……………………………………………………………………
(ii) The blood vessel labelled X has very thick walls.
Explain why this is necessary.

4. Paul used a machine to measure his breathing rate. He breathed in and out of the machine. The
machine recorded the volume of air he breathed in and out with each breath, for one minute.
Paul collected a set of results when he was sitting still, and another set when he was running on
the spot.
Then he printed out the results that the machine recorded. This is what they looked like:

a. How many breaths did Paul take in one minute when he was resting? [1]

b. Use the graph to work out the volumes of air breathed in with each of the first ten breaths
that Paul took when he was resting. [1]

c. Calculate the mean volume of these ten breaths[2]

e. Use the graph to work out the volumes of air breathed in with each of the first ten breaths
that Paul took when he was running. [1]

5. What is the equation that represents respiration? [1]

________________________________________________________________________________

6. False or truth. Explain the false ones. [3]

a. Breathing is the same as respiration ( )

b. All living organisms breath ( )

7. PM2.5 is a microscopic particle that is often responsible for causing air pollution, the higher
PM 2.5 concentration the more polluted the air is. Answers the questions.

a. At what time was the air more polluted during 2015? [1]

b. At 2 am what was the PM2.5 concentration during 2016? [1]

c. As the years pass, is the pollution increases or decreases (At 10 pm)? [1]

8. The table shows the number of breaths taken per minute and the volume of air in each breath
before exercise.
Suggest values for the breathing rate and the volume of air in each breath immediately after
exercise.
Record these values in the table. [2]

Before exercise After exercise

Breathing rate/breaths per
12.0
minute
Volume of air in each
0.5
breath/dm3

9. A student investigates the effects of physical activity on breathing. He sets up the apparatus:

Describe how the student can use the apparatus to measure the maximum volume of air he can
expire (breathe out) from his lungs. [3]

10. Plan an investigation to show the effect of physical activity on pulse rate. [4]
Include the following in your answer.
• How you would measure pulse rate.
• When you would measure pulse rate.
WHAT WILL YOU KEEP THE SAME- WHAT WILL YOU CHANGE.
• How you would make sure you have confidence in your results.
