● Who is responsible for safety?
○ Everyone
● Legislation
○ Safety and Health and welfare at work 2005
 ● Duties
○ Employee
■ Follow procedures
■ Report hazards
■ Attend training
○ Employer
■ Provide training
■ Supervise
■ Safety inspections
● Hazards
○ Can cause potential harm
● Risk
○ The likelihood of a hazard causing harm
○ Low -> medium -> high risk
○ Risk assessment
■ Contains all hazards and risk assessments in the workplace
● Safety statement
○ Legal document - mandatory
○ Duties and roles
○ Risk assessments
○ Safety/emergency procedures
○ Why?
■ Financial reasons
■ Legally required
■ Duty of care
● Safety in the lab
○ Legislation
○ Label, store, and transport chemicals safely
○ Must know the chemical symbols (identify only)
● MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)
○ Properties of chemical
○ Causes of the chemical
○ First aid measures
○ Suitable storage

Excretion organs:
Skin - sweat, water, salt, urea
Lungs - carbon dioxide
Kidneys - urine, water, waste

Sexual reproduction:
Male and female involved
Common in animals and plants
Offspring are similar but not identical to parents
Asexual reproduction:
No sex cells (gamates) produced
Common in single cell organisms like amoeba
Offsprings are clones of parent
 Regeneration
Offspring are infertile

Animal Cell Aim

● What is a cell and know 3 examples of cell types
● Differences between animal and plant cells
● Be able to label diagrams
● Functions of each organelle in both plant and animal cells
● Difference between prokaryotic (first (primitive) organisms) and eukaryotic
Cell membrane
● Made up of phospholipids and proteins

LR2 Conclusion: (5 Marks)

● Research and discuss
○ The species you identified - abundant and scarce
○ Adaptations
○ Abiotic factors - favourable soil ph, temp, light, intensity
○ Leaf litter
○ Mushrooms - shaggy mane

23rd November Ecology Exam

Fungi
● 100,000 species
● Mushrooms, moulds, yeast
● Are eukaryotes
● Cell walls made of chitin
● Reproduce with spores
● Mainly Saprophytes - eat dead matter
● Do not carry out photosynthesis, are always heterotrophic - get food from ground
● Ultimate decomposers

Zygomycota
● Called the sporangium
● Commonly called moulds
● Includes blights
● Hyphae have no cross walls (aseptate)
● Grow rapidly
● Includes bread mould

Psychoactive mushrooms
Psilocybin mushrooms possess psychedelic properties
Commonly known as magic mushrooms
Edible: field mushroom, truffle, chanterelle
Poison: Death cap, destroying angel

Binary Fission: the asexual reproduction of two cells by splitting one body into two
Eukaryote: organisms that contain a nucleus and other organelles within a membrane
Prokaryote: organisms that lack a nucleus
Obligate parasite: a parasite that needs a host to complete its life cycle
Facultative parasite: a parasite that doesn’t need a host to complete its life cycle
Asepsis: being immune to disease carrying microorganisms
Inoculation: the addition of cells to a nutrient medium
Incubation: growing microbes in a warm environment
Medium: a mixture in which cells can grow
