18
Q

Where does gas exchange occur in plants

A

Stomata in leaves

19
Q

Broad leaves

A

Large surface area for diffusion

20
Q

Air spaces in leaves

A

Gases can move easily and increases surface area for gas exchange

21
Q

What do guard cells in leaves do

A

Control opening and closing of stomata

22
Q

4 Alveoli adaptations for gas exchange

A

Large surface area, moist, good blood supply, thin walls

23
Q

How thin are alveoli walls

A

One cell thick

24
Q

Trachea

A

Carries air to lungs

25
Q

What does the trachea have

A

Incomplete rings of cartalige and mucus cells and cilia

26
Q

Pleural membrane

A

Forms a seal around the lungs

27
Q

Bronchi

A

Carries air from trachea to lungs

28
Q

Bronchioles

A

Carries air to alveoli

29
Q

Alveoli

A

Tiny air sacs adapted for gas exchange

30
Q

Ribs

A

Bones that protect and ventilate lungs

31
Q

Intercostal muscles

A

Inhalation: contract and move ribs up and out
Exhalation: relax and mive ribs down and in

32
Q

Diaphragm

A

Domed sheet of muscle
Inhalation: contract and move down
Exhalation: relax and move up

33
Q

Two parts of the breathing system where the chemicals in smoke can destroy the cilia

A

Trachea and bronchi

34
Q

Effect of damaged cilia

A

Cilia become paralysed and can’t waft mucus

35
Q

Smokers cough explanation

A
  • smoke irritates airway linings
  • cells make more mucus
  • airway is blocked more
36
Q

What can cause bronchitis

A

Irritations in airway and infections from bacteria in mucus

37
Q

Effect of bronchitis

A

Blocks normal airflow so it is difficult to breathe

38
Q

Emphysema symptoms

A

Not enough oxygen so difficult to carry out mild exercise

39
Q

Emphysema explained

A
  • smoke damages alveoli walls
  • walls break down and fuse together
  • creates enlarged, irregular air spaces
  • reduces surface area for gas exchange so less oxygen to diffuse into the blood
40
Q

What is a carcinogen

A

Cancer causing chemical

41
Q

Tumour

A

When cells mutate and start to divide uncontrollably

42
Q

Carbon monoxide binds with haemoglobin

A

Carboxyhemoglobin

43
Q

Carbon monoxide effect on blood

A

Binds to haemoglobin and Inhibits ability of RBCs to carry O2

44
Q

Disease caused by carbon monoxide poisoning

A

Heart disease
