Everyone in this room started life as a single cell, a fusion of a sperm
and egg cell.
What processes must have happened to develop you from that single cell?
![Page 5: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How many new cells do you think you will make in a day?
Cell Division throughout Life

330 000 000 in 20 minutes so…
23,760,000,000 new cells every day!
![Page 7: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What do these pictures all have in common?
![Page 8: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
They are all examples of cell division in action for growth or
repair!
![Page 9: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
How do Cells Divide?
Mitosis – watch this clip on the process of mitosis and answer the following questions:
1.How are new cells produced?
2.What are chromosomes? Where are they found?
3.What kind of cells undergo mitosis?
4.What are the only kind of cells that do not undergo mitosis?
![Page 10: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Mitosis
• Mitosis is the process by which the nucleus divides into two daughter nuclei, each of which receives exactly the same number of chromosomes as were present in the original nucleus.
• As each chromosome becomes shorter and thicker, it is seen to be a double thread. Each thread is called a chromatid.
• The two chromatids of a chromosome are joined together by a centromere.
• The membrane of the nucleus disappears and spindle fibres form.
![Page 11: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mitosis
• A spindle fibre attaches to each centromere as the chromosomes line up along the ‘equator’ of the cell.
• Next, each centromere splits and one chromatid from each pair moves to opposite ends (or poles) of the cell.
• Finally, a new membrane forms around each nucleus and mitosis is complete.
• Mitosis is followed by division of the cytoplasm to form two identical daughter cells.
• Mitosis ensures the continuity of the diploid chromosome compliment from during cell division.

Chromosome Complement
• The number of chromosomes that a species of animal or plant possesses.
• Why do you think it is important that each new cell has the same chromosome complement as the parent cell?
![Page 15: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• During growth and development of an organism, the chromosome compliment will be able to provide the animal or plant with all the characteristics of its species.
• Losing any chromosome would mean a loss of genetic information – the information that forms the code allowing the cell to function correctly!
Chromosome Complement

Stem cells
Stem cells are found in animals. They are unspecialised cells which can divide by mitosis to develop into specialised cells.
Stem cells are found in early embryos –embryonic stem cells – and in adults –tissue stem cells.
![Page 17: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Embryonic stem cellsFound only in early embryos.
Can develop into any type of cell.
Allow us to growfrom tiny embryo to a fully formed baby.
![Page 18: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Found throughout the body in adults and children.
Use mainly for repair. They cannot form as many specialised cells.

Specialisation in animal cells
Cells in plants and animals show specialisation. This means they have a special shape or structure that allows them to carry out a specific function.
![Page 22: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

WHAT IS A SPECIALISED CELL?
Plants and animals consist of many cells andso are known as multicellular
They contain many different types of cells.
Each type of cell is designed to carry out aparticular job or function.
Not all cells look the same.
Some cells have a special shape and featuresto help them do a certain job.

SPERM CELL
.
Sperm Cell
• A sperm cell’s function is it’s involved in fertilisation.
• A sperm cell has a tail so it can swim towards the egg cell.

Nervous systemThe nervous system
is comprised of:1. Peripheral
nervous system2. Central nervous
system (CNS).The CNS is made of
the brain and the spinal cord.
![Page 34: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Gathering informationThe sense organs -
collect information from the environment.
Receptor cells are present in the sense organs which detect stimuli (changes in conditions).
This information is transmitted to the CNS through sensory neurons.
![Page 35: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Responding to information
The CNS processes the information and decides on what response to make.
The responses travel along a motor neuron to effectors e.g. muscles or glands.
![Page 36: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Effectors
Different effectors bring about different responses.
e.g. A muscle will bring about a fast response.
A gland will bring about a slower response.
![Page 38: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Reflex arc
Reflex actions do not require conscious thought.
If you touch something painful, the receptors in the skin send an electrical impulse along the sensory neuron to a inter neuron. This passes the signal to a motor neuron and onto the effector.
![Page 39: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)

Synapses Neurons do not directly touch each other.
Between two neurons there is a tiny gap called a synapse.
Signals move from one neuron to another by chemicals called neurotransmitters.

• State the origin, transport and target of hormones.
• Describe the role of hormones in blood glucose regulation.– Insulin and glucagon.
– Glycogen, pancreas and liver.

