Perhaps the first of its kind in the region, it is expected to be both convenient and economical for the users of this book. Solutions are generally presented in a simple but systematic way that aligns with CSEC standard and coverage of syllabus. It is also acknowledged that there would be differences of opinions amongst teachers with respect to solutions or routes leading to numerical answers. This is the nature of science. We strongly suggest that students attempt the CSEC Past Paper questions at the end of the topic rather than at the end of the syllabus. This allows the students to establish the CSEC standard at an early stage. The authors of this model answer book have vast experience in teaching the science subjects both at the CSEC and CAPE levels. At the same time they are also involved in the practical and industrial applications of the scientific principles in the various subject areas. It is hoped that this book would be highly beneficial to its users and leads to excellent exam results in the sciences. ABOUT THE AUTHORS 1) Navindra Ramsaroop (Chemistry) BSc.

(a) ARRANGEMENT OF APPARATUS TO INVESTIGATE THE RESPONSE OF LARVAE TO LIGHT (b) (i) The table should include: Total Percentage Dark side Light side 40 20 13 7 (ii) Yes, the results support the hypothesis. More larvae were found in the dark side. (iii) Two factors are: Moisture Temperature (iv) Factor – moisture Place a plastic wall under the wire gauze such that the area under the gauze is separated into halves, A and B. Place a drying agent such as silica gel under the gauze in Half A. Place an equal volume of water in Half B. Cover the entire petri dish cover with the black paper. Alternatively, vary the temperature by using warm and cold water in the two halves. (v) It helps them to avoid detection by predators. It reduces their risk of desiccation, since an area illuminated by sunlight is usually warm, encouraging evaporation of the water in their bodies. 2 (c) (d) 2. (a) (b) (c) (i) It allows maximum absorption of light by the leaves for photosynthesis, since the mesophyll layer is always at an appropriate angle for light absorption. The rate of photosynthesis is high and glucose is produced at a high rate. (ii) Test: 1) Place the plant in a dark area until its leaves show a negative test for starch. 2) Expose the plant to light for a few, e.g. six, hours. 3) Remove a leaf. Boil it in water until it is soft, boil it in ethanol until it is decolourised, dip it in hot water until it is soft, and cover its surface with iodine solution. If the iodine changes from brown to blue-black, the leaf contains starch and was photosynthesising. (iii) Water and carbon dioxide. Chlorophyll and a suitable temperature are acceptable. (i) It ensures uniform/even distribution of auxins in the root by ensuring that all sides of the root are equally subjected to the effects of gravity. (ii) Roots respond negatively and grow downwards. They obtain water and ions and also a means of anchorage from the soil. Shoots respond negatively, growing upwards. They are exposed to sunlight and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. (i) P: wall of capillary Q: erythrocyte R: lining of moisture on alveolar wall S: alveolar wall (ii) A: carbon dioxide B: oxygen (i) Diffusion (ii) It is thin – the flat cells arranged in only one layer, allowing quick diffusion Breathing moves the gases in and out of the alveoli. Inhaled air contains a high concentration of oxygen and a low concentration of carbon dioxide. This ensures that there is a steep concentration gradient of oxygen from the alveolus to the blood and a steep concentration gradient of carbon dioxide from the blood to the alveolus. 3 (d) An exercising person needs more energy and therefore has a higher rate of respiration. This causes the production of more carbon dioxide and the need to inhale more oxygen. Faster and deeper breathing will expel more carbon dioxide and take in more oxygen. (e) Carcinogens in smoke stimulate development of lung cancer. Tar and soot line the alveoli and stimulate excess mucus production, which accumulates since tar paralyses cilia. Cancer growths and mucus reduce the space available for air within the lungs. Tar forms a physical barrier between the alveolar air and the alveolar wall, reducing the efficiency of diffusion of gases and therefore, of gaseous exchange. Tar and mucus stimulate coughing, which may rupture the alveolar walls, reducing the surface area available for gaseous exchange. 3. (a) (b) (c) 4. (a) (i) I: scar of point of attachment to receptacle II: embryo III: testa IV: food store (cotyledon /endosperm for endospermic seed) (ii) It provides nutrients for development of the embryo. (i) Pea: self/explosive mechanism Coconut: water (ii) There are large air spaces within the mesocarp and seed, allowing the fruit to float on water. It has a large food store, allowing survival of the embryo during long travels on water. Alternative correct responses include the waterproof testa. (i) Self/explosive mechanism (ii) When the fruit splits along lines of dehiscence, the force generated is insufficient to send the seeds far away. They fall close to the parent plant, where they germinate and grow. In the light-dependent stage, chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light. Its energy is used for photolysis of water – it is split into hydrogen and oxygen. In the lightindependent stage, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere diffuses through stomata, intercellular spaces and into the mesophyll cells. It combines with hydrogen produced by photolysis of water to form glucose. Some of it is used to form starch. The oxygen from photolysis of water is released as a waste product. The process is summarised as: Light absorbed by chlorophyll 6CO2 6H2O C6 H12O6 6O2 4 (b) Mineral ions are absorbed from the soil by roots. Glucose is produced in photosynthesis in the leaves. Some of it is used in the synthesis of sucrose, amino acids (using the mineral ions), fatty acids and glycerol. These are loaded into the phloem and translocated to the non-green parts of the plants (sinks). On arrival at the sinks, the food is unloaded from the phloem. (c) Three factors are: The availability of materials and conditions needed for photosynthesis, e.g. water, sunlight, a suitable temperature. (If materials are unavailable, little photosynthesis is done and so little food is available for storage.) The stage of the life cycle the plant is in. (During the growing stage, plants store little food since the rate of respiration is high and food is used rapidly. After growth, when the plant reproduces, food is stored in fruits and seeds.) The presence or absence of storage organs. (Plants with storage organs tend to store more food than those without.) (d) -Pollution is reduced. Human activity (vehicle emissions, combustion in factories) produces large volumes of carbon dioxide. Plants in green spaces would absorb carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, reducing the carbon dioxide levels in the air. This reduces the rate of global warming. -Oxygen levels are increased. Oxygen is a waste product of photosynthesis and is released in the air. Humans and other animals need plants to produce this oxygen for respiration. A large number of persons need a large supply of oxygen. -Animals’ habitats are preserved. Green spaces provide animals with a space for living and provide them with their other requirements, e.g., food and water. Preservation of habitats reduces the chance of loss of biodiversity. Alternative correct responses include reduction in noise, temperature control and ecotourism, etc. 5. (a) DIAGRAM OF HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 5 (b) (i) Alternative response – the function of the small intestine (secretion of lipase, sucrase, etc.) could be described in place of one of the annotated organs (ii) - Consume protein from a variety of plants, including legumes, to increase their chance of eating all the essential amino acids. - Consume lipids from a variety of plants to increase their chance of eating all the essential fatty acids. - Use food supplements such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. to compensate for deficiency in diet. Control of the blood glucose level would be affected. The α cells of the pancreas are stimulated by low blood glucose levels (below 80 mg mL-1) to produce glucagon. This causes conversion of glycogen to glycogen and stimulates cells to absorb glucose, lowering the blood glucose level until it is at the norm. Removal of the pancreas would prevent this and hyperglycaemia and later, diabetes, would result. The β cells of the pancreas are stimulated by high blood glucose levels (above 120 mg mL-1) to produce insulin. This causes conversion of glucose to glucose, raising the blood glucose level until it is at the norm. Removal of the pancreas would prevent this and hypoglycaemia would result. (c) Plants absorb mineral and other ions from the soil. These are used in the synthesis of compounds essential for survival, growth and development of the plant, e.g.: Nitrates and sulphates (from soil) are used in amino acid synthesis (needed for growth, especially of leaves) Calcium (from soil) is used in cell wall formation Alternative examples include: Magnesium (from soil) is used in synthesis of chlorophyll Phosphorous (from soil) is needed for root development and ATP synthesis Potassium (from soil) is needed for fruit development If these ions are lacking from the soil, the plant is unable to synthesise the substances it requires and show signs of deficiency. 6 6. (a) DIAGRAMS OF UNSPECIALISED PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS (b) Nerve cells: Have elongated axons, minimising the number of cells needed to transmit an impulse over a long distance, thus minimising the number of delays associated with synapses. Are insulated by myelin sheaths at intervals, reducing the time taken for an impulse to reach the end of the nerve cell End in dendrites, allowing them to transmit impulses to and from numerous other nerve cells at the same time Alternative responses could refer to the presence of synapses and neurotransmitters, etc. (c) (i) Abiotic factors: Large volume of water/aqueous habitat Low availability of oxygen Alternative responses may include nutrient content, light intensity, temperature, etc. (ii) Large volume of water: Non-swimming animals living in a freshwater pond must overcome the problem of sinking if they are suspended in still water. Some animals such as diving beetles have fixed air bubbles on the outside of their bodies and this helps them to stay buoyant. Fishes have a swim bladder for this purpose, inside them. Low availability of oxygen: Burrowing invertebrates such as crabs and crayfish often have modified gills, such that parts of them resemble, physiologically, the mammalian lung. When oxygen levels are low, they come to the surface and extract oxygen from the air (aerial respiration). They may also be able to reduce their metabolic rate to reduce their rate of use of oxygen. There are alternative correct responses, e.g. continuous urine production by freshwater fish, etc. 7 1. (a) (i) TABLE SHOWING OBSERVATIONS MADE WHEN LEAVES OF A PLANT WERE TESTED FOR STARCH, REDUCING SUGAR, PROTEIN AND OIL Light intensity 1 Plant Plant Plant A B C Light intensity 2 Plant Plant Plant A B C Light intensity 3 Plant Plant Plant A B C Starch Reducing sugar Protein Oil (ii) It allows one to find the average of the results. The average result reduces the effect of any error which may have occurred during any of the trials of the experiment. This improves accuracy and so, reliability, of results. (b) DIAGRAM OF APPARATUS USED TO DEMONSTRATE WATER UPTAKE BY PART Z FOR USE BY PART Y 8 (c) Liver There are other/alternative correct answers such as skin, etc. (d) Since respiration is the same in both organisms, the requirements/reactants (oxygen and carbohydrate) and the products (carbon dioxide, water and heat) are the same. Perform a test on the plant and human to demonstrate that the requirements or products are the same for respiration in both organisms, e.g. carbon dioxide produced by both turns lime water milky. (e) (i) LONGITUDINAL SECTION OF THE FLOWER OF THE PLANT SPECIES (ii) The anthers are within the flower and are not within easy reach of the wind. Insects have access to them when walking on the large petals, which enclose both stigma and anthers. Any other visible feature which suggests that it is insect-pollinated or it is NOT wind-pollinated, is acceptable such as stigma not feathery or an attractive corolla, etc. 9 (f) Growth of offspring is asexual reproduction. This allows rapid production of large numbers of offspring, which quickly colonise a habitat. Growth of flowers allows sexual reproduction. This causes variation among the offspring, increasing the chance of survival of at least some of the offspring, if the environment of the plant changes. 2. (a) GERMINATING SEEDLING AT DAY 5 Other labels, such as testa, root hair, hypocotyl or epicotyl are also correct. (b) 1) 2) 3) 4) (c) (d) The seed absorbs water through the micropyle. Starch, protein and lipid stores are hydrolysed by activated enzymes. The rate of respiration increases (using glucose). The hydrolysed food (glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, glycerol) is used to synthesise plant material (cell walls, etc.) resulting in growth of plumule, radicle and root hairs. (i) Growth movement or tropism (ii) Unlike the earthworm, the seedling: Grows in different directions at the same time Grows only at meristems Other responses are correct, e.g. do not involve locomotion, is irreversible, involves growth, is slower, etc. (i) High light intensity High temperature There are other/alternative correct responses, e.g. low moisture, etc. (ii) It exposes the earthworm to higher moisture levels, reducing its chances of desiccation. It renders the earthworm less visible/invisible to its predators, decreasing its chances of being eaten. 10 3. (a) Plant materials, leaves, fruits, seeds grasshopper flycatcher bird hawk Or Plant materials, leaves, fruits, seeds caterpillar flycatcher bird hawk (b) (c) (i) Any organism after the second arrow of any of the food chains in the web is a predator (that is, the third, fourth, and higher organisms in the food chain are predators). The organism from whom the arrow points is its prey, e.g. Predator is ocelot and prey is squirrel. (ii) The predator population is smaller in numbers. The predator population has adaptations for hunting, e.g. well-developed senses of smell and sight. There are other/alternative correct responses, e.g. prey population has adaptations to escape predators, etc. (i) Relationship – parasitism A tapeworm (parasite) lives in the intestine of a pig and obtains benefits such as nutrients and a habitat which provides protection from extremes of environmental conditions. The pig (host) suffers harm such as the deprivation of its nutrients. Examples of mutualism or commensalism are alternative correct responses. (ii) Predator-prey, herbivore-producer and parasite-host relationships serve as population control measures of the prey, hosts and producers. The predators and parasites are selection pressures, causing the surviving prey and host populations to be well adapted to their environments. There are alternative correct responses, e.g. it allows use of a range of resources, it increases the chances of survival of certain species, etc. 11 4. (a) (i) THE MAIN STAGES IN THE LIFE HISTORY OF A MOSQUITO Insect vector – mosquito (ii) Control measures: Stage Egg Larva Pupa Adult Control measure Removal of likely breeding places of mosquito, e.g. stagnant water in ponds, vases, discarded tyres and other garbage which may collect water, dense vegetation (close to homes)which may collect water Use of chemicals to kill eggs Spraying of surface of water with chemical toxic to larva, e.g. insecticides Spraying of surface of water with oil or other chemical which prevents breathing of larva Introduction of organisms which feed on larva (biological control) Same measures as were outlined for larva Spraying with chemical toxic to adults, e.g. insecticides Introduction of organisms which feed on adults (biological control) 12 (b) 5. (a) (i) They are difficult to cure because the viruses are often difficult to detect because: they incorporate themselves within the DNA of their hosts remain latent for a long time (long incubation period) often adversely affect the function of the cells of the immune system, which are the cells responsible for their detection have a high mutation rate, making recognition of them difficult (immune cells which were once complementary to them may no longer be complementary) (ii) Control of HIV/AIDS is difficult because the following factors cause a high rate of infection of persons: Numerous persons are uneducated about the method of transmission of the virus. They therefore are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour, e.g. multiple partners and sexual intercourse without use of a physical barrier such as a condom to prevent transfer of body fluids. Lack of knowledge may leave persons unaware of the need for testing their blood for the presence of the virus. People are also unaware of the length of the incubation period of the virus. They may assume themselves to be virus-free if years have passed since their last risky sexual behaviour and they are yet symptom-free. They may unwittingly transfer the virus to other people. Infected persons may not be viewed favourably by their relatives or society. This causes persons to fear testing their blood for the presence of HIV. If they get tested and the result is positive, they may keep it a secret. If they are infected and engage in sexual intercourse, they may transfer the virus to their partners. Some persons have a feeling of confidence about their ability to resist infection by the virus, even if they are educated about it. They may cause them to engage in risky sexual behaviour. There are alternative correct responses, such as the infection of babies and foetuses during childbirth and pregnancy, etc. (i) The differences are due to environmental effects. The phenotype of an organism is the expression of the genotype, modified by environmental effects. These include varying availability of sunlight, water and ions. The differences among the plants demonstrate the effects of varying environmental factors on a given genotype. 13 (b) (ii) The genetic make-up under consideration is one which gives the plants desirable traits. These may include higher yield and greater resistance to disease or extreme environmental conditions such as drought or waterlogging. Plants with identical genetic constitution may be uniform in size, taste, texture, nutrient content and appearance. This uniformity is desirable when selling produce on a large scale. (iii) If the environment changes, all members of the population will be equally affected and so the population will not adapt to the environmental changes by natural selection. This may cause elimination of the entire population. In artificial selection, the traits which are deemed as desirable are determined by humans. These traits are useful to humans and not necessarily of benefit to the organisms undergoing artificial selection, e.g. dogs may be bred for extremely large muscles in the jaw area but this may cause them to have too little room for development of the trachea. The deliberate selection of organisms to be mated causes the desired changes to be effected much faster in the population than if random mating is done. In natural selection, the traits which are deemed as desirable are those which cause the organisms to be well adapted to their environment, e.g. high speed of predators. Such traits are not necessarily of benefit to humans but they ensure that the population undergoing natural selection remains adapted to the environment. Random mating of organisms causes the changes in the population to occur much slower than if the organisms with the desired traits were forced to breed with each other, as happens in artificial selection. (c) (i) Genetic engineering involves transfer of genes to members of the same or different species, since this transfer does not involve mating or pollination (as is done in artificial selection). Since gametes are not involved, DNA of somatic cells may be used in genetic engineering. In artificial selection, however, only DNA of gametes is transmitted to offspring, which are of the same species as the parent. (ii) Two concerns: There may be unpredictable outcomes. Cross-pollination or mating of a genetically modified organism with wild relatives may cause the transgene to “escape” to populations other than its target population. This may cause development of “superweeds” and “superbugs” and this could upset the balance of ecosystems, since these have a competitive advantage and will dominate their habitat. The physiology of genetically modified organisms may also be adversely affected in unforeseen ways. Some applications of genetic engineering may not be considered ethical. Whether the transfer of genes across species, the ability to determine the traits of an unborn organism and the development of 14 sterile organisms, are acceptable, are questions for which society has not yet formulated answers. There is concern about whether humans should have so much control over DNA, since it could lead to abuse of persons who do not possess the technology, money or education associated with genetic engineering. 6. (a) (i) DIAGRAM OF THE HUMAN HIND LIMB Antagonistic pairs of muscles (flexor and extensor) are attached by inelastic tendons to two bones (one of which is larger) on opposite sides of them. When the flexor muscle (e.g. the hamstring) contracts, the tendons pull on the bones and the smaller bone moves towards the larger one such that the lower leg is flexed (see diagram for location of hamstring). At the same time, the extensor muscle (e.g. the quadriceps) is relaxed, allowing flexion of the leg. Conversely, when the extensor muscle (e.g. the quadriceps) contracts, the tendons pull on the bones and the smaller bone moves towards the larger bone such that the leg is extended (see diagram for location of quadriceps). At the same time, the flexor muscle is relaxed, allowing extension of the leg. Other pairs of antagonistic muscles are attached to the pelvic bone and the femur (allowing flexion and extension of the thigh) and to the pelvic bone, femur and ankle bones (allowing lifting and lowering of the heel). 15 When the thigh, lower leg and ankle of one limb move, the hind leg can move and locomotion is possible. (b) (ii) Moment allows humans to: Find food and other requirements essential for survival Find a mate for reproduction Avoid unfavourable environments which may threaten their survival Other correct responses include: allows them to work and socialise, etc. (i) Seed dispersal may be done by: Wind Water Other correct responses are animals and self/explosive mechanism, etc. (ii) The seed coat/testa or the cotyledon(s) may be adapted: The testa may be extended into a wing-like structure or fine hairs, enabling the seed to move with the wind using a parachute mechanism. It may also be waterproof, preventing water from entering the seed. Water entry would have made the seed too heavy to move with the wind, apart from causing it to decay. The cotyledon(s) may be dry, small and light, allowing the seed to move with the wind. 16 1. (a) (b) (i) Fruits and seeds Alternative correct responses include roots, leaves, stems, etc. (ii) Carbohydrates, e.g. starch, and protein Other responses such as fats, etc. are correct. (i) Food test Crush the storage organ in water to form a suspension. Add an equal volume of Benedict’s solution and mix. Warm the mixture and observe colour change. Crush the storage organ in water to form a suspension. Add an equal volume of NaOH and a few drops of CuSO4 (e.g., 4 drops to 5mL of mixture) and mix. Observe colour change. Crush the storage organ in water to form a suspension. Place a few drops of the suspension on white tile. Add an equal number of drops of I2/KI (aq) and observe colour change (ii) Conclusion Reducing sugar present is Protein is present Starch is present It contains carbohydrate (reducing sugar and starch), which provides a significant amount of glucose (when digested). Glucose is the main substrate for respiration, which provides energy. A teenage boy needs a lot of energy for growth and development of secondary sexual characteristics. It contains protein. Protein is needed for tissue repair and synthesis of new cells and muscle, all of which occur at high rates in a growing boy. (iii) The storage organ contain does not contain all the essential amino acids. It also lacks vitamins, minerals and lipids. The boy needs all of these and so will show signs of deficiency. He may also eat too much of the storage organ and develop obesity, which is also a sign of malnourishment. 17 (c) Emulsion test: Crush the storage organ in a small volume of water to form a suspension. Add an equal volume of ethanol and mix the contents of the test tube. Add an equal volume of water to the tube and mix the contents. If fats are present, a solution (transparent) will be formed on addition of the ethanol. A cloudy emulsion appears on addition of the water, which later settles as two layers. Grease spot test: Rub a sample of the storage organ on grease-proof paper. If fats are present, a translucent area appears on the paper. (d) 2. (a) Liver and Adipose tissue Alternative correct responses include muscle and the subcutaneous layer beneath the dermis of the skin, etc. (i) COMPONENTS OF PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS Component Plant Cell Animal Cell Cell membrane Cell walls present absent Nuclei Mitochondria present present Chloroplasts present (b) (ii) Mitochondrion: it is the site of aerobic respiration, providing ATP for cells. Chloroplast: it is the site of photosynthesis, converting light energy into chemical energy. (i) Osmosis (ii) It allows water to enter cells, where it: Dissolves enzymes and reactants, acting as a medium for metabolic reactions Absorbs heat, thus cooling the plant Causes the protoplasm to expand, causing cell turgidity (iii) Turgid cells prevent leaves and stems from drooping, allowing the plant to stay upright and the leaves to have maximum surface area for light absorption. 18 (iv) 3. (a) (b) Intake of water causes the protoplasm of cells to expand slightly. In plant cells, this causes the cell membrane to push against the cell wall. Being inelastic, the cell wall resists this push (turgor pressure) and prevents the cell membrane from bursting. Animal cells have no cell wall to resist the slight expansion of the protoplasm, so they increase in volume until they burst. Tertiary consumer: any one of hawk or blue jay (only if the spider is listed among the secondary consumers) Secondary consumer: any two of spider, blue jay, woodpecker Primary consumer: any two of caterpillar, ant, termite, butterfly (i) Fungi and bacteria (ii) They allow recycling of materials. When organisms die or shed structures, their complex organic compounds are broken down by decomposers to simple inorganic ions, which plants roots’ can absorb. When animals eat plants, the materials are transferred to other trophic levels and assimilated into the bodies of organisms as complex organic compounds once more. (c) - Competition - Reproduction Alternative correct answers are: irritability, availability of habitat/shelter, etc. (d) - pH of soil - availability of water - temperature Alternative responses include light intensity, wind direction, wind speed, etc. 19 4. (a) (i) DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM 1) Oxygen diffuses into blood in the alveolar capillaries. 2) The oxygenated blood flows in the pulmonary vein to the left side of the heart and enters the left atrium. 3) It flows through the bicuspid valve to the left ventricle. 4) It leaves the left ventricle and enters the aorta. 5) The aorta divides into several arteries, with one artery transporting blood to each organ. 6) Within the organ, the blood flows through the artery, arterioles and capillaries. The oxygenated blood is now close to organs and tissues. 20 (ii) 1) 2) 3) 4) Oxygenated blood is in the capillary bed of tissues. Blood plasma leaves the capillaries, forming tissue fluid. Oxyhaemoglobin (in red blood cells) dissociates, releasing oxygen. Oxygen diffuses into the tissue fluid, creating a concentration gradient from the tissue fluid to the respiring cells. 5) Oxygen diffuses across the cell membrane of the muscle cells, where it is available for aerobic respiration. (b) (c) 5. (a) (b) (i) - It requires oxygen - A lot of energy is produced (32 ATP per glucose molecule) Alternative response: Carbon dioxide is produced (ii) Less energy is produced as ATP. The rest of the chemical energy of glucose is used in the formation of lactic acid. The energy of lactic acid is unavailable to cells. Lactic acid also causes muscle cramp and fatigue. Transport vessels in both plants and animals: - Are hollow tubes. The lumen allows unimpeded flow of materials. - Form an extensive network throughout the organism, ensuring that all cells are close to the transport system. Alternative responses include adaptations of the walls to extreme pressure, etc. Disease: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Pathogen: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (i) Mode of action of vaccine: 1) A vaccine introduces weakened antigens into the blood of a person. 2) The antigens bind to their complementary B-lymphocyte, them to divide repeatedly. 3) Some B-lymphocytes secrete antibodies and eventually die. Antibodies destroy the antigens or pathogens. Some Blymphocytes persist in the bloodstream (memory cells). 