Short answer (5 marks per question)
1. Define the term ‘cell’.
Cell refers to the smallest unit of an organism which includes nucleus. They are generally in microscopic in size and
are the structural unit of living matter.
2. List five organelles of a cell.
 Nucleus
 Ribosomes
 Golgi apparatus
 Mitochondria
 Endoplasmic reticulum.
3. Describe the structure and function of the nucleus.
Cell nucleus are membrane bound structure and contains can control growth and reproduction along with cells
hereditary information. It controls protein and enzyme synthesis and regulate the transcription of mRNA to protein.
4. Outline the four different types of body tissue and identify their function.
There is discussion about different types of body tissue and their function.
 Connective tissue- Supports other tissue and binds together which includes bone, lymph tissue and blood.
 Epithelial tissue- It provides covering and includes skin.
 Muscle tissue- It includes striated muscles which help to move skeleton and smooth muscle.
 Nervous tissue- This carry messages to and from different parts of body.
5. Describe the process of osmosis.
Osmosis refers to the process of solvent movement though semi-permeable membrane from low concentration to
higher concentration region. In this, there is movement of water molecules from one concentration to other
concentration with presence of concentration gradient.

2. Homeostasis

MCQ
1. homeostasis
a. refers to the control of a physiological set point.
b. refers to maintaining a stable internal environment.
c. refers to maintaining a stable external environment.
d. a and b
e. a and c
Input: information sent
along afferent pathway

control centre
Receptor (sensor)
Stimulus: produces
change in variable.
Control

Output information sent along
efferent pathway to
Effector
Response of effector feeds

magnitude of stimulus and
returns variable to homeostasis

2. Hormones
a. are chemical regulators that are conveyed between organs via the
bloodstream.
b. may be secreted by endocrine glands.
c. may be secreted by nerve cells.
d. a, b, and c
3.Positive feedback
a. produces a response that enhances the initial stimulus.
b. produces no response after the initial stimulus.
c. produces a response that reduces the initial stimulus.
d. produces a response that returns the initial stimulus back to the normal
range.
4. Negative feedback
a. produces a response that enhances the initial stimulus.
b. produces no response after the initial stimulus.
c. produces a response that reduces the initial stimulus.
d. produces a response that returns the initial stimulus back to the normal
range.
5. Thermoregulation
a. refers to the control of bodily temperature.
b. is an example of a positive feedback mechanism.
c. is an example of a negative feedback mechanism.
d. a and b
e. a and c

6. Blood clotting
a. is an example of a positive feedback mechanism.
b. is an example of a negative feedback mechanism.
c. is controlled by clotting factors.
d. a and c
e. b and c
7. The area of the brain responsible for temperature control is
a. pons
b. midbrain
c. hypothalamus
d. medulla oblongata

a. pons
b. midbrain
c. hypothalamus
d. medulla oblongata
9. Blood glucose control
a. involves both hormones and nervous control.
b. is an example of a positive feedback mechanism.
c. is an example of a negative feedback mechanism.
d. a and b
e. a and c

10.Oxytocin, released in labour

Short Answer
1. Define the term ‘homeostasis’.
Homeostasis is a term that is defined as a self-regulatory process by which an organism tends to sustain its
steadiness during the adjustment to several conditions which are basically best for its living. Its example includes in
human body such as control of temperature, balance of water and electrolyte, maintenance of blood pressure and
so on.
2. Define the term ‘negative feedback’ and give one example of how it works
within the human body.
Negative feedback is defined as that basically tends to inhibit a activity by applying the results that is against the
initial conditions. One of the example of negative feedback is thermoregulation. It works when body feels the
fluctuations in temperature inside body, the central nervous system directly sends messages to hypothalamus. And
in response to message, it sends number of signals to other body parts or organs that will further respond to several
mechanisms.
3. Define the term ‘positive feedback’ and provide one example of how it
works within the human body.
Positive feedback is defined as process in which the result product of particular action that grounds more of that
action to go on in a feedback loop. Example includes regulation of blood glucose levels. In this, insulin can help the
cells to absorb glucose as a result it decreases the blood sugar and providing glucose to cells for energy. In this,
pancreas releases glucagon hormone when the level of blood sugar reduces. As glucagon can instruct liver to
liberate the stored glucose which in turn impact the blood sugar to increase.
4. List the five components that are involved in a feedback mechanism.
 input
 controlled processes
 output
 sensing elements

 controller and actuating devices.
5. Provide five examples of how the homeostatic imbalance of stress can affect
the body.
 Irregular Menstruation cycle.
 Heart related disorders such as high blood pressure, abnormal heart beats.
 Mental wellness issues such as depression, stress and so on.
 Gastrointestinal issues such as gastritis, ulcerative colitis.
 Sexual dysfunction includes loss of sexual desires, premature discharge in case of men.
