Hey guys. So I was going through some past papers and one questions came up about Cisternae. I wanted to find more about this in my textbook but I can't seem to find anything about it in my book. I have the A Level Biology Coursebook by Mary Jones (it's got a butterfly on the cover). If anyone has any material or the page number, it would be of great help.

Cisternae is the system of flattened memebrane-bounded sacs in the endoplasmic reticulum. Even the folded sacks for the golgi body are called cisternae.

limit of resolution is about one half of the radiation that is being used to view the specimen. In other words, if object ( that is being viewed) is any smaller than half the wavelength that is being used to view it, it can no be seen separately.
Okay but why option C is wrong?

Also,what was the answer for 'germinating seed from botanic garden every few years? i wrote in order to keep the seed germinating and or protect it from drying and thus protecting the endangered specie etc.
I answered DNA will become worse and worse every year. Also when they are grown, they can produce more and more seeds..... (Hope I'm correct)

asthma is a lung disease triggered by the inhalation of an allergen such as pollen or dust. the allergen triggers:

-bronchi and bronchioles to become inflamed and narrow
-goblet cells lining these airways to secrete excess mucus.

Which effect will these responses have on the gaseous exchange system of a person with asthma?

1. decrease the diffusion gradient for oxygen in the lungs
2. increase the diffusion distance from the alveoli into the blood
3. increase the risk of developing a lung infection

A. 1,2
B. 1,3
C. 2,3
D. 3 only

Answer please? thanks!
