'
3. According'to'figure'1,'as'the'average'discharge'increases,'total'annual'precipitation'also'
increases.'Therefore,'for'300'cm'of'annual'precipitation,'the'value'of'average'discharge'
would'be'over'12'm3/sec.'Answer$D'
'
4. From'the'2nd'and'3rd'columns'of'table'2,'we'can'conclude'that'there'is'no'clear'relationship'
between'average'annual'air'temperature'and'total'annual'precipitation.'Answer$J'
'
5. According'to'table'1,'dissolved'load'in'limestone'catchment'is'more'than'solid'load,'which'
means'that'limestone'is'more'susceptible'to'chemical'weathering'than'mechanical'
weathering.'Answer$B'
'
6. According'to'table'2,'for'F'catchment,'total'annual'precipitation'is'less'than'25cm'(22.5cm),'
and'therefore'according'to'table'1,'the'catchments'fulfilling'this'criterion'will'have'erosion'
rate'less'than'1cm/1000'yr.'Answer$F'
'
'
7. According'to'the'hydrothermal'vent'hypothesis,'temperatures'between'10'degree'Celsius'
and'700'degree'Celsius'promote'the'chemical'reactions.'Answer$B'
'
8. 'The'organic'molecules'combined'to'first'form'polymers'and,'later,'living,'self'replicating'
cells.'Their'first'characteristic'was'the'ability'to'replicate.'Answer$G'
'
9. According'to'both'the'hypotheses,'conditions'in'the'ocean'were'right'for'the'organic'
molecules'to'combine'and'replicate.'Answer$B'
10. The'outer'space'hypothesis'makes'the'assumption'that,'billions'of'years'ago,'earth'was'
bombarded'by'bodies'from'outer'space'which'eventually'brought'organic'molecules'to'
earth.'Answer$H'
'
11. According'to'the'outer'space'hypothesis,'organic'molecules'were'brought'to'earth'by'bodies'
from'space'while'the'hydrothermal'vent'hypothesis'claims'that'these'organic'molecules'
were'first'discovered'in'the'ocean.'Therefore,'the'statement'made'in'the'question'is'
consistent'with'the'outer'space'hypothesis'only.'Answer$A'
'
12. According'to'both'hypotheses,'in'order'to'replicate,'these'organic'molecules'first'had'to'
form'polymers.'Answer$H'
'
13. According'to'outer'space'hypothesis,'microscopic'interplanetary'dust'particles'contain'up'to'
10%'organic'material'while'meteorites'contain'up'to'5%'organic'material.'This'indicates'that'
most'of'the'organic'molecules'were'brought'to'earth'by'interplanetary'dust'particles.$
Answer$C'
'
14. According'to'the'graph'of'distance'versus'time'for'the'3rd'motorbike,'at't=0,'the'bike'has'
already'covered'some'distance'and'it'is'not'on'the'starting'line.'Answer$G'
'
15. According'to'the'graph'of'velocity'versus'time'for'the'2nd'motorbike,'the'velocity'of'the'
motorbike'increases'until'it'reaches'certain'point'and'then'it'immediately'starts'to'decrease.'
The'description'made'in'option'D'about'the'velocity'of'a'car'is'identical'to'this'behaviour.'
Answer$D'
'
'
16. Acceleration'of'a'motorbike'is'the'rate'of'change'of'velocity'with'time.'Therefore,'if'the'
acceleration'of'a'vehicle'is'negative,'we'can'conclude'that'its'velocity'is'decreasing.'Answer$
H'
'
17. If'a'baseball'is'tossed'back'and'forth'between'two'people,'it'would'have'positive'velocity'
while'travelling'forward'and'negative'velocity'while'travelling'backwards.'These'two'
motions'will'have'both'positive'and'negative'values'of'velocity'on'a'velocity'versus'time'
curve.'Answer$A'
'
18. According'to'the'acceleration'versus'time'graph'in'set'3,'the'motorbike’s'acceleration'is'zero'
between'points'C'and'D'but'the'velocity'of'motorbike'is'not'zero'between'these'2'points.'
Answer$J'

19. According'to'table'1,'the'melting'point'of'iron'is'1535'degrees'Celsius.'Therefore'at'
temperatures'above'1535'degree'Celsius,'iron'will'be'in'its'molten'state'and'it'can'be'
drained'or'poured'out'of'the'reactor.'Answer$D''
'
'
20. According'to'2nd'and'3rd'columns'of'table'1,'there'is'no'clear'relationship'between'atomic'
number'and'melting'point'of'the'metals.'Answer$J'
'
21. The'energy'required'to'form'a'+1'ion'is'the'first'ionization'energy'of'the'metal,'and'
according'to'table'1,'for'‘Sc’'metal,'this'first'ionization'energy'is'minimum.'Answer$A'
'
'
22. According'to'the'last'2'columns'of'table'1,'we'can'conclude'that'atomic'radius'of'all'metals'
is'greater'than'their'ionic'radius'which'means'that'an'atom'is'larger'than'its'positive'ion.'
