Q
where does Mitosis does and does not occur ?
A

an individual’s complete set of chromosomes.
6
Q

A
The spreading out of particles from an area of a high to low concentration.
7
Q
tell me 5 good qualities of a Alveoli
A
- Permeable
- Moist - so oxygen can diffuse faster since its moist.
- One cell thick
- Good blood supply
- Large surface area
8

A
the Alveoli in the lungs
9
Q
what is Sedimentation
A
Sedimentation is the process in which particles separate from a liquid because of gravity
10
Q

A
It is the movement of water from an area of high concentration, to an area of low concentration, across a partially permeable membrane
11

47
Affects of temperature
* As the temperature increases the particles get more kinetic energy.
* This means they move faster so collide (and bind) with enzymes more often.
* This speeds up the rate of reaction.
*However, past the optimum temperature, the rate decreases (gets slower).
