8. Blood is a mixture of different types of cells suspended in a straw coloured liquid called plasma. The main function of blood is to: carry oxygen and nutrients to the body’ cells; remove waste products; and protect the body against infection. Different components of the blood carry out different roles.

10. Suffers of sickle cell anemia have symptoms which include tiredness caused by a lack oxygen getting to their muscles.
Level 4 / 5 :Which type of blood cell does sickle cell anemia affect. Give a reason for your answer. Level 5 /6: Describe how blood cells from a sickle cell sufferer are different. Explain why this would prevent them from performing their role effectively. Level 6/7: Suggest something apart from shape of the blood cell that might reduce its ability to transport oxygen
A “sickle” cell
Level 4 / 5 : Red blood cell (4). The role of RBC is to transport oxygen to the muscles and body tissues (5)
Level 5 / 6 : Sickle cells are crescent shape, normally RBC are biconcave (5). A change in shape reduces the surface area over which they can take up oxygen for transport (6)
Level 6 / 7 : A reduction in the level of haemoglobin / production of haemoglobin which does not work as effectively.

11. Outcomes: I can name 4 things that make up blood (level 4)

They are biconcave, this means disc shaped with a dimple on each side. This shape increases the cell’s surface area for absorbing oxygen.
