1FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is produced by the...
- Apituitary gland
- Bovaries
- Clungs
2In which food chain will the greatest proportion of biomass and energy of the plants be passed to humans?
- Aplants --> sheep --> human
- Bplants --> grasshoppers --> frogs --> trout --> human
- Cplants --> human
3Which of the following adaptations would a plant in a hot, dry climate NOT have?
- ADecreased surface area
- BLeaves are flat and wide (large surface area) to try and collect as much water as possible
- CWidespread roots to absorb more water
- DFleshy, thick stem to absorb more water
- EThick waxy layer to reduce evaporation, water loss and transpiration
- FFewer stomata to reduce evaporation, water loss and transpiration
4A vaccine prevents infection as it contains dead pathogens which are harmless but still have antigens. White blood cells in your body reproduce rapidly upon re-infection. These antibodies kill pathogens.
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
5A bird makes a nest with air vents. The bird opens and closes the air vents of the nest at different times of the day.
Suggest why the bird opens and closes the air vents.
(SELECT THREE)- AOpening the vents allows CO2 in
- BMicro-organisms and eggs need oxygen
- COpening allows release of CO2 from respiration of microorganisms
- DOpening allows heat to come to the eggs
- EClosing retains moisture
- FOpening allows the eggs to get used to the sounds of their surroundings
- GOpening allows the bird to see her eggs
6The sex of a megapode bird depends on the temperature at which the egg was kept.
Suggest why megapode birds control the temperature of their nests.- AThe megapode prefers girls
- BMaintains sex balance
7Which of the following is NOT an adaptation an animal living in hot, dry climates (e.g camel) would have?
- ALong eyelashes to keep dust out of their eyes
- BNocturnal so they reduce sweat loss as they face the heat of the day for fewer hours
- CReduced amount of body fat which reduces insulating layer
- DSmall feet so there is a smaller surface to get burned by the hot ground
8What does a vaccine contain?
- AAntigens
- BInactive pathogens
- CWhite blood cells to fight pathogens
- DPlatelets
9Why would an animal be adapted to have large ears?
- AIt lives in cold climates so larger ears would mean a larger surface area to have thick fur on, so the animal could trap more hot air to keep it warm.
- BIt lives in hot climates so larger ears would mean a larger surface area : volume ratio so it could lose more heat.
10Apart from measles, which two other diseases does the MMR vaccine protect against? (SELECT TWO)
- ARubella
- BMeasles
- CEbola
- DFlu
- EMumps
- FMenopause
11Measles is a virus.
Explain why antibiotics cannot be used to treat measles.- AWhen antibiotics and measels combine, they poison you.
- BAntibiotics can't kill viruses because viruses have a hard outer layer which antibiotics aren't strong enough to penetrate.
- CAntibiotics can't kill viruses because viruses live inside cells.
12Use Lamark's theory to explain how the elephant's trunk evolved. (It stretched)
- AThe mother stretched its offspring's trunks.
- BThe mother stretched her own trunk during her lifetime and reproduced
- CThe mother asked her offspring to develop longer trunks
13Suggest ONE advantage to the population as a whole of children having a second MMR vaccination.
- ALess chance of spread of disease
- BMakes vaccine more effective
- CMakes parents happy
14Why do antibiotics become less useful at treating an infection if the antibiotic is overused?
- ABacteria develops resistance.
- BBacteria develops immunity.
- CYour body overdoses on antibiotics and it can poison you.
15A bird collects dead plants and puts them in their nest. The dead plants in the nest decay. The decaying process helps keep the eggs warm for many weeks.
Suggest how.- AMicro-organisms respire which releases CO2 and heat
- BThe dead plants and eggs rub against each other, causing friction, which creates heat
- CWater inside the plants heats up and acts as a hot water bottle
16Oestrogen inhibits further production of FSH.
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
17What was thalidomide originally developed to treat?
- APoor sleeping/Insomia
- BMorning sickness
- CMenopause
- DCold/flu
18Using a recreational drug may cause the person to become dependent on the drug. What happens in the body to make someone dependent on a drug?
- AAddiction
- BChanges in chemical processes
- CHabit
- DDrug tastes nice
19Suggest ONE reason which would need to be considered before a legalisation of a drug.
- AHow high it makes you
- BThe long term effects
- CHow expensive it is
- DHow easy it is to mass produce
20In the 1800s, many scientists could not decide whether Lamark's theory or Darwin's theory of evolution was the right one.
Give TWO reasons why.- ANot enough evidence
- BMechanism of inheritance not known
- CLamark was not alive so they could not ask him questions
- DNeither of them had a background in science - Darwin was a gardener and Lamark was a musician.
21Plant shoots grow towards light.
This response is called...- Aphototropism
- Bgeotropism
- Cphotosynthesis
22What does metabolic rate mean?
- AThe speed at which chemical reactions take place in the body
- BThe rate at which you eat food
- CThe rate at which your body excretes waste
23Auxin is a hormone that DOESN'T control...
- Aphototropism
- Bgeotropism
- Crate of photosynthesis
24Which of the following health problems is NOT associated with obesity?
- ACancer
- BArthiritis
- CType 2 Diabetes
- DHigh blood pressure
- EHeart disease
25Sense organs detect...
- Astimuli
- Bpathogens
- Cforeign substances in the bloodstream
26FSH stimulates the mature egg to be released from the ovary.
- AVerdadeiro
- BFalso
27I have written out the 6 steps of a reflex reaction when a bee stings someone's finger.
However, I have added an extra false step.
Select the fake step.- A1. Bee stings finger
- B2. Stimulation of the pain receptor
- C3. Impulses travel along the sensory neurone
- D4. Impulses are passed along a relay neurone, via a synapse
- E5. Impulse travels to the mouth, which produces saliva
- F6. Impulses travel along a motor neurone
- G7. When impulses reach muscle, it contracts.
28The body carefully controls its internal environment. Which is NOT one of the internal conditions that are controlled?
