    The document contains questions about plant and animal physiology. It asks about gas exchange in plants, the application of respiration by named organisms, how gum disease develops, the structure and function of endocrine glands, hormones like insulin and ADH, how the nervous and endocrine systems compare, the skin as a sense organ, osmoregulation, how the skin regulates temperature, homeostasis, the roles of the kidney and liver, how the skin reduces heat loss, the functions of thyroxine and glucagon, and causes and corrections of short sight. It contains short answer questions ranging from 2 to 6 points testing understanding of key biological concepts and systems.
