| What do Phagocytes do? B1 - 1.2 | Ingest the pathogens |
| What do Lymphocytes do? B1 - 1.2 | Multiply when they confront the disease and make lots of proteins called antibodies to help attack the disease |
| Why isn't there a vaccine for the common cold? B1 - 1.2 | It mutates too quickly |

| What is one of the main problems with viruses? B1 - 1.2 | They damage the host cell when they reproduce |
| What are receptors? B1 - 2 | Specialised cells that detect changes in the environment / stimuli |
| What does a receptor do once its been stimulated? B1 - 2 | It sends signal along the nerve cells (neurones) to the brain |
| Give an example of an effector B1 - 2 | A muscle contracting to move the arm |
| List 3 different types of Neurone B1 - 2 | Sensory (carries signals from receptors to the spinal cord or brain), Relay (carries signals from sensory to motor neurones) and motor (to carry signals to parts of the body that move) |

| Where do plants roots grow? B1 - 2 | towards moisture and in the direction of the force of gravity |
| What does the plant hormone Auxin do in the shoots? B1 - 2 | Causes increased cell growth, which causes the shoot to curve towards the stimulus |
| What does Auxin do in the roots? B1 - 2 | Inhibits cell growth, which causes the root to curve away from the stimulus |
| What do weed killers do? B1 - 2 | They cause the weed to grow very quickly but because the weed cant sustain this rate of growth it dies |
| What happens when you root hormones? B1 - 2 | Cuttings are taken form a plant, the cutting is dipped into rooting powders, then the hormone causes cells in the cutting to develop into roots |
