food advert can make. A claim is a statement that is supposed to be true. Adverts often contain claims to convince you to buya product. Many countries now have laws that say that, all health claims must be supported by scientific evidence. ‘We also know much more about the effects of food on the body today. Scientists think that foods that are high in fat and sugar can cause people to put on too much weight. For this reason, these types of foods cannot be advertised on children’s TV.

Your diet provides raw materials for your body, which are needed for energy (to move, keep warm, make new materials), growth and repair, and health. What do scientists mean by diet? al What isa nutrient? Food substances that provide raw materials are called nutrients. These include carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals. b| What does your body use nutrients for? ‘The main carbohydrates in food are insoluble starch and soluble sugars. There are many different sugars, including sucrose (table sugar) and glucose. There are many different sorts of fats. Some are solid and some are liquid at room temperature. We call liquid fats oils. Fats and oils are sometimes called lipids. ‘We also need to eat fibre. This is made of plant cell walls and is not used by the body, but it keeps us healthy by helping food move through the intestines and stopping them getting blocked (constipation). Wholegrain cereals and breads contain a lot of fibre. Waters also very important since about 65 per cent of you is water! Water: = acts asa lubricant «= dissolves substances so that they can be carried around the body ® fills up cells so that they hold their shape = cools you down, when you sweat. How are water and fibre helpful for preventing constipation? FullBran is a new cereal that contains alot of fibre, Write a health claim for use in a FullBran advert. Explain why you should drink plenty of water in hot weather. Food labelling Nutrition information labels show the amounts of different nutrients in a food. You can compare the nutrients in different foods using the ‘per 100 gram (g) of food’ values. You cannot compare foods using ‘per serving of food: since servings of different foods are different sizes.Nutrition labels also show the amount of fibre and the amount of energy stored in the food. Food labels have a list of ingredients and highlight substances that people may be allergic to (e.g. nuts, eggs). Labels also show warnings about substances that can cause problems. For example, in Europe, if'a drink contains a lot of caffeine, the label will state:‘Not suitable for children, pregnant women and persons sensitive to caffeine!

People who are starving get thinner and thinner. Obesity People whose food contains more energy than they need may become overweight. This can cause heart disease, when fat clogs the arteries and stops enough blood reaching the heart muscle tissue. If very little blood reaches the heart muscle, it can start to die (a heart attack), which causes a painful squeezing feeling in the chest. People who are overweight are more likely to have high blood pressure, which can damage the heart or kidneys or cause blood vessels to burst. People who are very overweight are said to be obese.

Allergy advice Product contains glutenProteins, fats and most carbohydrates are too big for your body to use and need to be broken down into smaller pieces. Digestion turns large insoluble molecules into smaller soluble ones. Digestion occurs as your food passes through your gut (a tube made up of different organs). The gut and some other organs that help digestion (such as the salivary ‘a What does the digestive system do? | Why do we need to digest food? lands, liver and pancreas) form the digestive system. 1.

Muscles in the oesophagus contract to make the tube above the food narrower, and this pushes food towards the stomach, Food is moved through the whole gut in the same way. 4 3.1In the stomach, food is churmed up with acid (pH 1-2) and more digestive _- hoes are addes 5, Food that we cannot digest (e.g. fibre) goes \ into the large intestine, where water is removed _ This forms a more solid material called faeces (pronounced ‘fee-sees') 6. The rectum stores faeces, which are then pushed out of the anus in a process called defaecation or egestion. It takes about 24—48 hours for food to go through the gut. (Note that defaecation is getting rid of undigested food. Excretion is gotting rid of wastes produced by your cells.) Draw a flow chart to show what happens in each organ of the gut, What are ingestion and egestion? Describe how food is pushed through the gut.Gut bacteria Bacteria are microorganisms (organisms you need ? a microscope to see). Although they are tiny, your Intestines contain about 1 kilogram (kg) of the’ Some of these bacteria are useful, but other types are harmful. ‘The bacteria in your gut feed on your food and can digest some foods that your body cannot.

