Is the SA:VOL ratio larger that in an elephant or a mouse?
mouse
1 of 30
Why do unicellular organisems respire by diffusion
large sa:vol, so diffusion through body surface is sufficient to suppky their needs
2 of 30
What are the specialsed surfaces for gas exchange in aquatic organisms
Gills
3 of 30
What are the specialised surfaces for gas exchange in terrestrial enviroments
Lungs
4 of 30
4 properties of gas exhagne surfaces to aid diffusion
Large SA, thin, moist, permeable
5 of 30
The large moist area for GE is a region of potential ______________
Water loss
6 of 30
Why is counter current flow more efficient
Diffusion gradient of adjacnet flows is maintained over the whole surface
7 of 30
internal gills minimose loss of _________ and ___________
Water , heat
8 of 30
Amphibians have a ________ form, which develops in water and undergoes __________ into adult form
Larval, Metamorphisis
9 of 30
how do frogs respire when inactive
uses moist skin as a respiritory surface
10 of 30
when active?
uses lungs
11 of 30
Reptiles and birds have more efficiant lungs than amohibians, true or false?
TRUE
12 of 30
The human respiritory system includes....
Epiglottis, thrchea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleural membranes, ribs, intercoslte muscls, diaphragm
13 of 30
Name the 2 functions of the respiritory system
Ventilation and gas exchange
14 of 30
Ventalation movemens are caused by the
Intercostle muscles, diaphragm, pleaural membranes, pleural cavity
15 of 30
What typoe of organism has Branched chitin lined system of thachea
Insects
16 of 30
What are the openings if the trachea called
Spiricles
17 of 30
What 8 features does the angiosperm leaf include?
Cutile, epidermis, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, vascuar bundle, air space, stomata, guard cells
18 of 30
What do these features do
allow the plant to photosynthesise efectivly
19 of 30
Name a laf adaptaion for light harvesting
large SA, ability to move by growth the the best positions
20 of 30
Palisade cells are _________ and _______ arranged in a layer
elongated, densly
21 of 30
what organelle do palisade cells ocntain a lot of
Chlolplast
22 of 30
Light can pass thorugh the ______
spongy mesophyll
23 of 30
What is the function of the spaces between mesophyll cells
They allow CO2 to diffuse to the cells and O2 to diffuse away. The cells are moist so gasses can dissolve
24 of 30
What is the function of the cuticle
Prevents water loss, reduces gaseous exchange
25 of 30
What is the functin of the presence of pores and stomata
Allows water and gasses to enter thorugh
26 of 30
What do the guard cells do to control GE and loss of water
open and close
27 of 30
Why do guard cells change shape
Turgor
28 of 30
Is the inner or outer wall inelastic
INNER
29 of 30
What plants open their stomata at night instead of day, in order to conserve water
Xerophytes
