Topic 1.1 The human respiratory system
Questions
1 nose or mouth, voicebox (larynx), windpipe (trachea), bronchus, bronchiole, air sacs
2 air sacs, bronchiole, bronchus, windpipe, voicebox, nose or mouth

Topic 1.2 Gas exchange


Activity: Gases in and out 1 and 3

2 Two – one in the wall of the alveolus, and one in the wall of the capillary.

Topic 1.3 Breathing

Think like a scientist: Using a model to represent breathing movements

1 lungs = balloons; trachea = hole through the bung; diaphragm = plunger; rib cage = syringe

2 As the plunger is pulled out, the volume of air inside the syringe increases. This makes the
pressure decrease. As the air pressure outside the syringe is now higher than the air pressure

inside, air moves into the syringe through the small hole in the bung. The only place for it to
go is into the balloon, so the balloon inflates.

3 The movement of the plunger represents the movement of the diaphragm, which causes the
pressure to reduce in the chest cavity when it moves downwards. This draws air through the
trachea, inflating the lungs.

4 (Several points can be written) For example, the ‘rib cage’ in the model
cannot move, as there is nothing to represent the intercostal muscles. There are no ‘air sacs’ in
the balloons. There are no ‘blood capillaries’ around the balloons.

Questions

2 When we breathe in, the muscles in the diaphragm and between the ribs increase the
volume of the chest. This makes air move into the lungs. When we breathe out, the muscles in
the diaphragm and between the ribs decrease the volume of the chest. This makes air move out
of the lungs.

Topic 1.4 Respiration


Questions
1 Neurones need a lot of energy to transfer electrical signals around the body.
Cheek cells do not need much energy, as they just stay in place, forming a lining on the inside
of the cheek.
Mitochondria are where energy is released from glucose, through aerobic respiration, so
neurones need a lot of them.

2 a The reactants are oxygen and glucose.

b The products are carbon dioxide and water.

3 The air we breathe out contains less of the reactants (because these have been used up by
respiring cells) and, therefore, less oxygen. It contains more of the products and, therefore,
more carbon dioxide.

Activity: Thinking about a thermogram
1 The object with the highest temperature is the computer screen. Computers change electrical
energy to other forms (e.g. light) and some energy is dissipated as heat.

2 About 30 °C (Note that this is the temperature of her skin surface, which is lower than her core
temperature would be.)

3 The woman’s cells are respiring. Respiration releases some energy as heat, raising her
temperature above the temperature of the non-living chair.

Topic 1.5 Blood


Questions
1 Roughly 30 to 40 times more.
2 Differences in colour, in shape, and the knobbly surface of the white cell in contrast to the
smooth red cell.
3 Aerobic respiration happens inside mitochondria, in which oxygen reacts with glucose to
release energy.

5 Red blood cells, white blood cells, dissolved glucose, dissolved carbon dioxide

a Blood capillary correctly labelled. Wall of air sac correctly labelled.
b Two red cells drawn inside the capillary.
c Arrow labelled O from the space inside the air sac into the blood capillary.

d Arrow labelled C from the blood capillary into the air sac.
e Write the answer in your own words with reference to haemoglobin which combines with
oxygen in the lungs(forming oxyhaemoglobin) and releases it when it reaches respiring cells.

1.3 a A
bB
cC
dB

1.4 a Labels to cell membrane and cytoplasm both correct.


b nucleus
mitochondria
c Description of how the cell takes in a pathogen; kills pathogen once it is inside
the cell

d They produce antibodies which are chemicals which attach to pathogens and
kill them OR make it easier for other white cells to destroy them (by phagocytosis).