Substances that speed up reactions (without being changed er - themselves) are called catalysts. Enzymes are biological catalysts. <2 Most of the enzymes needed for digestion are produced by your body and are found in the various digestive juices that are added to food as it travels, through the gut.

Calculating surface areas ‘Accube has six faces. To find the surface area of a cube you find the area of each face and add them all together.

Samples can be taken using a square frame called a quadrat, which is placed in different places around a habitat. In each place, ‘the organisms inside it are observed, and those of interest are counted. If you know the area of the habitat and the area covered by the quadrats, you can estimate the total populations of the organisms. A quadrat needs to be placed at random, This means that there is an equal chance of the quadrat being placed in any part of the habitat. There are different methods to randomly choose where quadrats are placed. Doing this means that the person placing the quadrat does not influence which parts of an area are sampled. a Alawn has an area of 250 m? Using a quadrat, 15 daisy plants are found in a 10 m? sample.

Sexual reproduction occurs when two organisms breed and produce new organisms. Members of the same species can reproduce sexually to produce offspring that can also reproduce sexually.

These characteristics are inherited and so variation in these characteristics is called inherited variation. Describe one characteristic the plumcot has inherited from: al apricots b| plums. In sexual reproduction, the parents produce sex cells or gametes. A male gamete and a female gamete join together to forma fertilised egg celll or zygote. ‘The gametes carry the instructions for making a new organism, but each and every gamete made by a parent contains slightly different instructions for characteristics. This means that different offspring with the same parents will vary, and not look identical. RO ed Ce See aa eed gametes of flowering Peeters Oey eet cca Pree pce ute (magnification x 100)Asexual reproduction Plants can reproduce sexually, but many also use asexual reproduction. This type of reproduction does not need gametes. Instead, part of the parent plant forms a new plant. This means that the offspring will be identical to the parent. fee Strawberry plants grow runners, which spread over the ground and sprout roots at intervals. Once the new plants have opened their leaves and can photosynthesise, the runner rots away. Potato plants grow underground stems. The ends of these grow to form potato tubers (potatoes). They contain a store of food (starch). Each tuber can grow into a new potato plant. Rey ue eos asexual reproduction. EEA what do strawberry plants use to reproduce: al sexually bl asexually? [Eg] tonyhasseven tubers from one plantin his garden, called Gyclamen persicum. When he plants the tubers, why can he be ‘sure that they will all grow into plants that look the same? Gardeners use asexual reproduction to produce identical new plants quickly and cheaply. Often, they cut off a leaf or side stem from a plant and put it in moist soil. This is called taking a cutting. The cuttings grow roots and form new plants. Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are all exactly the same as the parent. Asexual reproduction does not produce inherited variation but does allow plants to spread much faster than by using sexual reproduction. on ae eget eee rence etc a| How is taking a cutting an example of asexual reproduction? b| Suggest one advantage of taking cuttings compared with collecting seeds from plants and growing them.

Flowers have different structures depending on how they are pollinated. en Plants that use animal pollinators have flowers with petals. They attract the animals (mainly insects) with scent, colours and nectar to eat. Some plants also make extra pollen as a food for visiting insects.

They are soft, juicy a) and often good to eat. Many of them are brightly coloured to attract animals to 4 eat them. The flesh of the fruitis easily digested but the seeds are protected from the digestive systems of the animals. The seeds are egested (passed out) by the animals in their faeces. Other fruits are dry. They use animals, wind, water and even explosions to disperse their seeds. Seed dispersal allows plant species to spread ‘to new areas. It also means that the new plants are not in competition with their parents. Plants compete with one another for resources (e.g. light, water). The more plants in an area, the greater the competition. If offspring grow away from their parents, there will be less competition between them.

FEB) Desaibe the stages of germination, include atleast three stages Water allows the cells in the embryo to swell up and start cell division. It softens the seed coat too, allowing the embryo to grow through it. Water also lets substances called enzymes start breaking down the food store. The food is turned into smaller molecules, such as glucose, that the plant uses for growth. Ey 2 vitatare thera materials needed for respiration?

