Suggest the advantages of the change in blood flow in blood vessels during exercise. [3 marks] - answer--more blood flow to muscles during exercise -supplying more glucose and oxygen/ removing carbon dioxide/ lactic acid/ heat -for high rate of respiration/ to meet increased demand for energy Explain how microorganisms contributed to the increase in temperature during processing of organic waste. [2 marks] - answer-respiration produces heat explain the advantage of showing the data using...

AQA biology a-level paper 2 AQA biology a-level paper 2 describe and explain the steps in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis - ANS 1. photoionisation: light reaches chlorophyll in PSII, which is absorbed by an electron, which becomes excited and moves to a higher energy level. 2. the electron passes to a carrier protein in the thylakoid membrane, and is passed down a series of carrier molecules called an electron transfer chain. 3. as the electron moves down, energy is lo...

fMRI/EEG QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 2023 How does fMRI work? When activity is taking place in a particular region of the brain, the neurones require oxygen. When an person lies inside an MRI machine, all of the protons in their body try to line up with the magnetic field. Protons in oxygenated blood are very organised in their spinning. However, deoxygenated haemoglobin molecules have magnetic field gradients that alter the spinning of nearby diffusion hydrogen nuclei. This less organised spinning ...
