- Amino Acids
- Different levels of proteins are needed, for different
energy usages and life styles
- Carbohydrate
- Glucose
- Is needed in repiration
- Respiration= carbohydrate+Oxygen=Carbon Dioxide + Water+
Energy
- Main Energy source of the human body
- Stored in the liver as glycogen
- Fat
- Fatty Acid/ Glycerol
- Are stored as an energy reserve and an
insulator
- Stored under the skin and around the body as adipose tissue
- RDA
- Recommended Dietary Allowance
- To calculate the EDA of how much protein it is 0.6*Weight
- inflated stomach
- Kwashiorkor
- Malnutrition
- Lack of protien
- Low protein levels (low oncotic pressure)
- With Low Protein the blood cannot hold fluid
- It then leaks out as edema
- Overpopulation
- Not enough money to invest in agriculture
- Edema
- Fluid where it is not meant to be.In human body.
- BMI
- Body Mass Index
- BMI measures the height to weight ratio
- Underweight
- Normal

- The Rate At Which The Heart Pumps Blood Around
The Body
- Diastolic
- The Rest Rate Of The Heart
- Fitness And Its Link To Blood Pressure
- People who are fit normally have a normal systolic and diastolic
pressure
- The average blood pressure 120/80
- Types Of Fitness
- Heart Disease
- Causes of Heart Disease
- Cholesterol
- Plaque
- C27H46O
- Also Known As Lipid
- A Fatty Substance
- Important for the normal functioning of body
- Made in the liver
- Hyperlipidemia
- Excessive amounts of lipids in blood
- Causes Health Problem
- On its own isn't enough to cause symptoms
- Carried in blood by protiens
- LDL
- Low Density Lipoprotien
- These carry lipoprotiens to the cells that need
them
- It can build up on artery walls
- This means a higher risk
- Known As Bad Cholesterol
- HDL
- High Density Lipoprotien
- HDL carries cholesterol back to the liver
- Once carried back to the liver it is either broken down or becomes a waste product
- Lipoprotiens
- Illness
- Stroke