The Perio petsAfter germination, leaves make food for the plant by photosynthesis; carbon dioxide and water are used to make glucose (a type of sugar). The plant then converts the glucose into starch, to store it. The mass of material produced is biomass. Oxygen is a byproduct of this process, which we can summarise as follows: light energy carbon dioxide + water —iereahy > GEN + glucose Photosynthesis needs energy, which is transferred by light from the Sun. A green substance called chlorophyll, found inside chloroplasts, traps the energy and transfers it to glucose molecules, which store it.

Interdependence Many plants depend on insects for pollination and the insects depend on the plants for food, such as nectar. We say that they are interdependent. Humans also depend on the insects and the plants, because many plants do not form seeds and fruits for us to eat a mature plant if they are not pollinated. Plants and animals rely on one another in other ways. Many animals use plants for shelter. The seedlings from seeds dispersed through being eaten by animals also gain from a supply of mineral salts from the animals’ droppings. How are animals and plants interdependent for the gases they need? Numbers of honeybees have been decreasing recently. Explain how this might affect humans.8Be HOW DO ANIMALS USE PLANTS? Like humans, animals have a whole range of uses for plants, other than for food. ‘Woodpecker finches, on the Galapagos Islands, use cactus spines to pick insects out of tree branches. Male bowerbirds attract females by building large nests (or bowers) and decorating them with flowers, fruits, tubers and other useful or decorative objects. In parts of Africa, crested rats chew up the bark of. arrow poison trees and smear it on their fur, to kill predators. Local hunters also use the bark to make a deadly poison for their arrows.

The gladiators fought one another in front of large crowds of people. They were often badly injured, and many died from their ‘wounds. However, Galen was very successful at saving the gladiators’ lives and so other doctors thought his ideas must be right. They continued to think he was right for the next 1500 years. One of Galen's ideas was that the heart created warmth. He imagined that it contained a slow fire and thought that we breathed air to cool the heart. It was not until the 17th century that scientists started to test ideas about breathing. In 1660, Robert Boyle (1627-1691) placed a burning candle in a jar and sucked out all the air.

How total vital capacity depends on height The more repeated measurements there are, the closer the mean is likely to be to the real value for the measurement. Using more repeats also helps you to identify anomalous results (outliers). These are results that are very different from all the ‘other repeated measurements or that do not follow the same pattern as other measurements. f you can say what caused a eet result to be anomalous, you can leave it out “450 155 160 165 170 175 180 185 190 when you calculate a mean.

From the lungs, blood enters the heart to be pumped out to the rest of, the body through blood vessels called arteries. These divide into tiny capillaries. In the capillaries, oxygen gradually leaves the red blood cells and dissolves in the plasma, This leaks out through tiny holes in the capillaries and forms tissue fluid, which carries the oxygen to the cells. Plasma has glucose and other nutrients dissolved in it and so these are also in the tissue fluid. Waste products from cells dissolve in the tissue fluid and return to other capillaries, which connect to veins. Veins carry blood back towards the heart.

How is glucose carried to cells? They need more oxygen and glucose. Your breathing rate increases to get extra oxygen into your blood, and your heartbeat rate increases to pump blood to the muscles more quickly. bb What process produces this substance? ¢| Where in a cellist produced? | Describe how itis excreted from the body. a| Explain why a boy's breathing rate doubles during a swimming race. b| Explain why his pulse rate also changes when he is racingTeen Lack of oxygen akiR MIE —\Without enough oxygen your cells can start to die. This can happen because of: = narrowed blood vessels ®= poisons ® poor gas exchange in the lungs. To avoid heat loss when itis cold, the blood vessels in your skin become narrow and less blood reaches the cells. Ifthis causes cells to die, it results in frostbite. Pec) In cardiovascular disease, blood vessels become narrower due to a fatty substance collecting inside them. If this reduces blood flow too much, then cells start dying. More of the fatty substance builds up in smokers. Heart disease is a type of cardiovascular disease in which the blood supply to the heart muscles is. reduced. This can cause a heart attack (in which heart muscle cells die). Faulty gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas also found in cigarette smoke. The gas sticks to haemoglobin and so stops red blood cells carrying so much oxygen. Tar in tobacco smoke and dust both irritate the alveoli in the lungs. Over a long time this causes the alveoli to break apart (emphysema), reducing their surface area. Cigarette smoke can also trigger asthma, in which the tiny tubes in the lungs become narrow and start filling with mucus. Less air can get into and out of the lungs, causing shortness of breath. Why does blood from a smoker contain eee eeu a to less oxygen than blood from a non- Reece eee smoker? Give as many reasons as you can.