Answer$F'
'
23. To'change'a'neutral'metal'atom'into'its'+2'ion'form,'first'one'electron'must'be'removed'
from'the'neutral'atom'to'form'+1'ion'at'the'expenditure'of'first'ionization'energy,'and'
subsequently'one'more'electron'must'be'removed'from'+1'ion'at'the'expenditure'of'second'
ionization'energy'to'form'+2'ion.'Zinc'metal'has'first'ionization'energy'equal'to'906'KJ/mole'
and'second'ionization'energy'equal'to'1733'kJ/mole.'Answer$D'
'
24. According'to'figure'1,'the'largest'percentage'of'seeds'collected'had'masses'between'0.6mg'
and'1mg.'Answer$G'
'
25. According'to'figure'2,'seeds'under'0.5mg'produced'plants'with'considerable'masses.'The'
greenhouse'pots'and'the'cleared'meadow'sites'showed'growth'of'plants'from'seeds'that'
weighed'under'0.5'mg.'Answer$C'
'
26. According'to'figure'3,$the'average'mass'of'the'seeds'produced'by'plants'grown'in'the'
greenhouse'from'2'mg'parent'seeds'was'approximately'2.5mg.'Answer$H'
'
'
27. According'to'the'3'curves'shown'in'figure'2,'we'can'conclude'that'the'mass'of'the'plants'was'
greatest'for'plants'grown'in'greenhouse'pots'and'smallest'for'the'plants'grown'in'the'
unclear'meadow'sites.'Answer$C'''
'
28. According'to'figure'2,'if'a'0.9'mg'seed'of'wildflower'species'was'planted'in'an'unclear'site,'
plant'growth'would'have'taken'place,'but'in'figure'3'we'can'see'that'these'produced'plants'
would'not'be'able'to'produce'any'seeds'when'planted'in'an'unclear'site.'Answer$F'

29. 'According'to'figure'1,'the'rate'of'photosynthesis'is'almost'above'100%'for'the'plants'
exposed'to'a'wavelength'of'440Z460nm.'Answer$A'
'
30. As'bacteria'require'oxygen'for'survival,'most'of'the'bacteria'were'clustered'around'the'
region'of'algae'where'it'was'releasing'more'oxygen.'Answer$F'
'
31. Photosynthetic'activity'depends'on'the'wavelength'of'light'and'not'on'the'intensity'of'light.'
Answer$D'
'
32. According'to'figure'2,'carotenoids'absorb'light'from'the'range'400'to'550'nm'and'it'absorbs'
very'little'light'between'the'wavelengths'550'and'575'nm.'Carotenoids'do'not'absorb'
wavelengths'greater'than'575nm.'Therefore,'according'to'the'statement'made'in'the'
question,'the'colour'of'carotenoids'would'most'probably'be'yellow'and'orange.'Answer$G'
'
33. 'In'study'1,'it'is'mentioned'that'bacteria'are'found'in'red'and'orange'region'rather'than'blue'
region'as'they'take'oxygen'from'these'regions'of'algae'for'living.'Therefore,'blue'or'blue'
purple'grow'light'will'not'add'any'advantage'in'the'process'of'photosynthesis.'Answer$D'
'
34. In'study'1'and'2,'living'algae'and'bean'plants'were'exposed'to'sunlight'to'examine'the'role'
of'light’s'wavelength'and'plant'pigments'on'photosynthesis.'For'this'to'happen,'it'was'
mandatory'for'both'the'studies'to'expose'them'regularly'to'the'same'temperatures.''
Answer$J'
'
35. To'produce'the'test'solutions'for'experiment'2,'steel'pipe'samples'were'taken'and'they'
were'dissolved'in'acid'followed'by'addition'of'an'oxidant.'After'this,'the'solutions'were'
diluted'with'water.'Answer$D'
'
36. The'Mn'in'the'test'solutions'could'not'be'compared'with'the'standard'solutions'unless'it'
was'converted'to'MnO4Z.'For'this'reason,'an'oxidant'was'added'to'chemically'react'with'the'
Mn+2'and'convert'it'to'MnO4Z.'Answer$G'
'
37. As'there'will'be'less'concentration'of'MnO4Z'in'the'solution,'the'value'of'absorbance'would'
be'less.'Answer$C'
'
38. According'to'figure'1,'we'can'conclude'that'as'the'Mn'content'increases,'absorbance'also'
increases.'From'table'1,'it’s'clear'that'the'solution'of'pipe'A'has'the'highest'absorbance;'
therefore,'it'must'be'having'the'highest'content'of'Mn.'Answer$F'
'
'
'
39. According'to'table'1,'absorbance'of'sample'D'is'0.500.'If'we'plot'this'value'of'absorbance'in'
figure'1,'we'will'get'the'corresponding'value'of'concentration'of'Mn'in'between'1.0'and'
1.5mg/L.'Answer$C'
'
'
'
40. As'the'solution'of'copper'ions'absorb'light'at'675'nm,'the'spectrometer'must'be'set'at'675'
nm'for'the'standard'solutions'containing'copper'ions'as'well'as'for'the'metal'pipe'test'
solution.'Answer$J''
