Q

why do multicellular organisms, need exchange surfaces and a transport system

A

The surface area: volume ratio is too small to be able to rely on diffusion

Q

how are red blood cells adapted to their function?

A

they contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen, they have a biconcave shape and therefore a large surface area, they don’t have a nucleus so this so has more space for the haemoglobin to transport more oxygen

Q

what are the function of platelets?

A

they cause blood to clot when a blood vessel has been damage this blocks, the wound and stops pathogens from entering the blood

25
name the three types of blood vessels
arteries, veins and capillaries
26
what is the function of arteries?
arteries carry blood away from the heart
27
how are arteries adapted to their function?
they have a thick wall of muscle and elastic fibres
28
what is the function of a veins
veins, carry blood back to the heart
29
how are veins adapted to their function?
they have a large space to allow blood to flow easily. They have forced to stop blood flowing backwards.
30
which type of blood vessels has the thickest walls?
arteries
31
which type of blood vessel has the thinnest walls?
Capillaries
32
what is the function of capillaries?
The exchange minerals, such as oxygen and glucose and carbon dioxide with body tissues
33
how are capillaries adapted to their function?
The walls are only one cell thick
34
name the four chambers of the hear in order from the lungs
left atrium, common left ventricle right atrium right ventricle
35
which blood vessel carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
pulmonary vain
36
which blood vessel carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the body
aorta
37
which blood vessel brings deoxygenated blood from the body to the heart
vena cava
38
which blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
pulmonary artery
39
which ventricle wall is thicker, and why
put the left as it pushes blood all around the body
40
what do the valves in the hot day?
make the blood flow in the right direction
41
what is cellular respiration?
an exothermic reaction, which occurs continuously in living cells to release energy for metabolic processes
42
what are two types of respiration?
aerobic and anaerobic
43
where does aerobic respiration mostly occur?
mitochondria in cells
44
what is the main source of energy for cells
aerobic respiration
45
what is the word equation for aerobic respiration?
glucose + oxygen—> carbon dioxide + water
46
when does anaerobic respiration take place?
when there is not enough oxygen
47
what is anaerobic respiration?
incomplete breakdown of glucose to release energy
48
what is the word equation for anaerobic respiration?
glucose —> lactic acid
49
which type of respiration releases more energy
aerobic
50
what is their energy from respiration used for?
to build larger molecules, to enable muscle contraction, to maintain body temperatures
51
what is a respirometer used to investigate
rates of respiration
52
what is the function of soda lime in the respirometer
it absorbs carbon dioxide
53
how could a respirometer did used to measure the rate of respiration
Measure the distance that the colour liquid moves in a particular time
54
why use the coloured liquid to move in the respirimeter
oxygen is absorbed by the seat of the volume of the air in the container as a reduced
55
what is heart rate measured in?
The number of beats per minute
56
how can the heart rate be measured?
by taking your pulse at the rest
57
what happens to the rate of reaction during exercise?
it increases
58
what is the equation linking stroke volume, heart rate in cardiac out put
cardiac output= stroke volume x heart rate
59
what is stroke volume?
The volume of blood pumped by the heart in 1 beat
