Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

During gas exchange in the alveoli, oxygen moves into the blood by the process of:

  1. Osmosis
  2. Active transport
  3. Diffusion
  4. Filtration
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CDiffusion
Award 1 mark for stating that oxygen moves from a region of high concentration in the alveolus to a region of low concentration in the blood capillary by diffusion. A is incorrect — osmosis is the movement of water molecules only. B is incorrect — active transport requires energy and moves substances against a concentration gradient. D is incorrect — filtration involves pressure to separate substances.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which structure prevents food from entering the trachea during swallowing?

  1. Larynx
  2. Epiglottis
  3. Bronchus
  4. Pharynx
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BEpiglottis
Award 1 mark for identifying the epiglottis as the flap-like structure that covers the trachea during swallowing. A is incorrect — the larynx is the voice box and does not close over the trachea. C is incorrect — the bronchus is a branch of the trachea within the lungs. D is incorrect — the pharynx is the throat region where air and food passages cross.
