B3.1 Bio Review
| What is always a consequence of the evaporation of water from mesophyll cells in leaves of a healthy plant? | Water moves up the stem in the xylem. |
| What occurs at gas exchange surfaces in the lungs of mammals? | I. Gases diffuse across a moist surface II. Concentration gradients are maintained by ventilation. III. Water is lost. |
| For what reason do large organisms need specialized gas exchange structures? | They have a relatively small surface in contact with the outside |
| What can be seen in a plant diagram of a leaf? | Vascular bundles and thickness of palisade mesophyll |
| What occurs during inspiration? | External intercostal muscles contract, decreasing the pressure in the thorax. |
| Which variable(s) must be controlled if transpiration rates are compared in different plant species? | I. Total leaf surface area III. Room temperature |
| What occurs during inhalation? | External Intercostal muscles: contract Movement of ribs: rise |
| Which is an adaptation to increase rates of gas exchange in the lungs? | High vascularization |
