Exchange of materials GCSE Biology AQA (higher)

I have made 45 questions on practically every sentence in this topic of the AQA revision guide.
To re-do the quiz - there is a "retry" button at the top of the page.
To see the answers, click "show the answers" button at the bottom of the page.

Both of these buttons are only available once you have completed the quiz.

A useful little quiz that contains questions suited to AQA biology on gaseous exchange and absorption.  This topic is also found in specifications. Quizzes are useful to test your understanding after you have revised a topic or to show you which areas need more thorough revision.

Where does the nitric oxide diffuse into......it doesn't.  

I smiled at that.

The definition of diffusion is wrong, it says "down a concentration gradient" which is for active transport:

Active transport is the movement of dissolved molecules into or out of a cell through the cell membrane, from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. The particles move against the concentration gradient , using energy released during respiration.

Diffusion is actually:

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
