1) The document is a biology study guide for senior year students covering the topic of human nutrition and respiration. It contains questions about the processes of respiration, differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration, gas exchange in the body, and the components of blood. 2) The questions cover topics like where respiration occurs in the body, the products of different types of respiration, the order of structures involved in breathing, and the process of lungs expanding during inhalation. 3) The document aims to test students' understanding of key concepts in human nutrition and respiration through questions ranging from defining terms to explaining biological processes.

1) Respiration
1) a- If, in one word, you had to say what respiration was about, which word would you choose from this list:
Breathing- energy- oxygen- cells- food?
b- In which parts of a living organism does respiration take place?
2) a- What are the main differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?
b- What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration in the amount of energy released from one
molecule of glucose?
3) What are the products of a) anaerobic respiration in yeast?
b) anaerobic respiration in muscles?
4) Why do you think your breathing rate and heart rate stay high for some time after completing a spell of vigorous
exercise?

2. 2)- Gas exchange
1) Label parts A, B and C.
2) Place the following structures in the order in which air reach them when breathing in: bronchus, trachea, nasal cavity,
alveolus.
3) One function of the small intestine is to absorb food. One function of the lungs is to absorb oxygen. Point out the basic
similarities in these two structures which help to speed the process of absorption.
4) Place the following in the correct order: lungs expand, ribs rise, air enters lungs, external intercostals muscles contract,
thorax expands.
5) Blood: Make a labelled drawing of a test tube containing blood after being centrifuged. Explain the function of each of
the components.
