The diagram in slide # 12 (refer to the

attached slides) show the magnetic field

around a wire when a current flows in the
wire.
a. What shapes are the magnetic field lines? b. Where is the magnetic field strongest?
Explain how you can tell from the diagram
a. They are in concentric circles or in a curved way.
b.The magnetic field is strongest at either the pole of the magnet but the strongest
place is at the north pole . We can tell by looking at the dense field line.

Photosynthesis

-‘Photo means to do with light and ‘Synthesis’ means making.So ‘Photosynthesis means making
with light.
 Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose +
Oxygen

Inside a leaf
Waxy layer Located on the leaf surface that stops the leaf cells from dying out

Upper Protects the cells inside the leaf

epidermis

Palisade layer Contain cells that do most of the photosynthesis

Spongy layer Has lots of air spaces,the cells in the spongy layer do a small amount of
photosynthesis

Stoma A tiny hole in the lower epidermis.These holes let CO2 from the air get into
the leaf

Lower Protects the cells inside the leaf

epidermis

Vein Carries water to the cells in the leaf

-A good way to find out if a water plant is photosynthesising is to see if it gives off bubbles of
oxygen.

Functions of roots
-Absorb water and minerals from the soil
-Anchor the plant firmly in the ground
-Some store food in the roots
-Can survive harsh conditions that kill the above ground parts of the plant.

-Water and minerals are transported from a plant’s root to its leaves inside long, hollow tubes
called xylem vessels.( Wood is made up of xylem vessels)
-Xylem cells are very tiny, have very strong and hard walls and support the plant.

Food and digestion

Protein Used for making new cells and many important chemicals in the body
such as enzymes and antibodies

Carbohydrate Used to provide energy

Fat Provides energy,can be stored in the body and needed to make cell
membranes

Vitamins and Nutrients that are needed in only very small amounts, do not provide
 minerals energy

Fibre Helps to keep food moving easily through the digestive system

Water Between 60 and 70 % of the body is made up of water.

Alimentary canal
The mouth is the entrance to a long tube called the alimentary canal.The food inside the
alimentary canal can only reach the body cells of it can get out through the walls of the
tube.This process is called ‘absorption’.Digestion is the breakdown of large molecules into small
ones, so that they can be absorbed.
Human Digestive system = (Mouth -- esophagus -- stomach -- small intestine -- large intestine)

Incisors Chisel-shaped, with a sharp edge

Used for biting off small pieces of food

Canines More pointed than incisors

Used for biting off small pieces of food (humans)

Premolars Have broad surfaces with ridges on them

Used for crushing and and grinding food when we chew

Molars Like premolars, sometimes a bit bigger

Used for crushing and grinding food
(Enamel can be dissolved by acids.)

Enzymes (are not changed A chemical which breaks down the large nutrient molecules
itselves) into small molecules.
(biological catalysts)

Catalysts A substance that speeds up a chemical reaction, but is not

changed itself
Circulatory System
Blood vessels A tube that carries blood around the body

Oxygenated blood Blood that has been to the lungs and picked up oxygen

Deoxygenated Blood that has been around the body and given up its oxygen to the
blood body cells
 Arteries A blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart

Veins A blood vessel that carries blood towards the heart.

Capillaries Tiny blood vessels that deliver blood close to every tissue

Platelets Formation of blood clots;prevention of bleeding

Red blood cells Carries oxygen

White blood cells Protects the body against infection

Plasma Carries salt and enzymes

Respiratory system

Respiration A diffusion of gases into and out of the body

Happens inside the air sacs in the lungs

Gas Exchange a biological process through which different gases are transferred in opposite
directions across a specialised respiratory surface

Air sac A tiny air filled space inside the lungs, also called an alveolus

alveoli A tiny air filled space inside the lungs; also called an air sac

diffuses spread

Aerobic The release of energy from glucose by reacting it with oxygen inside living
respiration cells

Reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood

Carbon Combines with haemoglobin inside red blood cells
monoxide

Tar Causes lung cancer and other kinds of cancer

Cause cancer

Nicotine Addictive drug

Makes blood vessels get narrower

Particulates Damage the lung’s surfaces

Get into lungs and damage the cells
Nose/mouth -- windpipe-- bronchi-- lungs