4) The memory cells are a population of B-lymphocytes which is large enough to cause such a quick and large immune response (antibody secretion) on subsequent infection of the individual with the pathogen, that the person shows no signs or symptoms of the disease. The person is immune to the disease. (ii) A vaccine may not be effective because: The pathogen may have a high mutation rate. Memory cells produced as a result of vaccination may not be complementary to the antigens of the mutated pathogens and would not bind to them. 21 The target of the pathogen may be the lymphocytes themselves. If these are destroyed by the pathogens, they will be unable to execute the immune response. Alternative responses include the possibility of allergic reactions to the vaccines, etc. (c) (i) This is done if: The plants reproduce asexually. All the plants will have the same genotype and will be equally susceptible to the disease. It is likely that all the plants will be infected. No chemicals are available for destruction of the pathogen. If the plants are destroyed, there is a possibility that the pathogens will be destroyed inside them. The high reproduction rate of pathogens means that the neighbouring fields may be later infected, since the plants in those fields are stationary and unable to move away from the infected ones. Destruction of a field may prevent infection of non-infected fields. (ii) Social: Shortage of food, causing malnutrition in the population Increased likelihood of crime as persons may resort to theft or violence to obtain food Economic: Loss of income for farmers or the country Increased expenditure on measures needed to eradicate the disease Alternative responses are acceptable such as famine and increased debts for the country as they would have to seek food from elsewhere, etc. 6. (a) A gene is a length of DNA, in a particular locus on a chromosome, which codes for a specific polypeptide. It causes an organism to possess a particular trait, e.g. blood group. An allele is one of the alternative forms of a gene. It causes an organism to possess a specific version or form of the trait, e.g. possession of IA alleles will cause a person to be of blood group A. Alleles may be dominant or recessive. 22 (b) (i) PP or Pp (ii) Let P represent the allele for purple flowers Let p represent the allele for white flowers Parental phenotype purple X purple Parental genotype Pp Pp Gametes (P) and (p) (P) and (p) Random fertilisation (P) (p) (P) PP Pp (p) Pp pp Offspring genotype PP Offspring phenotype purple purple Offspring phenotypic ratio Pp 3 purple Pp pp purple white : 1 white Each plant has a 1 in 4 chance of producing white flowers. (c) The phenotype is the physical expression of the genotype, modified by environmental effects. Some environmental influences can be quite large and cause large deviations from the genotype-determined phenotype. If organisms of identical genotype are exposed to different environmental influences, their resulting phenotypes may be different from each other. “Different environmental influences” refer to variation in factors such as temperature, nutrient availability, exposure to pathogens, etc. 23 1. (a) (i) Write a self-explanatory title, e.g. DISTANCE DYE TRAVELLED UP CELERY STALKS A AND B WHEN EXPOSED TO VARYING TEMPERATURE. Label each axis: distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis. Include the units on each axis. Plot the points accurately and visibly. Use scales for the axes such that maximum use is made of the graph paper. DISTANCE DYE TRAVELLED UP CELERY STALKS A AND B WHEN EXPOSED TO VARYING TEMPERATURES 24 (ii) The rate of transpiration was slower in stalk A because it was exposed to less wind and heat. (b) To investigate the effect of wind speed on the rate of transpiration. OR To investigate the effect of temperature/heat on the rate of transpiration. (c) The stalk in Flask A is the control. (d) The rate of transpiration increases with wind speed OR the rate of transpiration increases with temperature. (e) Water enters the root hairs of the epidermis by osmosis (down a water potential gradient and across the partially permeable cell membrane). It then moves by osmosis across the cortex cells towards the middle of the root and enters the root xylem by osmosis. Water is then pulled up the xylem from root through stem to leaf by capillarity (adhesion to xylem walls and cohesion to other water molecules) and due to the transpiration pull caused evaporation of water from mesophyll cells into intercellular spaces. The evaporated water diffuses out of the leaf through stomata, down a concentration gradient. Note that the physical processes must be described, not merely the route of the water. (f) The protoplasm and cross-walls of xylem are degenerated, forming hollow continuous tubes for the unimpeded flow of water. Xylem vessels are narrow, allowing water flow by capillarity. Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. lignification of tubes, etc. (g) The water carried through the plant by transpiration contains dissolved minerals which are needed by the plant. Evaporation of water from leaves removes heat, cooling the plant. Transpiration causes water uptake, needed as a reagent in photosynthesis and hydrolysis reactions. Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. allows maintenance of turgidity for support, etc. (h) Phloem tissue transports sucrose (made from glucose formed by photosynthesis). (i) Difference: The heart’s pumping action, muscles and valves in veins effect blood flow in mammals. These are absent in plants. Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. separate tubes exist in plants for transport of water and sucrose, etc. Similarities: A network of tubes is present throughout the organism, containing the transport medium. A force / mechanism operates to move the transport medium (transpiration pull / pumping of heart). Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. water is the solvent / medium for transported materials, etc. 25 2. (a) (b) (c) 3. (a) (b) (i) It is necessary for the oxidation of food with the release of energy usable by the body’s cells/ATP. (ii) C6 H12O6 6O2 6CO2 6H2O 32 ATP (iii) Respiration (iv) Mitochondrion (i) His rate of breathing and blood circulation was insufficient to inhale and deliver the increased amount of oxygen for the increased respiration rate done by exercising muscles. (ii) Lactic acid (iii) It causes pain and fatigue, decreasing his rate of running. It may cause him to stop running if lactic acid production is high enough. (i) Anaerobic respiration OR alcoholic fermentation (ii) Glucose is only partly oxidised, hence, a small amount of energy is produced. No oxygen is used. Carbon dioxide and ethanol are produced. They do photosynthesis: they trap solar energy and convert it to chemical energy (a form of energy which can be used by living organisms). (i) A – Herbivores OR primary consumers B – Carnivores OR secondary consumers (ii) Example: Ocelot Role: It acts as an agent of natural selection of the herbivores, preventing overpopulation and ensuring that the population remains “fit”. It transfers energy from the second trophic level to the fourth. (iii) Example: Putrefying bacterium OR Putrefying fungus Carbon dioxide: It uses the dead body/body part of an organism as its substrate for respiration. This process releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (iv) Decomposers return materials from all trophic levels to the soil, allowing their cyclic uptake by plants (they are then re-used). There is no process for returning energy to lower trophic levels. 26 (c) In the diagram, be sure to include the four points / stages, that is, AIR, SOIL / WATER, PLANTS and ANIMALS. There must be at least one arrow going to each stage (adding nitrogen to it) and one arrow leaving each stage (removing nitrogen from it). The names of the processes adding and removing nitrogen should be written on the arrows. The processes should include four of: Nitrification: NH3 or NH4+ NO2- NO3- in Soil/Water Denitrification: NO3- in Soil/Water N2 in Air Nitrogen fixation: N2 in Air NH3 /NH4+/NO3– in Soil/Water Ammonification /decomposition: Plants or Animals —› NH3/NH4+ in Soil/Water Ingestion: Plants Animals DIAGRAM OF THE NITROGEN CYCLE (d) 4. (a) Rhizobium does nitrogen fixation. Other examples are acceptable e.g. Nitrosomonos and Nitrobacter does nitrification, etc. Numerous stomata are located adjacent to the intercellular spaces for inward diffusion of carbon dioxide and outward diffusion of oxygen. An extensive network of vascular bundles, containing xylem, adequately supplies mesophyll cells with water. 27 (b) (i) Drawing must illustrate: lamina, petiole, main vein Must be of a reasonable size (at least two-thirds of the allotted space in length.) Lines must be drawn to show green and non-green areas and these must be labelled Appropriate title e.g. : DRAWING OF DORSAL VIEW OF VARIEGATED LEAF DIAGRAM SHOWING THE DISTRIBUTION OF GREEN AND NONGREEN AREAS OF A LEAF (ii) Write “changes colour” next to the label for the green part of the leaf. (iii) Yellow-brown to blue-black (c) In photosynthesis, chlorophyll traps light energy. This light energy is used to synthesise glucose molecules. The light energy is converted to the chemical energy of glucose. Glucose is then converted to starch. The presence of starch in a leaf therefore indicates that photosynthesis occurred. Starch was found to be present only in the green areas of the leaf, that is, only in the areas containing chlorophyll. This indicates that chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis. (d) Some glucose made in photosynthesis (in green areas of leaves) is converted to sucrose. This is loaded into phloem and translocated to non-chlorophyll containing parts, such as storage organs. The sucrose is unloaded from the phloem and converted to starch in these parts. 5. (a) Urea and sodium chloride. Other examples are acceptable such as salt and water. 28 (b) The length of the drawing should occupy at least two-thirds of the allotted space and should be in proportion. Labels should include: Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, Loop of Henle, Distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. Label Glomerulus Bowman’s capsule Annotation in Ultrafiltration of blood causes small soluble substances from blood plasma to enter the lumen of the nephron in the capsule Proximal convoluted Selective reabsorption of all glucose, amino acids, tubule vitamins and a lot of the water and sodium chloride (and other salts) Loop of Henle Reabsorption of water Distal convoluted Reabsorption of water and salts if necessary (controlled tubule by ADH secretion) DIAGRAM OF A KIDNEY TUBULE (c) A diabetic patient’s blood glucose level is so high that the glomerular filtrate will contain very high levels of it. The surface area of the proximal convolution will be insufficient to reabsorb all of the glucose. Other parts of the nephron are not adapted to reabsorb glucose. The glucose which was not absorbed by the proximal convolution will therefore be present in the urine. The blood pressure of the glomerulus is high. It will be even higher in a patient with hypertension. It may be so high that the glomerular capillaries may rupture. Since ultrafiltration is done by these capillaries, if they are ruptured then large substances such as blood cells will pass, unimpeded, into the glomerular filtrate. 29 The nephron has no mechanism to reabsorb blood cells and so they appear in the urine. Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. the presence of kidney stones, etc. 6. (a) (i) Category Pathogenic Nutritional deficiency Hereditary Physiological Example HIV / AIDS Scurvy Haemophilia Diabetes (ii) Treatment of pathogenic disease (HIV / AIDS) Use of antiretroviral medication to decrease activity of pathogen Use of medication to alleviate signs and symptoms, e.g. fever reducers Education of patient about disease Treatment of physiological disease (Diabetes) No pathogen involved Control of pathogenic disease (HIV /AIDS) Education of public about disease Preventative measures such as limited number of sexual partners, testing of persons for presence of HIV, use of condoms during sexual intercourse Attempts to develop vaccine against pathogen Control of physiological disease (Diabetes) Education of public about disease Preventative measures such as control of body weight and a diet of high fibre and less carbohydrate and fat No vaccine involved Use of medication to alleviate signs and symptoms, e.g. insulin Education of patient about disease No dietary modification may be Modification to diet, e.g. reduced necessary carbohydrate intake (b) (i) Genetic engineering is manipulation of genes which involves their transfer from one organism (donor) to another (genetically modified organism – which is not necessarily of the same species as the donor), resulting in its altered genotype and phenotype. (ii) Ethical concern – Members of society has different views of whether humans should transfer genes across species, determine the features of offspring (in particular, human offspring) or determine which features should be deemed acceptable enough to perpetuate in organisms. The concern is whether there are manipulative boundaries that humans should not defy. 30 Social concern – Genetically engineered crops and animals are likely to be expensive because of their superior characteristics. These may also be engineered to be sterile, so that farmers must continue to purchase stock from the research companies. Some farmers may not be financially able to do so, especially in developing countries. Ecological concern – Transferred genes may “escape” to wild relatives by cross-pollination. These may develop the superior characteristic of the gene and have a tremendous selective advantage. Their populations may soar and they may outcompete other plant species as well, disrupting the natural mechanisms of population control. This may decrease the biodiversity of the ecosystem and so disrupt the balance which is necessary for its self-sustainability. Other valid points are acceptable, e.g. the unknown effects of genetic modification on plant and animal health. 31 1. (a) (b) (i) Apparatus and materials: Potato, sugar solutions of concentration 0.5M, 1.0M, 1.5M, 2.0M and 0.0M (distilled water), blotting paper, forceps, knife, balance, measuring cylinders or large syringes, 5 Petri dishes, stopwatch (ii) Method: 1) Measure equal volumes of sugar solution of each concentration (including water only) into appropriately labelled Petri dishes. 2) Cut the potato into 20 strips of dimensions such that each weighs 2.0g. Weigh each strip. 3) Place 4 strips in each Petri dish such that they are submerged and cover them. 4) Calculate the average weight of the strips in each Petri dish. 5) After 20 minutes, remove the strips, blot them rapidly, weigh them and calculate the average weight of the strips in each dish. TABLE 1: AVERAGE WEIGHT OF POTATO STRIPS AFTER IMMERSION IN DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF SUGAR SOLUTION Concentration of sugar solution / M 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 (c) Average weight of strips / g 3.0 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.6 (i) The weight increased because water moved from a region of higher water concentration (external water) to an area of lower water concentration (potato cells). (ii) Less than 1.0M: The weight increased because water moved from a region of higher water concentration (external solution) to an area of lower water concentration (potato cells). More than 1.0M: The weight decreased because water moved from a region of higher water concentration (potato cells) to an area of lower water concentration (external solution). 32 (iii) Osmosis (iv) The time allowed for osmosis may have varied among the strips since it takes time to place 20 strips in the various dishes. Alternative responses include variation in weight and inaccuracy of concentration of sugar solutions during preparation, etc. (d) (i) As the animal cell gains water, the internal pressure increases and protoplasm expands until the cell membrane bursts. Unlike the animal cell, the plant cell has a tough inelastic cell wall which resists and limits the expansion of the protoplasm, preventing it from bursting. (ii) As both plant and animal cells lose water, their protoplasm shrink. The cell membrane of the plant cell now becomes visible as it pulls away from the cell wall. The protoplasm shrinks less than in the animal cell because the cytoplasm is continuous with plasmodesmata. (e) Diffusion or Active transport (f) - To remove waste materials from cells for excretion - To obtain materials for growth, respiration, assimilation or any other cellular process 2. (a) A: stomach B: small intestine C: large intestine/colon D: liver E: pancreas (b) - It is long: it provides a large surface area for digestion - It contains numerous villi: they provide a large surface area for absorption of food - Its villi contain numerous capillaries: blood flow maintains a concentration gradient for digested food Alternative responses include compartmentalisation, thin walls of villi, etc. (c) - Teeth vary in size and shape: different ones are used for different food types. - A wide variety of enzymes are secreted: digestion of different food types is possible. - The gut is longer and more complex than that of carnivores (meat is easily digested) but shorter and simpler than that of herbivores (some plant matter remains undigested – roughage). Alternative responses include maintenance of different pH levels at different areas of the gut, facilitating the action of a variety of enzymes, etc. 33 (d) (i) Liver: production of bile for emulsification of fat Pancreas: production of digestive enzymes trypsin, lipase and pancreatic amylase (ii) - Impaired digestion due to insufficient production of enzymes - Impaired regulation of blood glucose level due to insufficient/too much production of insulin and /or glucagon 3. (a) Parental phenotypes Male Female Parental genotypes (i) XY Gametes genotypes (ii) (X) and (Y) (iii) (X) Offspring genotypes (iv) XY and XX Offspring phenotypes (b) (i) DIAGRAM OF A FLOWER (ii) Meiosis: Homologous chromosomes pair up, allowing crossing over to occur within the bivalents. The bivalents attach to spindle fibres and are separated, with one member of each homologous pair going to a daughter cell of the first division. Each daughter cell has the haploid number of chromosomes. Chromosomes attach to spindle fibres and are separated, with each sister chromatid going to a daughter cell of the second division. These daughter cells are haploid gametes. (iii) Four chromosomes 34 (c) - It maintains the chromosome number across all generations of a sexually reproducing population. - It causes variation among offspring, increasing the chances of survival of the population when the environment changes. (d) Parental phenotype red flower Parental genotype Gametes X white flower Rr rr (R) and (r) (r) Random fertilisation (R) (r) (r) Rr rr Offspring genotype (e) 4. (a) Rr Offspring phenotype red flower Offspring phenotypic ratio 1 red rr white flower : 1 white The differences illustrate environmental variation – they occur because the plants were grown in different environments, e.g. varying exposure to light, water, nutrients or were in different soil types. Photosynthesis occurs in two stages and is summarised as: light absorbed by chlorophyll 6CO2 6H2O C6 H12O6 6O2 First/light dependent stage: Chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light. Photolysis of water (absorbed from soil) occurs, using light energy: it is split into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen produced diffuses through stomata as a waste product. Second/light independent stage: Carbon dioxide diffuses from the atmosphere through stomata, then intercellular spaces, into mesophyll cells. Carbon dioxide combines with hydrogen to produce carbohydrate (glucose). The light energy is converted to the chemical energy of glucose. 35 (b) DIAGRAM OF EXTERNAL FEATURES OF A LEAF SHOWING ADAPTATIONS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS Only three annotations are necessary. Alternative correct responses include: Green parts of leaf- contain chlorophyll for light absorption. Veins- form a “skeleton” which allows the leaf to remain flat for light exposure. Cuticle- transparent (allows penetration of light) and waterproof (reduces water loss, conserves it for photosynthesis.) (c) (d) (i) Decomposers (ii) - Decomposers do heterotrophic nutrition (they obtain organic compounds from other organisms) while photosynthesis is autotrophic nutrition (organic compounds are synthesised by the plant for its use). - Decomposition is the degradation of complex insoluble organic compounds to simple, ions or molecules, while photosynthesis is the synthesis of complex organic compounds from simple molecules. Advantages: Some excretory products are stored in leaves. When these leaves fall, the excretory products are removed from the plant. Leaf fall reduces the number of stomata available for transpiration. Reduced transpiration rates conserve water. Alternative responses include return of nutrients to soil (for subsequent use by plants) after decomposition, reduction of rate of soil erosion, etc. Disadvantages: There is a reduced surface area available for photosynthesis (reduced chlorophyll, stomata for diffusion of gases, etc.) There is reduced surface area available (reduced number of stomata) for gaseous exchange associated with respiration. 36 Alternative responses include reduced uptake of mineral salts associated with reduced transpiration rate, etc. 5. (a) DIAGRAM OF THE HEART’S STRUCTURE (b) (i) During diastole, blood flows into the atria. During atrial systole, the atria contract. The atrial pressure increases, pushing open the bicuspid and tricuspid valves and blood enters the ventricles. (Blood leaves the left atrium and enters the left ventricle via the bicuspid valve). During ventricular systole, the ventricles contract. The ventricular pressure increases, shutting the bicuspid and tricuspid valves and pushing open the semilunar valves at the start of the aorta and pulmonary artery. (Blood leaves the left ventricle and enters the aorta via the semilunar valves.) Blood flows along the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Blood flows along the aorta, then along arteries supplying blood to the organs (aorta branches into smaller arteries). Vaccines contain weakened/altered or dead antigens of pathogens. Vaccination is used to prevent the spread of pathogenic diseases by stimulating production of memory cells which are effective (stimulate production of antibodies) against a particular pathogen. They are ineffective against organ malfunction unless the malfunction is caused by an infection. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels are usually not caused by the entry of pathogens. They are caused by (or their likelihood is increased by) diets which are high in salt or saturated fat, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking and high levels of stress. Some defects are congenital (present at birth).These factors may cause the heart and blood vessels to malfunction. 37 (ii) A patient is susceptible to infections following surgery it involves a significant amount of cutting of skin and tissue. Pathogens are likely to enter the wound. The immune system responds to pathogen entry (infection) by stimulating production of white blood cells (phagocytes and B-lymphocytes). Phagocytes engulf pathogens and digest them. B-lymphocytes are stimulated to divide upon binding to their complementary antigens (of pathogens). This eventually stimulates production of antibodies, which destroy pathogens or neutralise their toxins. These reactions of the immune response lower the probability of proliferation of pathogens which enter at the site of the surgery. 6. (a) (i) A community is the collection of all the members of all the species living in a particular ecosystem or habitat. A habitat is the place where an organism lives and fulfils its ecological niche, e.g. a pond. (ii) Sampling a forest: A quadrat is thrown randomly and all plants of the species of interest which are found within it are counted / recorded. This is done multiple times and the data is used to estimate the density/species cover/frequency of the species. A line transect is pegged along the ground/soil in a straight line and all plant species touching it are recorded/counted. This shows how the abundance of the species of interest varies across the area. Only one method should be described. Sampling a pond: A pond net is swept or dragged under the surface of the water. The organisms caught in the trap of the net are transferred to a bottle or jar. The sweep and collection of organisms is repeated multiple times at varying depths or areas of the pond. The number and type of organisms collected are recorded. 38 (b) (i) Relationship Parasitism e.g. wild duck and intestinal worm Predator-prey Partner 1 Partner 2 Host suffers harm and gains Parasite gains no benefit suffers no harm e.g. The duck is deprived of its products of digestion (nutrients) as the worm absorbs some. benefit and e.g. The worm (parasite) gains benefits such as a supply of nutrients and protection from extreme environmental conditions, e.g. lack of moisture or high temperature. It confers no benefit to the duck. Predator hunts, kills and eats Prey is eaten by the predator its prey and so, it is the means of transfer of energy to the higher e.g. The lizard kills and eats trophic level. the earthworm, gaining its nutrients from a lower trophic e.g. The earthworm is food for level. the lizard. Examples of alternative feeding relationships may be described, such as mutualism, etc. (ii) A food web: (iii) Keskidee (iv) Disruption may result from: Change in environmental conditions, e.g. reduced water supply in a drought This may cause some organisms to be almost or totally eliminated from the ecosystem. This in turn, leads to increase in numbers of their prey and a decrease in numbers of their predators. These changes will cause further changes in the populations of other species. If the numbers of a species decrease, their niches, e.g. 39 pollination, dispersal of seeds, may not be adequately fulfilled by the few remaining members (if any remain). Introduction of pathogens to the ecosystem This causes the incidence of disease in certain species. The species may be totally eliminated from the ecosystem. If some survive, it would take time to replenish the original number of organisms. During this time, their niches may not be adequately fulfilled by other species. This may threaten the survival of yet other species. Alternative correct responses include pollution, causing destruction of microorganisms, threatening the cycling of nutrients or migration of species, removing food supplies or predators (which are a means of population control) from the ecosystem. 40 1. (a) (i) TEMPERATURE/0C RATE OF PRODUCTION OF REDUCING SUGAR/mg min-1 15 20 25 35 35 45 40 35 TABLE SHOWING EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON RATE OF AMYLASE ACTIVITY (ii) Enzyme activity increases steadily with temperature to a maximum of 45 mg min-1 of reducing sugar at 35°C. As temperature increased beyond this, enzyme activity decreased sharply to less than 5 mg min-1 at 55°C. (iii) The enzyme is denatured. Being a protein, its three-dimensional structure is altered at high temperatures. This distorts its active site, making it is no longer complementary to its substrate. (b) Experiment: 1) Measure 10.0mL of buffer solutions of different pH values (e.g. 2, 5, 7, 9, 14) into appropriately labelled test tubes. 2) Add 10.0mL of starch suspension to each tube. 3) Add 4.0mL of amylase to each tube. Mix the contents and record the time. 4) At two-minute intervals, remove 1.0mL of the mixture from each tube. Test this sample for the presence of reducing sugar (mix with 1.0mL of Benedict’s solution, warm, record weight of precipitate). 5) Plot, on graph paper, weight of precipitate against pH. The gradient of the curve shows how the rate of breakdown of starch varies with pH. Alternatively, the rate of breakdown of starch could be measured. (c) (i) Mouth and duodenum (ii) Amylase (swallowed in the bolus) is denatured by the acidic conditions of the stomach. Amylase works under alkaline conditions. (iii) Pepsin Alternative answer – rennin 41 (d) 2. (a) (i) Seed, fruit and leaf Alternative answer – storage organ (ii) Starch is hydrolysed to maltose using amylase. The maltose is converted to sucrose, which is easily transported in the phloem to other parts. (iii) It eliminates the need for continuous manufacture of food (photosynthesis). Alternative responses may refer to periods of unfavourable conditions for photosynthesis, synthesis of structures associated with reproduction (fruits, seeds, storage organs, etc.) or growth of an embryo during germination. (i) Name of A: humerus Function of A: allows movement of limb by acting as a lever Name of B: ligament Function of B: attaches humerus to ulna/radius, preventing dislocation during movement Name of C: synovial fluid Function of C: provides lubrication during movement and absorbs shock (ii) DIAGRAM OF A HINGE JOINT (b) Loss of cartilage results in loss of absorption of shock. The force associated with mechanical impact is transmitted directly to bones, causing joint pain. Loss of the smooth cartilage results in the ends of the bones rubbing against each other, eroding them painfully. 42 (c) The triceps point of origin is at the scapula and is inserted at the ulna. The biceps originates at the scapula and is inserted at the radius. The biceps and triceps are antagonistic muscles. When the biceps contracts, the triceps relaxes and the ulna and radius are raised as a lever, raising the lower arm. When the triceps contracts, the biceps relaxes and the ulna and radius are lowered as a lever, lowering the lower arm. (d) Blood cells are produced in the bone marrow of the limb bones and the ribs. Replacement of bone marrow involves replacement of blood-making tissue. This would eliminate the disease if the condition is related to the production of malfunctioning blood cells. 3. (a) Name of A: cell wall Function of A: protects the cell from intake of excess water (and therefore, from bursting) Alternative response – maintains shape of cell by resisting turgor pressure Name of B: chloroplast Function of B: traps light energy and converts it to chemical energy in photosynthesis (b) DIAGRAM OF PLANT CELL IN CONCENTRATED SALT SOLUTION (c) Plasmolysed guard cells cause stomata to close, preventing entry of carbon dioxide and transpiration. Cessation of transpiration slows or stops uptake of water. If hydrogen (from water) and carbon dioxide are not available to combine to produce glucose, photosynthesis is reduced or stopped. Alternative response - Plasmolysed cells cause wilting of the leaf, reducing the surface available for light absorption. 43 (d) (i), (ii), (iii) Feature Vacuole Plant cell Animal cell large, central, permanent small, no fixed location, temporary Chloroplast present absent Cell wall present absent 4. (a) (b) (i) A gene is a length of DNA which codes for production of a particular polypeptide. An allele is one of the possible/alternative forms of a gene. (ii) A genotype is the combination of alleles which an organism possesses for the genes it contains. The phenotype is the physical expression of the genotype, sometimes modified by environmental effects. (iii) Dominant is a description of allele if it is expressed in the phenotype once it is present in the genotype, regardless of the presence of recessive alleles (homozygous or heterozygous). Recessive is a description of an allele which is expressed in the phenotype provided it is the only type of allele present in the genotype (homozygous).

