Blood tests on people who regularly smoke cigarettes show that approximately 5% of their haemoglobin carries carbon monoxide. People who smoke e-cigarettes inhale a vapour with no carbon monoxide. A person who smokes cigarette regularly switeches to e-cigarettes ad a blood test is carreid out after a month. which chemical in the blood would be found in a lower concentration in this blood test?

Carbaminohaemoglobin

Carbonic anhydrase

Carboxyhaemoglobin

Hydrogencarbonate ions

Emphysema is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People with emphysema have a very low level of plasma protein which inhibits enzyme elastase. Elastase breaks down the elastic fibres in the bronchioles and alveoli. Which affects the low levels of inhibitor in people with emphysema? (1) alveoli do not stretch and recoil properly duing inhalation and exhalation (2) blood is poorly oxygenated resulting in rapid breathing rate (3) bronchioles collapse during exhalation trapping air in the alveoli

Which row correctly describes the short-term effects of carbon monoxide and nicotine on the body of a smoker?

Which of these statements could describe the effect of carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke? (1) it binds irreversibly to haemoglobin (2) it causes mucus to accumulate in the bronchioles (3) it results in more carbon dioxide being transported in the blood (4) it temporarily increases the heart rate
