Material A is breaks down into B.
The volume is still the same but
differ in total surface area. TSA/V
of B is higher than A. Therefore,
the smaller the higher the value of
Longitudal section TSA/V. Food is need to be break

increase its TSA/V so that easy for
enzyme to digest.

Regulation of carbon dioxide


• Carbon dioxide in the blood is in form of carbonic acid.
• The increase of carbonic acid will increase the acidity of blood (drop of pH) and this changes
is detected by (or stimulate the) chemoreceptor of respiratory centre in medulla oblongata.
• Respiratory centre send impulses to intercostals muscle and diaphragm muscle to
increase the relaxation and contraction of muscles. Hence, the rate of breathing is
increased.
• As a result, more carbon dioxide expelled out of the body and partial pressure of carbon
dioxide in blood is decreased.
• The reduction of partial pressure will reduce the acidity (or carbonic acid) and pH value of
blood is return into normal.

Regulation of oxygen
• Partial pressure of oxygen inside the blood is detected by carotid body and aortic bodies.
• Low partial pressure of oxygen stimulate the chemoreceptor of carotid body and aortic
bodies.
• Carotid body and aortic bodies send impulses to the respiratory centre and the
breathing rate is increased.
• The increase of breathing rate will increase the partial pressure of oxygen.
• The increase of the partial pressure of oxygen, will cause the chemoreceptor not
stimulated and the breathing rate return into normal.

Respiration & Photosynthesis

LEARNING MODULE - BIOLOGY FORM 4


Photosynthesis produce glucose and oxygen that required by
respiration, and respiration produce carbon dioxide that glucose
required by photosynthesis. oxygen

In darkness photosynthesis respiration


• Photosynthesis stop and plant carry out respiration—use
oxygen and release carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide

The increase of light intensity


• The rate of photosynthesis increase due to the increase of light intensity.
• Production of oxygen will increase.
• Respiration still occur—oxygen is used and carbon dioxide is released.
• Carbon dioxide from respiration is used in photosynthesis and oxygen produced by photosynthesis
is used in respiration.

Compensation point (photosynthesis = respiration)


• All carbon dioxide produced by respiration is used in photosynthesis, while all oxygen pro-
duced by photosynthesis is used in respiration.
• At compensation point, no excess amount of oxygen because the rate of oxygen production (by
photosynthesis) is equal to the rate of oxygen usage (by respiration).
• Same condition occurs to carbon dioxide, the rate of carbon dioxide production (by respiration) is
equal to the rate of carbon dioxide usage (by photosynthesis). So, no excess amount of carbon
dioxide.
• At this point, all glucose produced by photosynthesis is used in respiration. As a result, no
excess amount of glucose for storage (starch production).
• So, the rate of photosynthesis must be higher then the rate of respiration to make sure
there are excess amount of glucose for storage in form of starch.
• Hence, the light intensity must be higher then compensation point, so that the rate of photosyn-
thesis is higher then the rate of respiration.

• Avicennia sp. (pokok api-api putih) and Sonneratia sp. (pokok perepat) are the pioneer
species in the muddy and sandy bank. This species are able to stands a high salinity, wave
and wind.
• The extensive root system traps and collects the sediment, including organic matter from
decaying plant parts. The soil become more compact and firm (kukuh).
• This condition favours the Rhizophora sp. Consequently, the Avicennia sp. and Sonneratia
sp. are replace by Rhizophora.
• The prop roots (akar jangkang) of the Rhizophora sp. traps silt (selut) and mud and
creating firmer soil.
• The ground (or bank) getting higher and less submerged by sea water.
• The soil getting firm and hard and this condition favours the Brugueira sp.
• Consequently, the Rhizophora sp. is replaced by Brugueira sp.
• The root of Brugueira sp. traps silt and mud and further modified the soil structure.
• Over the time, plants like nipah and Pandanus begin to replace the Brugueira sp.
• The gradual transition and succession from a mangrove to a terrestrial forest and
eventually to a tropical forest—a climax community.

Experiment—handling microbe

LEARNING MODULE - BIOLOGY FORM 4


Precaution—experiment involving microbe
In experiment involving microorganisms, apparatus must be free from microbe (sterile) to
prevent contamination and the validity of an experiment. Several precautions and steps have
to be taken during experiment;

1. Wash your hand using antiseptic before and after the experiment.
2. Table is cleaned by using antiseptic before and after the experiment.
3. Food not allowed in the lab.
4. Clean with antiseptic if the microbe culture is spilled.
5. After the experiment, wash all apparatus with antiseptic.
6. Don’t throw agar medium into the bin or sink. Discard by using antiseptic or burning.

Technology-Prevention of Pollution

1. Palm oil waste


• Converted into organic fertilizer (baja kompos).
• Breakdown by mikroorganism for production of methane.
• Used in palm oil plant to generate electricity.

2. Exhaust filter
• Complete the combustion of fuel by converting/changing carbon monoxide and other
hidrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water.

3. Funnel filter (penapis cerobong)


• Filters the acid rain gaseous such as nitrogen dioxide, nitrogen monoxide and sulfur
dioxide.

4. Fuel
• Using unleaded petrol.
• Using natural gas and biofuel.

5. Recycle
• Metal, paper and glass.

6. Modern equipments
• To detect the source and level of pollution.