(a) (b) Insect vector – mosquito The first stage is the Egg. The immature offspring develop inside the eggs. The eggs hatch, releasing the Larvae, or second stage. These are aquatic, feeding and growing at a rapid rate. Their outer covering then forms a capsule. This is the third stage and they are called Pupae. Within the pupae, their bodies degenerate and are reorganised to form adult mosquitoes. When this development is complete, the fourth stages, or Imago/Adults, emerge from the pupal cases. Physiological disease: diabetes Pathogenic disease: AIDS Diabetes is not transmitted from one person to another. One may inherit a genetic predisposition for the disease, but this does not mean that it is certain that the person will develop the disease. A person is more likely to develop diabetes from lifestyle habits such as consumption of foods high in carbohydrates and lipids, a sedentary lifestyle and other habits which may encourage obesity. Any factor which causes malfunction of the pancreas (e.g. destruction by one’s own immune system) can cause the development of diabetes. AIDS is transmitted when the HIV pathogen leaves one person (infected person) and enters another (new patient) by the introduction of body fluids such as blood or semen. This may happen during sexual intercourse, use of contaminated needles or unscreened blood transfusions. 45 (c) Disease Coronary heart disease (physiological) Treatment 1-Insertion of stents or other devices to increase the diameter of blood vessels (surgery) 2-Use of medication to remove the plaque lining blood vessels The purpose of these measures is to correct the malfunction, if possible, or alleviate the suffering of the patient if correction is not possible. Malaria (pathogenic) 1-Use of medication containing quinine to kill the malarial pathogen 2-Use of drugs to reduce signs and symptoms, e.g. fever reducers The purpose of these measures is to kill the pathogen, if possible, or alleviate the suffering of the patient if it is not possible. Control 1-Education of the public about the risk factors and nature of heart disease 2-Avoidance of food with a high content of saturated fat 3-Engagement in regular exercise 4-Avoidance of food with a high salt content 5-Activites/strategies for reduction of a stressful lifestyle 6-Avoidance of smoking The purpose of these lifestyle measures is to reduce the chances of healthy persons developing the condition. 1-Covering the surface of water with a chemical toxic to eggs, larvae or pupae, e.g. oil prevents their gaseous exchange 2-Removal of breeding grounds of mosquito, e.g. draining stagnant water 3-Use of insecticide sprays and traps to kill adult mosquitoes 4-Use of clothing to cover arms, legs, etc. 5-Use of prophylactic drugs, e.g. doxycycline, to prevent malarial infections 6-Education of the public about the risk factors and nature of malaria 6-Prevention of infected persons coming into contact with non-infected ones The purpose of these measures is to kill the pathogens by using methods appropriate for particular stages of the life cycle, or adopt other habits to prevent healthy persons from contracting malaria. 46 (d) - The money spent medication, hospital space, virus-testing and other costs associated with hospitalisation is a significant amount. - The labour force is reduced. The majority of AIDS patients are of the income-earning age. When persons of this age are unable to work, productivity at workplaces is lowered. - There is loss of jobs and income within households. As AIDS patients decline in health, they may be forced to stop working altogether. This affects the quality of life within the household, since the patients are often in the income-earning age. Alternative responses include: - Vulnerable persons may be uncared for. If the working-age persons die of AIDS, children and the elderly persons in the household may be left without caregivers. - AIDS patients may be the subject of social discrimination because of the negative attitude towards AIDS patients. This may cause them to be fearful of disclosure of their illness. The long incubation period of the HIV may allow them to “hide” their illness and they may infect others. Persons who engage in AIDS-risky behaviour may be hesitant to test their blood for presence of the virus and may unwittingly spread it to others. - The high incidence of AIDS in the region causes governments to spend a lot of money on AIDS awareness campaigns and research. This reduces the amount of money available to other sectors such as education and agriculture. 6. (a) DIAGRAM OF THE HUMAN MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (b) (i) Use of a physical barrier such as a condom prevents ejaculated sperm from coming into contact with the ovum. The sperms do not reach the oviduct since they do not enter the uterus. Alternative responses include vasectomy, tubal ligation, etc. (ii) Use of oral contraceptives (hormonal pills) -they contain high proportions of oestrogen- and progesterone-like molecules which inhibit FSH. This inhibition prevents development of follicles and ovulation. If sperms are present in the oviduct, they will come in contact with no ovum. 47 (c) Flowering plants Pollen is transferred from anther to stigma Agent of pollination transfers male gametes to female part of flower Male gametes are produced by mitosis of pollen grain nucleus during germination of pollen tube Male gametes are carried by growth of pollen tube down style and into ovary Gametes are brought together for fertilisation in the embryo sac of the ovary Female gamete stays within the embryo sac of the ovary Humans Sperms are transferred from epididymis to vagina Sexual intercourse transfers male gametes to female system Male gametes are produced before the gamete transfer process starts, and are stored in the epididymis Sperms swim up vagina, uterus and oviducts, aided by muscular contractions of the female tract Gametes are brought together for fertilisation in the oviduct Female gamete is released from the ovary at ovulation 48 1. (a) (i) ATHLETE’S RED BLOOD CELL COUNT DURING SIX MONTHS OF TRAINING AT 2500 m ABOVE SEA LEVEL 49 (b) (c) (d) (ii) Months 1-3: There is a gradual but steady increase in the number of red blood cells, reaching a count of 5.1 million per unit of blood. Months 4-6: The red blood cell count reaches a maximum of 5.3 million per unit of blood in the fifth month and remains at that value. (iii) The concentration of oxygen is lower at higher altitudes. Inhaled air therefore contains less oxygen. An increased number of red blood cells are needed to deliver sufficient oxygen to tissues, since each red blood cell may absorb less oxygen than it would at lower altitudes. (iv) Continuous training at higher altitudes increase one’s red blood cell count. (v) An athlete as similar as possible to the test subject (same sex, height, weight, health, etc.) should undertake the same training programme (type, duration, time of day of training, diet, hours and time of sleep, etc.) but at sea level. (i) Katz’s red blood cells are sickle-shaped (crescent-moon shaped) or irregular while normal red blood cells are biconcave discs. (ii) The haemoglobin of sickled red blood cells is insoluble, causing them to absorb less oxygen. Less oxygen causes a reduced rate of respiration. Less ATP is produced and hence, she feels tired easily. (i) It occurs when the body is exposed to an antigen, due to entry of a pathogen (infection) or an allergen. (ii) - Phagocytes engulf and digest pathogens. - B-lymphocytes produce (iii) The nucleus of a red blood cell degenerates during maturation. The cell contains no DNA and is unable to produce protein or divide. (i) - The upper surface of a leaf is covered by a waterproof, thick, shiny cuticle. This reduces the rate of evaporation of water from leaves and reflects some of the light (and heat), so reducing the amount of heat absorbed by the plant. This reduces the need for transpiration (water loss). - Under conditions of low water supply, guard cells become flaccid and close the stomata, reducing the rate of transpiration and so, water loss. Alternative responses may refer to adaptations of xerophytes such as sunken stomata, hairy leaves and reduced leaf surface area, etc. (ii) Autotrophic (iii) Chloroplast 50 2. (a) (b) (c) (d) (i) vascular tissues (xylem) (ii) flower (stamen – anther, filament) and carpel (stigma, style, ovary) (iii) fruit (contains seed/fertilised ovule within ovary) (iv) root (region of root hairs) (v) leaves (any green part of plant body) (i) Method: animal Reason: the fruit appears succulent and edible. (ii) The plants grown from the seeds are products of sexual reproduction. The gametes were produced by meiosis, which introduces variation among them. Fertilisation of gametes cause the genotypes of the offspring to be hybrids of both parents. The environment of the offspring may be different from that of the parent plant and this may modify their phenotypes. (i) - Desirable parental traits will also be present in the offspring. - Much larger numbers of offspring will be produced in a shorter time than if the plant were reproducing sexually. (ii) - Resistance to disease - Production of large number of fruits Alternative responses include tolerance to unfavourable environmental conditions, short growing period, etc. Adverse side effects such as allergic reactions or development of cancer caused by consumption of GM foods are as yet unknown, especially the long term effects. Alternative responses include alteration of properties of the original food such as taste, etc. 51 3. (a) (i), (ii), (iii) DIAGRAM OF A PART OF THE HUMAN BODY (b) (c) (i) - Antidiuretic hormone: stimulates the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct to reabsorb water. - Follicle stimulating hormone: stimulates development of follicles within the ovary of females. Alternative responses include growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, etc. (ii) - Reduced efficiency of osmoregulation, causing the water level of blood to be outside of physiological limits. - Irregularities of events of menstrual cycle such as ovulation. Alternative responses include disruption of metabolic rate, etc. (i) AN EXPERIMENT INVOLVING A SHOOT 52 4. (a) (b) (ii) Auxins increase the rate of growth in shoots. The shaded side contains more auxins and grow faster than the illuminated side which contains less auxins. The shoot therefore bends towards the light. (iii) Plants need light for photosynthesis. Growth of shoots towards light exposes the leaves to light, allowing them to synthesise the organic compounds they need. (i) Humans: alveoli of the lungs Fish: lamellae of the gills (ii) - large surface area - thin (one cell thick) - in close proximity to an extensive blood supply (i) DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING GASEOUS EXCHANGE ACROSS AN ALVEOLUS (ii) a - Diffusion b - Plants photosynthesise during the day, using carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They respire during the day, using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide. Some of the carbon dioxide produced in respiration is retained and used in photosynthesis. Similarly, some of the oxygen produced in photosynthesis is retained and used in respiration. This reduces the amount of gaseous exchange necessary, since some of the gas produced is used. At night, plants respire but do not photosynthesise. During respiration, they absorb oxygen from the atmosphere and release the carbon dioxide 53 produced, resulting in a larger amount of gases exchanged than during the day. (c) - Cutting forests reduce the number of trees available for photosynthesis. This decreases the rate of removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It therefore accumulates in the atmosphere. Decreased photosynthesis decreases the rate of production of oxygen and its release to the atmosphere. - Burning forests greatly increase the rate of return of carbon (in the form of carbon dioxide) from plants (and the burnt animals as well) to the atmosphere, leading to its accumulation in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Its accumulation leads to global warming, with consequences such as rising sea level and disruptions in weather patterns. - Cutting or burning forests remove the leaf litter from the surface of soil. The roots of the removed trees decay after a while. Loss of roots and leaf litter increases the rate of soil erosion. This leads to leaching of minerals from soil, landslides and destruction of habitats for animals. Alternative responses include a reduced food supply for animals, etc. 5. (a) (i) DIAGRAM OF THE STRUCTURE OF A MOTOR NEURON 54 (ii) (b) Both the cell body and the end of the axon terminate in dendrites, which can form synapses with other neurones. This facilitates communication among several neurones at the same time. The axon is insulated at intervals by myelin sheaths. This causes impulses to be generated only at the nodes of Ranvier, increasing the rate of impulse transmission. The axon is long. This reduces the number of neurones necessary to transmit an impulse across long distances and so increases the rate of impulse transmission. (There is a time delay associated with transmission of an impulse from one neurone to another.) The cerebrum is the centre for reasoning and association of experiences. Memory is the result of association of past experiences with some other stimulus. Alcohol destroys the cells of the cerebrum. Loss of these cells results a lowered rate of transmission of impulses among the cerebral cells. This results in gaps in the communication among nerve cells of the cerebrum and the efficiency of association of experiences is diminished. This is known as loss of “memory cells”. Alcohol causes dehydration of nerve cells in the brain and in the long term, destruction of their myelin sheaths. This reduces the rate of transmission of impulses and therefore, it has the following depressant actions on the brain: It reduces the activity of the cerebrum. Loss of reasoning, memory and cognitive skills occurs. It reduces the activity of the medulla. Regulation of breathing rate is impaired and a loss of consciousness or death may result. It reduces the activity of the cerebellum. Loss of motor co-ordination, balance and posture results. Social consequences: The loss of inhibition, accompanied by loss of reasoning, may result in risky behaviour. Violence, acts of vandalism and aggressive behaviour are common. Impairment of motor co-ordination and judgment are often accompanied by vehicular accidents. Victims may be paralysed or permanently affected in some way, if not killed. Economic consequences: Persons who misuse alcohol often neglect their general health. Ill health, effects of hangovers or withdrawal symptoms result in frequent absenteeism from their jobs. This lowers the productivity at the workplace. Money is spent on purchasing alcohol, treating illnesses associated with alcoholism, fines for traffic offences, compensation to victims of violence or vandalism, replacement of wrecked vehicles and other alcohol-related expenses. This could significantly reduce the amount of money available for other living expenses. 55 Alternative responses include the higher risk of extreme criminal activity, addiction, birth defects, etc. 6. (a) (i) Pathogens may enter a person. They bind to complementary B-lymphocytes and antibodies and memory cells are produced. The pathogens are destroyed and the person is immune to that particular type of pathogens thereafter (since the memory cells are a larger population of B-lymphocytes than before the infection). If the pathogens entered naturally, as in a natural infection, the person shows natural immunity. If the pathogens (a weakened form) were introduced deliberately, as in a vaccine, the person shows artificial immunity. Alternatively, the antibodies themselves may enter a person. They destroy any pathogens, present in the body, to which they are complementary. If the antibodies are transmitted from mother to foetus/child via the placenta or breast milk, the foetus/child shows natural immunity. If artificially prepared antibodies are deliberately injected in the bloodstream of a person, the person shows artificial immunity. (ii) - The deliberate introduction of a pathogen, even if weakened or genetically modified, into the body, carries a small risk of the person becoming a patient of the very disease he/she was trying to be protected from. - A person may develop an unpredictable allergic reaction to the vaccine itself. Allergic reactions can be severe to the point of fatal. Alternative responses include the cost of vaccines and development of resistance by the pathogen, etc. (b) (iii) - Reduce the chance of entry of the pathogen into the body by frequent hand washing, avoidance of hand contact with eyes, nose and mouth (entry points), avoidance of contact with infected persons and use of a face mask. - Ingestion of food supplements which are known to strengthen the immune system, e.g. zinc and vitamin C. (i) Disease: dengue fever Control: destruction of the vector (mosquito) of the pathogen Alternative responses are any pathogenic disease, which is not airborne, and a control method appropriate for it. (ii) Methods used to control spread of viruses among both plants and animals involve: Isolation and/or destruction of infected plants/animals Selective breeding of varieties/breeds of plants/animals which are resistant to the viruses 56 Destruction of the vectors of the viruses Alternative responses include frequent sanitation of fields and farms, etc. 57 1.

(d) (i) - Nutrients such as glucose - Gases such as oxygen 58 (ii) (e) During exercise, respiring tissues such as muscles need more energy and so have a higher rate of respiration, so they need more oxygen. Haemoglobin transports oxygen to these tissues. Abnormally low haemoglobin levels will not deliver sufficient oxygen to muscles. This will cause a lowered respiration rate and energy availability. This will decrease athletic performance. Muscles will respire anaerobically as well, producing lactic acid, which causes fatigue and pain, further reducing performance. (i) DIAGRAM OF APPARATUS USED TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECT OF AIR MOVEMENT ON RATE OF WATER UPTAKE Annotations are: 1) Equal volumes of dyed water are measured into equally sized beakers 2) Identical plants are placed in beakers with their cut ends / roots submerged to the same depth beneath the water 3) A fan is used to blow air at the leaves of one of the plants 4) A stopwatch is used to allow measurements to be recorded at regular time intervals 5) A ruler is used to measure the distance moved by the dyed water up the stems (ii) Moving air such as wind increases the rate of water movement through xylem vessels OR Moving air increases the rate of transpiration. 59 (f) Xylem vessels: Narrow lumen – allows water flow by adhesion to walls and cohesion to each other (capillarity) Lignified – resists collapse of vessels due to high tension of water in them Contain no cytoplasm or cross-walls – no hindrance to water flow Continuous throughout stems – allow flow of water throughout stems 2. (a) A SECTION THROUGH THE HUMAN EYE (b) (i) Seedlings in A: gravity or water Seedlings in B: light (ii) Auxin (iii) A: roots will grow downward and gain access to more water, minerals and will be better anchored in the soil. B: shoots will grow upward and be exposed to more light for photosynthesis. (c) Similarity: Both show a directional positive response (towards the stimulus) Difference: Soil invertebrates quickly move their entire bodies (locomotion) towards moisture but seedlings’ shoots grow slowly towards light. (d) Alternative comparisons to those given in the table are acceptable. NERVOUS STSTEM Impulses are generated along neurones Response to impulses is very quick ENDOCRINE SYSTEM Hormones are secreted into blood Response to hormones often occurs over a period of time (more slowly) 60 3. (a) (b) - Oxygen - Tannins (i) A: prostate gland B: testis C: Vas deferens/sperm duct (ii) THE HUMAN MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (c) (i) The vas deferens can be cut and tied. Sperm released from the testis will not pass the cut and will not enter the semen. The ejaculated fluid will not contain sperm. The sperm will not meet the egg. (ii) The oviducts are cut and tied. The ovulated egg will not pass the cut. Sperm in the oviducts are unable to pass the cut (from the opposing side). The sperm will not meet the egg. (d) Asexual reproduction (potato) One parent needed Only mitosis involved (for development of offspring) 4. (a) Sexual reproduction (human) Two parents needed Both meiosis (for gamete production) and mitosis (for development of offspring) involved - The skin provides a mechanical barrier against the entry of pathogens. - At the openings or lining the tubes connected to the openings of the body, there are cilia or secretions of mucus, acid or enzyme, e.g. mucus is secreted in the trachea and bronchioles, which traps pathogens and prevent their entry into the body. 61 (b) (i) Vector – mosquito Eggs are laid by adult females in stagnant water. These hatch into larvae, which remain close to the water’s surface for gaseous exchange, using breathing tubes. They undergo moulting several times during their growth. This is the feeding stage, in which they feed on micro-organisms and organic matter in water. They eventually form pupae (non-feeding stage) just beneath the water’s surface, still breathing through tubes. Within the pupal case, complete metamorphosis is completed (larval tissue is broken down and re-organised into the adult form) and each one develops into a fully formed adult, or imago. These adults emerge from the pupal cases and fly away. They will eventually reproduce sexually, with the female laying eggs in water. (ii) The disease malaria is caused by the pathogen Plasmodium, for which the Aedes mosquito is the vector. Knowledge of the habits or requirements of the mosquito at each stage in its life cycle allows one to use an appropriate strategy to kill it. If the mosquito is killed, the pathogen cannot be transmitted from one person to another, since the vector (mosquito) is the means of transmission of the pathogen. Removal or draining of stagnant water will destroy the larval and pupal stage. If this is not possible, the addition of insecticides to the water’s surface will kill them. Alternatively, a layer of oil, kerosene or lecithins on the water’s surface will prevent their breathing and kill them. Biological control can be done by introducing fish which feed on the larval and pupal stages. Removal of dense vegetation near human populated areas homes deprive the mosquitoes of a habitat and the juices of plants, on which they feed. Spraying of vegetation with insecticides will kill the adult mosquitoes. (c) (i) The vaccine contains the attenuated pathogen for yellow fever, which is or contains antigens. The antigens bind to those B-lymphocytes which are complementary to them (they recognise the antigens). These B-lymphocytes undergo rapid cell division, producing plasma cells (which secrete antibodies to destroy the pathogens) and memory cells. Memory cells are a long-lived, larger population (than before the vaccine) of B-lymphocytes complementary to the antigens. If the pathogens for yellow fever then enter the student’s body, the larger population of B-lymphocytes (memory cells) are able to produce the 62 antibody-secreting cells more rapidly and in greater numbers (recognition happens faster). Antibodies are therefore produced so quickly and in such large numbers in the secondary immune response that the yellow fever pathogens are killed before the student shows signs and symptoms of the disease. The student shows active immunity. (ii) 5. (a) This vaccine contains artificially made antibodies against the antigens. This has no effect on the student since he/she contains no antigens (is not infected). If the student is subsequently infected, the primary immune response is done, in which antibody production is slow enough for the student to suffer signs and symptoms of the disease. A population is the collection of all the organisms of one species (organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring) in a particular habitat, e.g. all the worms in the swamp. Physical factors are the non-living components of an ecosystem which affect the distribution of living organisms in that ecosystem, e.g. water content and solute concentration of the soil (it is waterlogged and brackish). A habitat is the part of an ecosystem within which a particular organism resides, e.g. blue herons live in the mangrove trees. (b) Argument for plan: More people will have access to housing. The population is growing and there not much land left which is suitable for housing. It is necessary to modify land such as swamp areas to provide homes for the growing population. Arguments against plan: Removal of the swamp will destroy an entire ecosystem. Mangrove ecosystems are specialised and rare. They contain organisms which may not be adapted to other, more common, habitats. Removal of the swamp (habitats of these organisms) may eliminate them entirely, reducing biodiversity. Living organisms, water and soil are stages of nutrient cycling. Removal or modification of these would disrupt the cycling of nutrients. Removal of the swamp will cause a decline in the revenue of the country. Fish are harvested from swamps for sale. If there are no breeding grounds for the types of fish found in swamps, the fishing industry will decline. The revenue gained by the swamp being a tourist attraction will also be lost. Both the entrance fees paid by tourists and the employment of tour guides, etc. will be gone. 63 (c) 6. (a) - Cutting trees reduce the number of trees available for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the air. Lack of trees will cause carbon dioxide to accumulate in the air. Decomposers use the tree bodies as substrate for their respiration, which releases carbon dioxide into the air. - Cutting trees reduce the amount of carbon entering the animal component of the carbon cycle. Grazing by herbivores is the means by which carbon enters the animal stage. - Burning trees release carbon dioxide in the air, causing it to accumulate there. Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion. (i) DIAGRAM OF OUTLINE OF THE HUMAN BODY SHOWING LOCATION OF TWO GLANDS (b) (ii) Pancreas: insulin or glucagon Pituitary gland: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (iii) Factors: pH temperature If the blood glucose level falls below the norm, this is detected by the pancreas, which secretes glucagon and decreases/inhibits secretion of insulin. Glucagon causes the liver to convert glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood, raising its glucose level until the norm is regained. Glucagon secretion is then inhibited by negative feedback. If the blood glucose level rises above the norm, this is detected by the pancreas, which secretes insulin and decreases/inhibits secretion of glucagon. Insulin causes the liver to convert glucose to insoluble glycogen (stored in liver and muscle), so removing it from the blood and lowering its glucose level until the norm is regained. Insulin secretion is then inhibited by negative feedback. 64 (c) The water content of the blood is too low (below the norm). This is detected by osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus causes the pituitary gland to secrete antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH travels in the blood and binds to the cells of the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting duct. This causes them (distal tubule and collecting duct) to reabsorb water from the filtrate and urine, respectively, into the blood. The additional water reabsorbed raises the water content of the blood (preventing complete dehydration) and a small volume of concentrated urine is produced (less water is excreted). 65 1. (a) (b) (i) Jar I: soda lime/caustic soda/NaOH/KOH Jar II: lime water/Ca(OH)2 Jar III: small organism (green plant or animal) Jar IV: lime water/Ca(OH)2 (ii) The lime water changes from colourless to cloudy/milky. (i) Place a plant in Jar III and remove any animal which may be there. Cover Jar III with a black cloth. (ii) It prevents entry of light so the plant does not photosynthesise. It therefore prevents the plant from using the carbon dioxide it produces while respiring. (iii) - The jars must be sterilised, to remove microorganisms which will be respiring and contributing to carbon dioxide production (changing the colour of lime water). - The apparatus must be airtight, to prevent carbon dioxide from the atmosphere from changing the colour of the lime water. Alternative responses include maintenance of an appropriate temperature, ensuring that the gas tubing is below the level of the limewater, etc. (c) (d) (i) C6 H12O6 6CO2 6H2O 32 ATP (ii) It converts the energy of glucose (unavailable to cells) to the energy of ATP (available to cells), enabling cells to perform biological work, e.g. production of nerve impulses and growth.

