catalysis

c)

diffusion

d)

osmosis

13.

The diagram shows a fish in a pond.

Why does oxygen diffuse from the air into the water before reaching the fish?

a)

Oxygen is more concentrated in the air than in the water.

b)

Oxygen is more concentrated in the water than in the air.

c)

Oxygen is needed by the fish for aerobic respiration.

How does the body remove carbon dioxide from the cells?

a)

The body cells converts carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide

b)

The body cells don't expel the waste, they store them for future use

c)

The body cells expel the carbon dioxide through the use of the nucleus

d)

The carbon dioide diffuses out of the body cells and into the bloodstream due to differences in the concentration gradient
