GAS EXCHANGE AND ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION

Q1.          The human lung has

about 80 million alveoli.
The diagram shows some
alveoli in a human lung.

(a)     Give three features of

the alveoli that allow
large amounts of
oxygen to enter the
blood.

Diagram 2 shows the results after one hour.

(a)     In each apparatus the yeast produced a gas.

(i)      Name this gas.

(b)     One student said that the best temperature for the yeast to produce the gas was 30
°C.

What is the evidence for this in Diagram 2?

(c)     A second student said that the investigation might not have produced reliable
results.

(i)      What should the students do next to check the reliability of their results?

(d)     A third student said that the investigation might not have produced an accurate
value for the best temperature for gas production.

What should the students do next to check that 30 °C was an accurate value for the
best temperature?