Y:- anthers hang outside of the flower, to allow the pollen grains to be easily blown away - large feathery stigma for trapping wind-blown pollen Alternative responses are any feature of wind pollinated flowers which are visible in Figure 3. (b) After pollen is deposited on the stigma, 1) The pollen grain germinates into a pollen tube. 2) One male nucleus divides by mitosis into two male nuclei/gametes, which enter the tube. 3) The tube grows into the style towards the ovary, digesting style tissue. 4) The tube enters the ovary and micropyle, then bursts, releasing the male nuclei. 5) One male nucleus fuses with the female gamete/nucleus/ovum and the other with the endosperm nucleus. The ovary is now a fruit and the ovule is a seed. 68 (c) 4. (a) - Animal dispersal - Self dispersal (i) DRAWING OF A GENERALISED PLANT CELL DRAWING OF A GENERALISED ANIMAL CELL (ii) - The chloroplast traps light and is the site of photosynthesis (conversion of light energy to chemical energy by production of glucose). Glucose is used for respiration or for synthesis of other necessary compounds. - The large central vacuole is used for storage of a variety of materials, including pigments (in petals – aiding reproduction), water (maintenance of turgidity of cells) or waste materials. Alternative responses include starch grain, etc. 69 (b) (i) The cytoplasm of both cells contains a lower water concentration than that of the container of distilled water. Water moves down its concentration gradient and enters both cells by osmosis. This causes a small expansion of their protoplasm (swelling). The expansion causes the cell membrane of the animal cell to rupture. The tough, inelastic cell walls resists and limits the degree of expansion of the plant cell, so it gets turgid, does not rupture and there is no further net intake of water. (ii) Feature of process Name 5. (a) Water movement Gas movement into cells into and out of cells Osmosis Diffusion What particles are being transported? Water Gases Are the particles transported across a semipermeable membrane (cell membrane)? Yes No (i) SIMPLIFIED DIAGRAM OF THE NITROGEN CYCLE 70 (b) (ii) - Nitrogen is a major component of chlorophyll. A nitrogen deficiency results in production of less or no chlorophyll. The yellow leaves do less or no photosynthesis. Very little or no glucose is made, which is needed by the plant as a respiratory substrate. The plant therefore lacks energy to execute its metabolic processes such as growth. - Nitrogen (as nitrates) is absorbed by plants and used in protein synthesis. These proteins may be used to form structural compounds and enzymes. A deficiency in nitrogen, and therefore, of protein, results in stunted growth. (i) It causes eutrophication: 1) Nitrate (large amounts) from fertilisers leach into the river. 2) The rate of algal growth in the river increases such that the surface of the pond is covered with algae. 3) Light is unable to penetrate the surface of the water because of the cover of algae. 4) Aquatic plants beneath the surface of the water die. 5) Decomposers use the dead plants as substrates for their respiration, multiplying rapidly and greatly decreasing the oxygen content of the water. 6) Aquatic animals die because of the lack of oxygen. (Death of plants and animals may also result if the fertilisers have other effects such as change in pH of the water.) (ii) - Use of less inorganic fertiliser, coupled with use of more organic fertiliser. Since organic fertiliser decomposes slowly, the rate of release of soluble ions is slow and it is therefore unlikely that large amounts will be leached from the soil. - Frequent removal of excess algae from the river will allow light to penetrate the water. - Education of farmers about the concepts of leaching and eutrophication. Alternative responses include offering incentives to farmers for implementation of farming practices which do not threaten the stability of ecosystems, such as planting crops downstream of rivers, etc. 71 6. (a) DIAGRAM OF A CANINE TOOTH (b) - It reduces the probability of one suffering from deficiency diseases, since a range of nutrients is likely to be present in a varied diet (it is more likely to be a balanced diet). - It increases the probability of one’s consumption of non-nutrients which are necessary for health, e.g. fibre and antioxidants decrease the risk of constipation and cancer, respectively. - It increases the probability of better management of body weight and conditions for which one may have a genetic predisposition, e.g. diabetes and cancer. A varied diet is more likely to include carbohydrates which are digested slowly. (c) He is unable to bite tough food or cut food into smaller pieces. This limits the range of his intake of food and possibly, of nutrients. He is unable to mechanically digest his food by chewing. His food will therefore not be broken into small pieces. Enzymes may not have adequate surface area to efficiently hydrolyse food (chemical digestion), so his food may be poorly digested. He may still obtain nutrients by: Consumption of food supplements or food that require little or no digestion, e.g. glucose and amino acids. Consumption of food that require little or no mechanical digestion, e.g. soups and blended meals. Use of artificially made teeth/dentures to allow him to mechanically digest food. 72 1.

There are numerous small lamellae, which provide a large surface area for diffusion, increasing its rate. (iii) It provides the organism with oxygen for aerobic respiration. It removes carbon dioxide (produced in respiration) from the organism. It ensures that the levels of these gases are within physiological limits (homeostasis). (i) Two of Sea grass, Phytoplankton or Corals with zooxanthellae (ii) They are photosynthetic or chemosynthetic (use energy of light or inorganic simple molecules to synthesise complex organic compounds). They are the means of entry of energy into the organisms of the food web. (iii) Mutualism, both partners benefit: corals get oxygen and nutrients and zooxanthellae get carbon dioxide, shelter and protection. (i) Write a self- explanatory title. You can use the same title as that of the table, that is: GRAPH OF ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PARROTFISH AND PREDATORY FISH OVER THREE YEARS Use a key to identify each line in the graph OR write a label on each line, e.g. Parrotfish Use a scale on each axis such that maximum use is made of the graph paper 73 Label each axis – Time /month on the x-axis and Number of fish on the y-axis Plot points accurately GRAPH OF ESTIMATED NUMBER OF PARROT FISH AND PREDATORY FISH OVER THREE YEARS 74 (ii) The numbers of predatory fish were lower since they are higher up the food chain. Over time, their numbers increased since there were no / few of their predators present. Other valid points are acceptable such as parrotfish has more predators feeding on it and temperature/pH of the water is very suitable for the predators. (iii) Strong jaws and Ability to swim quickly. Other valid points are acceptable e.g. excellent eyesight and ability to blend in with its surroundings. (iv) The population of parrotfish will decline to very low numbers or they may be eliminated from that ecosystem. The predatory fish will then eat its other food sources such as corals and jellyfish in greater numbers, resulting in their decline or elimination. Biodiversity will be reduced if they are eliminated. Other valid points are acceptable e.g. decline in economy due to poor fishing industry and less tourism due to decrease in marine life, etc. 2. (a) (b) (c) (i) A - Vena cava B - Aorta C - Ventricle (ii) Blockage will reduce blood flow (and so, its oxygen and nutrient supply) to cardiac muscle. Lack of oxygen and glucose will decrease its rate of respiration. It will not have sufficient energy to pump blood to arteries. Cardiac arrest may result. (i) B is a vein. (ii) Valve (iii) Valve flaps open in the direction towards the heart only. This allows blood to flow in that direction only. Backflow of blood is prevented by closure of the valve if blood starts to flow away from the heart. (iv) Plaques decrease the diameter, and so the volume, of arteries. This increases the blood pressure within the arteries. Since plaques remain in the vessels for a long time, chronic high blood pressure (hypertension) results. P – xylem Q – sieve tube element of phloem 75 (d) Explanation – Since plants’ metabolic rate is lower, they do not need substances delivered to cells at a rate as high as the animals’. Mechanism – Loading of sieve tubes generates a high pressure in the tubes at the source. The pressure gradient in the tubes from source to sink results in mass flow of materials along the tubes in this direction. 3. (a) (i) A – Bowman’s capsule Ultrafiltration: Filtration of some blood plasma (water, glucose, amino acids, urea, salts) from glomerular capillaries into the lumen of the nephron B – Proximal convoluted tubule Selective reabsorption: Transfer of certain useful substances e.g. glucose, from the glomerular filtrate into the peritubular capillaries by osmosis, diffusion and active transport C – Loop of Henle Reabsorption of water: from the loop to the blood capillaries (b) 4. (a) (ii) Antidiuretic hormone (iii) Osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus detect the low water concentration in the blood of the person who drank no water, causing the pituitary gland to secrete ADH, so the distal tubule and collecting duct reabsorb more water, producing urine containing a higher water: solute ratio (concentrated). The other person’s blood has a lot of water, so little water is reabsorbed by the nephron, causing the urine to have a lower water: solute ratio (concentrated). (i) Since insulin is not produced or is not used, the glucose level of blood, and so, of glomerular filtrate, is excessively high, so the proximal tubule is unable to reabsorb all, hence, some is excreted in urine. (ii) Diet should be low in carbohydrate, especially disaccharides and monosaccharides. Blood glucose level should be measured regularly, followed by insulin injection if necessary. Draw a diagram of the carbon cycle. Ensure that it includes: The stages – Plants, Animals, Soil/Water and the Atmosphere containing Carbon Dioxide At least one arrow leading to and from each stage Two additional arrows leading away from the Atmosphere containing Carbon Dioxide 76 The name of the process on each arrow DIAGRAM OF PART OF THE CARBON CYCLE In the writing space, outline the processes: Photosynthesis removes atmospheric carbon dioxide and incorporates it into the organic molecules of plants. Decomposition of dead bodies of plants returns carbon to the atmosphere (as carbon dioxide) from the plants. Respiration by animals returns carbon to the atmosphere (as carbon dioxide) from the animals. Combustion of vegetation returns carbon to the atmosphere (as carbon dioxide) from the plants. 77 (b) Cutting down forests reduce the number of trees available for photosynthesis. This decreases the rate of removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It therefore accumulates in the atmosphere. Cutting down forests decreases the number of trees. It decreases the number of habitats available for animals and so decreases the number of animals. Less trees and animals are present to do respiration, reducing the rate of return of carbon from plants and animals to the atmosphere. In the short term, though, decomposition of the bodies of the killed plants and animals increases the rate of return of carbon (as carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere. Burning forests greatly increases the rate of return of carbon from the plants (and the burnt animals as well) to the atmosphere, leading to its accumulation there. (c) 5. (a) (b) People can reduce carbon emissions from vehicles by car-pooling, walking or using bicycles whenever possible. They can reduce combustion of fossil fuels by reducing electricity use, e.g. turning off light bulbs and air-conditioning units when not needed. They can increase the rate of removal of atmospheric carbon dioxide by planting trees where possible. There are other /alternative correct responses such as using alternative forms of energy e.g. solar systems, etc. The genotype is the combination of alleles an organism possesses for a particular trait. The phenotype is the physical expression of a genotype, modified by environmental influences. “Recessive” is a description of an allele which is expressed in the phenotype only in the absence of dominant alleles in the genotype of an organism. “Dominant” is a description of an allele which is expressed in the phenotype once present in the genotype, regardless of the presence of other (recessive) alleles.

(a) Offspring genotype Aa aa Offspring phenotype Normal Albino Offspring phenotypic ratio 1 normal : 1 albino Variation exists among the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB), with some having a genotype which allows them to be resistant to antibiotics against TB. The use of antibiotics (selection pressure) killed the non-resistant bacteria before they could reproduce and transmit their non-resistant genotype to subsequent generations (they had a selective disadvantage). The use of antibiotics did not kill the resistant bacteria. These survived long enough to reproduce and transmit their resistant genes to subsequent generations (they had a selective advantage). Subsequent generations of bacteria therefore contained a progressively higher proportion of resistant ones, until the majority of the TB bacterial population were resistant to antibiotics. (i) Tissue types: Skeletal muscle, Bones and Connective tissue (tendons and ligaments). Reasons: To obtain food and other requirements, e.g. water To find mates for reproduction To avoid unfavourable environments, e.g. inappropriate moisture level, presence of predators (ii) Plants do not need move around to obtain their food since they manufacture their food by photosynthesis. The raw materials needed are available in their immediate environment. Movement is unnecessary for reproduction since agents of pollination (wind, animals, etc.) facilitate the transfer of gametes. Agents of dispersal (wind, water, etc.) facilitate dispersal of their offspring within seeds. 79 (b) When the father first saw his son, he was far away. Light rays from the son, entering the father’s eyes, were almost parallel and needed little refraction. To facilitate this, his ciliary muscles were relaxed, suspensory ligaments pulled taut, lens stretched thin and less convex. As he watched his son running, his son was a progressively nearer object. Light rays reflected off the son were progressively more diverging and needed progressively more refraction. To facilitate this, the ciliary muscles in the father’s eyes were increasing their contraction, progressively slackening the tension in the suspensory ligaments and allowing the lens to assume a progressively more convex shape. Changes to the shape of the lens (accommodation) ensured that the degree of refraction done was exactly the amount required to focus the light rays (which entered the pupil) on the retina. 80 1. (a) (i) A: asexual B: sexual (ii) 1) The pollen grain germinates, growing a pollen tube within the style in the direction of the ovary. 2) One male nucleus divides by mitosis, producing two male nuclei within the tube. 3) The tube grows until it enters the micropyle, delivering the male gametes within the ovule. 4) Double fertilisation occurs. One male gamete fuses with the female nucleus, producing the zygote. The other fuses with the endosperm nucleus, forming the endosperm. The ovule is now a seed, containing the developing embryo. The ovary is now a fruit. (b) Feature Mitosis Meiosis Number of daughter cells 2 4 produced No of chromosomes in The same number as in Half the number of each daughter cell the parent cell (diploid) chromosomes of the parent cell (haploid) Alternative responses may refer to the genetic variation in the daughter cells of meiosis and the genetic stability of mitosis. (c) The allele for blue flower is dominant to that for white flower, since blueflowered plants are more abundant. The white-flowered plants inherited their alleles from their blue-flowered parents. The parents therefore contained the allele for white flowers but its expression was suppressed (it is recessive). The parents are heterozygous. If any of them were homozygous, none of the offspring would be white. 81 Diagram: Let B represent the allele for blue flowers Let b represent the allele for white flowers Parental phenotype blue Parental genotype Bb Gametes X blue Bb (B) and (b) (B) and (b) Random fertilisation (B) (b) (B) BB Bb (b) Bb bb Offspring genotype BB Bb Bb bb Offspring phenotype Blue Blue Blue White 3 blue : Offspring phenotypic ratio 1 white 74 blue-flowered plants and 26 white-flowered plants are in the ratio 3 : 1 (d) (i) Days after Length of germination Radicle (cm) 1 0.4 2 1.2 3 1.4 4 1.6 5 1.9 6 2.3 7 2.9 8 3.4 82 (ii) GRAPH SHOWING LENGTH OF RADICLE AFTER GERMINATION (iii) - Oxygen - A suitable temperature (iv) 1) Heat some loam soil at 110 0C until all the water is removed (heat to a constant weight). 2) Obtain two seed boxes and place the dry loam soil in them. Ensure that both boxes are as identical as possible with respect to material of boxes, dimensions of boxes, type of soil, volume of soil, location of boxes (exposed to same temperature, oxygen level, light intensity, wind speed, etc.) and as many other environmental factors as possible. 3) Obtain 40 healthy seeds which are as similar as possible (same age, species, variety, from same plant, size, etc.). 4) Plant 20 seeds in each box at a depth of 1 cm below the surface of the soil. 5) Sprinkle the soil in one box with water until the soil is moist each day (once per day) for a period of 10 days or until the seeds are germinated from at least one box. 83 If the seeds of the box which is watered germinates but the seeds of the dry box do not, the hypothesis is not rejected. (e) 2. (a) Cotyledons get smaller as their food stores are hydrolysed to provide nutrients for the developing embryo and growth of the primary leaves (before the primary leaves are developed enough to photosynthesise and manufacture nutrients for the plant). (i) I: liver II: stomach III: pancreas IV: large intestine V: small intestine (ii) DIAGRAM OF THE HUMAN ALIMENTARY CANAL (iii) - They contain protease enzymes which are specific for hydrolysis of protein substrates. - Their pH levels are appropriate for optimal action of the particular proteases they contain (stomach is acidic for action of pepsin and the duodenum is alkaline for the action of trypsin). (iv) - It is used in synthesis of structures such as cell membranes and organelles during cell division (as occurs during growth and repair of tissue.) - It is used in synthesis of functional compounds such as enzymes, hormones and antibodies. 84 (b) (i) 1) Ammonification - Urea is converted to ammonium ions by putrefying bacteria. 2) Nitrification – Ammonium ions are oxidised to nitrite ions by nitrifying bacteria, e.g. Nitrosomonas 3) Nitrification – Nitrite ions are oxidised to nitrate ions by nitrifying bacteria, e.g. Nitrobacter Nitrate ions are easily absorbed by, and are therefore available to, plants.

Alternative responses include reference to genetically engineered organisms to improve their resistance to disease and infection by pathogens, genetic modification of pathogens for vaccine production, genetic modification of stem stems which can later be used in organ transplants, etc. (d) (i) Vector: Aedes aegypti mosquito Diseases: yellow fever, dengue fever 85 (ii) - Introduce a species of fish or other animal into ponds, streams and other waterways which will consume the eggs, larvae or pupae of the mosquito. - Spray the habitats of the mosquitoes regularly with insecticide. Alternative responses include removal of breeding grounds of mosquitoes, coating the surface of stagnant water with oil or insecticide, etc. 4. (a) P: Palisade mesophyll Role: It contains chlorophyll within numerous chloroplasts to trap light. Carbon dioxide is combined with hydrogen to form glucose. Q: Xylem vessels Role: It transports water (source of hydrogen for reduction of carbon dioxide) to mesophyll cells. R: Phloem sieve tubes and companion cells Role: It transports sucrose (made from glucose) to sinks. (b) B has a waxy cuticle which is thicker than that of A. The waxy cuticle of B is waterproof and prevents evaporation of water, so reducing water loss from B. It probably is shiny and reflects light (and heat) and so reduces the need for cooling (evaporation of water). The stomata of B are sunken into pits, into which epidermal hairs grow. The pits and hairs trap transpired water vapour adjacent to the stomata, reducing the water concentration gradient (between the intercellular spaces and the stomata) and thus, the rate of transpiration. (c) Plant A: adequate water supply, possibly a cool/shaded area Plant B: inadequate water supply (hot and /or dry conditions) Adaptations: - extensive root system for reaching water in remote/deep areas of soil - leaves reduced to spines (reduced surface area for transpiration) - rolled leaves (trap layer of moisture adjacent to stomata, reducing transpiration rate) Alternative responses include storage of water in succulent stems or other organs. 86 5. (a) DIAGRAM OF THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE SKIN (b) (i) Term: homeostasis During the day: Sweat is produced. It absorbs heat and evaporates from the surface of his skin, taking some of the heat from his body. Vasodilation of capillaries close to the surface of his skin occurs. This brings blood (containing heat) closer to the skin, for faster heat loss (by radiation) from the body. Hair erector muscles relax. This causes hairs to lie flat against his skin. When heat radiates from his body into the atmosphere, the warmed air of the atmosphere (next to his skin) diffuses away quickly, taking the heat with it. Flat hairs cause no resistance to the flow of air. This response is of homeostatic significance in hairier/ furrier animals than humans. During the night: Sweat is not produced. There is no absorption of heat by water. No evaporation of water occurs. The heat of his body is conserved. Vasoconstriction of capillaries close to the surface of his skin occurs. Vasodilation of capillaries further away from his skin occurs. Less blood flows close to the skin, reducing radiation from the body. Heat is retained in the blood flowing further from the skin. Hair erector muscles contract. This causes hairs to stand upright. When heat radiates from his body into the atmosphere, the warmed air of the atmosphere (next to his skin) is trapped by the upright hairs adjacent to the skin. This reduces the temperature gradient from his body to the atmosphere, reducing the rate of heat loss. This response is of homeostatic significance in hairier/furrier animals than humans. 87 (ii) Day: Avoid exposure to the sun by staying in shaded areas, wearing a hat and wearing light coloured clothes which will reflect light (and heat) rather than absorb it. Reduce activity during the day. A reduced metabolic rate is associated with a reduced rate of respiration (less heat is produced by the body). Alternative responses include wearing of clothing of a material which allows evaporated water to be lost to the atmosphere, intake of sufficient water so profuse sweating is possible, etc. Night: Wear warm clothing (heat insulating material). Heat lost from his body will be prevented from being lost to the atmosphere by the insulating material. Alternative responses include sleeping inside a small tent of insulating material, increased activity level, etc. 6. (a) Organism Natural habitat Cactus Desert/Rocky area King fish Ocean / Sea Crayfish Pond Red mangrove Mangrove swamp (b) - Increased competition for light: Overlapping leaves of adjacent plants may reduce the amount of sunlight reaching lower leaves, resulting in less photosynthesis. - Increased competition for water: Roots of adjacent plants compete for a given amount of water, such that less is available for each plant to do photosynthesis. - Increased competition for fertiliser: Roots of adjacent plants compete for a given amount of mineral ions, such that less is available for each plant to do synthesis of tissue. Alternative responses include competition for space and the increased likelihood of spread of pathogens among plants. (c) - Pesticides, herbicides, soap and other toxic chemicals which may affect the pH and other properties of the water of the mangrove swamp. This may adversely affect the oyster population or eliminate it altogether. - Harvesting of oysters for consumption or pearl-hunting at a faster rate than they reproduce and grow will deplete their population. Oysters may be totally eliminated from the swamp. 88 - Removal of mangrove trees will destroy the habitats of oysters. They breed, feed and live among the roots of the mangrove trees. Destruction of mangrove trees will reduce or eliminate the oyster population. 89 1. (a) (i) Sampling methods: A quadrat is thrown randomly and all plants of the species of interest which are found within it are counted / recorded. This is done multiple times and the data is used to estimate the density/species cover/frequency of the species. A line transect is pegged along the ground/soil in a straight line and all plant species touching it are recorded/counted. This shows how the abundance of the species of interest varies across the area. (ii) A pitfall trap (bottle containing some bleach or other chemical toxic to small creatures) is placed in a hole in the soil, with the top of the bottle at soil level. It is covered loosely enough to allow walking animals to fall in. The animals are later removed and recorded. There are alternative correct responses, e.g. use of photography, nets and tracking devices, etc. (b) (i) FOOD WEB 1:Food web of organisms in the field study (ii) PYRAMID 1: Pyramid of numbers to show the feeding relationships among the organisms living in the area 90 (c) (i) To estimate the water-holding capacity: 1) Place a dry soil sample in a funnel lined with filter paper. 2) Add a known volume of water to the soil. The volume should be large enough to saturate the entire soil sample. 3) When no more filtrate is dripping into the measuring cylinder, note the volume of the filtrate. 4) Subtract the volume of the filtrate from the volume of the water poured into the soil to obtain the water-holding capacity of the soil. (ii) Soil: Provides a medium for anchorage of roots for plant support Is a habitat for organisms Contains air, providing oxygen for respiration of living organisms Contains mineral ions and water for uptake by plants (d) Light bulb: Invertebrates move away from the bulb’s light and heat and fall into the alcohol. Alcohol: Kills (and so prevents escape) and preserves the collected specimens. (e) Forest soil contains dead organic matter (shed structures and dead bodies of plants and animals.) Fungi and bacteria are decomposers – they convert the complex, insoluble nutrients in dead organic matter to simple, soluble, inorganic ions in soil and carbon dioxide in the air. These ions and carbon dioxide are absorbed by plants, so they re-enter food chains. When animals eat these plants, they gain the nutrients. 2. (a) (i) Light and a suitable temperature (or presence of chlorophyll) (ii) Gas: oxygen Reactant: water (iii) Glucose is used as the respiratory substrate by plant cells to produce energy. This energy is used to do work such as protein synthesis and growth. Glucose is converted to cellulose and used to form cell walls. There are other /alternative correct responses e.g. it is stored in the form of starch and stored in storage organs, etc. (iv) An appropriate temperature for optimum enzyme function. Carbon dioxide to provide carbon and oxygen for glucose formation Water to provide hydrogen for glucose formation There are other /alternative correct responses e.g. humidity and light intensity, etc. 91 (b) 3. (a) Salivary amylase is secreted by the salivary glands into the mouth, where it hydrolyses starch to maltose. Pancreatic amylase is secreted by the pancreas into the duodenum, where it hydrolyses starch to maltose. Maltase is secreted by the walls of the ileum into the lumen of the ileum, where it hydrolyses maltose to glucose. (i) Label the ovaries. (ii) Label a point within the distal (closer to the ovary) third of the oviduct. (iii) Label the endometrium. STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (b) Sperms (male gametes) are ejaculated out of the sperm duct, then urethra, into the vagina. Contractions of the uterus and oviducts aid the sperms to swim up the uterus and both oviducts. An ovulated ovum (female gamete) leaves the ovary and moves down its oviduct. Sperms reach the ovum and one enters it. The nuclei of the ovum and sperm fuse, forming the zygote. (c) (i) Meiosis (ii) Meiosis Mitosis Daughter cells contain half the Daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as that of number of chromosomes as that of their parent cell their parent cell Daughter cells are genetically Daughter cells are genetically different from their parent cell, due identical to their parent cell, no to crossing over crossing over occurs Alternative comparisons are acceptable. (d) (i) A specialised cell does its function more efficiently than an unspecialised cell. Cell specialisation allows tissue and organ formation, with each having different functions. This division of labour enables physiological processes to occur more efficiently, as well as relatively independently of each other. 92 (ii) 4. (a) They have a high rate of cell division. If they are harvested, the embryo can quickly replace them. They can differentiate into any type of specialised cell/tissue. Physiological diseases are caused by malfunction of tissues. These malfunctioning tissues can be replaced by functional ones formed from stem cells which were induced to develop into the tissues. (b) (i) A gene is a section/length of DNA which codes for the production of a polypeptide. An allele is one of the alternative forms of as gene. “Dominant” is used to describe an allele which is expressed in the phenotype once it is present in the genotype, regardless of the presence of other (recessive) alleles in the genotype. “Recessive” is used to describe an allele which is expressed in the phenotype only in the absence of dominant alleles in the genotype. “Homozygous” is used to describe an organism which possesses two identical alleles for a particular gene. “Heterozygous” is used to describe an organism which possesses two different alleles for a particular gene.