- When the blood flow of the heart
is affected
- peripheral arterial disease
- Blood clotting involving the legs
- Smoking
- Carbon Monoxide
- Nicotine
- The addictive substance in cigarettes
- Increases the heart rate
- Lessens the amount of HDL
- Causes Adrenaline to be released, and so increasing the heart rate
- Carbon Monoxide
- Causes direct damage to the
heart
- Permantly Impears Cardiac Function
- Lowers the oxygen capacity of the blood
- It combines with Haemoglobin to compensate for the oxygen
reduction, it also increases the heart rate
- Staying Healthy
- Pathogens
- Virus
- Are not alive, need a cell to multiply within. These can also
infect bacteria.
- The structure of a virus consist of
- Nucleic acid
- Contains the information to help the virus multiply
- Makes the virus unique.
- Lipid membrane
- Covers the protein coat /or/ capsid, however many virus don't have thid
- Protein Coat
- This is a covering over the nucleic acid to protect it
- Virus need the cell to multiply as they do
not have any machinery on their own, so
they must seek a cell to take over.
- The Virus attaches it self to a receptor on the cell surface, each
virus has a different preferred receptor
- Stages
- 1.Virus attaches to cell this is called absorption
- 2.It injects its DNA or RNA into the cell this known as entry
- 3.The DNA or RNA takes control of the cell and begins to gather eynzems
- 4. The enzymes would start making replication of the virus
- 5. The virus of in the cell come together to form new virus, this is called assembly
- 6. The host is killed by the virus and the virus is released to look for another potential host cell. This is called Release
- German measles
- Chickenpox
- Protozoa
- Single celled eukaryotes, or an organism whose cells have nuclei.
- Are sometimes carried by vectors such as mosquito
- Malaria stages
- 1). Mosquito bite human and passes on
plasmoduim
- 2).Plasmodium gets into the liver
and reproduces, then enters red blood cells and reproduces again
- 3). Some red blood cells burst causing the symptoms, chill and fever
- 4).Another mosquito feeds and the plasmodium is passed on again
- Mefloquine hydrochloride , also known as lariam
- Heterotrophs
- Eat other organisms/ do not produce their own food
- Live in moist enviorments
- Amoeba
- When it feeds produces
Pseudopods, which extend to
engulf the food.
- Ciliates
- Ciliates use tiny little
hair, cillia to move backward
and forwards this is
called Paramecuim
- Fungi
- Ringworm
- any unicellular, multicellular, or syncytial spore
producing organisms feeding on organic matter
- Bacteria
- components
- Basal Body
- This anchors the base of the flagellum allowing to rotate
- Capsule
- A protective layer outside the cell wall/sometimes.
- Cell Wall
- A thin layer of membrane in which
is sandwiched between the
capsule and the plasma
membrane
- DNA
- Contains information on that is used in bacteria development
- A genetic material with ribosomes inside
- Flagellum
- This is used for movement to propel the cells. some bacteria have more then one.
- Pili
- Spikes that allow the cell to stick to surfaces and transfer genetic material to other cells
- Plasma membrane
- Generates energy and transports chemicals. Substances can pass through the membrane .
- Ribosomes
- RNA
- Whooping Cough
- Bubonic Plague
- A pathogen is an organism in which causes a disease
- Disease
- Scurvy is caused by lack of vitamin D
- anaemia is caused by lack of iron
- Cancer occurs when cells divide out of control.
- Cancer Tumours can be malignant
- Grow faster
- Blood Clotting
- When skin is penetrated
blood rushes out and soon
after pallets are meshed to
the red blood cells with
fibrin
- Mucus
- Traps dust and microbes
- pushed up the throat by cillia
- Hydrochloric acid
- Kills bacteria in stomach
- White Blood cells
- Engulf pathogen
- Produce antitoxin
- Produce antibodies
- White Blood cells remain so that if the same pathogen comes again it would
be able to fight it off.
- This is active immunity because you make your own
antibodies.
- Sometimes you may need drugs
to fight the pathogen this is
passive immunity
- testing drugs
- 1). tested in laboratory and computer modelled
- 2).if it pass the first stage it can be tested on animals.
- 3). Clinical trials
- Double blind trials
- One patient is given a placebo the other the real drug
- Immunisation
- Different vaccinations are given for a different pathogen
- Live pathogens made harmless
- Harmless bits of the pathogen
- Dead Pathogens
- toxins produced by pathogens
- These in turn would stimulate the white blood cells, so if someone get this
pathogen in future they will be able to fight it off
- Some pathogens are resistant to antibiotics such as
MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
- To stop the resistance we need to not use antibiotics unnecessary and complete treatment
- The Nervous System
- Multicellular organism use a nervous system to
communitcate
- Nervous system use electrical impulse
- CNS
- Central Nervous System
- This is made up of the brain and the spinal cord
- Nerve cells are neurones
- Neurones
- Axon
- Axons are fibers which carry neural signal the, the larger the
axon the quicker the signal is transmitted
- Axons are covered in a fatty substance called myelin that
acts as an insulator
- May or may not have covering
- Insulated axons carry information quicker
- Most Neurons only have one axon
- Nucleus
- Contains genetic information. Chromosomes.
- Nucleolus
- produces ribosomes necessary for translation of genetic
information into proteins
- Dendrite
- Dendrites carry electrical signals to the cell body
- Motor
- This moves the arm as an automatic reaction to the change or
source of pain
- Relay
- After the sensory being stimulated, the relay would then
send the signal to the brain and then send the command
from the brain to the motor
- Or it could be found in the spinal cord
- Sensory
- These would pick up change in
tempreature, pressure.
- Eyes
- Sensitive to light
- Ears
- Vibration Sensitive
- Nose
- Chemicals in air
- Skin
- Touch, Pressure, pain

- Eyes
- Iris
- The iris has little muscles that dilate and
constrict dependent of the light
- Conrea
- To focus light into the eye
- Lens
- Expands and fattens, to see near and far objects
- Pupil
- I hole that would allow light to pass
- Sclear
- Reflects light that has past through the choroid, and protects the eye
- Vitreous Humor
- The sack inside the year
- Optic Nerve
- Sends what the light receptors pick up to the
brain as electrical signals

the retina
- Light rays could go outside the focal path
- Long-sightedness
- Eyeball to short
- Cornea not curved enough
- Lens isn't thick enogugh
- Focal point falls outside of retina
- Short-sightedness
- Focal point doesn't fall on retina

- Because of DNA each
fingerprint is unique
- Gene
- A gene is a base guide that makes up the DNA it shows
how amino acids can be put together
- Chromosomes
