Lung cancer Healthy lung Smoker’s lung Cancer diagram
Specification Link
This respiratory system diagram is used for: Give a clear account of that many non-communicable human diseases are resulting from the interaction of a quantity of factors, covering cardiovascular diseases, many forms of cancer, some lung and liver diseases and diseases influenced by nutrition.

Disease or lifestyle factors can damage respiratory structures, reducing effective ventilation or gas exchange.
Exam Answer Move
This is tied to: Give a clear account of that many non-communicable human diseases are resulting from the interaction of a quantity of factors, covering cardiovascular diseases, many forms of cancer, some lung and liver diseases and diseases influenced by nutrition. A strong answer links the respiratory structure to how disease, infection or lifestyle can affect breathing or exchange.
Bacteria Spreader: practical apparatus
What Bacteria Spreader Is Used For
Bacteria Spreader is practical apparatus for handling cultures during microbiology practical work. In GCSE or introductory practical science, the annotated diagram helps connect the apparatus to the method, measurement, or observation being tested.
How To Use It In An Exam Answer
Use the marker labels to name the apparatus first, then say why it is suitable. A strong answer links bacteria spreader to handling cultures during microbiology practical work, rather than only saying that it is used in a lab.
Syllabus Link
Primary private mapping: EDEXCEL GCSE biology 1BI0, Health, disease and the development of medicines.
Common Trap
Do not describe apparatus by appearance only. Marks usually come from explaining its function in the practical method.
