1. Heart rate, rate and depth of breathing increases. 2. This increases the blood flow to the muscles. 3. Thereby increasing the blood flow to the muscles. 4. And increasing the rate of removal of CO2

What happens in mitosis?
Copies of genetic material are made. Cell divided once to form genetically identical cells
3 of 21
What happens in meiosis?
Copies of genetic material are made. Cell divides twice to form four gametes, each with a single set of chromosomes. Then gametes join during fertilisation

Pancreas and Small Intestine produce which enzymes?
Carbohydrase, Lipase, Protease
5 of 21
The Salivary Glands produce which enzymes?
Carbohydrase (Amylase)

What happens during inhalation?
The intercostal muscles contract. The ribcage expands outwards and upwards. Diaphragm contracts, pulling down to increase the volume of chest. The pressure inside the chest is lowered and the air is sucked into lungs
7 of 21
What happens during exhalation?
The intercostal muscles relax. The ribcage drops inwards and downwards. The diaphragm relaxes, moving back upwards to decrease volume of chest. The pressure inside the chest is increased, so the air is forced out of the lungs

Differences between arteries and veins.
Arteries pump blood from heart, whereas veins pump blood to heart. Arteries have thick walls with muscle to pump the blood, whereas veins have thin walls with little muscle. Veins have valves to prevent backflow of blood.

What does the plasma transport?
CO2 from organs to lungs. Soluble products of digestion from S. Intestine to other organs. Urea from liver to kidney
10 of 21
Worst conditions for transpiration and the result?
Hot, Windy and dry - causes wilting because too much water lost
11 of 21
What does xylem transport?
Water and mineral ions from roots to stem and leaves
12 of 21
What does phloem transport?
Dissolved sugars from leaves to rest of plant
13 of 21
How does a healthy kidney produce urine?
By filtering the blood, then reabsorbing all the sugar, the dissolved ions needed by the body, as much water as the body needs. Then releasing the urea, excess ions and water as urine
14 of 21
Composition of dialysis fluid????
Low Urea, Same/ideal sugar and ion concentration
15 of 21
Advantages of dialysis
More available than kidney donors and does not need drugs
16 of 21
Disadvantages of dialysis
Needs regular and long session. There is less freedom. A careful control of diet
17 of 21
Advantages of kidney transplant
No more dialysis. No need to control diet. Freedom
18 of 21
Disadvantages of kidney transplant
Finding a donor is difficult. Kidney could be rejected due to different tissue type. Need to take immunosupressants for the rest of life. This can make the person prone to illness since the person's immune system is weakened

What is a major consequence of deforestation?
Reduction in biodiversity
20 of 21
What is biodiversity?
A variety of different species living in a habitat
