- The urinary system we have 2 kidney the right one and the left one. Each with it's own separate blood supply.
- Carrying out the process of excretion and filtration osmoregulation.
- From each kidney there is a tube that lead to the bladder this is called the ureter.
- The ureter carry urine from the kidney to the bladder.
- The urine is conducted to the outside of the body to be excreted down the structure called urethra which either travels down the vagina or down through the penis.

2.69 Urinary system
2.68b Osmoregulation
- The fluid which is surround these cells are isotonic.
- The amount of water going into these cells are equal and remain the same size.
- In the tissues it will be concentrated.
- It would be diluted and be Hypotonic.
- Through our kidney it would be water and salt.
2.68a Excretion
- Excretion in kidney. The molecule of urea.
- Urea contains nitrogen which is toxic to the body and cannot be stored.
- Amino acids are normally use for growth but the extra amino acids is excess must be remove there toxic.
- The blood serculated to the liver and the amino acids are converted around whihc is called urea.
- The kidney will filter the urea from the blood.
2.67b Human organs of Excretion
- Lungs would be waste from respiration is carbon dioxide.
- The kidney is responsoble for the excretion of excess water, molecule urea which is nitrogen waste from amino acids and salt.
- The skin would give out water, salt and urea.
- Salt and water is from sweat.
- 3 organs of excretions are lungs, kidney and skin.
2.67a Excretion in Plants
- The process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and water which gives off the gas is oxygen.
- The release of metoballic waste.
- Respiration is C6H12O6 +O2 which enzym is needed to make this process work.
- This would form ATP.
- The waste process is called Excretion.

3.34 Causes of mutation
- The mutation is the change in the base sequence.
- There are 2 examples of what cause the changes.
- First example is radiation, x-rays which is UV-B rays would cause diseases which is skin cancers.
- Second is chemicals tars which cause cancers.
- Chemical which cause mutations are called mutagens which cause cancers and they would be called "carcinogen".
3.33 Antibiotic resistance
- Staphylococcus aureus is skin infection and lung infection.
- People could use methecilline (antibiotic). Susceptible is kill by methecilline which is MSSA.
- Random mutation is when the antibiotic apply but the bacteria did not die.
- We would use resistance which is MRSA.
- It would increase more bacteria survives and its would be common.
3.32 Types of mutation
- The process of mutation produce new alleles.
- The impact of the new alleles is benificial,harmful and neutral (no effect).
- Benificial e.g. is enzyme.
- Harmful e.g. is non-functional enzyme.
- Neutral e.g. is environmental change.
3.31 Evolution
- The evolution is the change of the form of organisms and the change of frequency (how many) of alleles.
- Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution.
- There are 2 features. Random mutation which produces MRSA.
- Another feature is non-random selection due to the anti-biotic to surve MRSA and MSSA is select and kill.
- These two processes are natural selection process.
3.30 Mutations
- The form of the gene is called " Allele".
- The order of the chai is change bewteen the 2 diagram. So, it's different kind of proteins.
- Different effect on the phenotype.
- This process is called "Mutation".
- The changes in the base sequence of the chain.
3.29 Species Variation
- Variation is the differences that we could see in the phenotype and we could measure the differences.
- The individual phenotype is their genotype and environment. Variation of the population is there variation in genotype and variation in environment.
- The variation in population or species is the environmental variation.
- Example: home language.
- There are 3 scenarios.
