(b) A person who does not smoke can be exposed to tobacco smoke from other people smoking.
Researchers studied the effect of exposure to tobacco smoke on the development of lung
cancer in three groups of women who did not smoke:
• group 1 – no exposure to tobacco smoke
• group 2 – low level exposure to tobacco smoke
• group 3 – high level exposure to tobacco smoke.
Their results are shown in Table 24.1.

27. (a) A student investigated respiration in yeast. An equal mass of yeast was added to different types
of sugar solution.
The student measured the volume of carbon dioxide released by the yeast using four different sugar
solutions with the same concentrations. The four different sugar solutions used were:
• dextrose
• lactose
• maltose
• sucrose.
Fig. 27.1 is a graph of the results.
