  • Trachea and bronchi diagram

    Specification Link

    This respiratory system diagram is used for: Describe the basic structures of the lungs that are required, including trachea, bronchi, alveoli and surrounding capillaries.

    What To Explain

    Efficient gas exchange depends on a large surface area, short diffusion distance and maintained concentration gradients.

    Exam Answer Move

    This matches the objective: Describe the basic structures of the lungs that are required, including trachea, bronchi, alveoli and surrounding capillaries. The answer should explain structure, diffusion and concentration gradients.

  • Digestive system diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases.

    What To Explain

    Digestive organs and enzymes break large insoluble food molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is tied to: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.

  • Rectum diagram

    Specification Link

    This digestive system diagram is used for: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases.

    What To Explain

    Digestive organs and enzymes break large insoluble food molecules into smaller soluble molecules that can be absorbed.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is tied to: Recall the main sites of production and action of amylase, proteases and lipases. The learner should explain digestion, enzymes or absorption.
