Select one or more of the following:

  • 10mm

Explanation

Question 8 of 13

1

The red blood cell is an example of a specialised animal cell. How is specialised to carry oxygen to respiring tissues?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Large surface area to volume ratio because of its biconcave shape

  • No organelles so it can carry lots of haemoglobin

  • Red in colour to increase the rate of diffusion

  • Small and flexible to fit into the smallest capillaries

Explanation

Question 9 of 13

1

The root hair cells of plants are specialised cells. Which of the following describes their adaptation to function?

Select one or more of the following:

  • Long and thin to help absorb water from between fine soil particles

  • Large surface area to volume ratio to increase rate of diffusion of water into the cell

  • Have stomata which open and close to control movement of gases in and out

Explanation

Question 10 of 13

1

Define diffusion

Select one or more of the following:

  • Random movement of molecules from a low to a high concentration

  • Random movement of molecules from a high to low concentration

  • Random movement of molecules against a concentration gradient

Explanation

Question 11 of 13

1

How does oxygen get into a cell?

Select one or more of the following:

  • It diffuses across the cell membrane

  • The cell breathes it in from the atmosphere

  • It moves by osmosis across the cell membrane

Explanation

Question 12 of 13

1

Which of the following allows diffusion to happen more quickly?

Select one or more of the following:

  • A large diffusion distance

  • A good blood supply

  • A steep concentration gradient

  • A large surface area

Explanation

Question 13 of 13

1

Select one or more of the following:

  • The diaphragm contracts and moves down

  • The intercostal muscles contract

  • The rib cage moves down and in