Hormones
Hormones twig video
Multicellular organisms using chemical messengers, called hormones, to send messages from one part of the body to another.
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands, all round the body, and travel in the blood to their target tissue.
![Page 44: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Hormones are specific to their target tissue.
Target tissues have special receptors in their cell membrane which will recognise specific hormones.
So a hormone will only work on their target tissue (similar to enzymes).
![Page 45: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Hormones in action: Blood glucose levels
Glucose is essential in animals as a source of energy. Cells in the body require a constant supply of glucose for respiration to occur.
Glucose is transported around the body in the blood and its levels must be tightly controlled.
![Page 47: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
After a meal1. After eating blood sugar levels
increase. 2. This is detected by cells in the
pancreas.3. The pancreas releases a hormone
called insulin into the blood.4. The insulin then travels to the liver.5. This activates enzymes in the liver
which convert glucose into glycogen.
![Page 48: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
5. The glycogen acts as a carbohydrate store and this brings the blood glucose levels down to the normal set point.
![Page 49: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
In between meals
1. In between meals blood glucose levels decrease as it is used up for respiration.
2. This is detected by cells in the pancreas.
3. The pancreas releases a hormone called glucagon. (= “glucose gone”)
![Page 50: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
4. The glucagon travels to the liver.
5. It activates enzymes in the liver which convert the glycogen back to glucose.
6. This raises the blood glucose levels to their normal set point.

Diabetes
Nearly a ¼ million people in Scotland suffer from diabetes.
This is a condition that affects the body’s ability to control blood glucose levels.
There are two types of this condition:
Type 1 and Type 2
![Page 53: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

Importance of controlling blood glucose
High blood glucose levels, caused by type 1 and type 2 diabetes, can cause damage to blood vessels – especially those in the eyes and kidney. This can lead to damaged vision and kidney failure.
Polyuria (frequent urination), and blurry vision are also symptoms of undiagnosed diabetes.

Internal v. External fertilisation
In order for fertilisation to occur the sperm require a liquid environment.
In many aquatic animals e.g. fish, frogs, fertilisation occurs outside the body. The offspring then develop outside the body.
In humans, and other land animals, fertilisation occurs inside the body.
![Page 69: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Gametes in plants
In plants the male gamete is pollen and the female gamete is the ovule.
The reproductive organs of plants are located in the flower.
Pollen is produced by the anther.
The ovule is produced by the ovary.
![Page 70: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Pollination
Pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stamen of the other.
![Page 72: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
Pollination can be caused by the wind or by insects.
Insect pollinated plants have flowers to attract insects.
While wind pollinated plants have anthers and stigma that hand outside the plant to catch the wind.
![Page 73: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Fertilisation
In order for fertilisation to take place, the pollen must reach the ovule nucleus.
To do this the pollen grows a pollen tube:
![Page 74: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
The pollen lands on the stigma.
It begins to grow a pollen tube towards the ovary.
The haploid pollen nucleus then fuses with the haploid ovule nucleus to form a diploid zygote.

![Page 82: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
What is a gene?
A gene is a single piece of genetic information made from DNA. It carries the information to create a particular characteristic. Genes exist in different forms called Alleles, which give different versions of the same characteristic.
![Page 83: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
• PHENOTYPE is the physical appearance resulting from the inherited information
• Example - Someone with blue eyes has the phenotype blue eyes.
• Genes or alleles can be said to be DOMINANT (shows up in the phenotype) or RECESSIVE (hidden when it is present along with the dominant gene).
• GENOTYPE is the combination of genes in a gene pair.
• Genotype is represented by 2 letters (one letter for each gene)
![Page 84: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)

Homozygous or Heterozygous
• Let B represent black coat colour in mice• Let b represent white coat colour
• BB has the phenotype black it is said to have a HOMOZYGOUS genotype (this is often called ‘pure breed’)
• Bb has the phenotype black but is said to have a HETEROZYGOUS genotype
• bb has the phenotype white and is said to be HOMOZYGOUS recessive.
![Page 86: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Monohybrid Crosses
Learning Intentions
• Explain and perform monohybrid crosses from P to F1 to F2 generations
![Page 87: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Gregor Mendal
A cross between two true-breeding parents that possess different forms (alleles) of one paricular gene is called a monohybrid cross.
Gregor Mendal an Austrian monk performed early monohybrid crosses using varieties of pea plant which possessed characteristics showing discontinuous variation.
![Page 88: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Carrying out a monohybrid cross
The parental generation is P1The first generation is F1 The second generation is F2Problem……A true breeding black mouse mates with a white mouse and all the offspring are black. Two of this generation then mate.
- State which allele is dominant and which allele is recessive - Give genotype and phenotype of the parent mice - Give genotype and phenotype of F1 and F2 generations- Give ratios of black coat to white coat in F2.
![Page 89: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Polygenic Inheritance
Most characteristics shown by plants and animals are polygenic, this means they are controlled by many genes that act together. Polygenic characteristics show continuous variation.
![Page 90: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Genotype & Phenotype Ratios
• Often, the ratios of genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring do not exactly match those predicted by calculations.
• This is because genetic inheritance is random.
![Page 91: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)

Mesophyll Cells
• Palisade mesophyll cells are closely packed together to allow for maximum light absorption.
• Spongy mesophyll cells have air spaces between them to allow for easy gas exchange.
![Page 98: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)