(ii) Wear sunglasses to protect against retinal damage. Use sunscreen to protect against skin damage. There are other /alternative correct responses e.g. wear white to reflect the sunlight, etc. 93 (c) 5. (a) Inheritance of different alleles for skin colour (which show continuous variation), shown especially if the parents are of different races Mutation of genes for skin colour or other type of skin disease Different levels of exposure environmental effects which affect colour, e.g. sunlight, bleaching chemicals In your diagram, Ensure that the parts are in proportion Use thin clear continuous lines Include labels for: cornea, iris, pupil, lens, suspensory ligaments, ciliary muscle, ciliary body, retina, choroid, sclera, optic nerve, fovea Write a title under the drawing HORIZONTAL SECTION OF THE HUMAN EYE Vision is achieved by: 1) Light rays from an object fall on the cornea, which refracts them through the pupil and onto the lens. 2) The lens refracts the light rays such that they converge to a point (focus) on the retina. 3) The rods and cones of the retina detect the light. 4) Impulses are generated in the sensory optic nerve and are transmitted to the brain. 5) The brain interprets the impulses as an image of the object. (b) Ability to respond to stimuli: Alcohol is a depressant. It decreases the efficiency of information processing in the brain by demyelination and dehydration of nerve cells in the brain. Both of these cause eventual death of these nerve cells. In the short term, they reduce the speed of transmission of impulses, increasing one’s reaction time. 94 The depressant effect of alcohol reduces the accuracy of perception/interpretation of impulses from sensory neurones. This reduces one’s ability to detect stimuli, e.g. blurred vision. The depressant effect of alcohol reduces the efficiency of transmission of impulses in motor neurones. This reduces one’s ability to respond to stimuli, e.g. slurred speech. Alcohol depresses the action of neurones in the cerebellum. This causes loss of balance and muscular co-ordination, reducing one’s ability to respond to stimuli. Alcohol depresses the action of neurones in the higher centres of the cerebrum (those areas involved in judgement and co-ordinated responses). This includes the neurones involved in the inhibition of natural drives. This may reduce the suitability of one’s response to a given stimulus. Ability to maintain homeostasis: Homeostasis is the maintenance of the conditions of the internal environment within physiological limits. This is done partly by removal of excess materials taken in by the body. Removal of excess alcohol is done by the liver. Chronic excessive alcohol intake puts a strain on the liver, damaging it. Liver inflammation, fatty liver, liver cancer or eventual cirrhosis may result. These render the liver unable to perform its other homeostatic functions efficiently, such as regulation of levels of vitamins. Alcohol inhibits the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This prevents the reabsorption of water from the latter regions of the nephron. This water is lost in urine, even when the solute concentration of the blood is too high. Dehydration of tissues results by decreased production of tissue fluid. Alcohol in low concentrations cause vasodilation of blood vessels, including those of the skin, leading to excessive heat loss. At high concentrations, it causes vasoconstriction, preventing adequate heat loss from the skin. This disrupts the normal homeostatic control of body temperature. At high concentrations, alcohol decreases breathing rate. This disrupts the regulation of the carbon dioxide, oxygen and pH levels of the body. 6. (a) Characteristics: Members are able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring Members have the same genes (not necessarily the same alleles for those genes) Members have the same type and number of chromosomes There are other /alternative correct responses e.g. members have similar anatomy, ecological niches and biochemistry, etc. 95 Factors: Geographical isolation - physical separation of members of the species Behavioural isolation - development of different behavioural habits by members of the species Reproductive isolation – fertile seasons / development and maturation of gametes / courtship and mating rituals become different among members of the species There are other /alternative correct responses such as artificial selection/genetic engineering, etc. (b) Variation of colour existed among members of the moth species – light and dark. The presence of moth-eating birds placed a selection pressure on the population. Increased darkening of tree trunks (soot deposits) in post-industrial Britain camouflaged the black moths, giving them a selective advantage. They survived, reproduced and transmitted their favourable genotype (for dark colour) to subsequent generations, hence their increase in number. (c) 1) Variation exists among the bacterial population, with some having a genotype which allows them to be resistant to antibiotics. This variation may have arisen by mutation. 2) The use of antibiotics (selection pressure) killed the non-resistant bacteria before they could reproduce and transmit their non-resistant genotype to subsequent generations (they had a selective disadvantage). The use of antibiotics did not kill the resistant bacteria. These survived long enough to reproduce and transmit their resistant genes to subsequent generations (they had a selective advantage). These had a high reproductive rate since there was less competition from the non-resistant ones (those were killed by the antibiotics). 3) Subsequent generations of bacteria therefore contained a progressively higher proportion of resistant ones, until the majority of the bacterial population were resistant to antibiotics. 96 1. (a) GRAPH OF THE GROWTH OF PLANTS UNDER VARYING CONDITIONS OVER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME 97 (b) (i) In the light, the growth increased slowly during Days 5-15 to a height of 15 cm, then rapidly during Days 15-30 to a maximum height of 30 cm. In the dark, the growth increased faster than that of the plant in light during Days 5-15, reaching a height of 17 cm. The height remained at 17 cm till Day 20, then decreased to 15 cm by Day 30. (ii) The presence of light allows the plant to photosynthesise (convert light energy to the chemical energy of glucose). The plant therefore has adequate energy to do growth (protein synthesis and cell division.) The plant in the dark does not make chlorophyll and is deprived of light. Both these factors result in little or no photosynthesis. It therefore uses its food stores obtain energy to do growth. Since its food stores are limited, growth soon ceases. As organs such as leaves are shed, (cells die but are not replaced as quickly), the height decreases. (c) Growth may be defined as a permanent increase in the mass and volume of an organism when food is absorbed and converted to living matter. (d) The length of the plant from the tip of its shoots to its stem at soil level was measured while the length of its growing roots were not. The length of the entire baby was measured. (e) - Grow a larger number of plants in both light and dark. Measure the dry weight of representative samples of the plants at 5-day intervals. This would measure the increase in biomass. - Measure the growth of the plants at smaller time intervals, e.g. every day. This would allow one to note additional or subtler effects of light on growth rate. Additional responses include measurement of surface area of leaves, measurement of length of roots, replication of investigation and measurement of fresh weight, etc. (f) Plant growth occurs at meristems (apical meristems at the tips of roots and shoots and the cambium of vascular tissue of stems). Animal growth occurs at all points or regions, resulting in an overall increase in size. Alternative responses may refer to seasonal growth in plants or growing periods for animals/growth throughout lifetime for plants. 98 (g) (i) Obtain two healthy potted plants of the same species and age, grown under the same conditions and as similar as possible in physical features. Enclose each plant in a container with a small opening on one side. One container should be opaque and the other should be transparent. Expose both arrangements to light. Record the direction of growth of each plant over time. (ii) Plants grow taller until their leaves are exposed to light, which is used in photosynthesis. (iii) How: invertebrates move away from light. This response involves locomotion and is negative. A plant does a positive growth response. Why: Dark conditions are likely to be cooler (not exposed to sunlight), reducing the risk of desiccation of small organisms. Dark conditions allow invertebrates to hide from their predators. (h) It is needed for synthesis of compounds such as melanin (protection against light) and vitamin D (teeth and bone development). An alternative response may state that photosynthesis (by plants) provides humans with food for their growth. 2.

Photosynthesis produces oxygen, which is used by living organisms for aerobic respiration. Lack of oxygen will kill organisms. - Burning trees add a substantial amount of carbon dioxide to the air. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Its accumulation above the atmosphere contributes to global warming. Alternative responses include loss of habitat, less rainfall and soil erosion, etc. 99 (d) - Ocean acidification: this impedes the development of calcium carbonate exoskeletons of shellfish, oysters and corals, as well as dissolves existing exoskeletons. Destruction of these animals will decrease the income gained from tourism (visits to coral reefs) and harvesting and sale of shellfish. - Rising sea levels: this increases beach erosion and destroys coastal ecosystems. It may decrease the amount of land available for agriculture and habitation. Alternative responses may outline any effect of increased temperature or other drastic climate change. (e) 3. (a) (i) - Large and non-biodegradable garbage, if strewn on the ground, persists for a long time, clogging waterways and remaining as unsightly piles on land. - Soluble components of strewn garbage such as phosphates from soap may enter waterways and change the pH or other chemical properties of the water. (ii) - Garbage could be buried, either in compost (biodegradable materials) or in a landfill. - Materials could be re-used at home, when possible, or sent to a recycling plant, if available. (i) I: cell wall II: cytoplasm III: chloroplast IV: stoma V: nucleus (ii) I: it resists the outward pressure exerted by the protoplasm during water intake and so prevents the cell from bursting. Alternative responses include prevention of entry of some pathogens and maintenance of cell shape. IV: It allows water vapour to diffuse out of the leaf during transpiration. Alternative responses may refer to inward and outward diffusion of carbon dioxide and oxygen during photosynthesis and respiration. 100 (b) DIAGRAM OF GUARD CELLS AFTER PLANT WAS WATERED DURING MORNING (c) The protoplasm of both animal and plant cells expand as water enters by osmosis. In the plant guard cell, the outward pressure exerted by the expanding cytoplasm is resisted and limited by the tough and inelastic cell wall. The cell wall therefore exerts an inward pressure of equal size and the cell is firm and turgid, assuming a semi-circular shape (due to the uneven thickening of the cell wall). The animal cell has no cell wall to resist the outward pressure of the expanding cytoplasm and its cell membrane is incapable of doing so. The cell bursts. 4. (a) DIAGRAM OF THE HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM Physical digestion: The bread and chicken are mechanically digested (broken into smaller pieces) by the chewing action of teeth. The chewed food is sent as a bolus to the stomach by peristalsis of the oesophagus. Muscular contractions of the stomach walls grind the food further. Mechanical digestion by the teeth and stomach increase the surface area available for the action of enzymes. 101 Chemical digestion of bread (carbohydrate): This occurs as outlined below: Location Enzyme Enzyme secreted by Mouth Duodenum salivary amylase pancreatic amylase maltase Salivary glands Pancreas Small intestine Wall of intestine Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme starch maltose starch maltose small maltose glucose Chemical digestion of chicken (protein): This occurs as outlined below: Location Enzyme Stomach pepsin Stomach renin Duodenum trypsin Small intestine peptidases Enzyme secreted by Wall of stomach Wall of stomach Pancreas Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme protein polypeptides soluble casein insoluble casein polypeptides dipeptides protein polypeptides Wall of small dipeptides amino acids intestine Chemical digestion of chicken (lipid): This occurs as outlined below: (b) Location Enzyme Duodenum Small intestine lipase lipase (i) Enzyme secreted by Pancreas Wall of small intestine Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme fat fatty acids + glycerol fat fatty acids + glycerol - Seeds store starch, protein, lipids, vitamins and minerals. - Fruits store starch or reducing sugars (depending on stage of maturity), lipids, vitamins, minerals and water. Alternative responses include roots, leaves and stems and the nutrients stored in them. 102 (ii) 5. (a) - To avoid the need for continuous manufacture of food. Stored food can be used when the plant is not photosynthesising, e.g. at night. - To synthesise structures needed for certain processes, e.g. flowers and seeds for reproduction and fruits for dispersal of offspring. - To survive during periods of adverse environmental conditions, e.g. no photosynthesis is possible if water is lacking from the soil. Buds survive underground during dry or very cold conditions using nutrients from storage organs. - Erythrocytes - White blood cells - Platelets - Plasma 1) Oxygen binds to haemoglobin in the alveolar capillaries of the lungs (area of high oxygen concentration), forming oxyhaemoglobin inside red blood cells. 2) Oxygenated blood is taken to the heart by the pulmonary vein. 3) Oxygenated blood is pumped out of the heart. It leaves through the aorta, which divides into arteries, with one artery supplying oxygenated blood to each organ. 4) Oxygenated blood flows close to respiring tissue (areas of low oxygen concentration) in capillaries. 5) Oxyhaemoglobin dissociates into haemoglobin and oxygen, within the capillaries. 6) Oxygen diffuses out of the red blood cell, across the capillary wall, into the tissue fluid, across cell membranes and into cells, where it is available for aerobic respiration. (b) (i) - Fatigue: one is always tired and especially after physical activity - Joint pain: especially the joints of the limbs Alternative responses include jaundice, breathlessness and increased vulnerability to infections. (ii) Parental phenotype Parental genotype Gametes father: normal (carrier) X mother: normal (carrier) AS (A) and (S) AS (A) and (S) Random fertilisation (A) (S (A) AA AS (S) AS SS 103 Offspring genotype AA AS AS SS Offspring phenotype Normal Normal (carrier) Normal (carrier) Sickle-cell anaemia Offspring phenotypic ratio 1 normal: 2 carriers (sickle cell trait): 1 sickle-cell anaemia There is a 25% (or 0.25 or 1 in 4) chance that a child with sickle-cell anaemia will be born. 6. (a) Genetic engineering is the alteration of the genome of an organism, at the molecular level, by removal or addition of a gene or genes (not necessarily from the same species). The steps are: 1) Cells are removed from the recipient organism and cultured. 2) The gene of interest is isolated (removed from a chromosome by restriction enzymes or artificially synthesised). 3) The gene of interest is introduced into the cultured recipient’s cells either directly (by means of a microprojectile) or indirectly (by means of a vector). In the latter method, the gene is inserted into the vector and sealed with DNA ligase. The vector is then placed in the cells of the recipient. 4) Recipient cells are screened for successful uptake of DNA into their chromosomes. 5) Successful cells (from step 4) are re-introduced into the recipient organism. The organism is now transgenic or genetically modified. Advantages: - Desirable phenotypes are created in a shorter time than with artificial selection. It eliminates the time taken for attainment of sexual maturity and the period of gestation. - The genome-altering possibilities are greater than with artificial selection. Genes may be introduced from organisms with whom the recipient may not be able to interbreed. Alternative responses include the greater precision possible (variation associated with sexual reproduction is removed). Disadvantages: - Variation may be lost within the species. People may rear/grow only genetically modified organisms with superior traits. Other breeds /varieties (and their genes) may be eliminated from the population. These eliminated genes may have been advantageous in future environments, had they survived. - There is a risk of “escape” of genes. Genetically modified organisms, especially plants, may breed with wild relatives and transmit the transgene to a population other than that for which it was intended. This may have unpredictable effects on 104 ecosystem stability, e.g. genes for herbicide resistance may be transferred to weeds, transforming them into “superweeds.” Alternative responses include the cost and expertise required, patent of genes and ethical concerns/public acceptance. (b) (i) Cause: The variation associated with sexual reproduction or environmental differences are unlikely causes, since only one plant (from the field of plants) has fruits of the new colour. It may have been caused by mutation of the genes responsible for pigment production. Implication: A mutation may produce associated disadvantageous traits, since a mutation is a random change in functional DNA. The mutated plant may therefore not be as well adapted to its environment as the others. It may not survive long enough to reproduce multiple times and so, it may not transmit its mutated gene to subsequent generations. The frequency of this gene may decrease with subsequent generations and be eliminated from the population. No evolution is therefore possible. (ii) Artificial selection program: He could select before the plants reach the stage of seeds, as follows: 1) Identify plants with desirable features, e.g. colour of fruits. 2) Enclose them (or their flowers) in transparent bags to prevent cross-pollination. 3) Collect pollen from plants with desirable features and transfer them to the stigmas of the enclosed plants. 4) Screen the offspring of these crosses, select those with desirable traits and repeat steps 2 and 3 using those plants.

