Resumo de Recurso
BIOLOGY 4.3
PLANTS NEED MINERALS
NITRATES
Contain nitrogen for making amino acids
Needed for proteins for cell growth
Without: poor growth & yellow leaves
PHOSPHATES
Contain phosphorus for making DNA and cell membranes
Needed for respiration and growth
Without: poor root growth & discoloured leaves
POTASSIUM
Potassium compounds to help enzymes in respiration and photosynthesis
Without: poor flower/fruit growth & discoloured leaves
MAGNESIUM
Magnesium compounds for photosynthesis
Needed to make chlorophyll
Without: yellow leaves
ACTIVE TRANSPORT
Root hairs give the plant a big surface area for absorbing minerals
Concentration of minerals in soil is low - higher in root hair cell
Uses energy from respiration to help plant pull minerals into the root hair against the concentration gradient (from low to high conc)
DECAY
Things decay because of microorganisms/decomposers
The rate of decay depends on:
Temp
Hotter = faster - respiration in microorganisms is sped up
Water
Moist = fast decay
Oxygen/air
More oxygen = faster - microorganisms can respire aerobically
DETRIVORES
Feed on dead and decaying material
e.g. earthworms, maggots, woodlice
Break material up into small bits
This gives a bigger surface area to work on and speeds up decay
SAPROPHYTES
Feed on decaying material by extracellular digestion
i.e. feed by secreting digestive enzymes on to the material outside of their cells
The enzymes break down the materials into smaller bits which can be absorbed by the saprophyte
Many saprophytes are fungi
PRESERVING FOOD
Canning
Keeps decomposers out
Cooling
Slows decomposers' reproduction rate
Freezing
Decomposers can't reproduce
Drying
Decomposers need water for cell reactions
Pickling
Acid kills decomposers
Adding sugar/salt
High sugar conc = loss of water by osmosis - decomposers can't work properly
