WHY IS WATER USED IN DIGESTION 

 
for breakdown of food molecules/hydrolysis; 
used in chemical digestion; 
solvent for enzymes; 
solvent for food; 
softens food; 
makes it easier to move food; 
makes easier to chew/swallow; 
 
STRUCTURAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BACTERIA AND VIRUS 
 
bacteria have cells; 
cell walls; 
cell membrane; 
cytoplasm; 
u/

ribosome; 
flagellum; 
capsule;

AVP; 
 
WHY DOESN'T OXYGEN CONSUMPTION RETURN TO NORMAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER 
EXERCISE 
um

 
oxygen debt; 
during exercise oxygen not supplied fast enough; 
to muscles; 
anaerobic respiration occured during exercise; 
zz

lactic acid produced; 

builds up in muscles; 
extra oxygen required after exercise; 
lactic acid is broker down/respired/converted to glucose;

HOW XEROPHYTE LEAVES REDUCE WATERLOSS 
 
thick cuticle; 
longer distance for diffusion/impermeable; 
rolled leaves; 
air trapped inside rolled leaf has higher humidity, reduces transpiration; 
sunken stomata; 
chamber has higher humidity, stomata protected from wind or moving air; 
hairs on leaf; 
reduces air flow over surface; 
small leaves/ leaves reduced to spines; 
smaller surface area; 
fewer stomata; 
water passes through them, so less transpiration; 
 
WHY A DESERT PLANT MAY HAVE SHALLOW LATERAL ROOT SYSTEMS 
 
has shallow roots/wide spreading roots/AW; 
absorbs water, before it drains or evaporates/immediately after rainfall;