(a) (i) GRAPH SHOWING THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RATE OF REACTION OF THE ENZYME CATALASE (ii) 40 °C 107 (iii) 0-10 °C: At 0°C, no reaction occurred because the enzyme and substrate did not have enough energy to move and collide. As temperatures increased to 10°C, there was a slowly increasing number of collisions between enzyme and substrate, resulting in a slowly increasing rate of product formation, that is, rate of reaction. 11-40 °C: The kinetic energy of the substrate and enzyme increased. This caused them to have increased molecular motion and so, increased rates of collision between enzyme and substrate. This resulted in a steadily increasing rate of product formation, that is, rate of reaction. The rate is fastest here. Catalase works optimally at 40 °C. >40 °C: Enzymes are proteins and so catalase was denatured at these temperatures. The shape of the active site was distorted and the substrate could not bind to it. This caused a sharp decrease in the rate of product formation (rate of reaction) until it reached zero (the reaction stopped). (iv) The rate of catalase activity increases with temperature until the optimum temperature is reached. Alternative conclusions may cite the optimum temperature for catalase activity or the temperature(s) which causes(s) denaturation of catalase. (v) Body temperature is optimum for the action of its enzymes. Enzymes catalyse metabolic reactions of physiological processes such as respiration. Alternative responses may refer to inactivation or denaturation of enzymes at temperatures lower or higher, respectively, than body temperature. (vi) - Use equal volumes of enzyme in each test tube. - Maintain the temperature of each water bath at its appropriate temperature throughout the investigation. Alternative responses include any example of a measure which should have been taken to ensure, as far as possible, that there is no more than one manipulated variable. (vii) - All the test tubes should be in one water bath, which should be maintained at the optimum temperature for the enzyme (40 °C). - The pH of the test tubes should vary. At least one should be acidic, one neutral and at least one alkaline. Equal volumes of buffers of varying pH should be added to each tube before adding the enzymes. 108 (b) Pepsin catalyses hydrolysis of protein to polypeptides in the stomach. Trypsin catalyses hydrolysis of polypeptides to smaller peptides in the ileum. Alternative responses include any example of a protease and its action, e.g. chymotrypsin. 2. (a) (i) (ii) They are producers. They trap and convert light energy to chemical energy (photosynthesis), which is then available to all organisms of the food web. (iii) a) Small fish b) Tadpole c) Water Snake d) Eagle (iv) Algae Tadpole Small fish (v) The role of the organism to which the arrow point in a food chain is that of a consumer. (vi) Energy enters the producers during photosynthesis and flows up to higher trophic levels when animals ingest their food. Energy flows with the materials consumed during feeding. 109 (b) 3. (a) (b) - It provides food in the form of living organisms (producers and prey). - It provides other requirements (besides food) such as habitat, oxygen supply and water to the community. - It contains decomposers. They recycle waste, shed structures and dead bodies. This prevents accumulation of dead organic matter and replenishes the supply of needed materials for the community. (i) Stimulus: a change in the environment of an organism which is detected by receptors and causes a response. (ii) Receptor: a specialised cell/organ containing specialised cells which detects a particular stimulus. (iii) Effector: an organ which carries out a response to a particular stimulus. (i) SECTION THROUGH THE HUMAN EYE (ii) (c) Light focused on that spot will be undetected (since it contains no light sensitive cells/rods or cones) and no impulse will be sent to the brain. There is no perception of the object from where the light came. Light rays from the book are more divergent (so his lens is more convex) while those from the helicopter are parallel (require less refraction). The ciliary muscles relax, pulling the suspensory ligaments taut. They pull/exert tension on the lens, stretching it flatter/less convex. This reduces the degree of refraction done to the light rays and they are focussed on the retina. (d) Eye A The circular muscles of the iris are relaxed and its radial muscles are contracted, dilating the pupil and allowing as much light as possible to enter. (e) The response prevents or reduces the probability of damage to the light sensitive cells of the retina by overexposure to light. 110 4. (a) DIAGRAM OF THE HUMAN FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM (b) Barrier: - It is temporary. They may have children later if they wish. Their reproductive ability is not affected. - It is free of the pain, possible health risks and post-operational recovery associated with the surgical method. Surgical: - It provides no protection against the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. STI’s may be of greater importance since permanent contraception such as surgery may be associated with increased promiscuity. - It is more expensive to undergo surgery than to purchase barriers. (c) Method: asexual reproduction, e.g. by growth of leaflets on the margins of leaves Advantages: - Desirable features of the parent plant are transmitted to the offspring. - Large numbers of offspring are produced in a shorter time. - Only one parent is needed, so an isolated plant can reproduce. Alternative response – the method of cross-pollination with a male plant and the associated advantages. 5. (a) Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy to chemical energy by plants containing chlorophyll (traps light). Carbon dioxide and water are reactants. Oxygen is a by-product and glucose is the product. Equation: Adaptations: 111 Feature Leaf is thin Adaptation for capture of sunlight Sunlight can penetrate leaf and reach all chloroplasts Palisade mesophyll cells are columnar A large number of them is present, due to efficient “packing” Epidermal cells contain no chlorophyll or Light can penetrate and reach all other pigments mesophyll cells Leaf is broad Large surface area for capture of light Large number of chlorophyll molecules Large number of light absorbing within each chloroplast and large number pigments of chloroplasts Leaf held by petiole at a fixed angle Angle is appropriate for maximum light absorption Feature Adaptation for capture of carbon dioxide Large intercellular spaces in spongy There is an unobstructed pathway for mesophyll tissue which are continuous diffusion of carbon dioxide to all with the atmosphere photosynthesising cells Leaf is thin Carbon dioxide can diffuse within leaf to all chloroplasts Numerous stomata in lower epidermis Large surface area for inward diffusion of carbon dioxide (b) 6. (a) The structures and materials shed by plants and animals (leaves, bark, skin, horns, scales, faeces, etc.) and their dead bodies contain complex carbon-containing organic compounds. Decomposers use these compounds as substrate for their respiration. They convert the complex organic compounds into simple inorganic ones such as carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is released into the air, where it is available to green plants for photosynthesis. Causes: - lack of iron or Vitamin B12 in one’s diet - Inheritance of HbS HbS genotype (sickle cell anaemia) Alternative responses include excess blood loss due to menstruation, internal bleeding, etc. Signs/Symptoms: - low red blood cell count due to synthesis of limited number of haemoglobin molecules, causing pale appearance of skin - Fatigue/weakness/lack of energy due to a low rate of respiration (caused by lack of oxygen) Alternative responses include weight loss, retarded physical development, joint pain, enlarged spleen, reduced vision, etc. 112 (b) (i) Homozygous: a condition in which an organism has two identical alleles for a given gene. Heterozygous: a condition in which an organism has different alleles for a given gene. (ii) Let HbA represent the allele for normal haemoglobin Let HbS represent the allele for sickled haemoglobin Parental phenotype carrier X carrier Parental genotype HbA HbS HbA HbS Gametes (HbA) and (HbS) (HbA) and (HbS) Random fertilisation (HbA) (HbS) HbA HbA HbA HbS HbA HbS HbS HbS (HbA) (HbS) Offspring genotype HbA HbA HbA HbS HbA HbS HbS HbS Offspring phenotype Normal Normal Sickled Offspring phenotypic ratio Normal 3 normal : 1 sickled The child of genotype HbS HbS has sickle cell anaemia. (iii) The presence of the malarial parasite (for the severe form of malaria) is the selective pressure. The parasite cannot survive in sickled red blood cells. Persons of genotype HbA HbA die of malaria and persons of genotype HbS HbS die of sickle cell anaemia. In carriers (genotype HbA HbS), the parasite is found only in their normal red blood cells. The parasite population in carriers is therefore too small to cause malaria to kill them. Carriers have a selective advantage over persons with normal red blood cells (genotype HbA HbA), since they survive long enough to reproduce and transmit the HbS allele to future generations. This causes the frequency of the HbS allele to be high in areas where malaria is present, that is, there are many carriers in the population. 113 1. (a) (i) GRAPH SHOWING THE RATE OF REACTION OF ENZYME X AT DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES 114 (ii) 30 °C (iii) 5 - 30 °C: The kinetic energy of the substrate and enzyme increased. This caused them to have increased molecular motion and so, increased rates of collision between the enzyme’s active site and the substrate. This resulted in a steadily increasing rate of product formation, that is, rate of reaction. The enzyme works optimally at 30 °C. >40 °C: The enzymes are proteins and so it was denatured at these temperatures. The shape of the active site was distorted and the substrate could not bind to it. This caused a sharp decrease in the rate of product formation (rate of reaction) until it reached zero (the reaction stopped). (iv) Use equal volumes of enzyme in the test tubes at each temperature. Alternative responses include repetition of experiment or any measure taken to ensure that temperature was the only manipulated variable. (b) (c) (i) - Pepsin - Trypsin Alternative responses are chymotrypsin, erepsin, etc. (ii) - Stomach - Small intestine/duodenum (iii) - Different enzymes work optimally at different pH levels. Compartmentalisation of enzymes allows the digestive tract to maintain the required pH in each compartment. - Enzymes are specific. The product of one enzymatic reaction may be the substrate for a subsequent one, e.g. the action of pepsin produces polypeptides, which are the substrates for trypsin. Separation of these enzymes in order of the stages of protein digestion allows greater efficiency of digestion. This ensures that digestion is completed prior to absorption. (i) Mutualism (ii) The peanut plant gains a supply of NO3- from the nitrogen-fixing action of the bacteria. The bacteria gain a supply of energy and a habitat (protection against extremes of environmental conditions, e.g. pH), from the plant. Neither partner harms the other. 115 (iii) 1) Blend the peanut in as little water as possible, to obtain a suspension. 2) Measure 2.0 mL of the suspension into a test tube. 3) Add 2.0 mL of NaOH(aq) to the tube and mix the contents of the tube. 4) Add 4 drops of CuSO4 (aq) and mix the contents. 5) Observe any colour changes – if the CuSO4 (aq) changes from blue to purple/violet, the peanuts contain protein. (iv) - Synthesis of enzymes: enzymes are protein molecules needed to catalyse all their metabolic reactions. - Growth: protein is used in the synthesis of compounds associated with cell division and enlargement (tissue formation), e.g. synthesis of cell membranes and nuclei. Alternative responses may describe the role of protein in repair of tissue or storage of nutrients. 2. (a) (i) - Plant cells contain a cell wall around their cell membrane but animal cells do not possess a cell wall. - Plant cells contain large, central, permanent vacuoles bot the vacuoles of animal cells are small, temporary and may be located anywhere in the cytoplasm. - Plant cells store glucose as starch grains but animal cells contain glycogen granules as their store of glucose. An alternative response may refer to chloroplasts. (ii) - The DNA of prokaryotic cells is circular and free in the cytoplasm (not enclosed in a nuclear membrane). The DNA of eukaryotic cells is linear and enclosed in a nuclear membrane. - Prokaryotic cells contain no membrane-bound organelles. Respiration and photosynthesis (for photosynthetic ones) occur on infoldings of the cell membrane. Eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. Alternative responses include size of ribosomes, presence of flagella or composition of cell wall, etc. (b) (i) Cell wall: It prevents entry of some pathogens and prevents the cell from bursting by limiting its intake of water (by exertion of an inward pressure to resist the outward turgor pressure). 116 (c) (ii) Cell membrane: it separates the cytoplasm from the extracellular environment and it regulates the entry and exit of materials into and out of the cell. (i) Water moves down its concentration gradient by osmosis: from the cytoplasm and into the sucrose solution. The loss of water causes the cytoplasm to shrink and the cell is now crenated. (ii) Water moves down its concentration gradient by osmosis: from the sucrose solution and into the cytoplasm. The intake of water causes the cytoplasm to expand and exert a pressure against the cell membrane. The cell membrane is not strong enough to resist the pressure and it bursts, that is, lysis occurs. (iii) Concentrated sucrose solution: Water moves down its concentration gradient by osmosis: from the cytoplasm and into the sucrose solution. The loss of water causes the cytoplasm to shrink and the cell membrane pulls away from the cell wall, becoming visible, except at the plasmodesmata. The cell undergoes plasmolysis and becomes flaccid. Distilled water: Water moves down its concentration gradient by osmosis: from the sucrose solution and into the cytoplasm. The intake of water causes the cytoplasm to expand and exert a pressure against the cell membrane and cell wall. The tough, inelastic cell wall resists this pressure. It exerts an inward pressure, equal to the outward turgor pressure, and so prevents further expansion of the cytoplasm. The cell membrane does not burst. The cell becomes turgid. 3. (a) (i) A: platelet B: white blood cell or leucocyte C: red blood cell or erythrocyte (ii) Platelets (b) D: platelets E: thrombin F: fibrin (c) (i) Male parent’s genotype: XHY Male parent’s gametes (xH) and (Y) Gametes XH Y XH X XH XHY H Xh XH Xh Xh Y 117 (ii) 1 in 4 or 0.25 or 25% (iii) Male The males do not have a second allele for blood clotting. Any allele on their only X chromosome will be expressed, without any chance of a recessive allele being suppressed. The males produced from this cross have a 50% chance of inheriting the recessive haemophiliac allele from their mother. All the females of the cross shown inherit a dominant allele (XH) from their father. This will mask the expression any Xh allele they may have inherited from their mother. None of these females will be haemophiliacs. (d) 4. (a) Pathogens are likely to enter and cause infections at a break in the skin. A blood clot, at a break in the skin, dries to form a tough waterproof barrier which prevents entry of pathogens while new skin is formed underneath. In haemophiliacs, blood does not clot and no mechanical barrier is formed. They have an increased risk of infection. Humans: 1) Deoxygenated blood flows from the heart through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. 2) Deoxygenated blood flows through the alveolar capillaries surrounding the alveoli. 3) The external intercostal muscles contract, the internal intercostal muscles relax and the diaphragm contracts. 4) The volume of the thorax (and lungs) increases. 5) The pressure within the lungs decreases until it is lower than atmospheric pressure. 6) Air (containing oxygen) flows down a pressure gradient, from the atmosphere and through the mouth/nose, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and into alveoli. 7) Oxygen dissolves in the moisture lining the alveoli. 8) Oxygen diffuses from the moisture in the alveoli, across the alveolar wall, capillary wall, blood plasma and into the red blood cells. 9) Oxygen combines with haemoglobin, forming oxyhaemoglobin. 10) Oxygenated blood flows to the lungs in the pulmonary vein. 11) Oxygenated blood is pumped out of the heart into the aorta, which divides into arteries (one artery supplying blood to each organ. The oxygen is now available for delivery to cells. 118 Plants: The oxygen content of respiring cells is low. Oxygen in intercellular spaces of the leaves diffuses into respiring cells, lowering the concentration of oxygen in intercellular spaces. This creates an oxygen concentration gradient from the atmosphere to the intercellular spaces. Oxygen diffuses from the air, through stomata, to the intercellular spaces. Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is also used in respiration. (b) Cigarette smoke contains nicotine, tar, soot and carbon monoxide. 1) Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reducing the supply of oxygenated blood to respiring cells. 2) Haemoglobin has a greater affinity for carbon monoxide than for oxygen. Less oxyhaemoglobin and more carboxyhaemoglobin is formed, reducing the amount of oxygen carried by blood to respiring cells. 3) Tar and soot line the alveoli and airways, irritating them and stimulating mucus production. Nicotine inhibits the action of cilia, so mucus accumulates in the lungs. This reduces the volume available for air (and oxygen) within the lungs and airways. 4) Mucus reduces the surface area available for diffusion of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood, as it forms a physical barrier between the oxygen and the alveolar wall. 5) The immune system responds to the chemicals of the smoke by stimulating inflammation. Elastase (an enzyme) is produced which destroys the elastic fibres of airways. This reduces their ability to expand and contract and the volume of air exchanged (and so, the amount of oxygen entering) is reduced. 6) Lung cancers may form, especially at the start of the bronchioles. These growths occupy space and reduce the volume available for the entry of air (and oxygen.) Alternative responses include the destruction of alveolar walls, reducing the surface area for gaseous exchange. 5. (a) (i) Blood flows in the direction of the arrows below: Lungs Pulmonary veins Pulmonary veins Left atrium of heart Left atrium Left ventricle through bicuspid valve Left ventricle Aorta through semilunar valve Aorta Arteries supplying all organs/rest of body (ii) - Hypertension - Coronary heart disease Alternative responses: atherosclerosis, deep vein thrombosis, etc. 119 (b) B-lymphocytes produce antibodies which destroy pathogens or neutralise their toxins. Pathogens engulf and digest pathogens. T-lymphocytes destroy virally infected cells and cancerous cells. Chemotherapy destroys all these white blood cells, reducing their populations. The body therefore contains less of the cells responsible for protection of the body against disease, that is, decreased natural immunity. (c) Peter receives the injection because his body already contains the pathogens and the antiserum injection would have an immediate effect against the quick-acting pathogens. A vaccine contains attenuated or genetically modified pathogens. It purpose is to introduce antigens into the body. This would stimulate production of antibodies to destroy the introduced pathogens, but more significantly, memory cells against the introduced pathogens are produced. If those pathogens enter the body at a later time, there are sufficient B-lymphocytes (memory cells) to quickly effect an immune response. When Peter’s foot was punctured, pathogens entered. His B-lymphocytes with receptors complementary to the pathogens would stimulate antibody production. He does not need a vaccine since his body already contains the pathogens. The production of antibodies by his B-lymphocytes takes a longer time than it takes for the tetanus pathogens to produce a severe, often fatal, effect on the body. The tetanus pathogens are very quick-acting. The antiserum injection contains artificially prepared antibodies against the pathogens. They destroy the pathogens (or neutralise their toxins) as soon as they enter the body. The pathogens are destroyed before they could exert harmful or fatal effects on his body. 6. (a) This is done by recombinant DNA technology, as follows: 1) The gene for insulin production is isolated by removing it from human DNA/chromosomes using a restriction enzyme. Alternatively, knowledge of the base sequence of the gene may be used to synthesise it. 2) The isolated gene is cloned (multiple copies are made). 3) Vectors (plasmids from E. coli) are isolated by removing them from the E. coli. These plasmids contain a marker gene, that is, a gene which is easily identified. 4) The vectors are cut open with the same restriction enzyme as was used in isolation of the gene. 5) The genes are inserted in the vectors (one gene per vector) using DNA ligase. 6) The recombinant vectors are re- introduced into E. coli. 7) The E. coli are screened for the presence of recombinant vector, using the marker gene. 120 8) The E. coli which have taken up the vector are cultured. They contain the human gene for insulin production. When they produce insulin, it accumulates in their cells. At intervals, batches of these insulin-containing bacteria are removed and the insulin is extracted from them and purified. (b) (i) Artificial selection Slower process, as it involves several generations of cross-breeding in order to breed out undesirable traits or breed in desirable ones. The results of crossing are unpredictable, to an extent. Done at the level of the organism – sexual reproduction is involved Genetic engineering Faster process since humans have more control over the transfer of alleles. Organisms with desirable traits can be produced in one generation. Done at the molecular level – genes are removed from organisms and inserted into cells of recipient organisms Genes of a species may be inserted into cells of organisms of another. New traits are created for the recipient species. Involves intraspecific transfer of genes, as they are transferred by sexual reproduction. There is no import of traits from another species. Traits which are already present in the species are selected. Clusters of related genes are Recipients receive an isolated gene transferred together. without the accompanying genes which were associated with the gene (in the donor organism). There are no unknown or There are unknown and unpredictable unpredictable long term effects on the effects on both the genetically organisms produced by this method modified organisms and non-target species. More labour intensive, as it involves Less labour intensive, as it is done in a rearing organisms, in fields or farms laboratory and involves working with and breeding them cells and molecules rather than whole organisms. Cheaper initial costs More expensive (initially), as it involves research, expertise and purchase of laboratory supplies. The price and demand of genetically modified products may cause the process to be cheaper in the long term. 121 (ii) - It is cheaper since it is produced by bacteria. Culture of bacteria is relatively cheap and simple. They reproduce very quickly. - It is less likely to cause allergic reactions or other side effects, since the insulin gene from humans is used. The insulin produced is therefore a human protein. It is more effective on humans than insulin from another animal. - It is accepted by persons of various religions, cultures and lifestyles. People are comfortable with the idea of introduction of a human protein in their bodies, rather than one from another animal. Vegans and persons of some religious beliefs may prefer to avoid use of protein from animals/certain animals. 122 1. (a) (i) To investigate the effect of temperature on germination. (ii) Tube A At 20 °C, the enzymes necessary for germination have more kinetic energy, that is, they are more activated. They therefore show greater activity. (iii) - Water is used to hydrolyse insoluble complex food stores such as starch and protein to soluble simple molecules such as glucose and amino acids (used for respiration and growth of embryo.) - Water is used as a solvent for transport of hydrolysed food to the growing embryo. Alternative responses include splitting of the testa, etc. (b) (i) Growth movement (phototropism). An alternative response is part movement. (ii) Plants grow towards light or Plants are positively phototropic. (iii) - Cover the opening at the side with opaque material and cut an opening at the top of the box. - Adjust the handle/neck of the lamp such that the plants are illuminated directly from above. (iv) In the light-dependent stage, chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light. Its energy is used for photolysis of water – it is split into hydrogen and oxygen. In the light-independent stage, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere diffuses through stomata, intercellular spaces and into the mesophyll cells. It combines with hydrogen produced by photolysis of water to form glucose. Some of it is used to form starch. The oxygen from photolysis of water is released as a waste product. The process is summarised as: light absorbed by chlorophyll 6CO2 6H2O C6 H12O6 6O2 123 (v) Carbon dioxide diffuses through the stomata into the intercellular spaces of the leaf. Some carbon dioxide produced in respiration is already present in leaves. Root hairs absorb water by osmosis from the soil. It moves by osmosis across the root and enters the root xylem. It moves up the xylem largely by the transpiration pull (tension generated in xylem by evaporation and loss of water through stomata), and to a lesser extent, by capillarity (adhesion and cohesion). In this way, it travels up the xylem of the root, stem and leaves. It leaves the leaf xylem by osmosis and enters mesophyll cells. (c) (i) 1) 2) 3) 4) Boil the leaves in water until they are soft. Boil the leaves in ethanol until they are decolourised. Submerge the leaves in hot water until they are soft. Spread the leaves on a white tile and cover them with iodine solution (I2/KI(aq)) 5) If the iodine solution changes from yellow/brown to blue-black, starch is present in the leaves. (ii) Seeds (cotyledon or endosperm) Alternative responses include storage organs (corms, tubers, rhizomes, etc.), fruits, roots and stem, etc. 2. (a) (b) (iii) - Liver - Muscles (i) Prokaryote (ii) Multicellular (iii) Amoeba (or any other example) (iv) Plantae (v) Animalia (i) A species is a group of individuals that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. 124 (c) (ii) Humans may differ very much in physical appearance, e.g. body shape, skin colour and height. This variation is due, in part, to their possession of different alleles of the SAME GENES. Organisms in possession of the same genes are genetically similar enough to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Some variation in morphology is due to varying environmental influences and not to differences in alleles. This means that humans are genetically more similar than their appearance suggests. (iii) - Organisms may be very similar in morphology but may not be closely related enough genetically to interbreed and produce fertile offspring. - Organisms may be closely related enough genetically to interbreed and produce fertile offspring, yet show tremendous variation in morphology, due to mutation, sexual reproduction, environmental influences and stage of development/life cycle. (i) They were no longer able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring with the lizards of the place/land from where they came. (ii) - In the mountains, less atmospheric oxygen was a selection pressure, causing lizards of smaller size to be selected for (they can survive with less oxygen). - In the mountains, steep terrain was a selection pressure, causing lizards of smaller size to be selected for (they can climb vertical surfaces better). Alternative responses include identification of environmental differences between the highlands and lowlands, causing them to have different selection pressures, e.g. more food and larger habitats in the lowlands. 3. (a) (i) X: oestrogen Y: progesterone Z: ovulation (ii) X repairs the uterus wall (endometrium) after the preceding menstruation and inhibits the secretion of FSH. Y maintains the repaired endometrium, causing it to become thicker and glandular and preventing premature menstruation. It inhibits the secretion of FSH. (iii) X: ovary (produced by secondary and Graafian follicles) Y: ovary (produced by corpus luteum) Alternative responses include the placenta and adrenal glands. 125 (iv) Corpus luteum: It does not degenerate after a few days, but persists for three months. It continues to secrete progesterone. Uterus lining: It is not lost in menstruation, but gets thicker (increased number of blood vessels). The developing embryo is implanted within it and a placenta is formed at three months using foetal villi and the endometrium. (b) Pills may contain hormone-like compounds which thicken cervical mucus, preventing entry of sperm. Alternative responses include prevention of ovulation, implantation or repair of endometrium, etc. (c) 4. (a) - It may reduce the production of testosterone, preventing formation of sperm. There is no male gamete available for fertilisation. - It may decrease the motility of sperm, reducing their chance of making contact with the ovum in the correct orientation. - It may inhibit the development of sperm. Poorly developed sperm will be unviable. (i) The iris contains both radial muscles and circular muscles. These control the amount of light which enters the eye by varying the diameter of the pupil (through which the light enters). In dim light, the radial muscles contract and the circular muscles relax. This increases the diameter of the pupil, allowing more light to enter the eye. In bright light, the circular muscles contract and the radial muscles relax. This decreases the diameter of the pupil, allowing less light to enter the eye. (ii) The retina contains photoreceptors called rods and cones. Rods, unlike cones, are stimulated at low light intensities, as in the dimly lit room. The retina contains numerous rods so a large number of them is stimulated by the low amount of light entering Jenny’s eye. Their stimulation causes an impulse to be sent to the brain, where a black and white image of the furniture is perceived. Dilation of the pupil in the dimly lit room increases the number of light rays which are focussed on the rods. Cones, unlike rods, are stimulated at high light intensities, as occur when the lights are switched on. The retina contains cones, which are especially abundant in the fovea. These stimulated by the high amount of light 126 entering Jenny’s eye. Their stimulation causes an impulse to be sent to the brain, where a coloured image of the furniture is perceived.

(a) Carbohydrate: Location Enzyme Mouth Duodenum Small intestine Small intestine Small intestine Salivary amylase Pancreatic amylase Maltase Sucrase Lactase Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme starch maltose starch maltose maltose glucose sucrose glucose + fructose lactose glucose + galactose Glucose, fructose and galactose are absorbed by villi. 127 Protein: Location Stomach Stomach Duodenum Enzyme Pepsin Renin Trypsin Small intestine peptidases Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme protein polypeptides soluble casein insoluble casein polypeptides dipeptides protein polypeptides dipeptides amino acids Hydrochloric acid provides a low pH for the optimal action of pepsin and renin in the stomach. Sodium hydrogen carbonate neutralises the acidic chyme (when it leaves the stomach and enters the duodenum) and provides a high pH for the optimal action of trypsin. Amino acids are absorbed by villi. Lipid: Location Duodenum Small intestine Enzyme Lipase Lipase Hydrolysis reaction catalysed by enzyme fat fatty acids + glycerol fat fatty acids + glycerol Fatty acids and glycerol are absorbed by villi. (b) (i) Glucose (absorbed by the blood capillaries of the villi) is taken to the liver by the hepatic portal vein. It is then released in the general circulation and is present in the arteries supplying all organs. If its concentration is above 120 mg mL-1 blood, β cells of the pancreas are stimulated and they secrete insulin into the blood. Insulin stimulates cells to absorb glucose from the blood. In the cells, glucose is used as the substrate for respiration, yielding ATP. Insulin stimulates fat cells to absorb glucose molecules and convert them to fat. Muscle and liver cells absorb more glucose than other cells. In addition to using it as a respiratory substrate, they convert some of it to glycogen, under the influence of insulin. If the blood glucose concentration is less than 80 mg mL-1 blood, α cells of the pancreas are stimulated and they secrete glucagon into the blood. Glucagon stimulates liver cells to convert the stored glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood, raising the blood glucose level. 128 (ii) In a non-diabetic person, insulin is produced and this stimulates uptake of glucose by cells. In a diabetic person, insulin is not produced (type I diabetes) or the insulin has no effect on body cells (type II diabetes). Glucose is poorly absorbed by cells and so, it remains in the circulatory system. It remains at a high concentration in the blood while cells have insufficient, for use in respiration. The ATP yield is therefore less. Less is available for synthesis of fat and glycogen. The glucose is filtered out of the blood in the kidneys. All of it is not reabsorbed and some is expelled from the body in urine. Glucose is taken up by cells and assimilated by diabetic patients only if they use medication for this purpose. 6. (a) Predator-prey: garden lizard and earthworm A predator (garden lizard) is larger than its prey. It is a carnivorous (or omnivorous) animal which belongs to a higher trophic level than its prey. It is adapted for hunting and killing its prey. A prey (earthworm) is smaller than its predator. It is an herbivorous (or omnivorous) animal which belongs to a lower trophic level than its prey. It is hunted and killed by its predator. A garden lizard hunts, kills and eats an earthworm. Parasitism: fleas on a dog A host (dog) is larger than its parasites. It provides one or more benefits to the parasites and suffers harm in the process. It gains no benefits. A parasite (flea) is usually smaller than its host and lives in close association with it. It frequently lives in or on its host. It gains benefits such as nutrients or shelter from its host but gives none. It harms the host. Fleas live on the skin of a dog, buried under its hair. They suck the blood of the dog, gaining nutrients and shelter. The dog suffers loss of blood and nutrients. (b) (i) Advantages: It is specific: it will not destroy a range of organisms. Use of chemicals destroys non-target species as well. There is no risk of bioaccumulation of chemicals or biomagnification along food chains: it does not add fat-soluble chemicals to the environment which may enter organisms and become concentrated in their tissues. The introduced predators will reproduce and maintain the numbers of their population: chemicals would have to be re-applied at intervals, since the effects of chemicals are short-lived. 129 Alternative responses include lower cost and less labour involved, etc. Disadvantages: The introduced species may become invasive: the area to which the predators are introduced may have no natural predators (or other means of population control) for the introduced species. They may overpopulate the area and cause unpredicted effects on the population sizes of other organisms or on the environment. The introduced species may eat non-target species: the predators may prefer to eat organisms of a species other than the one it was intended to eat. This may also occur as the pest population declines. The introduced species may not be adapted to the environment: although the food source may be present, the predator may be susceptible to endemic pathogens or may not survive under the climatic conditions of its new environment. Alternative responses include the cost of replenishing predator populations after the pests are eliminated and the ecological effect of total elimination of pests, etc. (ii) Evolution of prey: 1) The presence of the predators is the selection pressure. 2) Prey which are adapted for escape from predators (e.g. quicker ones) survive long enough to reproduce and transmit their advantageous genotype to their offspring. Prey which are unable to escape are eaten and so, cannot reproduce and transmit their disadvantageous genotypes to subsequent generations. 3) Subsequent generations of prey contain an increasing proportion of the genotypes that enable escape from the predators. The disadvantageous genotypes are eventually eliminated. 4) All members of the prey population will eventually be adapted to escape from the predator. The prey population has evolved. An alternative response may describe evolution of the predator for more efficient capture of prey. 130 1. (a) A BAR GRAPH OF THE NUMBER OF ORGANISMS FOUND ON A TREE 131 (b) Pitfall trap – a bottle containing some bleach (or other chemical toxic to small creatures) is placed in a hole in the soil under the tree, with the top of the bottle at soil level. It is covered loosely enough to allow walking animals to fall in. The animals are later removed and recorded. Sheet and pooter – a sheet of fabric or plastic is spread under the tree. The branches are vigourously shaken, causing small animals to fall onto the sheet. A pooter may be used to collect them or photographs are taken of them. The animals are counted and recorded. There are alternative correct responses, e.g. capture/recapture, use of nets, transects and tracking devices, etc. (c) Arthropod: spider or ant or caterpillar (immature stage of an insect) Reptile: lizard Bird: egret Amphibian: tree frog (d) The wild pine is autotrophic – it converts the sun’s energy into chemical energy of complex organic molecules such as glucose, using simple inorganic molecules. It synthesises its own food. The other organisms are heterotrophic – they digest complex organic molecules which are synthesised or assimilated by other organisms, as their means of obtaining nutrients and energy. (e) (i) Relationship: Commensalism The wild pine (commensal) gains a benefit from the tree (it uses the tree for anchorage/support in a location at which it receives sunlight for photosynthesis). The tree (host) is unaffected (it receives neither harm nor benefit from the wild pine). (ii) The relationship between the vine and the tree is parasitism. Unlike the photosynthetic pine, the vine (parasite) receives nutrients from the tree. The tree (host) is negatively affected by the vine (it suffers loss of nutrients). The tree is unaffected by the presence of the pine. (iii) The vine absorbs nutrients from the phloem tubes of vascular bundles, depriving the tree of its nutrients. The presence of the vine blocks sunlight from reaching leaves, reducing photosynthesis. 132 (f) The ratio of green to brown lizards is the result of natural selection. The presence of predators is the selection pressure in the lizards’ environment. The favourable genotype is that for green colour, since it confers a selective advantage on lizards of the green phenotype: they are better camouflaged by the grass, they escape detection by predators long enough to reproduce multiple times. They are better adapted to their environment. The unfavourable genotype is that for brown colour, since it confers a selective disadvantage on lizards of the brown phenotype: they are less camouflaged by the grass, they are detected and eaten by predators and so do not survive long enough to reproduce many times. They are ill adapted to their environment. When organisms reproduce, they transmit their alleles to the members of the subsequent generation. Over several generations, the rates of survival, hence reproduction, hence transmission of alleles to subsequent generations, of the green lizards are higher than those of the brown lizards. The frequency of the allele for green colour increases, while that for brown colour decreases, within the population. With each generation, an increasing proportion of the lizards will be green until an equilibrium is reached with a high ratio of green to brown. This ratio is then maintained by continued natural selection. The number of green lizards will be observed to be higher. The population of lizards is therefore adapted to its environment (containing the selection pressure of predators) by the high proportion of its members with the favourable phenotype. 2. (a) (b) Carbohydrate – monosaccharides, e.g. glucose Protein – amino acids Fat – fatty acids and glycerol Protein: Amino acids diffuse through the epithelium of the villi and into the blood capillaries. The capillaries merge to form the hepatic portal vein which transports the amino acids to the liver. Fats: Fatty acids and glycerol diffuse through the epithelium of the villi and into the lacteals. The lacteals merge to form a lymph vessel, which eventually makes a junction with a blood vessel. The products enter the blood vessel and are taken to the liver. (c) (i) The pancreas secretes the enzymes trypsin, lipase and amylase. These are secreted through the pancreatic duct into the duodenum. Here the trypsin catalyses the hydrolysis of polypeptides to smaller peptides and 133 dipeptides. Lipase catalyses the hydrolysis of fats to fatty acids and glycerol and amylase catalyses the hydrolysis of starch to maltose. The pancreas also secretes hydrogencarbonate ions into the duodenum. These neutralise the acidic chyme from the stomach and create an environment of high pH, which is needed for optimum function of the enzymes. (ii) (d) Hormone X – insulin Hormone Y – glucagon When the blood glucose level decreases below the norm, glucagon stimulates the conversion of glycogen (stored in liver) to glucose, which is released into the blood, until the blood glucose level is once again within the norm. When the blood glucose level increases above the norm, insulin stimulates the conversion of glucose (from blood) to glycogen, which is stored in the liver, until the blood glucose level is once again within the norm. (e) 3. (a) (i) Person A The blood glucose level before eating, at 7:00 a.m. is very high on the first day. This value is much higher (300 mg dL-1) than that of a non-diabetic person. Blood glucose levels fluctuate widely. Blood glucose increases sharply and to very high levels after eating and decreases abruptly, suggesting the use of insulin injections rather than natural release of insulin. (ii) 60 – 130 mg dL-1 (i) I – bronchiole II – arteriole (branch of pulmonary artery) III – alveoli IV – alveolar capillaries (ii) Part II brings blood (low in O2, high in CO2) to the alveoli and removes blood (high in O2, low in CO2) from the alveoli. Part IV facilitates gaseous exchange by containing air (high in O2, low in CO2) in close proximity to the blood. It collects CO2 after gaseous exchange as the first step in its expulsion. 134 (b) (i) A smoker’s lungs may contain large air spaces (due to breakdown of alveolar walls) instead of the numerous small alveoli found in a nonsmoker. A smoker’s lungs may be darker coloured (due to deposition of carbon particles and tar) than those of a non-smoker. Alternative responses include increased mucus, less cilia, presence of lesions, tumours or fibrous tissue, constricted airways, etc. (ii) Non-smokers are exposed to less/no second-hand smoke and its associated risks (bronchitis, emphysema, cardiovascular disease and encouragement to smoke) Smokers are compelled to decrease their smoking (since they will be at public places at times). Alternative responses include decreased fire hazard, pollution from discarded ends of cigarettes, discomfort associated with smoke in one’s environment, etc. (iii) Addictive component – nicotine Negative impact – Withdrawal symptoms may be severe enough to cause unconsciousness, physical and mental dysfunction or may be even fatal. To avoid these extreme effects, an addict may invest the majority of his/her money and time on the procurement of the drug, at the expense of one’s responsibilities of family, health and job. (c) Numerous stomata provide a large surface area for diffusion of gases. Numerous air spaces in the spongy mesophyll layer allow gases to be in close proximity to mesophyll cells, allowing quick diffusion. An extensive network of xylem vessels ensure that the surfaces of the mesophyll cells are moist allowing dissolution of gases. 135 4. (a) DIAGRAM OF A REFLEX ARC Free nerve endings, called pain receptors, in the superficial area of the skin, are stimulated by heat (contact with the hot surface). An impulse is transmitted from the pain receptor to the CNS (most likely the spinal cord) by a sensory neurone within a sensory nerve. Within the CNS, the impulse is transmitted to a relay neurone. It is then transmitted to a motor neurone within a motor nerve. The motor nerve ends at the effector. When the impulse reaches the effector (muscle), it is stimulated to contract and the body is pulled away from the hot surface. The arrows on the diagram indicate the path of impulse transmission during this response. (b) Role: Vasodilation of capillaries in the skin occurs, increasing blood flow to the skin. This increases the volume of blood (containing heat) flowing close to the surface of the skin, allowing heat loss from the blood to the environment. Vasodilation also increases the volume of water (from blood plasma) which enters the sweat glands, increasing sweat production. Sweat absorbs heat from the body and evaporates, taking the heat into the atmosphere when it turns into water vapour. Hair erector muscles relax, allowing the hairs of the skin to lie flat against the skin, reducing the amount of warm air trapped between the skin and the hairs. This increases the temperature gradient between the body and the environment, encouraging heat loss. A reduction in body temperature is achieved by these heat loss mechanisms. Reason: Enzymes work optimally at specific temperatures. They are inactivated at lower temperatures and denatured at higher temperatures. Every metabolic reaction is catalysed by enzymes. If the body temperature is maintained at the optimum 136 temperature of the enzymes, metabolic reactions occur and so, physiological processes such as respiration occur at an optimum rate. (c) Factors: Release of greenhouse gases by human activity, e.g. combustion, emissions from industrial plants and vehicles – a blanket of gases above the atmosphere prevent heat from leaving the earth. Deforestation – green plants are the only natural means of removal of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) from the atmosphere. Removal of plants results in accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Negative effects: Flooding – this may destroy, or render uninhabitable, aquatic habitats such as swamps and lakes. Bogs, marshes and swamps often contain uncommon ecosystems. Destruction of such habitats increases the risk of elimination of entire populations or ultimately, extinction of certain species. Increase in incidence of pathogens, pests and carriers of disease – As temperate areas get warmer, such tropical organisms will migrate to these areas. Their presence may cause disruption of food chains / webs, loss of population control for some species and elimination of populations of other species. 5. (a) Physiological, e.g. hypertension Genetic/hereditary, e.g. sickle-cell anaemia Pathogenic, e.g. malaria Alternative responses include deficiency diseases, etc. and a variety of examples. (b) Natural and artificial immunity Actively acquired natural immunity – the body already experienced an infection, and produces antibodies in response to a second infection; Actively acquired artificial immunity – at a suitable time (not during an infection) the body is vaccinated with a treated antigen, so that the body is stimulated to produce antibodies. Passively acquired natural immunity – antibodies pass across the placenta/breast milk to provide the unborn/newborn with immunity; Passively acquired artificial immunity – the vaccine contains ready-made antibodies which destroy pathogens immediately. 137 Active immunity: Pathogens may enter a person. They bind to complementary B-lymphocytes. Antibodies and memory cells are produced. The pathogens are destroyed and the person is immune to that particular type of pathogens thereafter (since the memory cells are a larger population of B-lymphocytes than before the infection). If the pathogens entered naturally, as in a natural infection, the person shows actively acquired natural immunity. If the pathogens (a weakened form) were introduced deliberately to a non-infected individual, as in a vaccine, the person shows actively acquired artificial immunity. Passive immunity: Alternatively, the antibodies themselves may enter a person. They destroy any pathogens, present in the body, to which they are complementary. If the antibodies are transmitted from mother to foetus/child via the placenta or breast milk, the foetus/child shows passively acquired natural immunity. If artificially prepared antibodies are deliberately injected in the bloodstream of a person, the person shows passively acquired artificial immunity. Natural Active: the patient experiences signs and symptoms of the illness before immunity is acquired, since the concentration of pathogens introduced into the body is large. Active: the patient experiences no effects other than those of the introduced pathogens. Active: there is financial expense associated with alleviating signs and symptoms of the infection. Passive: immunity is provided during the early life of a person, and is specific against pathogens for which the mother produces memory cells, since the antibodies are secreted by the mother’s B-lymphocytes. Occurs without medical intervention. A person may be unaware of all the pathogens for which he/she has immunity from. Artificial Active: the person may experience mild signs and symptoms of an infection, e.g. a fever, before immunity is acquired. The introduced pathogens are low in concentration or are modified, so the person does not get full-blown symptoms or signs associated with the pathogens. Active: the person may experience side effects of a vaccine, since he/she may be allergic to a component of the vaccine preparation. Active: there is financial expense associated with purchase of the vaccine. This may be high. Passive: immunity is provided at the time/stage of life the person receives the artificially prepared antibodies. The person chooses which antibody preparation he/she will receive, that is, which pathogen he/she will be protected from. Occurs as a result of deliberate introduction of pathogens or antibodies. The person is aware of all the pathogens for which he/she has immunity from and the duration of the immunity. 138 Any three points from the above table may be used. Development of artificial immunity: 1. A vaccine is prepared. A vaccine contains the antigens of a particular pathogen. The vaccine is introduced orally or intravenously into the body. The antigens (in the vaccine) bind to the B-lymphocytes whose receptors are complementary to them. 2. The binding of the antigens to the complementary B-lymphocytes stimulates the B-lymphocytes to undergo multiple cell divisions involving mitosis. A clone of the selected B-lymphocytes is produced. 3. Some of the B-lymphocytes produced in step 2 secrete antibodies, which bind to and destroy the pathogens. Others secrete no antibodies but are long-lived. These are called memory cells and they are a larger population of Blymphocytes than existed before the introduction of the vaccine. If the body is subsequently infected by the same pathogen, there are enough B-lymphocytes (memory cells) to execute the same response and destroy the pathogens so quickly that the person experiences no signs or symptoms of the illness. The person has acquired immunity to the pathogen. 6.

