Q

What is osmosis and what happens during it?

A

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane. The water particles move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration

Q

What is active transport and what happens during it?

A

Active transport is the movement of molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. Against the concentration gradient

Q

Why does active transport require energy?

A

Q

Which muscles contract when you breathe?

A

The intercostal muscles

16
Q

Ventilation occurs due to changes of pressure inside the chest

A

Truu

17
Q

3 reasons why someone may find it hard to breathe:

A
  1. If the alveoli are damaged, the surface area for gaseous exchange is reduced.
  2. If the tubes leading to the lungs are narrowed, less air can be moved through them
  3. If the person is paralysed, the muscles on the ribcage will not work
18
Q

What are the two artificial breathing aids?

A
  1. The iron lung

2. Positive pressure aids

19
Q

What does soluble mean?

A

Capable of being dissolved

20
Q

Always relate the features of an exchange surface to its function

A

Truu

21
Q

2 features of villi which make them efficient exchange surfaces:

A
  1. The walls of the vili are very thing

2. There are many capillaries close to the wall

22
Q

What are the steps to exchange in the gut?

A

The food we eat is digested in the gut into small, soluble molecules. In the small intestine these solutes are absorbed into the blood. The villi lines the inner wall of the small intestine, its large surface area increases absorption. Soluble products can be absorbed through the vili by either diffusion or active transport

23
Q

What are the processes to exchange is plants?

A

Gases diffuse through holes called stomata. the size of the stomata is controlled by the guard cells.

24
Q

What cell increases the surface area of the roots?

A

Root hair cell

25
Q

Why do leaves have stomata?

A

To allow gasses to diffuse in and out of the leaf

26
Q

Leaves are flat and thin so gases dont need to diffuse very far

A

Truu

27
Q

What is transpiration?

A

Plants take up water through the roots. The water passes through the plant to the leaves. The water evaporates in the leaves and the water vapour diffuses through the stomata.

28
Q

The movement of water throughout the plant is called the *** ****

A

Transpiration stream

29
Q

Evaporation is more rapid in hot, dry, windy or bright conditions

A

Truu

30
Q

What cells close to prevent excessive water loss?

A

Guard cells
