Q

What adaptations do the surfaces that substances move through have?

A

Thin- so particles don’t need to diffuse very far
Large surface are-so there is more room for particles to diffuse

Q

How does blood from the heart and the lungs travel through the heart?

A

Blood from most of the body enters through the vena cava to the right atrium
Blood from the lungs enters the left atrium through the pulmonary vein
When these chambers are full, the muscles around them contract, pushing the blood into the ventricles
Muscles in the ventricle walls then contract, forcing blood out the heart
Muscles in the atria walls relax and the chambers refill with blood

Q

Q

What is the stroke volume and what is it measured in?

A

The volume of blood pushed into the aorta in each beat (litres)

17
Q

What is the cardiac output and what is it measured in?

A

The volume of blood pushed into the aorta every minute (litres/min)

18
Q

What is the formula for cardiac output?

A

Cardiac output(litres/min) = stroke volume (litres/beat) x heart rate (beats/min)

19
Q

What does regular exercise do to the heart?

A

It increases the strength of heart muscles and ventricle size

This means fitter people have bigger stroke volumes and their hearts can beat more slowly to achieve same cardiac output as less a fit person

20
Q

What is cellular respiration?

A

A series of chemical reactions which release energy from glucose

21
Q

Is respiration endothermic or exothermic and why?

A

Exothermic as some energy is transferred out of cells by heating

22
Q

What is the formula of aerobic respiration?

A

Glucose + oxygen ~> carbon dioxide + water

23
Q

Where does aerobic respiration take place?

A

Mitochondria of cells

24
Q

What happens during exercise?

A

Muscles need more energy
Rate of aerobic respiration increases
Muscles cells take more oxygen and glucose from the blood
Heart beats faster to get more blood to muscle cells
Breath faster and deeper to increase amount of oxygen diffusing into the blood in lungs and excrete more carbon dioxide

25
Q

What is the equation of anaerobic respiration?

A

Glucose ~> lactic acid

26
Q

Why does very strenuous exercise result in a significant increase in anaerobic respiration?

A

Oxygen is used up faster than it is replaces. Anaerobic respiration does not require oxygen and produces lactic acid.

27
Q

What are the negatives of anaerobic respiration over aerobic respiration?

A

Aerobic respiration releases more energy from glucose

Anaerobic respiration causes muscles to tire quickly

28
Q

What are the positives of anaerobic respiration over aerobic respiration?

A

Can release bursts of energy without needing a sudden increase in oxygen supply

29
Q

Why can heart and breathing rates remain high after exercise?

A

Extra oxygen is needed to replace the oxygen lost from blood and muscles

Extra oxygen is also needed to release extra energy required to get rid of lactic acid

30
Q

What effect does temperature have on respiration?

A

The higher the temperature the higher the rate of respiration