(The other male gamete fuses with the endosperm nucleus). 139 (c) Parental phenotype father - normal mother – normal XHY Parental genotype Gametes X XHXh (XH) and (Y) (XH) and (Xh) Random fertilisation (XH) XHXH XHXh H (X ) (Xh) Offspring genotype XHXH XHXh XHY Offspring phenotype normal normal normal Offspring phenotypic ratio 3 normal : (Y) XHY XhY XhY haemophiliac 1 haemophiliac XhY is a haemophiliac male. 140 CHEMISTRY 141 1. (a) This is the study of the speed at which reactions occur. The rate of a reaction can be found by measuring the change in concentration of reactants or products per unit time.

Oxidizing agents gain electrons. 2H+(aq) H2(g) 0 (iii) Step 1: Convert mass of zinc to moles, 1 0.015 moles of Zn. 65 Step 2: Refer to mole ratio of Zinc and H2 in balanced equation 1:1 . From the mole ratio 0.015 moles of H2 will be produced. Step 3: Convert number of moles of H2 to volume by multiplying 0.015 by 24 dm3 0.36 dm3 of H2(g). (d) Experiment 2: This experiment produces more gas than experiment #1 because the concentration of reactant molecules is greater therefore the chances of collision is more frequent. Experiment 3: This produces the most because of increase surface area. More molecules can react at the same time and this increases the rate of reaction. Experiment 4: At lower temperature molecules have less energy to move and collide therefore the volume of gas is lowered with decrease rate of reaction. (e) (i) Magnesium granules (more reactive than zinc in the reactivity series) 142 (ii) (f) 2. (a) (i) Construction of a simple electric cell using a conductivity meter, power supply, measuring cylinder, beaker and test reagents: 1- Place an equal volume of diluted sodium chloride, hydrochloric acid and acetic acid using a measuring cylinder into separate beakers. 2- Place each beaker one at a time into the electric cell and measure the conductivity of the solution. Barium sulphate is a solid. (ii) Sodium chloride solution and hydrochloric acid are both strong conductors of electricity and are strong electrolytes. They would give a high reading on the conductivity meter. However, acetic is a weak electrolyte and will not give a high reading and Barium sulphate is insoluble in solution, that is it has no mobile electrons and will not conduct electricity. (i) Sublimation (ii) Light purple gas from the mixture of Iodine and sodium chloride will emerge and condense on the outer cool surface of the beaker with water. (iii) (iv) The intermolecular force of attraction in NaCl (ionic compound) is much stronger than simple molecules where the force of attraction is weaker in covalent bonds. The lattice structure in NaCl is giant sized and made up of thousands of molecules while I2 has a smaller structure with weak intermolecular forces of attraction therefore gently heating will vapourise I2 molecules. 143 (b) 3. (a) (i) This method is not suitable for separating the Fe from NaCl. (ii) The force of attraction within a Fe molecule is very strong. Fe has metallic bonding where strong intermolecular forces of attraction occur just like NaCl. Therefore, both of them need high temperatures to break up their structure. A magnet can be used to remove the iron fillings. (i) Compound A Name: Ethene (b) (c) 4. (a) Compound B Name: Propane (ii) Compound A burns in air with a sooty flame. N.B. alkenes contain fewer hydrogen atoms per molecule that results in a smokey flame. (iii) Equation: C2H4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) (i) Compound C is ethanoic acid. It is soluble in water because it contains a hydroxyl group (OH) that has a polar H or hydrophilic group that bonds to water easily/. Therefore making it very soluble in water. (ii) 2CH3COOH(aq) + Ca(s) (CH3COO)2Ca(aq) + H2(g) (i) A polymer is a compound that is made up of many smaller units forming a long chain-like molecule. Polymers can consist of thousands of single units joined together. (ii) a) Addition polymerization b) Polypropene c) Plastics Magnesium conducts electricity when solid because it has free (available) mobile electrons. Metallic bonding is present in magnesium. Here the metal has a neat arrangement of positive ions held together in a sea of free moving electrons. However, MgI2 bonding is ionic and the electrons are locked in a crystal lattice and are not free or mobile therefore it cannot conduct electricity. However, when MgI2 is molten or in solution it conducts electricity as the molecule separates into positive cations and negative anions. The cation can move towards the cathode 144 and accept electrons, the anion will move towards the anode and release electrons. This allows the solution or molten MgI2 to conduct electricity.

(a) (i) In process X Carbon dioxide dissolved in rain water and falls as carbonic acid. Process X is called precipitation (rainfall). Process Y is called photosynthesis. Here plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere 145 and combine it with water and minerals to make carbohydrates which is stored in plants and used when needed to release energy. (b) 6. (a) (ii) Process Z is combustion. An example of a fossil fuel is natural gas, methane CH4. Methane undergoes combustion as shown by the following equation: CH4(g) + O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(l). When fossil fuels burn or combust carbon dioxide is given off. Excess amounts or quantities of gas pollute the air by trapping heat causing the atmosphere to be hotter than its normal temperature. This warmer atmosphere causes a global phenomenon called global warming. Global warming is the direct cause of harmful effects such as melting of the ice caps and climate change, which results in excessive flooding and drought. (i) a) Since the formula of the oxide of metal R is RO, R cation is R2+ then the formula for R carbonate is RCO3(s). RCO3(s) RO + CO2 N.B. If R was more reactive than aluminium it could have been potassium or magnesium. Potassium and sodium carbonate undergo no reaction with heat. However, Mg will react to give oxide and carbon dioxide. b) 3M(s) + 2Al3+(aq) 3M2+(aq) + 2Al(s) e.g. 3M(s) + 2AlCl3(aq) 3MCl2(aq) + 2Al(s) Displacement reaction. Metal M is more reactive than Aluminium therefore it will displace Aluminium from solution. (ii) M is more reactive than R because it can displace Aluminium from solution therefore it will react more vigorously with dilute acid than with R. M is higher up the reactivity series than R which means it is more reactive. (iii) Both of them are metals. They have high melting and boiling points and a chemical property is that they react with acids to produce salt and hydrogen gas. (i) Source of chlorofluorocarbons - refrigerants, aerosols. Source of phosphates – Fertilizers, detergents, weathering of rocks. (ii) Chlorofluorocarbons destroy the ozone layer in the stratosphere that protect living organisms from the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet radiation (U.V.) This harmful radiation causes cancer. The chlorofluorocarbons break up the O3 (ozone) molecule to O2 and a free radical oxygen, O*. Phosphate is a nutrient that algae feeds on. Excessive phosphate can cause eutrophication or algae bloom. This excessive algae growth consumes all 146 the oxygen in the water, leaving none for other aquatic organisms. This can result in fish kills. (b) One advantage of landfills is all refuse or garbage that can cause disease and pollution can be contained in one area for neutralization or breakdown to harmless compounds. Some disadvantages of landfills are leachate of toxic pollutants and compounds can contaminate underground water supply and the mixing of pollutants can cause a new potent compound (synergistic effect). Also, the release of methane gas causes global warming and the landfill can harbor disease-causing organisms like rodents and pathogens. An advantage of an incinerator is that the heat produced can be used to heat water to steam, then to steam turbines for electricity generation. Disadvantages of incinerators are it produces large amounts of ash that has to be disposed of in landfills and it releases atmospheric pollutants like carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds. Therefore, it not only causes land pollution but will also cause air pollution. Recycling reduces the need for raw material for the manufacture of new products. Therefore it reduces the strain of exploration and extraction of new raw materials. Disadvantages associated with recycling include the high start-up cost and large amounts of recyclable material needed for the process to be economically viable and a large area needed for collecting, storing and processing of recyclable materials. Valuable productive forested and agricultural land can be lost for building of recycling plants. 147 1.

(RMM of KI 166) 177 g Number of moles of KI in 177 g 166 1.067 moles Step 2: 1.067 moles of KI are present in 177g in 100 cm3. (Find the amount of moles in 1000 cm3 to find the molarity.) 100 cm3 of KI 1.067 moles 1.067 1 cm3 of KI moles 100 1.067 1000 cm3 of KI 1000 100 10.67 moles (b) Potassium Iodide is an ionic compound that is polar. Polar solvents will dissolve in polar solutes. Water and potassium iodide is polar so the potassium iodide will dissolve in water. Ethanol however, is polar but not as polar as water therefore the potassium iodide is only slightly soluble in ethanol. (c) (i) Barium Nitrate or silver nitrate, beaker, Bunsen burner, retort stand, evaporating dish, filter paper, filter funnel and conical flask. (ii) Dissolve both salts in water as both of them are soluble. To this mixture add a spatula of Barium Nitrate. This will react to give barium sulphate which is insoluble. The barium sulphate can be removed by simple filtration while the sodium chloride left in the solution can be obtained by recrystallisation. Another method is to dissolve both soluble salts in water. Then add silver nitrate to it. The silver nitrate will react to remove the chloride leaving behind barium nitrate in solution that can be obtained by recrystallisation. (iii) Both salts will dissolve to give a clear solution – Upon adding the reagent (barium nitrate or silver nitrate) a white precipitate will be seen. 149 (d) TABLE 2: TEST FOR IONS PRESENT IN Q (i) (ii) 2. (a) (i) Test A small amount of solid Q was placed in a test tube and heated over a Bunsen burner. A solution of potassium iodide was added to a solution of Q. Observation A brown gas was produced. Damp blue litmus changed to red. A bright yellow precipitate was formed. Inference Nitrogen gas was given off. NO3- ions present. Acidic gas given off. This indicates that Pb2+(aq) + 2I-(aq) PbI2(s)(yellow) X is more easily ionized than Mg or those above it in the periodic table. The ease of ionization increases down the group II. Explanation: As you go down group II metals, the atom is getting bigger as more filled shells are added. The force of attraction between the outermost electron and inner protons is getting weaker as the filled shells shield or reduce the attractive force of the valence electron and the nucleus therefore the outer electron is lost easily. (ii) Cl has a stronger oxidizing power than Y. Explanation: Chlorine has a stronger oxidizing power than Y because it has less filled shells than Y and the shield effect is less. The force of attraction between the outer valence electrons and the nucleus is very strong. Chlorine will gain electrons and it will cause other atoms to lose electrons therefore chlorine is a powerful oxidizing agent. (b) (c) (i) Both X and Y is solids. (ii) X is a metal it is hard (metallic bonding), has a high melting and boiling point while Y (non-metal) has covalent bonding and has a lower melting and boiling point. (i) Covalent bonding 150 (ii) (iii) 3. (a) (b) PY3 is the chemical formula. This covalent compound has a low melting point and boiling point. It does not dissolve in polar solvents e.g. water and it does not conduct electricity in solution. It is soluble in non-polar organic solvents. This is the breaking up of long chain hydrocarbons into small ones by the use of heat or catalysts or by both. Shorter chains of lower molecular mass hydrocarbons are produced.

(a) (b) a) P and R b) Q or S Polyesters Four factors that influence the rate of reaction are: surface area, temperature, catalyst and concentration of reactants. For some reactions: light intensity and pressure. (i) The total volume of CO2 produced is 124cm3. N.B. each small block represents 4cm3 of CO2. (ii) To find the mass of CaCO3 used you must convert the volume of Carbon dioxide produced to moles then use the balanced equation to find the equivalent number of moles of CaCO3 used. Finally, convert moles of CaCO3 to mass by multiplying the number of moles by its RMM. Volume of CO2 produced Step 1: Convert volume of CO2 to Moles R.T.P. 124 24 000 0.005 2 moles of CO2 R.T.P 24 dm3 but since CO2 produced in cm3 convert to cm3 by multiplying by 1000. Step 2: Use balanced equation to find the number of moles of CaCO3 required 1:1 mole ratio between CaCO3 and CO2. This means 0.0052 moles of CaCO3 is needed to produce 0.0052 moles of CO2. Step 3: Convert moles of CaCO3 to mass by multiplying number of moles of CaCO3 by RMM. RMM of CaCO3 100 g Mass of CaCO3 100 g 0.0052 moles 0.52 g (iii) Using powdered Calcium carbonate instead of chipped will reduce the reaction time for the experiment. This will occur because the surface area in powdered Calcium carbonate is increased. This means that more particles can react or are exposed for reaction at any given time when compared to the chip. 152 (c) (i) Metals are often combined to make alloys because this combination produces improved and more durable properties than the individual metals. (ii) Metals high in the reactivity series will react and displace those lower from solution. Manganese is higher than hydrogen therefore it will react with dilute acids but copper is lower than hydrogen and it will not react will dilute acids. Step 1: React the mixture (alloy) with dilute acids, the manganese will react but not copper. Step 2: Filter the resulting mixture and collect the residue (this is copper.) Step 3: Wash the residue with water and dry to collect sample of copper. 5. (a) (i) The name of the electrolyte is brine (concentrated sodium chloride.) The ions present is Na+ (aq), Cl-(aq) and H+(aq), OH-(aq). (ii) At the cathode, H+ ions from the water are preferentially discharged, because it is lower in the electrochemical series than the Na+ ions. At the anode the Cl- ions are preferentially discharged because they are in a high concentration. N.B. For positive ions the least reactive metal/element will get discharged because they have the tendency to become atoms while more reactive metals have a greater tendency to become ions. (b) (iii) At the anode: 2Cl-(aq) Cl2(g) + 2eAt the cathode: 2H+(aq) + 2e- H2(g) (iv) The ion exchange membrane is to prevent the Cl-(aq) and OH-(aq) ions from mixing. It allows the Na+ ion to pass through to react with OH- from water to get NaOH solution (sodium hydroxide.) It prevents the H+ from reacting with Cl- to produce HCl (hydrochloric acid). (i) The anode will decrease its size, it will become thinner as the solid Cu(s) will go into solution Cu(aq). (ii) The ionic equation at the cathode: Cu(aq) + 2e- Cu(s) One mole of Cu(s) requires 2 moles of e-.

(a) (i) Ozone depletion – main pollutant is Ozone depleting substances such as CFCs. Global warming – main pollutant is carbon dioxide. (ii) Harmful effects of Ozone depletion are: Increase in skin cancer Increase in cataract of the eyes lower crop yield lower productivity of the ocean (iii) Harmful effects of global warming: climate change (more hurricanes/drought) melting of ice caps/loss of habitat for polar bears heat waves rise in sea level lower crop yield and ocean productivity death to plants and animals that cannot adapt to warmer temperatures 154 (b) (c) Hoteliers going green can assist by: (i) Water use – use waste water to water plants and lawn washing of towel and sheets in large wash only have signs indicating to reuse towels and place to wash only when dirty have signs in rooms to turn off taps when not in use e.g. while brushing of teeth taps with timers to wash hands can be installed in bathrooms (ii) Garbage disposal – recycling bins around hotels and in rooms all biodegradable waste to be disposed of in compost heap use less plastic in hotel restaurants, use washable utensils (iii) Energy use – special keys to enter room that will power it (AC/lights) and which is removed when locking and leaving the room. This will ensure that the utilities are not left on after leaving rooms Use solar water heaters on roof for hot water Use energy saving light bulbs (led and fluorescent) throughout hotel Motion sensor lights I totally agree with the statement because it sets limits on how much one country can pollute without damaging the environment. It sets a fair playing field for all countries as excessive pollutants from one country can affect others and even globally. If these standards are not followed, the country which violated it should not be able to trade goods and services with countries who abide with the standards. In order to maintain a clean, healthy environment for all forms of life to live and flourish all countries must follow common rules and standards that will allow life to survive. 155 1. (a) (i) Salts are formed when metal ions or ammonium ions take the place of the replaceable hydrogen(s) of an acid. A normal salt is formed if all the replaceable hydrogen of the acid is removed.

In part A the end point was identified therefore in part B there was no need to add indicator as the end point in A is the volume used in B. (iv) Collect the filtrate and evaporate the water. The solution of the salt must be evaporated to dryness over a beaker of boiling water. N.B. in the preparation of a hydrated salt, the solution of the salt must not be evaporated to dryness, but left to crystallize.

The more reactive metal can displace the less reactive metal from solution. Experiment 2: Zinc is higher than copper in the reactivity series therefore it will displace it from solution. The copper is deposited at the bottom of the beaker. In addition to this as the copper gets displaced the blue solution slowly fades away. 3. (a) Compound B: Alkanes Compound C: Carboxylic acids/organic acid (b) C2H6O(l) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 3H2O(l) (c) More soluble compound: A Reason: Compound A contains a polar OH that is hydrophilic i.e. a water loving group. N.B. the small alcohols like methanol and ethanol are completely soluble in water owing to the polar nature of the OH group. However, solubility decreases as the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol increases. (d) More reactive compound: C Reason: Compound C is a weak acid that dissociates to give H+ ions that will readily react with sodium metal to give salt and hydrogen gas. The OH in the acid is more reactive than the OH in alcohol. (e) Equation: + Na(s) Propanoic acid + H2(g) Sodium propanoate 2C2H5COOH(aq) + 2Na(s) 2C2H5COONa + H2(g) (f) Use a glowing splint.

