1What is the correct definition of excretion?
- ARemoval of metabolic waste
- BRemoval of undigested food
- CRemoval of waste via defaecation
- DRemoval of amine groups from amino acids
- ERemoval of your head from your shoulders
2What is metabolic waste?
- AUndigested food
- BToxic compounds produced by bacteria
- CWaste substances that may be toxic or are produced in excess by cells
- DThe products of cellular reactions
- EYour life
3Why is carbon dioxide toxic? (Choose more than one answer)
- AIt is carried in the blood as hydrogencarbonate ions. These are toxic.
- BIt is carried in the blood as hydrogencarbonate ions. These dissociate to form hydrogen in red blood cells which competes with oxygen and combines with haemoglobin.
- CIt combines directly with haemoglobin and lowers its affinity for oxygen.
- DIt is carried in the blood and lowers its pH.
- EIt dissolves in the blood plasma and combines with water to give carbonic acid, which dissociates to give hydrogen ions, which lower the pH of the blood.
- FIt can enter cells and inhibit respiration.
- GIt can cause photorespiration.
4What is the process of deamination?
- Aammonia + carbon dioxide --> urea + water
- Bamino acid + oxygen --> keto acid + ammonia
- Camino acid + water --> keto acid + oxygen
- Damino acid + carbon dioxide --> urea + water
- Eamino acid + carbon dioxide --> urea + oxygen
- Famino acid + oxygen --> keto acid + water
5What is the equation for the formation of urea?
- Aammonia + carbon dioxide --> urea + water
- Bamino acid + oxygen --> keto acid + ammonia
- Camino acid + carbon dioxide --> urea + water
- Dketo acid + carbon dioxide --> urea + ammonia
- Eammonia + oxygen --> urea + carbon dioxide
6Which of these are functions of the liver? (Choose more than one answer)

7What are Kupffer cells?
- ALiver cells involved in metabolic processes such as protein synthesis, detoxification, etc

9What is the process of detoxification of alcohol?
- AEthanol --> Ethanal --> Ethanoic Acid --> Acetyl Coenzyme A

13Which of the following are adaptations that aid ultrafiltration?
- Apores in the endothelium of capillaries
- Bpores in the membrane of the Bowman's capsule
- Ca basement membrane made out of a matrix of collagen fibres to filter out large particles
- Dpodocytes in the Bowman's capsule being arranged in finger like projections to allow molecules to pass
- Ethe afferent arteriole narrowing into the glomerulus to increase hydrostatic pressure
- Fthe efferent arteriole wraps around the PCT so any products left in the blood can diffuse into the PCT
