    Biology Revision Assignment-1

    Answer all the questions neatly on test pad paper and submit.

    Q1.Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and produces ATP.


    (a) Complete the word equation for aerobic respiration.
    (2)
    oxygen + ................................................... → ...................................................
    + ................................................... + ATP

    (b) A scientist investigates the rates of aerobic respiration of some animals.


    The scientist calculates the rate of respiration per gram of each animal.
    The results are shown in the table.

    Explain why a mouse uses more oxygen per gram than a human.
    (3)
    (c) The structure of a frog heart is different from the structure of a human heart.
    The diagram shows a section of a frog heart with arrows showing the direction of blood flow.

    (i) What is the name of the blood vessel labelled X?


    (1)
    A aorta
    B pulmonary artery
    C pulmonary vein
    D vena cava

    (ii) Give one difference between the structure of the frog heart and a human heart. (1)

    (iii) Humans can run for long periods of time. Frogs can only move for short periods of time.
    Explain how the structure of the heart of a frog means that it is unable to move for long periods of
    time.
    (5)
    (Total for question = 12 marks)

    Q2.A study investigates the effect of training on athletic performance.


    In the study, the number of capillaries in the muscle tissue of a person is measured before and after a six-
    week period of training.

    (a) The table shows the results.

    (i) Explain how training may affect the athletic performance of this person. Use information from the
    table to support your answer. (5)
    (ii) Give two ways in which the design of the study could be improved. (2)

    (b) The diameter of a capillary is 8.0 μm and the diameter of the aorta is 25.0 mm. 1000 μm = 1 mm.
    (i) Calculate the ratio of the diameter of the aorta to the diameter of the capillary. Show your working
    (2)

    ratio = ...........................................................
    (ii) Explain why the aorta has a thicker wall than the capillary.(2)
    (Total for question = 11 marks)

    Q3.The diagram shows the human heart with four blood vessels labelled A, B, C and D.
    (a) (i) Which blood vessel brings oxygenated blood to the heart?
    (1)
    A
    B
    C
    D

    (ii) Which blood vessel contains blood at the highest pressure?


    (1)
    A
    B
    C
    D

    (b) (i) Draw a label line on the diagram to show the position of a semi-lunar valve.
    (1)
    (ii) Describe the function of the semi-lunar valves.
    (2)
    (c) In the heart of a foetus, the two upper chambers (atria) are linked by a hole so that blood can pass
    between them.
    (i) Explain why this hole is normally closed before the baby is born.
    (2)

    (ii) Sometimes the hole does not close.


    Explain what effect this will have on the baby.
    (3)
    (Total for question = 10 marks)
    Q4.(a) The diagram shows the human heart with four chambers and four blood vessels labelled.

    (i) Which blood vessel brings deoxygenated blood to the heart?


    (1)
    A U
    B V
    C W
    D X

    (ii) Which chamber pumps oxygenated blood away from the heart?
    (1)
    A S
    B T
    C Y
    D Z

    (iii) Explain the difference in the wall of chamber S and the wall of chamber Z.
    (3)
    (b) Humans need a balanced diet for healthy growth and development.
    Give the function of three different components of a balanced diet.
    (3)
    (c) Scientists investigated the link between body mass and coronary heart disease in a population in
    Australia.
    The scientists recorded the number of heart attacks in a population of 850 people for a period of 20
    years.
    They classified the people as normal mass, overweight or obese.
    They calculated rates of heart attacks that allowed a valid comparison to be made between the
    groups.

    Evaluate what the data shows about the relationship between classification of body mass, age and heart
    attacks. (4)

    Q5. Describe an investigation you could do to find out the effect of carbon dioxide concentration on the
    movement of insect larvae. (6)
