4. Question: Sep, 2011
Give a biological explanation
for each of the following:
Aquatic mammals such as
whales have a thick layer of
blubber. (3)
5.
6. 3 layers in epidermis:
cornified
granular
malpighian
7. New skin cells are made all the
time at the :
cornified
granular
malpighian
8. Growth of the epidermis:
cornified
4 The dead cells
become hard and
flat and flake off.
The cells are cut
3 off from the blood granular
supply and so die.
2 This cell enters
the granular
layer.
Cells in this layer
malpighian
1 divide to produce
two cells.
9. Functions of the cornified layer:
i) reduces water loss
ii) keeps out microbes Cornified layer
๏งdead cells
10. Function of the malpighian layer:

take a salt tablet after staying in
the sun for a long time.
To replace salts
lost in sweat.
23. Question: SEP, 2010

Hot days: No/less sweat
Water lost in sweat
33. What is present in the dermis?
๏ sensory nerve endings
๏ sweat glands
๏ hair follicles
๏ capillaries
34. Capillaries:
๏ bring food and oxygen to the
skin and remove wastes
๏ capillary loops near the skin
surface are important in
controlling temperature
38. Give a reason for this observation.
A child looks pale in the face on a cold day but
red after running a race.
Vasoconstriction to Vasodilation to
reduce heat loss. increase heat loss.

40.
41. 5 functions of the skin:
1. Protection โ
๏ง barrier to microbes
๏ง reduces water loss
๏ง absorbs UV rays
42. 5 functions of the skin:
2. Sensation
๏งsensory cells make the body
aware of the changes around it
through pain, touch, heat cold
and pressure
43. 5 functions of the skin:
3. Formation of vitamin D
๏งby the action of sunlight on the skin
44. 5 functions of the skin:
4. Temperature regulation
๏งhelps to keep a constant body temperature
5. Excretion
๏งremoves urea in sweat
45. Question: Sep, 2011
Give a biological explanation for each of the
following:
African elephants flap their large ears
frequently in hot weather. (4)
48. Ways to GAIN heat
1) INTERNAL CHANGES
2) EXTERNAL CHANGES
49. Ways to GAIN heat
1) INTERNAL CHANGES
i) reactions release heat
ii) muscular contractions release heat
IRATION
RESP
50. Ways to GAIN heat
2) EXTERNAL CHANGES
i)body absorbs heat if temperature is more
than 37ยฐC
ii) hot foods and drinks add heat
51. Ways to LOSE heat
a)conduction, convection, radiation
b) evaporation of sweat
c) cold air inhaled
d) cold drinks and food
52.
53. Find the SA:Vol of the cube
Area of 1 side = length x width
= 1 x 1 = 1 cm2
Area of 6 sides = 1 x 6 = 6 cm2
Volume = length x width x height
= 1 x 1 x 1 = 1 cm3
Surface area to volume ratio = 6:1
54. Find the SA:Vol of the cube
Area of 1 side = 2 x 2 = 4 cm2
Area of 6 sides = 4 x 6 = 24 cm2
Volume = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 cm3
Surface area to volume ratio = 3:1
56. 2 cubes were immersed in a dye for the
same amount of time. They were
removed and cut in half. Explain the
result.
57. Rate of diffusion is the same in all cubes
BUT distance to centre is different
58. A LARGE organism has
๏ a small surface area to volume ratio which
means:
1. little heat is lost
2. cannot take in oxygen from the body surface
by diffusion
60. A large organism needs a:
๏ง Circulatory system
๏ง Breathing system
Why does an amoeba lack a circulatory
system?
Being small, it has a large surface area to
volume ratio. Materials reach all parts of
the cell quickly.
61. A SMALL organism has
๏ a large surface area to volume ratio which
means:
1. a lot of heat is lost
2. can take in oxygen from the body surface by
diffusion
63. Arctic animals
๏ Are large
๏ Have small ears
๏ Thick fur
64. Two species of Lepus adapted to live at
different temperatures. Explain how.
65. A baby and an adult, both naked,
are placed in a room at a low
temperature. Which one loses heat
faster and dies first? Why?
Small body- Large body-
large SA: Vol ratio small SA: Vol ratio
66. Rule is:
LARGE animals in cold climates
SMALL animals in hot climates
Large body- Small body-
little heat loss large heat losses
67.
68. ๏ง fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates
๏ง absorb heat from their surroundings - this is
called basking
๏ง are poikilotherms
Marine iguana
basking
69. ๏ง birds and mammals

71. Question: MAY, 2011
Give a biological explanation for each of the following
situations:
a)A volunteer student sat in a sauna (a chamber with
a temperature reaching 80ยฐC for an hour. Sweat
production increased rapidly. (3)
72. Increase in external environmental
temperature will result in an increase in the
internal body temperature.
Body produces sweat to regulate the internal
temperature.
Evaporation of sweat cools down the body
temperature.
73. Question: MAY, 2011
Give a biological explanation for each of the following
situations:
b) A young child falls in a frozen lake in winter. The
child starts shivering vigorously after being pulled out
of the lake. (4)
74. Muscles contract and relax quickly โ this
produces heat.
The heat generated in the muscles warms the
blood as it flows through them.
The blood distributes this heat all over the
body.
75. Question: MAY, 2011
List THREE ways by which the parents of a child
who fell in a frozen lake in winter can prevent
further heat loss. (3)
76. ๏ Provision of dry clothes/moving
child next to a warm environment
such as a heater/removing cold
clothes and covering child with a
blanket/
๏ Help child to take a warm bath
๏ Provide a warm drink or fluid such
as soup.
77. Question: SEP, 2010
Give a biological explanation for each of the
following statements:
In cold weather we tend to shiver and eat
more. (3)
Shiver: to produce heat
Eat more: higher rate of respiration = more
heat
