I did the aqa GCSE Biology specification, I achieved a 9 by using the flashcards to learn all the content as per the specification. I made all the cards myself and used them throughout my GCSE course I am going on to study A-level Biology
| Front | what are the air spaces |
| Back | in spongy mesophyll tissue increase the rate of diffusion of gases |
| Front | how does fungi produce sexually and asexually (4) |
| Back | 1. can release spores, which can become new fungi when they land in a suitable place2. spores can be produces asexually or sexually 3. asexually produced spores form fungi that are genetically identical to the parent fungus4. sexually produced spores introduce variation and are often produced in response to an unfavourable change in the environment- increasing the chance that the population will survive the change |
| Front | how does air flow affect transpiration rate |
| Back | better air flow= greater transpiration rate- if air flow poor, water vapour surrounds leaf + doesn't move away, shallow concentration gradient- slower diffusion - if good air flow, water vapour swept away which keeps steep concentration gradient= quicker diffusion |
