    (d) Reaction time is defined as the time taken to respond


    to a stimulus.

    During a swimming relay race, the reaction times of four


    swimmers in two teams, A and B, were recorded.

    In each team, swimmer 1 responded to the sound of the start


    gun; swimmers 2, 3 and 4 responded to seeing the previous
    swimmer touch the swimming pool wall.

    Table 2.1 shows the reaction times for the swimming relay
    teams.

    Table 2.1

    Compare the reaction time of swimmer 1 in each team with


    the reaction times of the other swimmers in each team. Use
    the information in Table 2.1 to support your answer.

    passes through the dialysis machine.

    Complete Table 3.1 using the words 'low', 'high', 'same' or


    'none' to show how the concentration of each substance
    changes in the dialysis fluid.
