bronchioles;
Down pressure gradient;
Down diffusion gradient;
Across alveolar epithelium;
Across capillary endothelium/epithelium;


Difference between species richness and index of diversity
✔✔✔ANSWER➖Species richness measures only number of
(different) species / does not measure number of individuals;

Provide strength (to cell wall);


Describe how mRNA is produced in the nucleus of the cell
✔✔✔ANSWER➖Helicase;

Pre-mRNA spliced to remove introns;


What two types of molecule is a ribosome made from?
✔✔✔ANSWER➖nucleotide and protein


Describe the role of a ribosome in the production of a
polypeptide ✔✔✔ANSWER➖mRNA binds to ribosome;

lysosome;
(Virus) destroyed by lysozymes/hydrolytic enzymes;
Peptides/antigen (from virus) are displayed on the cell
membrane;


Explain three ways in which an insects tracheal system is
adapted for efficient gas exchange ✔✔✔ANSWER➖Tracheoles
have thin walls so short diffusion distance to cells;
Highly branched/large number of tracheoles so short diffusion
distance to cells;
Highly branched/large number of tracheoles so large surface
area (for gas exchange);
Tracheae provide tubes full of air so fast diffusion (into insect
tissues);
Fluid in the end of the tracheoles that moves out (into tissues)
during exerciseso faster diffusion through the air to the gas
exchange surface;