Water Transport
Learning Intentions
• Describe how water and minerals enter and are transported through plants.– Root hairs.
– Xylem vessels.
![Page 100: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/100.jpg)
Xylem
The role of the xylem is to transport water from the roots to all other areas of the plant.
The xylem plays an important role in the transport of minerals which are dissolved in the water.
It also helps strengthen the stem of the plant.
![Page 101: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/101.jpg)
National 4/5 Biology Course Unit 2
The xylem is a hollow tube of dead cells.
The xylem is strengthened by rings of lignin.
Water moves in an upwards direction from the roots.
![Page 102: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/102.jpg)

Stomata are pores on the surface of leaves.
Stomata allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to enter/exit the leaf.
They also allow water vapour to leave the leaf by evaporation.
![Page 104: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/104.jpg)

Transpiration
Learning Intentions
• Describe the process of transpiration.
• Explain how certain factors affect the rate of transpiration.– Wind speed, humidity, temperature and

![Page 106: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/106.jpg)
TranspirationWatch this clip http://youtu.be/w6f2BiFiXiM
Water travels up from the roots in the xylem to the leaves. In the leaves it moves by osmosis from cell to cell and then evaporates into the gaps in the spongy mesophyll cells.
If the stomata are open the water vapour will diffuse out of the leaf. This is called transpiration.
![Page 107: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)

PhloemAs well as transporting water and
minerals, plants have to transport the sugar from photosynthesis from the leaves to other parts of the plant.
This is carried out by special cells called phloem.
![Page 111: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)

The Coronary Arteries
• The heart receives it’s blood from the CORONARY ARTERIES.
• These are branches off the AORTA.
• The coronary arteries ensure that the heart muscle receive a good supply of glucose and oxygen to carry out respiration & release energy.

2.7 Absorption of Materials
![Page 143: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/143.jpg)
Learning Intentions• Explain & describe why oxygen and
nutrients are required by cells.
• Explain & describe why waste materials such as CO2 have to be removed from cells.
• State why tissues contain capillary networks.
• Describe how absorption of materials occurs and the features that allow it to happen efficiently.
![Page 144: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/144.jpg)
Why does absorption take place?
• Oxygen and nutrients from food must be absorbed into the bloodstream to be delivered to cells for respiration.
• Waste materials, such as carbon dioxide, must be removed from cells into the bloodstream, and then excreted out of the body.
• One way of doing this is in the tissues.
• Tissues contain capillary networks to allow the exchange of materials at cellular level.
![Page 145: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/145.jpg)
Absorption of materials (2)• Surfaces involved in the absorption of
materials have certain features in common: – Large surface area.
– Thin walls.
– Extensive blood supply.
• These increase the efficiency of absorption.
• Examples where absorption takes place are the lungs, and the villi of the small intestine.

Learning Intentions
• State that the lungs are the organs of gas exchange.
• Describe the structure of the alveoli.
• Describe how gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
![Page 148: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/148.jpg)
The Breathing System
• We breathe air in through our nose & mouth.
• It then passes through the trachea towards the lungs.
• The larger airways (such as the trachea) are held open by rings of cartilage.
• Air travels through the Bronchi, and then the bronchioles.
• At the end of the bronchioles are air sacs called alveoli.
![Page 149: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/149.jpg)

Absorption in the lungs -Alveoli
• The alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the lungs.
• They allow Oxygen & Carbon Dioxide to diffuse into & out of the blood.
• It is important that gas exchange happens quickly & efficiently.
• The following information shows the ways that the alveoli are adapted for efficient gas exchange:
![Page 153: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/153.jpg)
1. There are millions of alveoli in the lungs, increasing the surface area for diffusion to take place.
2. The alveoli are surrounded by a dense network of capillaries, giving them a good blood supply.
3. The walls of the alveoli are one cell thick, meaning diffusion must take place over a very short distance.
4. The lining of the alveoli is moist to allow gases to dissolve before they diffuse.
![Page 154: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/154.jpg)

Absorption in the Small Intestine
• Nutrients from food are absorbed into the villi in the small intestine.
• The large number of thin walled villi provides a large surface area.
• Each villus contains a network of capillaries to absorb glucose and amino acids and a lacteal to absorb fatty acids and glycerol.
![Page 161: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/161.jpg)
The Small Intestine
• The small intestine is made up of structures called villi.
• Villi are responsible for absorbing the products of digestion.
![Page 162: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/162.jpg)
To absorb food efficiently the small intestine has three main adaptations.
1. It has a very large surface area. This is because:
(a) It is very long (6 meters from end to end).
(b) The inner surface is folded and covered with many finger-like projections called Villi.
![Page 163: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/163.jpg)
Wall of
the Villi
2. The walls of the small intestine are very thin e.g. one cell thick. This allows rapid absorption of materials.
![Page 164: Unit One: Cell Biology](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020623/61f274f41f12597c4178b081/html5/thumbnails/164.jpg)
3. The small intestine has a very good blood supply. This allows the products of digestion to be carried away quickly.
