Answer
1. Y2. The cilia move mucus and trapped particles out of the respiratory tract, while the mucus traps dust, pathogens, and other particles.3. (a) A: Spiracle, B: Tracheole (b) (i) The liquid at the end of the tracheole facilitates the diffusion of gases. (ii) The rings provide structural support to keep the trachea open.4. (a) Medulla oblongata (b) Aquatic plants have thin leaves and large surface areas to facilitate gaseous exchange.5. (a) Numerous stomata, thin leaves6. (a) To demonstrate photosynthesis and the uptake of carbon dioxide.7. (a) A: Rib, B: Intercostal muscle, C: Diaphragm (b) (i) Inhalation (ii) The diaphragm contracts and moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity. (c) During inhalation, the ribs move upward and outward, the intercostal muscles contract, and the diaphragm contracts and moves downward.
Explanation
1. The rate of diffusion of carbon (IV) oxide will be highest at the point where the concentration gradient is steepest.2. The cilia and mucus in the bronchi and bronchioles play a role in trapping and removing particles and pathogens from the respiratory tract.3. The parts labeled A and B in the tracheal system of a cockroach need to be identified.4. The liquid at the end of the structure labeled B aids in gas exchange.5. The rings on the wall of the trachea provide structural support.6. The part of the brain that controls breathing movements in man is the medulla oblongata.7. Aquatic plants have adaptations for gaseous exchange, such as thin leaves and large surface areas.8. Leaves of terrestrial plants have adaptations for stomatal gaseous exchange, such as numerous stomata and thin leaves.9. The purpose of the experiment with bromthymol blue and elodea is to demonstrate photosynthesis and the uptake of carbon dioxide.10. The parts labeled A, B, and C in the diagram of the ribs and diaphragm during breathing need to be identified.11. The breathing process shown in the diagram needs to be named.12. The reason for the breathing process needs to be provided.13. The changes in structures labeled A, B, and C during the breathing process need to be described.
