Q

What are the differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration ?

A

Aerobic respiration:
- uses oxygen
- best way to transfer energy from glucose
- produces lots of ATP
- type of respiration your using most of the time.
Anaerobic respiration:
- When you do vigorous exercise
- When body can’t supply enough oxygen to your muscles

for anaerobic respiration

  • Doesn’t use oxygen
  • not the best way to transfer energy from glucose
  • releases much less energy
  • glucose is only partially broken down
  • makes lactic acid

Q

What happens when plants respire anaerobically ?

A

Plants can respire without oxygen, but they produce ethanol and carbon dioxide instead of lactic acids

Q

What is an experiment to investigate the evolution of carbon dioxide from respirating seeds ?

A
  • Crush 10 germinating peas
  • Put peas into a boiling tube
  • have the boiling tube set up with a delivery tube going from the boiling tube to a tube with bicarbonate indicator
    (if it bubbles then then the peas are making carbon dioxide)

Q

What is an experiment to investigate the evolution of heat from respirating seeds ?

A
  • Have 2 flasks
  • Set up both flasks with a thermometer going through the middle of them and cotton wool on either side of it at the top
  • have peas inside both flasks one with boiled peas and one with normal room temperature peas

Q

In the experiment when experimenting with the heat of seeds, what will be the difference in results from flask A and B ?

A

Flask A will end up making more heat than flask B because the peas in flask B were boiled so their cells became denatured and they can’t respire

Q

What is the role of the intercostal muscles and diaphragm when breathing in ?

A

The intercostal muscles contract to move the ribs up and outwards.
The diaphragm contracts and moves down
The volume inside the chest increases and this causes the air to rush into the lungs and inflate.

Q

What is the role of the intercostal muscles and diaphragm when breathing out ?

A

The intercostal muscles relax to move the ribs down and inwards
The diaphragm relaxes and moves up
The volume inside the chest decreases and the air rushes out and the lungs deflate.

Q

What 3 ways are the alveoli adapted for gas exchange ?

A
  • Each alveolus is folded which gives a large surface area
  • The wall of the alveolus are only one cell thick which is short for fast diffusion
  • The lining of the alveolus is moist, gases can dissolve this speeds up diffusion

Q

How are the alveoli adapted for gas exchange by diffusion from blood to capillaries ?

A

Each alveolus is surrounded by blood Capillaries to transport oxygen

Q

How are the alveoli adapted for gas exchange by diffusion by air in the lungs ?

A

in each lung there are millions of alveoli for large surface area

17
Q

What are the 6 effects of smoking on the lungs ?

A
  • destroys lung tissue
  • narrows airways
  • tar builds up inside lungs
  • alveoli in lungs shrink and get destroyed
  • chemicals in in cigarette smoke damage cilia (this means mucus and bacteria cannot be moved out of lungs)
  • alveoli gets damaged this makes their walls thicker and reduces surface area
18
Q

What are the 7 effects of smoking in the circulatory system ?

A
  • raised blood pressure and heart rate
  • constriction (tightening) of blood vessels in the skin, resulting in a drop in skin temperature
  • less oxygen carried by the blood during exercise
  • ‘stickier’ blood, which is more prone to clotting
  • damage to the lining of the arteries, which is thought to be a contributing factor to atherosclerosis (the build-up of fatty deposits on the artery walls)
  • reduced blood flow to extremities (fingers and toes)
  • increased risk of stroke and heart attack due to blockages of the blood supply
19
Q

How can smoking effect your chances of getting coronary heart disease and why ?

A

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits (atheroma) on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries).
Nicotine and carbon monoxide (from the smoke) put a strain on the heart by making it work faster. They also increase your risk of blood clots

20
Q

What is an experiment to investigate the breathing in humans, including the release of carbon dioxide and the effect of exercise ?

A
  • time 1 minute and measure breathing rate before exercise
  • time 1 minute and measure breathing rate after exercise
  • Then work out breathing rate difference
21
Q

How would find out if carbon dioxide by using limewater ?

A

Get someone to blow into a straw which is in the limewater if the limewater goes cloudy then carbon dioxide is present

22
Q

Why can simple unicellular organisms rely on diffusion for movement of substances in and out of he cell ?

A

Because they have very thin cell walls so it is a short distance for diffusion

23
Q

Why do multicellular organisms need a transport system ?

A

Because they have a long distance to diffuse

24
Q

How does the heart rate change during exercise and under the influence of adrenaline ?

A

It increases

25
Q

what 5 factors increase your chances of getting coronary heart disease ?

A
  • obesity
  • smoking
  • high blood cholesterol level
  • high blood pressure
  • if it runs in the family
26
Q

Where are the ribs ?

A

bones covering lungs etc

27
Q

Where are the intercostal muscles ?

A

muscle in between the rib bones

28
Q

Where is the diaphragm ?

A

muscle under the ribcage

29
Q

Where is the trachea ?

A

windpipe

30
Q

Where is the bronchi ?

A

pipe by the bottom of the heart

31
Q

Where is the bronchioles ?

A

tubes branching off bronchi

32
Q

Where is the alveoli ?

A

tiny air sacs at each end of bronchiole

33
Q

where is the pleural membrane ?

A

line of membrane under the ribs and intercostal muscles
