Q

What is the function of the hydrochloric acid in the stomach?

A

To help destroy bacteria and to make the correct pH for the enzyme protease to work effectively.

17
Q

What are the three main digestive enzymes, what do they break down and which products are formed as a result?

A

Protease-Protein-Amino Acids.
Amylase-Starch-Glucose.
Lipase-Lipids and Fats-Fatty acids and glycerol.

18
Q

What word equation does represent aerobic respiration?

A

Oxygen and glucose— H20+CO2+Energy.

19
Q

Where does aerobic respiration take place?

A

Mitochondria in all cells of the body.

20
Q

List the structures in order that oxygen from the air travels through to get into the blood.

A

Mouth and nasal passages,
Trachea,
Bronchi,
Lungs (Bronchioles, then alveoli the blood.)

21
Q

What is the link between volume and pressure?

A

The greater the volume, the smaller the pressure. The smaller the volume the greater the pressure.

22
Q

What word equation represents anaerobic respiration?

A

Glucose—Lactic Acid and Energy.

23
Q

How are the alveoli adapted for gas exchange?

A

Large surface area,
Good blood supply.
Thin walls,
Moist Lining.

24
Q

What is the function of the red blood cells?

A

The main job of red blood cells is to transport oxygen (by reacting the oxygen with haemoglobin in the red blood cells to form oxyhaemoglobin) from the lungs to all cells in our body so respiration can take place.

25
Q

What is the function of the white blood cells?

A

The main job of the white blood cells is to provide an immune system to defend against pathogens carrying out phagocytosis, making antibodies and antitoxins.

A

They help the blood clot.
