Question 1
Question
What is the main purpose of the heart and the circulatory system?
Answer
-
Primarily used for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between air we breathe and blood
-
To move substances around the body
-
To collect carbon dioxide waste materials and fluids for return to the veins.
Question 2
Question
Diffusion is the movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
Question 3
Question
When it comes to movement of substances around the body, what is the problem for humans and mammals?
Answer
-
They are smaller and so cannot have enough space for movement to take place
-
They only have one cell that is used to function their entire being
-
They have problems functioning properly
-
They are too large for diffusion to move substances around their bodies quickly enough
Question 4
Question
Multicellular organisms deal with their difficulty in moving substances around the body because they usually have blood to carry vital substances around their bodies and a heart to pump it around
Question 5
Question
Difference between open and closed circulatory systems?
Answer
-
In closed systems: Simple heart pumps blood into the cavities but returns the blood back to the heart, and then to the body
In open systems: The heart pumps blood around the body and substances diffuse between the organs and cells
-
In closed systems: blood is enclosed within tubes. the blood is forced along fairly narrow channels instead of flowing into large cavities
In open systems: simple heart pumps blood out into cavities surrounding the animal’s organs. Substances can diffuse between the blood and cells. When the heart muscle relaxes, blood is drawn from the cavity back into the heart, through small valved openings along its length.
-
In closed systems: The blood flows in the body organs which uses enclosed tubes to send it back to the heart
In open systems: The heart pumps the blood in cavaties and then blood is drawn from cavity back into the heart
Question 6
Question
Closed circulatory systems are much slower because they are larger and need less pressure to move substances
Question 7
Question
In a human the blood flows through the heart once for each complete circuit of the body.
Question 8
Question
Why do mammals and birds have higher metabolic rates?
Answer
-
The oxygen and food substances required for metabolic processes can be delivered more rapidly to cells in mammals and birds
-
There are extremely large numbers of capillaries which ensure oxygen is exchanged quicker
-
Longer time for the blood to circulate around their body
-
Organs diffuse substances quicker to the body , then the heart accepts quicker and then pump blood around.

Question 10
Question

Question 11
Question

Question 12
Question
What is the function of a valve?
Answer
-
To prevent the blood from flowing in the arteries
-
To prevent the entrance of waste in the blood
-
To ensure that blood flows only in one direction
-
To ensure that the heomoglobin in the blood has enough oxygen

None of the above
Question 17
Question
Why is it difficult for lipids to be transported by transport mediums in the body?
Question 18
Question
Lipids can be transported around the body by binding with amino acids to form lipoproteins which can then be transported by transport mediums
Question 19
Question
The specifi c heat capacity of water, the amount of energy in joules required to raise the temperature of 1 cm3 (1 g) of water by 10 ºC, is very high
