Some individuals within a population are more likely to reproduce than others.

Different species have different reproductive success.

More organisms reproduce successfully over time.

4 / 19

Why do most mutations cause a decrease in reproductive success?

Because a mutation often causes a non-functional protein in the affected organism, leading to a loss of function in certain tissues or organs.

Because the mutation will reduce the production of gametes.

Because the mutation means only infertile offspring are produced.

5 / 19

A mutation in a population of bed bugs in New York City caused the bedbugs to have a thicker, waxier exoskeleton. Why will the allele for thicker , waxier exoskeleton in bed bugs increase in the population?

The thicker exoskeleton makes it easier to lay eggs. More eggs are laid, so more bed bugs with thicker exoskeleton.

The thicker exoskeleton means that the insecticide used to kill them is no longer effective. The thicker exoskeletal bed bugs are more likely to reproduce and pass on the new allele.

The waxy exoskeleton is waterproof, so they are less likely to drown.

The Mass Flow Hypothesis, is the best explanation for translocation in plants. What does it suggest happens at 'sources'?

Substances move by diffusion from a high concentration where they are made, to a lower concentration in the phloem.

Substances are actively transported out of the source cell into the phloem, reducing the water potential in the phloem.

Substances are stored, reducing the concentration in the source, creating a concentration gradient.

21 / 25

In the mass flow hypothesis, the water potential is reduced in the phloem near the sources. What will happen to water movement?

Water will move into the source cells via osmosis, from the phloem. Reducing the pressure in the phloem.

The same amount of water will move in as move out as it is now isotonic.

Water will move into the phloem via osmosis, increasing the pressure.

22 / 25

What happens to the solutes at the sink?

They are pumped back up phloem going the other way.

They are more dense so sink down, and gather in cells on the lower surface.

Enzymes break them down or join them together as insoluble storage.

23 / 25

At the sink, solutes are removed from the phloem, what effect does this have on water movement?

The water potential is increased, so water moves out of the phloem reducing pressure.

The water potential is decreased, so water moves into the phloem increasing pressure.

The water potential remains isotonic, as other solutes are pumped in to replace those lost.

24 / 25

Which of the following is evidence against the mass flow hypothesis?

Removal of xylem on a tree trunk ( ringing) causes a bulge above it, which has more sucrose.

Sieve plates cause a barrier to the pressure gradient in mass flow and would slow the flow.

Radioactive CO2 shows movement from leaf to the roots.

25 / 25

If a small tube is inserted into the phloem through the bark of a tree, sap containing sucrose leaks out. Where on the tree will the most sap leak from due to the highest hydrostatic pressure?

Top of the branch, nearest the leaves.

Middle of the tree, near the top of the trunk.

Bottom of the trunk.

Because the pressure has become higher in the atria than the ventricle.

16 / 25

What is Cardiovascular Disease?

The same as CHD : when the arteries of the heart become damaged, often associated with a build up of fatty deposits.

When the arteries of the brain become damaged, often associated with a build up of fatty deposits.

A blood clot that forms under the endothelium when an artery becomes damaged.

Swelling caused by highblood pressure.

19 / 25

Which of the following IS NOT a way that smoking contributes to the risk of CVD?

Carbon Monoxide and Nicotine both cause an increase in blood pressure, which increases the risk of an Atheroma forming.

Carbon Monoxide reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of haemoglobin, this increases heart rate and reduces oxygen available to the heart tissues.

Tar sticks to the inside of arteries and arteriole lumen, restricting blood flow, increasing the risk of a thrombus forming.

20 / 25

Which of the following is a way a high salt content in your diet increases your risk of developing CVD?

Salt reduces the water potential of the blood, so water moves out of the endothelium cells via osmosis, causing them to shrivel.

Salt reduces the water potential of the blood, causing water to move in from surrounding tissues via osmosis, leading to an increase in blood pressure, and development of an atheroma.

Salt reduces the water potential of your blood, causing the red blood cells to crenate and form blood clots.

Why is it useful that the Bohr Effect reduces the percentage saturation of Haemoglobin with oxygen?

reduction in saturation also causes a reduction in partial pressure, so a concentration gradient is maintained.

The oxygen has unloaded from the haemoglobin, so it can be exhaled via the lungs.

The oxygen has unloaded from the haemoglobin, so it is available for aerobic respiration in the tissues
