10. The arrow on the diagram shows the direction of movement of some of the liquid in a capillary. What causes the changes in water potential between point X and Y?





11. During the cardiac cycle, what causes the flaps of the bicuspid valve to close?





12. The diagram represents the circulatory system. Which diagram is correct for an adult human?





13. Both equations, Y and Z, show reactions that take place in red blood cells. Y - Hb +O2 <------> HbO2 Z - CO2 + H2O <------> H2CO3 ( Hb = Haemoglobin )   What is the factor that determines the speed and direction of the reactions?





14. The diagram shows some tissue cells next to the capillary in the body of a human male. What is present in the tissue fluid formed from the plasma?
