Question 1

Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable.

Briefly explain why the research is described in this way (2 marks)

Answer 1

Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable, because it produces consistent results, whether by the same or different researchers

Question 2

Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable.

Briefly explain why the research is described in this way (2 marks).
Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable, because it produces consistent results, whether by the same or different researchers.
What can the results also be argued to be?

Answer 2

The results can also be argued to be internally reliable

Question 3

Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable.

Briefly explain why the research is described in this way (2 marks).
Research on biological structures is argued to be reliable, because it produces consistent results, whether by the same or different researchers.
The results can also be argued to be internally reliable, why?

Answer 3

The results can also be argued to be internally reliable, because they are objective and not subjective

Question 4

Briefly explain one function of the endocrine system (2 marks)

Answer 4

One function of the endocrine system is to secrete the hormones which are required to regulate many bodily functions

Question 5

Briefly explain one function of the endocrine system (2 marks).
One function of the endocrine system is to secrete the hormones which are required to regulate many bodily functions.
Example

Answer 5

For example, the pituitary gland causes other glands to secrete their hormones or directly produces effects, like causing the breasts to lactate
