is a diagram showing the diffusion of oxygen molecules across a cell membrane. The arrow shows the direction of the net movement of oxygen molecules through the membrane. oxygen molecule cell membrane inside the cell outside the cell Using the information in , explain why the net movement of oxygen molecules is from the outside of the cell to the inside of the cell. State where the energy for diffusion comes from. State the name of the cells that transport oxygen in the human body. State the name of the molecule that oxygen binds to when it is transported around the body. Table 1.1 shows some factors that may affect the rate of diffusion of oxygen molecules. Complete Table 1.1 by stating whether each factor increases, decreases or has no effect on the rate of diffusion of oxygen molecules. Table 1.1 factor how the factor affects the rate of diffusion low temperature increase in the diffusion distance increase in the surface area of the cell membrane Some molecules are transported by active transport rather than by diffusion. Describe what is meant by the term active transport.

is a diagram of the female reproductive system in humans. D C E F G Table 2.1 shows some of the functions of the female reproductive system. Complete Table 2.1 by writing the letters from to show which structure is responsible for each function. Table 2.1 function of the part of the female reproductive system letter from site of fertilisation site of implantation of the fertilised egg cell the place where egg cells develop Complete the sentences about fertilisation. Fertilisation occurs when the of two gametes fuse. The fertilised egg cell is called a . shows the changes in the thickness of the uterus lining in one menstrual cycle in a human. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 day of menstrual cycle thickness of the uterus lining 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Using the information in : State the days of the menstrual cycle when the uterus lining is lost. from day to day State the days of the menstrual cycle when the uterus lining is thickest. from day to day State the name and describe the role of a hormone produced in the testes. name role

A balanced diet contains all the nutrients needed by the body to maintain health. Water is needed as part of a balanced diet. A woman was advised to drink 2.7 dm3 of water per day. A cup contains 250 cm3 of water. Calculate the number of cups of water the woman needs to drink. Give your answer to the nearest whole number. Space for working. cups Water is an important solvent in the body. State two body processes that use water as a solvent. shows part of the human digestive system. W X Y State the names of the organs labelled X and Y. X Y Circle two substances that are absorbed into the blood from organ X. amino acids carbon dioxide fibre glucose starch urea State two functions of organ W. After absorption, nutrients are taken into and used by cells. State the name of this process.

A student investigated the concentration of lactic acid in the blood of an athlete during a 400 m race. shows the results of the investigation. time / s blood lactic acid concentration / mmol per dm3 Using the information in , state the time during the race when blood lactic acid concentration is 4.8 mmol per dm3. s Using the information in , calculate the increase in blood lactic acid concentration between 0 seconds and 20 seconds. blood lactic acid concentration at 0 seconds mmol per dm3 blood lactic acid concentration at 20 seconds mmol per dm3 increase = mmol per dm3 The list shows three statements about the data in . Tick (✓) one correct statement. The lactic acid concentration doubled between 0 and 5 seconds. The lactic acid concentration was constant between 30 and 50 seconds. The lactic acid concentration increased between 45 and 55 seconds. Complete the sentences about aerobic respiration. During aerobic respiration, glucose reacts with . Aerobic respiration takes place in the in cells. Aerobic respiration releases energy than anaerobic respiration. Respiration releases energy. State three uses of energy in living organisms.

A sexually transmitted infection (STis an infection transmitted through sexual contact. Table 6.1 shows some STIs and the type of pathogen that causes the infection. Table 6.1 name of STI type of pathogen chlamydia bacteria gonorrhoea bacteria hepatitis B virus syphilis bacteria State the names of the STIs shown in Table 6.1 that can be treated using antibiotics. Antibiotics are one type of drug. Describe what is meant by the term drug. State why the effectiveness of some antibiotics has reduced over time. HIV can be transmitted through sexual contact. The box on the left contains the term HIV. The boxes on the right contain some methods of disease transmission. Draw two lines to show two other ways that HIV can be transmitted from one person to another. HIV sharing needles a mosquito bite coughing and sneezing contaminated food breastfeeding Table 6.2 shows the number of people infected with different STIs in one country.
