1What is the main purpose of the heart and the circulatory system?
- APrimarily used for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between air we breathe and blood
- BTo move substances around the body
- CTo collect carbon dioxide waste materials and fluids for return to the veins.
2Diffusion is the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
- ATrue
- BFalse
3When it comes to movement of substances around the body, what is the problem for humans and mammals?
- AThey are smaller and so cannot have enough space for movement to take place
- BThey only have one cell that is used to function their entire being
- CThey have problems functioning properly
- DThey are too large for diffusion to move substances around their bodies quickly enough
4 Multicellular organisms deal with their difficulty in moving substances around the body because they usually have blood to carry vital substances around their bodies and a heart to pump it around
- ATrue
- BFalse
5Difference between open and closed circulatory systems?
- AIn closed systems: Simple heart pumps blood into the cavities but returns the blood back to the heart, and then to the body
In open systems: The heart pumps blood around the body and substances diffuse between the organs and cells - BIn closed systems: blood is enclosed within tubes. the blood is forced along fairly narrow channels instead of flowing into large cavities
In open systems: simple heart pumps blood out into cavities surrounding the animal’s organs. Substances can diffuse between the blood and cells. When the heart muscle relaxes, blood is drawn from the cavity back into the heart, through small valved openings along its length. - CIn closed systems: The blood flows in the body organs which uses enclosed tubes to send it back to the heart
In open systems: The heart pumps the blood in cavaties and then blood is drawn from cavity back into the heart
- AIn closed systems: Simple heart pumps blood into the cavities but returns the blood back to the heart, and then to the body
6Closed circulatory systems are much slower because they are larger and need less pressure to move substances
- ATrue
- BFalse
7In a human the blood flows through the heart once for each complete circuit of the body.
- ATrue
- BFalse
8Why do mammals and birds have higher metabolic rates?
- AThe oxygen and food substances required for metabolic processes can be delivered more rapidly to cells in mammals and birds
- BThere are extremely large numbers of capillaries which ensure oxygen is exchanged quicker
- CLonger time for the blood to circulate around their body
- DOrgans diffuse substances quicker to the body , then the heart accepts quicker and then pump blood around.

- BFalse

12 What is the function of a valve?
- ATo prevent the blood from flowing in the arteries
- BTo prevent the entrance of waste in the blood
- CTo ensure that blood flows only in one direction
- DTo ensure that the heomoglobin in the blood has enough oxygen

17Why is it difficult for lipids to be transported by transport mediums in the body?
- ALipids have no ionic properties
- BLipids are hydrophobic
- CLipids are very soluble
- DLipids have strong covalent bonds
18Lipids can be transported around the body by binding with amino acids to form lipoproteins which can then be transported by transport mediums
- ATrue
- BFalse
19The specifi c heat capacity of water, the amount of energy in joules required to raise the temperature of 1 cm3 (1 g) of water by 10 ºC, is very high
- ATrue
- BFalse
