Frage 1

Frage
What is homeostasis?
Antworten
  • The maintenance of a constant internal environment
  • The maintenance of a person's body (internal and external)

Frage 2

Frage
What are the things that need to be controlled in our body?
Antworten
  • Body temperature
  • Water content
  • Ion content
  • Blood sugar levels
  • CO2
  • Urea
  • Proteins
  • Sweating

Frage 3

Frage
What is the temperature at which enzymes work best?
Antworten
  • 20oC
  • 27oC
  • 30oC
  • 37oC

Frage 4

Frage
Why is it important to control our body's water content?
Antworten
  • Too much water could move into or out of our cells which will damage the cells.
  • Too much water could move into the cells making us over-hydrated and the cells won't work as well.
  • Not enough water could move into the cells meaning that they will get dehydrated and won't work as well.

Frage 5

Frage
If the ion (or water) content of the body is wrong, it could upset the balance between ion and water. Why is this?
Antworten
  • Too much/too little water is drawn in by osmosis > damages the cells
  • Too much/too little water is drawn in by diffusion > damages the cells
  • Too much/too little water is drawn in by active transport > damages the cells

Frage 6

Frage
What are the two waste products of our body that need to be controlled?
Antworten
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Urea
  • Carbon Monoxide
  • Urine

Frage 7

Frage
How is CO2 removed from the body?
Antworten
  • By the lungs
  • By the liver
  • By the windpipe

Frage 8

Frage
Where does urea come from?
Antworten
  • The reactions from the conversion of excess amino acids to fats and carbohydrates
  • The excess products from our food that we consume

Frage 9

Frage
Urea is made from excess amino acids and is made in the liver
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 10

Frage
Urea is not poisonous and is released into the bloodstream by the kidney
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 11

Frage
What organ filters the blood?
Antworten
  • Liver
  • Small intestine
  • Large intestine
  • Kidney
  • Lungs

Frage 12

Frage
How is urea removed from the body?
Antworten
  • Filtered from the blood by the kidneys > temporarily stored in the bladder > excreted from the body in urine
  • Filtered from the blood by the liver > temporarily stored in the small intestine then to the large intestine > excreted through faeces

Frage 13

Frage
How do ions enter the blood?
Antworten
  • Taken in by what we drink and then absorbed into the blood
  • Taken in by the food we eat and then absorbed into the blood
  • Taken in by what we eat and drink and then absorbed into the blood

Frage 14

Frage
Excess ions are removed by the liver
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 15

Frage
How are some ions also lost?
Antworten
  • Sweating
  • Breathing
  • Farting

Frage 16

Frage
The kidneys also adjust the water content of the blood to keep it controlled
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 17

Frage
Water is taken into our body as food and drink. How is it lost?
Antworten
  • Sweating
  • Breathing out
  • Urinating
  • In faeces
  • Breathing in

Frage 18

Frage
We can control how much water is lost through breathing
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 19

Frage
We can control our water content through how much is consumed, sweated out and the amount that is excreted by kidneys in urine
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 20

Frage
When our body gets too hot...
Antworten
  • Hairs lie flat
  • Hairs stand up (to trap insulating layer of air)
  • Sweat is produced, evaporating heat from the body
  • No sweat is produced
  • Blood vessels supplying the skin dilate
  • Blood vessels supplying the skin constrict
  • Our muscles constrict (shivering)

Frage 21

Frage
When our body gets too cold...
Antworten
  • Hairs lie flat
  • Hairs stand up (to trap insulating layer of air)
  • Sweat is produced, evaporating heat from the body
  • No sweat is produced
  • Blood vessels supplying the skin dilate
  • Blood vessels supplying the skin constrict
  • Our muscles constrict (shivering)

Frage 22

Frage
On a cold day...
Antworten
  • We sweat and have more urine (pale coloured and dilute)
  • We sweat and have less urine (dark coloured and concentrated)
  • We don't sweat and have more urine (pale coloured and dilute)
  • We don't sweat and have less urine (dark coloured and concentrated)

Frage 23

Frage
On a hot day...
Antworten
  • We sweat and have more urine (pale coloured and dilute)
  • We sweat and have less urine (dark coloured and concentrated)
  • We don't sweat and have more urine (pale coloured and dilute)
  • We don't sweat and have less urine (dark coloured and concentrated)

Frage 24

Antworten
  • True
  • False
