Bio Immune Gas Exchange Markscheme
Bio Immune Gas Exchange Markscheme
1.Using the information provided, explain how two features of the body of the tubifex
worm allow efficient gas exchange
● Thin/small so short diffusion pathway
● Flat/long/small/thin so large surface area to volume ratio
2.Explain the advantage for larger animals of having a specialised system that
facilitates oxygen uptake.
● Large(r) organisms have a small(er) surface area:volume
● Overcomes long diffusion pathway
3.Use your knowledge of surface area to volume ratio to explain the higher metabolic
rate of a mouse compared to a h-*-orse
● larger surface area to volume ratio
● More/faster heat loss
● respiration/metabolism releases heat
4.explain why cant draw conclusion
no statistic information
information lack
cant compare the stages
