Structured Qn 1d
(i)! To increase the rate of diffusion of
gases between the air in the fibres
and the blood;
(ii)!Small pores would only allow small
molecules like oxygen and carbon
dioxide to pass, and not larger
molecules like glucose and
proteins;

Structured Qn 1e

 Structured Qn 2b
Essay Qn 1
•! Blood contains lymphocytes which
produce antibodies that help to
agglutinate bacteria and allows them
to be easily ingested by phagocytes
in the blood [1.5]
•! Antibodies also help to neutralize
toxins produced by bacteria [1/2]
Essay Qn 1
•! Thrombin would convert soluble
fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin fibres
[1/2]
•! The fibres would trap platelets and
blood cells forming a clot, sealing the
area, preventing entry of bacteria
[1/2]
Structured Qn 2c
•! Right atrium contracts (1)
•! Semi lunar valves open (4)
•! Right ventricle contracts (2)
•! Tricuspid valve closes (3)
•! Deduct 1 mark for 1st mistake, 1/2
mark for 2nd-3rd mistake
Essay Qn 1
•! Blood also contains platelets which
help in clotting of blood when there
is an injury [1/2]
•! Damaged tissues would release
thromboplastin, which would convert
prothrombin in the blood into
thrombin [1/2]