The element M will give up two electrons to two chloride atoms. The element M will be positively charged (+2) while each chlorine atom on accepting the electrons will turn to chloride ion anion (-ve) negatively charged. The difference in charges will attach the molecules together in a bond. (i) (ii) Graphite is a made of carbon only and belongs to group IV. Graphite bonding is unique as it has mobile e- (electrons) that can conduct an electric current. Graphite is an excellent electrode as it conduct an electric current and does not take part in the chemical reactions, it is inert. While element M is in group 2 and it is a metal that is fairly reactive. If element M is used as an electrode it can take part in the chemical reaction as it acts as an active electrode. It can break down during electrolysis process. BONDING IN CHLORINE 160 5. (a) (b) (c) 6.

Water leaves the atmosphere by rain (precipitation), snow, fog, mist, hail. (ii) Trees absorb water from the environment in liquid form and return it, transfer or convert it to vapour form back to the environment and return pure water vapour to the atmosphere where it will condense and fall as rain. Building of homes by removal of trees will greatly hamper the process and decrease the flow in the water cycle. (i) R(OH)2 stable, no decomposition (ii) The carbonate of R is stable and no decomposition. The carbonate of T will yield oxide and carbon dioxide. (iii) R is more reactive than T it will bond faster to other elements or substances in nature to form stable compounds. (i) Pollution is the contamination of land, air or water environment by harmful or poisonous substances. These harmful substances are called pollutants. Once something is contaminated with harmful pollutants it is unfit for human use. (ii) The environment refers to the natural surroundings of living organisms including living things (biotic component) and non-living (abiotic components) that affect the organisms. The main pollutants responsible for global warming are carbon dioxide and methane. The pollutants responsible for acid rain are nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide. Carbon dioxide comes from the combustion of fossil fuel while methane comes from the decomposition of dead organic matter. Nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide comes from the combustion of fossil fuel in factories, power plants and motor vehicles. Fossil fuel methane, natural gas, CH4(g) + 2O2(g) CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) HNO2(aq) + HNO3(aq) 2NO2(g) + H2O(l) 161 Nitrous acid nitric acid SO2(g) + H2O(l) H2SO3(aq) Sulphurous acid Global warming can lower agriculture yield/increase pest infestation, increase in temperature destroys eco-tourism in the ocean by destroying coral reefs (bleaching). Increase chances of acquiring skin cancer due to hotter temperatures. Acid rain kills crops, and microbes in soil which decreases productivity. It makes lakes and streams acidic, killing aquatic life like fish and shell fish that is an important food source from agriculture. Acid rain changes the pH of soil, leaves acid droplets that may damage crops and harm animals that eat vegetation. It can also cause corrosion of buildings and machinery. Global warming results in melting of the polar ice caps, increase flooding and changes in the weather (climate change). This unpredicted weather is dangerous as hurricanes and other natural disasters can destroy agriculture, wildlife, homes and endanger lives. Acid rain destroys monuments and historic sites that tourists visit making the site unattractive. These pollutants can be reduced by burning less fossil fuels and developing more efficient conversion methods in obtaining energy from fossil fuel and switching to alternative, less polluting energy sources like solar and wind. 162 (i) Figure 1.

(ii) The reaction is a displacement reaction. The Mg ribbon is more reactive than Fe in solution. The Mg will displace Fe from solution and Fe will be deposited on the bottom of the beaker as a reddish solid. (iii) 3Mg(s) + 2FeCl3(aq) 3MgCl2(aq) + 2Fe(s) (iv) The contents of beaker A will change to a lighter yellowish colour than beaker B because the reaction is occurring at a much faster rate while more Fe will be deposited in beaker A than B. (v) The greater the surface area of a Mg ribbon means more molecules of Mg is exposed to the solution to react. Therefore the surface area of beaker A is greater and will react faster, displacing Fe from FeCl3 solution faster than beaker B so the yellowish solution of FeCl3 will fade faster in A and slower in B. (i) Acidified Potassium dichromate or acidified potassium permanganate. (ii) The acidified potassium dichromate will change from orange to green while acidified potassium permanganate will change from purple to colourless. Explanation: When dilute acid reacts with sulphite, sulphur dioxide gas is produced. This gas is a reducing agent and will reduce acidified potassium dichromate or potassium permanganate to the colour seen above.

(a) (iii) Solution Y will be Calcium hydroxide. The CO2 produced will turn it milky white. (i) Element X will react with water more vigorously than K. 164 (b) (ii) The solution formed from this reaction will be basic. When X reacts with water the hydroxide of X is produced. X is a metal. Metal oxides and hydroxides are basic while non-metals form acid solutions. (i) 2,8,2 (ii) QCO3 (iii) QCO3(s) + HCl(aq) QCl2(aq) +H2O(l) + CO2(g) N.B. Q and Mg belongs to the same group therefore they will react the same way. (c) When metals react with a non-metal the bonding is ionic. The metal ion will give up one of the electron to become Na+ cation while the non-metal Z will accept two electrons to become Z2- anion. Since Z needs two electrons, two Na atoms will each give up one electron. The electrostatic force of attraction between the two oppositely charged ions causes the ions to form a strong ionic bond. 2Na+ + Z2- Na2Z (d) (i) A reddish brown gas will be given off. The gas is NO2(g). If a glowing splint is placed at the mouth of the test tube it will relight, indicating that O2(g) is given off. N.B. K, Na nitrate will decompose to give nitrate of metal and oxygen gas while Ca to Cu nitrate will decompose to give metal oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen gas. (ii) Step 1: Convert given mass of Ca(NO3)2 to moles. This can be done by dividing the given mass by its RMM. 5 0.030 moles of Calcium nitrate reacted 64 Step 2: Using the balanced equation given in (d) calculate the number of moles of NO2(g) produced using its proportional ratio. 2 moles of Ca(NO3)2(S) will produce 4 moles of NO2(g). 1:2 Therefore, 0.030moles of calcium nitrate will produce 0.060moles of NO2(g). 165 Step 3: Convert moles of NO2(g) produced to volume by multiplying it by RTP i.e. 0.060moles of NO2(g) 24000 cm3 1440 cm3 of NO2(g) produced. 3.

(ii) (b) (i) Isomer 1 Isomer 2 Butane 2-methylpropane Test: You can bubble the two gases separately in a solution of acidified potassium permanganate or bromine water. Observation: Compound A will decolourise both reagents. Acidified potassium permanganate will turn colourless from a purple solution while bromine water will turn colourless from a brown liquid. (ii) Equation: C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) (iii) Use for Compound A: This compound can be used in polymerization to make plastics such as polypropene. Use for Compound B: This can be used as a fuel, when it burns it releases a large amount of energy. (c) (i) X is water as steam. (ii) Name: propan-2-ol N.B. OH is on Carbon atom number 2. Homologous series: Alcohols. 166 4. (a) (b) (i) Magnesium oxide is a solid with a high melting point because the bond is ionic due to the strong electrostatic force of attraction between the two oppositely charged ions which causes the ions to form a strong bond. The ions are pulled closer to each other to form a solid in a lattice structure. A large amount of energy is needed to break this strong bond therefore the melting point is very high. Oxygen and sulphur are both non-metals. The bonding is much weaker than those of Magnesium and oxygen. The bond between sulphur and oxygen is covalent, forming sulphur dioxide gas. The molecules are held together by weak Van der waals’ forces of attraction that are easily broken hence its low melting point. (ii) Oxides of sulphur will not conduct electricity as there are no mobile electrons to share electrons in a molten or ionic aqueous solution. However, MgO is an ionic compound and will conduct electricity in a molten state as it will have mobile and free electrons available to conduct electricity. (i) This circuit is not suitable for this experiment since there is no container or vessel to put the test solution in with the electrodes and there is no indicator that will detect if the test solution will conduct electricity or not like a bulb or ammeter. (ii) 167 (iii) Conductors Aqueous lead II nitrate Aqueous ammonia 5. (a) (b) (c) 6. (a) Non-Conductors Ethanol (i) Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s) (ii) Zinc foil will react with copper sulphate because Zinc is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series. Therefore, zinc will react with copper sulphate by displacing the copper from the sulphate. The zinc will react with the sulphate to form zinc sulphate while the copper metal will be precipitated out of solution as copper metal and be deposited at the bottom of the beaker. As the copper is being deposited the blue colour of copper sulphate will fade. Silver foil will not displace copper from copper sulphate because it is lower than copper in the reactivity series and it is less reactive. Metals higher in the reactivity series will displace metals in solution lower in the reactivity series. (iii) Aluminium will displace copper from copper sulphate solution. Aluminium is higher than copper in the reactivity series and is more reactive than copper. (i) The conditions for iron to rust are moisture (H2O) and oxygen. (ii) Painting iron is important in preventing it from rusting as the paint coats the iron surface with an air and water repellent that forms a protective coating around the iron. Duralumin is an alloy of Aluminium. It is lighter and less dense than aluminium. This alloy is also more corrosion resistant than aluminium therefore it is preferred in the manufacture of aircraft. Suggestion: Two nutrients that can be added is nitrogen and magnesium. Reason: The lack of essential nutrients to plants can lower its resistance to disease. The curling of the tips of leaves is an indication of disease caused by mites. Both nitrogen and magnesium are essential to healthy growth of plants as it is involved in the production of chlorophyll and many enzymatic reactions in plants. Green healthy leaves in plants indicate a lot of chlorophyll being produced. (b) Advantage 1: Organic fertilizers contain a lot of microbes that is needed to break down organic matter into simple ions that the plants can absorb. These microbes such as bacteria and fungi are important in recycling of nutrients. 168 Advantage 2: Organic fertilizers also help maintain and build soil structure as it contains humus and micronutrients. Better soil structure with humus and organic matter retains moisture in the soil so that the plant does not wilt easily. Advantage 3: Organic fertilizers do not leach its nutrients easily. It slowly releases nutrients to the soil so that the plants can absorb it. No excessive nutrients are added to the environment that can cause eutrophication. (c) Disadvantage: The release of the nutrients is slow and as a result the plant growth can be slower than with commercial fertilizer. (d) Test for soil acidity: A small sample of the soil is obtained. This sample is taken about from about 6cm below the surface. The sample is shaken with water and allowed to settle. The settled solution is tested with universal indicator paper or solution to determine its actual pH. The use of red or blue litmus will determine its actual pH. Modern tests use a pH probe that is inserted into the moist soil and a digital indicator is read. (e) The chemical name for lime is calcium hydroxide and its chemical formula is Ca(OH)2. Lime should be used when the soil is too acidic. It decreases the acidity of the soil i.e. it makes the soil less acidic. Ca(OH)2(s) + 2H+(aq) Ca2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) (f) When lime is added to soil at the same time as ammonia fertilizers it reacts with each other to produce ammonia gas. This causes nitrogen to be lost from the soil and a nitrogen deficiency in plants could result. Ammonia gas can also be toxic to plants and microbes in the soil.

(a) (i) (ii) (b) They have weak intermolecular bonds holding the molecules together. Secondly, the electronegativity of these two atoms is greatly different therefore they will not really want to share an electron pair. Chlorine would rather accept an electron than share. (c) Both I and Cl can exist as isotopes. Isotopes are the same element but different forms have different mass number due to the different amount of neutrons. Therefore, isotopes have same atomic number but different mass number hence ICl sample can have different molar mass.

Polymer: This is insoluble in water and will settle to the bottom. Type of polymer formed: Proteins, Nylon Use: Muscles, rope (i) This is the passage of an electric current through an electrolyte resulting in a chemical change in the electrolyte. (ii) During the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride, sodium metal will be discharge and chlorine gas given off. 173 Reaction at the cathode: Na+(l) + e- Na(l) Reaction at the anode: 2Cl (l) Cl2(g) + 2eThe Na+ ion will accept electrons from the cathode i.e. the sodium undergo reduction. The Cl- ions give up their electrons to the anode i.e. Chlorine ions undergo oxidation. (b) During electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride the following ions are produced: Na+, H+, Cl-, OH-. At the anode OH- ions are preferentially discharged because they are in a dilute solution and they are lower in the electrochemical series than Cl- ions. At the cathode the H+ ions are preferentially discharged because they are in a dilute solution and they are lower in the electrochemical series than Na+. At the anode: 4OH-(aq) 2H2O(l) + O2(g) + 4eAt the cathode: 2H+(aq) + 2e- H2(g) (c) Anodising is a process where the thickness of this aluminium oxide layer is artificially increased. Firstly- the protective outer layer on a sheet of aluminium is removed by treating the aluminium with a sodium hydroxide solution. Secondlythe aluminium sheet is now placed in a dilute sulphuric acid solution as the anode in the electrolysis of sulphuric acid. The reaction at the anode: 4OH-(aq) 2H2O + O2(g) + 4e- . Thirdly, the oxygen formed reacts with the aluminium anode forming a thicker oxide layer. 4Al(s) + 3O2(g) 2Al2O3(s). 5. (a) (i) The acid anhydride is sulphur trioxide. Firstly sulphur burns to form sulphur dioxide. S(s) + O2(g) SO2(g). Secondly, when a mixture of sulphur dioxide and oxygen is passed over a catalyst of vanadium (v) oxide, at a temperature of about 500oC and atmospheric pressure, sulphur trioxide is produced. Increased pressure increases yield. 2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g). The sulphur trioxide formed is dissolved in concentrated sulphuric acid to form oleum. 174 (b) 6. (a) (b) (ii) Anhydride. SO3(g) + H2SO4(l) H2S2O7(l). The sulphur trioxide is dissolved in sulphuric acid to form oleum or pyrosulphuric acid. The required concentration of sulphuric acid is obtained by diluting the oleum. H2S2O7(l) + H2O(l) 2H2SO4(l). (iii) Sulphur trioxide is not dissolved in water because sulphur trioxide reacts with water vapour to form a mist a mist of acid. (i) The alloy stainless steel is preferred to pure iron in making cooking utensils because it does not corrode or break down and it does not rust like iron. Stainless steel also does not react with food while it is being cook. Stainless steel is inert to corrosion and unreactive to food. (ii) The lack of iron in the human diet could result in anemia. This is caused by a shortage of iron in your blood. It can result in the low production of red blood cells. Therefore, the blood doesn’t carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body, resulting in weariness, tiredness and weakness. (i) Phosphorus – a deficiency causes intense green colouration or reddening in leaves due to lack of chlorophyll. Nitrogen- yellow leaf, slow growth, chlorosis Potassium – wilting, brown spotting, higher chance of damage from heat and frost. (ii) This experiment can be used to test for all nutrient deficiency. Example, for nitrogen: i. Take 4 identical seedlings, plant each one in a pot of identical size and soil structure. 4 is used in case one dies. ii. 2 seedlings will have all nutrients in the recommended dosage while 2 other seedlings will have a very low quantity of nitrogen. iii. All seedlings will be given the same amount of water and exposure to light each day. iv. The four seedlings will be placed in a green house in order to reduce attack by pests. v. Monitor and observe plant growth for the next month. vi. Make deductions based on observations.

(ii) OH-(aq) + H+(aq) H2O(l) + Ca(OH)2(s) + 2H (aq) Ca2+(aq) + 2H2O(l) 175 (iii) (c) When calcium hydroxide is used to neutralize acidic soil, ammonium fertilizers cannot be used at the same time. Calcium hydroxide being a base, reacts with the ammonium ions to produce ammonia gas. This causes nitrogen to be lost from the soil and a nitrogen deficiency in plants could result. 2OH-(aq) + NH4+(aq) NH3(g) + H2O(l). From lime from fertilizer Disadvantages- Expensive to set up and retain, nutrient solutions must be closely monitored, workers need more technical knowledge. To address these disadvantages: 1- Loan or government subsidy programme to start up. 2- Use test kits daily to monitor nutrients 3- Educate and read on hydroponic systems, go to courses that teach it. 176 1.

(a) (i) Solid, liquid, gas (ii) The particles in a solid are very closely packed with very strong intermolecular forces of attraction. These strong bonds hold the particles together while in liquids, the force of attraction between particles are weaker than a solid but stronger than a gas. In gas the force of attraction is weak Van der Waals forces that are easily broken which causes the particles to be scattered. (iii) Iodine changes to a gas from a solid. This process is called sublimation. (iv) As iodine molecules sublimes it absorbs heat energy which excite the molecules which then vibrates and break loose of the bonding in its solid state and goes directly to a gas. (b) Sodium chloride (c) 3. (a) (b) Diamond Two tests for ionic solids are: 1- dissolve compound in water and it will conduct an electric. Ionic solids are soluble in water and are good conductors of electricity while molecular solids are not. 2- heat test – molecular solids have low melting and boiling points while ionic has much higher. Apply heat to the molecular solid and it will melt or vaporize easily while ionic solids need much more heat to melt.

(i) Calcium carbonate can be prepared by reacting 50mL of aqueous solution of calcium chloride with 50mL of aqueous sodium carbonate. CaCl2(aq) + (Na)2CO3(aq) CaCO3(s) + 2NaCl(aq) Put on safety goggles then proceed. Weigh 2g of calcium chloride and 1g of sodium carbonate. Place this into separate beakers and add 50mL of water and dissolve. Pour the calcium chloride solution into the beaker with sodium carbonate and stir. Allow the mixture to react and settle. 5 minutes after filter the mixture. The solid calcium carbonate in the filter paper can be gently heated in an oven to obtain a dry sample. 180 (b) 5. (a) (ii) A fertilizer for plants as it contains essential elements for healthy plant growth or soothe aches, remove odors, soften rough skin with a foot soak, reduces swelling. (iii) Epsom salts (MgSO4) can be dissolved in water molecules because it is an ionic compound that is very soluble in water or polar solvents. Its anhydrous form is very hydroscopic which means it has the ability to attract and hold water molecules. Permanent hardness in water is hardness due to the presence of the chlorides, nitrates and sulphates of calcium and magnesium. This cannot be removed by boiling. The lime scale can build up on the inside of the pipe restricting the flow of water or causing a blockage. Hard water is formed when water percolates through deposits of limestone and chalk which are largely made up of calcium and magnesium carbonates. These ions are dissolved in the rain water and are carried away to streams and lakes where water is extracted and purified for domestic and industrial use. Sodium carbonate can be used to remove permanent and temporary hardness in water. Na2CO3(aq) + Mg2+(aq) MgCO3(s) + 2Na+(aq). On reaction with the sodium carbonate, dissolved magnesium or calcium ions are precipitated as the insoluble carbonate. (i) Process P: Clarification – the juice is neutralized by the addition of calcium hydroxide and heat. This causes insoluble salts to be formed by the reaction between the calcium hydroxide and sediment impurities. Process Q: Precipitation/crystallization. (b) (ii) A mixture of crystals and molasses forms massecuite. The centrifugation process separates the molasses from the sugar crystals. (iii) Molasses (iv) Bagasse in the factory is used in the boiler room as a fuel to heat water, to make steam to generate electricity for the factory or it can be used as a fuel to heat up and evaporate the water from the cane juice.

The wine turned acidic hence the sour taste. The magnesium oxide is a base which will neutralize the acid. The ethanol is oxidized by oxygen in the air to form ethanoic acid. 2CH3COOH(aq) Ethanoic acid 6. (a) (i) + MgO(s) (CH3COO)2Mg(aq) + H2O(l) magnesium oxide magnesium ethanoate The soap may be producing more scum at Ann’s house because the water is hard. The side of the island Ann lives contains a lot of limestone. The carbon dioxide dissolved in rain water makes it slightly acidic. This dissolves calcium and magnesium ions present in the limestone. Calcium and magnesium ions give rise to hardness in water and take a longer time to lather. CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + Limestone (ii) rain CO2(g) Ca(HCO3)2(aq) carbon dioxide hard water No- soapless detergents are not affected by the presence of calcium ions in hard water. 182 Note: Hard water does not lather easily with soap (lather is a frothy white mass of bubbles). Soap can be represented as NaS+ Sodium stearate when the water is hard i.e. contains Ca2+ from limestone. 2NaS+(aq) + Ca2+(aq) CaS2+(s) + 2Na+(aq) When all the Ca2+ is removed by the soap then the excess can lather. (b) These second generation detergents have a high level of phosphates, which is a nutrient which cause rapid growth of algae. Encatchment areas such as ponds and lakes are quickly covered with these fast growing algae. This process is known as eutrophication. Phosphates also reduce the quality of water for drinking purposes. Detergents also contain additives such as perborates and enzymes that cause anxiety. (c) (i) Green chemistry is an area of chemistry that focuses on the designing of products and processes that minimize the use of hazardous substances. It maximizes the use of recycling, reducing and reusing in order to prevent harm to our natural environment. (ii) Some of the benefits involved in utilizing the principles involved in green chemistry are: 1- It help produces less waste in processes therefore there is less to clean up or treat or neutralized before releasing into the environment. 2- Chemical processes are designed to minimize the production of toxic substances that are harmful to the environment. 3- The designing of safer chemicals that are target oriented and not broad spectrum. It is designed to affect their desired function while minimizing their toxicity. 4- Safer solvent auxilliaries are manufactured and used only when necessary therefore, less harm to the environment when seldom used. 5- Energy efficiency design maximizes the use of energy produced and minimizes waste and economic impacts. 6- The use of renewable material reduces the strain and enhances sustainability of natural resources by reducing its demand. Hence, less natural resources have to be harvested or removed for manufacturing. 7- The use of catalysis saves time, speeds up reaction and reduces the need for natural resources. Therefore it minimizes the need for natural resources. Therefore, it minimizes the need for energy in the reaction processes, less energy reduces the need for extra fossil fuel. 183 1.

(a) This process is called electro-refining of nickel. The electrode must be an active electrode i.e. it must take part in the reaction. Impure nickel is made the anode and a strip of pure nickel is made the cathode. The electrolyte is a mixture of nickel sulphite or chloride and sulphuric acid. A large current is used during the electrolysis. During the reaction the anode will get thinner and the cathode will get thicker. This occurs because during electrolysis the nickel atoms will leave the anode and enter the solution as nickel ions while nickel ions are discharged at and deposited on the cathode.

Downward delivery is not suited as ammonia is less dense than air and it will rise to the top and escape into the atmosphere. Displacement of water is not suited because ammonia gas is very soluble in water and will dissolve in it causing the pH to increase.

Diamond (b) Graphite (i) Atoms in metals are tightly packed together and as a result the valence electrons become delocalized and cations are formed. This sea of cations and electrons are held together by strong forces of electrons. (ii) In graphite the 4th electron of carbon atom becomes delocalized allowing electricity to move through it. (c) Bonds in Ca2+ is stronger therefore it requires more energy to breakdown than Na+ which only has one bond which requires less energy to breakdown. Since Ca2+ and O2- have relatively higher charges than Na+ and Cl-, there is a stronger force of attraction. 5.

(a) (b) (ii) Carboxylic acids react with alcohols to produce esters in a process called esterification whereas alkanes do not. (i) Extraction of the mined bauxite ore in Jamaica occurs through the Bayer process which involves treating the crushed bauxite with moderately concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. This results in a white product called alumina or aluminium oxide. This is then taken to another processing plant to be converted into aluminium via electrolysis, which is conducted in a large tank lined with carbon which acts as the negative electrode. Huge blocks of carbon are hung above the middle of the tank acting as the positive electrode. In order to reduce the melting point of the pure alumina it is dissolved in molten cryolite (Na3AlF6) which has a much lower melting point. Once dissolved, its ions are free to move. At the cathode Al3+ ions undergo reduction and gain electrons. Al(l) Al3+(l) + 3e- (ii) Since the majority of the Caribbean islands are relatively small, it is difficult to extract aluminium mainly because there is not enough space on the island. The waste size of aluminium is large and its extraction must take place somewhere where it is able to be absorbed like forests with a lot of trees. Duralumin is better to use because it is strong, lightweight and able to withstand greater stress than pure aluminium. Magnalium is better because it is stronger, harder and more corrosion resistant than pure aluminium. It has a lower density thus it is also lighter than aluminium. 195 (c) Though metals such as mercury are useful in the manufacturing of many products (thermometers, car batteries etc.) it poses a threat to the environment.

(i) (ii) As the water drops from the top of a waterfall, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. This energy is transferred to the rotating blades of the turbine which is converted to electrical energy by the generator. The presence of waterfall in Dominica ensures a renewable source of energy. Hydroelectricity produces no waste or greenhouse gases and therefore does not affect global warming. The long term cost of hydroelectricity production is cheaper than energy from fossil fuel which makes it a viable alternative. 301 1.

(i) Magnetic field due to a current carrying conductor 319 (b) (ii) Resulting magnetic field when a current carrying conductor is placed between the poles of the magnet. (i) The part labeled X is the split ring or commutator. (ii) When the switch is closed the current flows through the carbon brushes and commutator into the coil. The current flows from D to C and B to A. From Fleming’s Left Hand Rule, a downward force is exerted on DC while an upward force is exerted on AB. This is due to the magnetic fields produced by the coil and the magnet. The momentum of the coil allows it to cross the vertical position. The commutator reverses the direction of the current in the loop as the contact changes from one brush to the other. At this point AB then moves down while DC moves up resulting in continuous rotation in one direction. 320
