Ten years ago, a woman was found to have a high concentration of cholesterol in her blood. As
a result, she was put on a special diet. She has been on this diet ever since. Four years after
starting the diet, she started taking a drug to lower her blood cholesterol. The graph shows the
concentration of cholesterol in her blood over the ten-year period.
(b)
Describe how the concentration of cholesterol in her blood changed over the ten-year
period.

Q3.
Read the following passage.
Several diseases are caused by inhaling asbestos fibres. Most of these
diseases result from the build up of these tiny asbestos fibres in the lungs.
5
10
One of these diseases is asbestosis. The asbestos fibres are very small and
enter the bronchioles and alveoli. They cause the destruction of phagocytes
and the surrounding lung tissue becomes scarred and fibrous. The fibrous
tissue reduces the elasticity of the lungs and causes the alveolar walls
to thicken. One of the main symptoms of asbestosis is shortness of breath
caused by reduced gas exchange.
People with asbestosis are at a greater risk of developing lung cancer. The time
between exposure to asbestos and the occurrence of lung cancer is 20–30 years.
Use information in the passage and your own knowledge to answer the following questions.
(a)
Destruction of phagocytes (lines 4–5) causes the lungs to be more susceptible to
infections. Explain why.
