12What applies to the pupil?
- AIt is a nerve
- BThe pupil is a muscle
- CThe pupil is coloured
- DIt controls how much light is let into the eye

- BThe cornea is a protective and transparent layer at the forefront of the eye which refracts the light upon entry.
- CThe cornea is a coloured layer at the forefront of the eye which refracts the light upon entry.
14The [blank_start]lens[blank_end] is behind the cornea, pupil, and iris which focuses the light onto the [blank_start]retina.[blank_end]

- BFalse
17[blank_start]Myopia[blank_end] is short-sightedness. It is caused when the [blank_start]focal point[blank_end] of vision is too short, and the eye is too long. It is cured by a [blank_start]concave[blank_end] lens, as it pushes the focal point back.

- Bfocal point
- Cconcave
18In the [blank_start]colour spectrum[blank_end] there is , red, orange, yellow, green, blue, [blank_start]indigo and violet[blank_end].

22On a [blank_start]transverse[blank_end] wave, the [blank_start]crest[blank_end] is the highest point and the [blank_start]trough[blank_end] is the lowest point. The wave is situated on a midpoint or 0 line, which is the position that would be assumed if there was [blank_start]no[blank_end] disturbance. The wavelength is the [blank_start]distance[blank_end] between crests or troughs. Amplitude controls [blank_start]volume[blank_end] of a sound or [blank_start]brightness[blank_end] of a light, it is the height above the midpoint. Frequency is the amount of waves that pass through any given point in one second, controlling the colour of light (faster= violet, slower=red), or the [blank_start]pitch[blank_end] of a sound.

23The electromagnetic spectrum does not include:
- AMacrowaves: electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from about one meter to one millimeter. Can only be seen under certain technology.
- BGamma rays: most powerful ray which naturally exists in the universe. Has a low frequency, and short wavelength, hence its immense speed. Visible, and damaging to the human eye.
- CInfrared: less damaging than visible light, but more damaging than microwaves. They have a mild wavelength and mild frequency. Can be visible, but only in cool, dark , situations.
- DRadiowave: the least damaging naturally existing ray of light. It has a long wavelength and frequency and is very slow. 99% of the time, invisible.
24The endocrine system:
- AHas glands: including the pancreas, pituitary gland, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pineal, ovaries, and testes.
- BDoes not help with homeostaisis

30The reflex arc uses a [blank_start]stimulus,[blank_end] receptor, sensory neuron, i[blank_start]nterneuron[blank_end], motor neuron, effector, and response. For example, if you pricked your finger, the stimulus would be a pin, the receptor would be the nerves in the tips of your fingers, the sensory neuron carries the electrical impulses to an interneuron in the [blank_start]spinal[blank_end] chord which then goes to the motor neuron, then the hand muscles as the effector, with the response being to move the hand away.
- Aobject
- Bstimulus,
- Cthing
- Dnsideneuron
- Enterneuron
- Fbrain
- Gt4
- Hspinal
31How do we know that this is a reflex arc and not an involuntary action?

- Bslower response
- Crequires a stimulus
- Dslow to adapt
32What are some hormones produced in the endocrine system, with their glands and functions?
- AInsulin/Glucagon- Pituitary gland: Glucagon breaks down glycogen to glucose in the liver. Insulin enables blood glucose to enter cells, where they use it to produce energy.
- BInsulin/Glucagon- Pancreas: Glucagon breaks down glycogen to glucose in the liver. Insulin enables blood glucose to enter cells, where they use it to produce energy.
- CTestosterone- Ovaries: Gives bone strength, and helps with reproduction.
- DMelatonin- Pineal Glands: helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep.
- EAdrenaline- Parathyroid: makes your heart beat faster and your lungs breathe more efficiently.
33Hormones are very specific and as chemical messengers will not work unless they reach their target cell through blood.
- ATrue
- BFalse
34[blank_start]Homeostasis[blank_end] is the process of maintaining a constant and stable internal environment. It uses the [blank_start]negative[blank_end] feedback system which is a stimulus, receptor, control, and response to work efficiently. For example, if the person is too hot, their body temp is the stimulus, the [blank_start]receptor[blank_end] is the skin and brain, the control is the thermoregulating parts of the brain, the response is the blood rushes to skin. It uses the [blank_start]nervous[blank_end] and endocrine system to work effectively.
- AHomeostasis
- Bnegative
- Creceptor
- Dnervous
35The nervous system is chemical, slow, and long lasting. The endocrine system is electrical, fact, and slow lasting.
- ATrue
- BFalse
36What is a pathogen?

38The [blank_start]first[blank_end] line of defence is the [blank_start]chemical[blank_end] and physical barriers. The aim is to prevent [blank_start]entry[blank_end] into the body. Examples of the first line of defence include skin, hair, mucus, saliva, low ph acid in stomach.

- ATrue
- BFalse
49An ion is an atom or group of atoms with a [blank_start]positive[blank_end] or negative charge. Ions form when atoms [blank_start]lose[blank_end] or gain electrons to obtain a [blank_start]full[blank_end] outer shell:
• metal atoms lose electrons to form [blank_start]positively[blank_end] charged ions (cations)
non-metal atoms gain electrons to form [blank_start]negatively[blank_end] charged ions (anions)- Apositive
