MASS TRANSPORT IN ANIMALS - AQA A LEVEL BIOLOGY + EXAM QUESTION RUN THROUGH

In this video, I explain ALL of the content required for the "Mass Transport in Animals" section for AQA A Level Biology.
This includes: haemoglobin, circulatory system, the heart, cardiac cycle (volume + pressure changes), adaptations of different blood vessels (arteries, arterioles, veins and capillaries) and the formation + return of tissue fluid. Time stamps are in the comments section.
The content in this video crosses over with other exam boards too.
I also go through a few exam questions and their mark schemes.

    I added my own with LABVRATV for left ventricle and right ventricle. Work out which ventricle is right/left by looking at first letter for each part e.g. labv is left ventricle, ratv is right.

    Don't we also need to know about heart problems, because i recall doing an exam question and my teachers talking about the problems of a baby being born with a hole in its heart. Or is it something that isn't compulsory to know but instead that we have to adapt our current understanding of the heart in order to answer that question?

    How old are the tissue fluid questions? I'm sure I've never been taught about 'outward pressure' just hydrostatic pressure

  • @muhammaduzair3482

    @muhammaduzair3482

    3 жыл бұрын

    these are relatively new I guess. Outward pressure is just the difference between the arteriole end and the tissue fluid.

  • @AlevelBiologyHelp

    @AlevelBiologyHelp

    3 жыл бұрын

    Yes, I suppose that they're relatively new, but I'm not completely sure what year they're from. Hydrostatic pressure is correct, however for this question, they want to see that you've understood the direction that the pressure acts upon. In this case, it's going outwards from the capillary, so you need to write "outward pressure".

  • @saad-bc1by
    @saad-bc1by3 жыл бұрын

    At 24:57 you said the volume increasing would cause the pressure to increase. Wouldnt it cause pressure to decrease?

  • @AlevelBiologyHelp

    @AlevelBiologyHelp

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi! In terms of hydrostatic pressure (water), increased volume causes increased pressure. This is because if there is increased volume, more water particles are present, therefore the pressure increases. It works differently to gaseous pressure! I hope this makes sense :)

  • @queenm.a707

    doesn't the presence of increased CO2 change the quaternary structure, not the tertiary structure? as its the quaternary structure that accounts for the different behavior of haemoglobin at different parts of the organism.

  • @AlevelBiologyHelp

    @AlevelBiologyHelp

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi, the quaternary structure is affected, but conformational changes (e.g. those caused by increased CO2) change the tertiary structure, as that determines the 3D shape of the protein. Hope this makes sense :)
