iGCSE Biology (0610)-11.1 Gas exchange in humans – iGCSE Style Questions Paper 1

Question

The diagram shows the breathing system in humans. Which labelled part is surrounded by blood capillaries for gas exchange?

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans D

The correct answer is D, because :

In labelled diagram, parts are :

• A – Trachea (helps in passage of air to lungs)

• B – Bronchi (passage of air to lungs)

• C – Bronchioles ( passages air to the alveoli)

• D – Alveoli ( helps in gaseous exchange, which are surrounded by blood capillaries)

 

Question

 Which process do living organisms use to remove excess carbon dioxide from their bodies?
A excretion
B movement
C nutrition
D respiration

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans A

The correct answer is D, because :

• Respiration is the process of removing excess carbon dioxide from their bodies

• Excretion is removal of waste substances from body

• Nutrition is the intake of nutrient containing foods

• Respiration is the production of energy from food substances absorbed

Question

Which structure in the breathing system has the thinnest wall?
A alveolus
B bronchiole
C bronchus
D trachea

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans A

The correct answer is A, because :

In gaseous exchange system, the gaseous exchange occurs at site of alveoli which will be having thinnest wall as it’s through diffusion.

Whereas,
• Bronchiole is thin but not at as alveoli.
• Bronchus and trachea are not thin

Question

Which table correctly shows the difference in composition of inspired air compared with expired air?

▶️Answer/Explanation

C

The correct answer is C, because :

In inspiration, air intake is from air space to lungs which contains high oxygen concentration and low carbon dioxide concentration.