Vital capacity is the largest volume of breath you can take after breathing out. It can be measured using a simple respirometer (see page 42). Collect measurements on vital capacity for as many people as you can. For those same people, collect data for another one or more continuous variables (eg. age, height, pulse rate). Construct a spreadsheet to record all the measurements for each person. Use your spreadsheet to construct scatter graphs of lung volume against each of the other measurements you took. Use your scatter graphs to identify any correlations between vital capacity and the other measurements. Compare any correlations in your scatter graphs. Which measurement correlates most strongly with vital capacity? Explain how you worked out your answer.UK NG, iLS, CEE HOW DO WE DETECT GAS EXCHANGE IN DIFFERENT ORGANISMS? ‘To spend long periods underwater, humans take oxygen with them to breathe.

Ifyou hold your breath, the amount of carbon dioxide in your blood plasma increases. Ifit reaches a certain level, your brain causes you to breathe. This is why you cannot hold your breath for too long, although people can train themselves to hold their breath for longer times. HEB what substances does aerobic respiration produce?

After holding your breath for a He y long time, you breathe faster to get rid of the extra carbon ae ene tree dioxide in your blood and to replace the oxygen used up from your blood and muscles. . During aerobic exercise your body continuously gets enough oxygen to replace the oxygen being used by contracting muscle cells. You can do aerobic exercise, such as slow swimming, for long periods of time. During strenuous exercise, oxygen is used up faster than itis replaced. When this happens, anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of your muscle cells. This does not need oxygen. We can summarise anaerobic respiration in humans as: glucose —— lactic acid (+ some energy) B | Underwater ice hockey players rely on anaerobic respiration eee ea a Te eee ee eo ee eee oe once or twice and some do not breathe at allAnaerobic respiration does not release as much energy from glucose as aerobic respiration, and so does not form as much ATP.

A 14th-century suggestion blamed planets lining up in the sky. Inthe 17th century, bad air produced by rotting things was blamed. In the late 19th century, a microorganism called Yersinia pestis was shown to be the cause. The disease causes blood vessels to split open and leak blood, which then clots (sets hard). The clots stop blood from reaching tissues and so cells die and turn black. ieee ey eek) Reh ade) now be treated.= UNICELLULAR OR 8Da MULTICELLULAR HOW DO DIFFERENT SPECIES OF UNICELLULAR ORGANISM VARY? {An organism is a living thing, All organisms carry out seven life processes: movement, reproduction, sensitivity, growth, respiration, excretion, nutrition.

PTUs | Why do multicellular organisms need efficient transport systems?Kingdoms Organisms are classified into five kingdoms based on what their cells look like. Yersinia pestis, which causes plague, is a bacterium. All bacteria are in the prokaryote kingdom. Unicellular protoctists are larger than bacteria. Unicellular fungi (e.g. yeasts) are usually smaller than protoctists but bigger than bacteria. Viruses Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and cause diseases like chicken pox, influenza (flu) and measles. They have no cell wall, no mitochondria, no nucleus and cannot live without being inside a living cell. Since they do not carry out the processes for themselves, they are not living organisms and there is no virus kingdom. Virus particles have a very simple structure, mainly consisting of a protein coat that contains a strand of genes. The genes contain the instructions for making new viruses. When a virus gets into a cell, these genes cause the cell to make new copies of the virus, which then burst out of the cell. This is known as replication. Viruses are parasites, which means that they live on or in an organism (the host) and harm it.
