A. B. C. D. 2. A. B. C. D. 3.: Earth and Life Science 9 Worksheet 1 Respiratory System

This document contains 10 multiple choice questions about the respiratory system. The questions cover topics like: 1) the waste product of respiration that joins the bloodstream (carbon dioxide), 2) how the diaphragm facilitates lung expansion when it relaxes, 3) what is exhaled during deep breathing exercises (accumulated carbon dioxide in the alveoli), and 4) why climbing Mt. Everest is challenging (thin air results in less oxygen). The document also asks the reader to label parts of the respiratory system and describe their functions.

Earth and Life Science 9

Worksheet 1
Respiratory System

1. Determine the compound that leaves the cells as a waste product of respiration
which then joins the bloodstream.
a. ammonia.
b. carbon dioxide.
c. carbon monoxide.
d. hydrogen chloride.

2. When the diaphragm relaxes, it pushes up on the lungs and


a. drives CO2 out of the body.
b. enhances movement of O2.
c. facilitates lung expansion.
d. slows down blood flow.

3. Your biology teacher said that carbonic acid forms in the blood if present in excessive
amounts. In a classroom activity prepared by your teacher, you were asked to do deep
breathing exercises. As you exhale,
a. accumulated CO2 in the alveoli are moved out of the body.
b. accumulated O2 outside the alveoli are moved out of the body.
c. only through photosynthesis will we be able to get the needed CO2.
d. only through the thylakoid membrane will we be able to get the needed CO2.

4. Basti will be joining a 10-kilometer fun run. He finds it challenging not just because of
the distance but also because of the chosen terrain. Most participants will find it even
more challenging if they do not have much physical activity because
a. blood flow is slowed by poorly warmed up muscle groups in the arms.
b. gas exchange does not occur in their respiratory system.
c. their ability to warm up is less than the other runners.
d. they have low endurance and would easily tire.

5. A handful of cities in the Philippines have effectively banned smoking in public. Health
experts have repeatedly emphasized that cigarette smoking directly harms the respiratory
system in many ways which include
a. increasing the flow of CO2 towards the lungs.
b. making the airways smaller and irritated (as seen in coughing)
c. slowing the flow of phlegm from the larynx to the bronchi.
d. transferring beneficial nutrients from the body to the cigarette smoke.

6. In the past, city dwellers who have visited Benguet province would always talk about what
they consider as “fresh air” in the said mountain province. From this, one can infer that
a. higher altitudes would have more oxygen.
b. less people compete for air that is beneficial to our blood.
c. the quality of the respiratory system has effects on our own health.
d. there are people who equate cold climate with fresh air.
7. My mother is known in our village for growing very beautiful flowers in our garden. I
would normally see her in the morning “talking” to the flowers as if she was talking to her
friends. Some plant lovers “talk” to their plants and claim that it makes their plants
healthier. If their plants appear healthy, the most logical reason for this would be that
a. a person talking to plants would be better off talking to other people.
b. as the person speaks, CO2 needed by plants is released.
c. pests can be removed by the person to keep the plant healthy.
d. talking to plants removes stress and promotes its growth.

8. Climbing Mt. Everest is no easy feat, not only is it the highest peak in the world, but the
challenge becomes even greater because of interplay among factors found in the region.
One of these is the high altitude which results to thinner air. The lack of oxygen in such
conditions leads to
a. decreased energy production in the mitochondria.
b. elevated levels of oxygen in the matrix of the mitochondria.
c. increased levels of carbon dioxide produced during respiration.
d. limited diffusion of water is expected in the thylakoid.

9. Your father is a pulmonologist, a doctor who specializes in lung conditions. You got to see
him treat one patient in the clinic who seemed so sickly and was always coughing. His skin
did not have that healthy color that you normally see in others. Your father said that he had
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease); he was having difficulty breathing when
he is not coughing. Gas exchange in the lungs can be affected by the following except
a. ability of the lungs/alveoli to expand.
b. concentration of gases between the alveoli and capillaries.
c. number of normally functioning alveoli.
d. production of mucus in the walls of the bronchi.*

10. My grandmother would have a purplish color when she’s having a severe asthma attack. Her
normal color would be back once she has been given proper medical attention that would
enlarge her airways. This could mean that
a. doctors can fix skin color and return it to normal.
b. such a condition facilitates delivery of oxygen to the body.
c. the blocked airways are caused by phlegm.
d. the presence of oxygen is responsible for the normal body color.
Label the parts of the respiratory system and describe their functions
