Ques 1: Yeast cells and human muscle cells can carry out both aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Complete the Table by writing down the end products of aerobic and anaerobic respiration in
these two types of cell.[Criteria A]

(b) During Exercise There Are Changes To:

1
 ● breathing rate;
● ventilation rate;
● oxygen absorption;
● heart rate;
● blood pressure.
The effect of strenuous exercise is shown in the table

Discuss why the changes shown in Table occur during exercise.[Criteria C]

Ques 2. The graph in Figure below shows the volume of oxygen an athlete absorbs at different
running speeds.

(i) Describe the trend shown in the Figure above. [Criterion C]

(ii) Select which uses more oxygen when the running speed of the athlete changes from 4
to 6 km per hour? [Criterion C]

2
 (1) increasing aerobic respiration

(2) increasing anaerobic respiration

(3) decreasing aerobic respiration

(4) decreasing anaerobic respiration

(iii) Explain why the athlete produces lactic acid when running at 14 km per hour. [Criterion
D]

(iv) Formulate a suitable research question for the above investigation. [Criterion B]

(v) Identify the independent and dependent variable from the graph. [Criterion B]

(vi) Suggest any two factors which should be controlled while collecting data for this
investigation. [Criterion B]

Ques 3: Niusila Opeloge from Samoa holds a Commonwealth Games record for weightlifting. He
can lift 338 kg. Weightlifting is an example of an anaerobic sport as muscles act over a short period
of time.

(a) Write down a chemical equation for anaerobic respiration in muscle.[Criteria A]

Exercise that occurs over a longer period of time than weightlifting often involves aerobic
respiration as well as anaerobic respiration.

Fig. shows the oxygen consumed by an athlete during and after a 5000 metre race.

3
(b) Describe the athlete’s oxygen consumption during and after the race as shown in

Fig. You will gain credit for using the figures in the graph to support your answer.[Criteria C]

during the race

after the race

(c)Explain why the oxygen consumption does not return immediately to the resting level after the
exercise is finished.[Criteria A]
