    Notes I made from the video with a bit of detail..
    The long passage based question to be done last as you will have more time at the end to actually read it properly. Majority of times, the answer/s is from your own knowledge, if any calculation based question/s come up, data can be obtained from the passage. Underline any information that you feel is of importance and could help in building and framing your answer/s
    Protein synthesis
    Transcription
    - Occurs in the nucleus
    - Part of the DNA unwinds
    - Bases are exposed along the template strand
    - Network forms upon which mRNA molecule forms
    - Building blocks of mRNA: RNA nucleotides
    - RNA nucleotides pair up with template strand bases according to the complementary base pairing rule
    - mRNA strand forms, leaves nucleus
    Translation
    - Takes place in cytoplasm
    - Ribosome moves along with the mRNA strand
    - mRNA attaches to the ribosome
    - tRNA brings amino acids to the ribosome
    - mRNA codon binds with the complementary anticodon on the tRNA producing an amino acid chain and forms polypeptide bonds
    - At the end of the chain there will be a stop codon that ends translation
    Mutation
    - Random rare change in a DNA
    If addition/deletion of base
    - Different sequence of amino acid brought to the ribosome
    - Give a different protein with a different phenotype
    Substitution
    - May not be a change in amino acid sequence
    - May have the same protein with the same phenotype
    Effect of pH on enzyme activity
    Amylase digests starch -> glucose
    Iodine blue black in the presence of starch
    Orange in the presence of glucose
    Benedicts blue
    Brick red in the presence of glucose
    Nitrogen cycle
    - Nitrates absorbed by root hair cells by active transport from an area of low concentration -> high concentration against the - concentration and uses energy from ATP
    - Plants use the nitrates to make proteins (amino acids) + growth (assimilation)
    - Plants eaten by animals (assimilation)
    - Animal and plants die and they are decayed by decomposers (fungi or bacteria) and this converts nitrates -> ammonia
    - Nitrifying bacteria converts ammonium ions -> nitrites then nitrates
    - Denitrifying bacteria converts nitrates -> nitrogen gas
    - Nitrogen fixing bacteria found in root nodules converts the nitrogen gas -> nitrates. Nitrogen fixation happens with lightning as well.
    Kidney
    Order of the different parts of the nephron
    Glomerulus -> Bowman's capsule -> PCT -> Loop of Henle -> DCT -> Collecting duct
    Excretion of urea
    - Ultrafiltration
    - Occurs in glomerulus
    - ions , water, glucose, and urea enters the bowman’s capsule
    - Selective reabsorption takes place in PCT where glucose is reabsorbed back into the blood by active transport
    - Presence of proteins in urine (due to damage to bowman’s capsule)
    - Proteins are too large to enter.
    - Presence of glucose (PCT not working)
    Osmoregulation
    - Osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detects low water level
    - Stimulates pituitary gland to release ADH
    - This ADH acts on the walls of the collecting duct, making them more permeable so more water is reabsorbed back into the blood
    - Urine is less in volume and more concentrated and yellow
    FSH and LH from pituitary gland
    FSH
    - matures the egg
    - stimulates follicle growth
    - stimulates egg development
    - stimulates sperm production in males
    - stimulates oestrogen secretion
    LH
    - stimulates ovulation (egg release) (peaks)
    - stimulates production of testosterone
    - stimulates development of corpus luteum
    - Stimulates testosterone production in males
