Q.5) ) Fig. 5 shows a photomicrograph of a bronchus, surrounded by alveoli and other tissues, in the lung.
(a) (i) Make a large drawing of the bronchus shown in Fig. 5.1. Do not include any of the alveoli or other tissues in
your drawing. Do not label your drawing.

(ii) The diameter of the bronchus in Fig. 5.1 is shown by the line AB.

Measure the length of AB on Fig. 21.1. Include the units

length of AB on Fig. 5.1 ………………………………

The actual diameter of the bronchus in Fig. 5.1 is 1.5 mm.

The magnification of the bronchus in Fig. 5.1 can be calculated using the following

equation:

magnification = length of AB on Fig. 21.1

actual diameter of the bronchus

Calculate the magnification of the bronchus in Fig. 5.1.Give

your answer to the nearest whole number.

Space for working.


(b) A student investigated the effect of exercise on breathing rate.

The breathing rates of five people were measured at rest and after running for different periods of time. The people
rested between each period of running. The results are shown in Table 5.1.

(i) Complete Table 5.1 by calculating the average breathing rate for four minutes of running.
Space for working.

(ii) The student thought that the result for person two at six minutes was an anomaly. Suggest what
the student should do to determine if the result is anomalous.
