PREGUNTAS Y RESPUESTAS TÍPICAS DEL TEMA TRES PROPIEDADES DEL AGUA COMO REFRIGERANTE, TRANSPORTE Y HABITAT. Responses must include reference to coolant, transport and habitat to receive full marks. coolant: lots of energy required to heat water / water has a high specific heat capacity / hydrogen bonding of water molecules; when water evaporates energy is used; cools organism; eg sweating / panting / transpiration; transport: water is polar / universal solvent; dissolves many organic / inorganic substances; movement of water carries substances around organism; eg blood / phloem / xylem / adhesion / cohesion; medium for external transport (eg gametes); habitat: water is transparent; allows light through for photosynthetic organisms; organisms live in / on water / surface tension for surface creatures / buoyancy; contains dissolved gases; fish / aquatic organisms survive under ice at surface; (Plus up to [2] for quality) 8 max [8] SIGNIFICADO DEL AGUA PARA LOS ORGANISMOS VIVOS (Total 6 marks) Features and their significance may include: surface tension – allows some organisms (eg insects) to move on water’s surface; polarity / capillarity / adhesion – helps plants transport water; transparency – allows plants to photosynthesise in water / allows animals to see; (excellent) solvent – capable of dissolving substances for transport in organisms; (excellent) thermal properties (high heat of vaporization) – excellent coolant; ice floats – lakes / oceans do not freeze, allowing life under the ice; buoyancy – supports organisms; structure – turgor in plant cells / hydrostatic skeleton; habitat – place for aquatic organisms to live; involved in chemical reactions in organisms; 6 max Each feature or property must be related to living organisms in order to receive a mark. [6] FUNCIÓN DE ELEMENTOS EN EL ORGANISMO. Award [1] for each element and its role. eg C / carbon in forming organic molecules / carbohydrates / fats / proteins / nucleic acids; eg H / hydrogen in forming organic molecules / carbohydrates / fats / proteins / nucleic acids / reducing / fixing CO2 in photosynthesis; eg O / oxygen in aerobic respiration; eg N / nitrogen in formation of amino acids / proteins / nucleotides / ATP / nucleic acids / DNA / RNA; eg P / phosphorus in formation of nucleotides / ATP / nucleic acids / DNA / RNA; eg Ca / Ca2+ / calcium in muscle contraction / nerve transmission / formation of bones / teeth; eg. Fe / Fe2+ / iron in formation of hemoglobin / catalase; eg Na / Na+ / sodium in nerve transmission / osmoregulation; eg K / K+ / potassium in stomatal opening etc; [4] TRANSPORTE PASIVO A TRAVÉS DE LAS MEMBRANAS passive transport requires no energy; molecules move down a concentration gradient; water moves by osmosis; from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration / high water concentration to low water; small uncharged molecules move by diffusion; between phospholipid molecules; charged molecules move by facilitated diffusion; requires a protein channel; Transporte activo a través de las membranas goes against concentration gradient / from low concentration to high concentration; requires hydrolysis of ATP / requires energy from ATP; proteins in membrane utilized; specificity of carriers; eg Na+-K+ pump / other suitable examples; may involve conformational change in carrier protein; moves ions / solutes; maintains chemical / electrical gradient; Explain the various methods cells use to transport materials across membranes. through endocytosis large particles are brought into cells across membranes; through exocytosis large particles are removed from cells; by the formation of vesicles; active transport requiring ATP; uses protein pumps; to move materials against concentration gradients; protein channels enable facilitated diffusion of molecules down concentration gradient; the molecules are too large or too charged to diffuse directly through the membrane; small polar and non-polar molecules / gases; can diffuse directly through the membrane; from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration / down the concentration gradient (until equilibrium is reached); osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules; across a partially / selectively permeable membrane; from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration; RECONOCIMEINTO DE DIFERENTES BIOMOLÉCULAS EN UN DIAGRAMA, RESPONDE SIN MIRAR LAS RESPUESTAS!!

Include the structure of a generalized dipeptide in your answer. (Total 5 marks) ATENCIÓN: SÓLO AGREGO LA RESPUESTA DEL DIPÉTIDO (ESTA ES UNA PREGUNTA MODELO TÍPICA, UTILIZÁ LA FORMA DE LA RESPUESTA PARA RESPONDER: A.DESCRIBA LA FORMACIÓN DE UN TRIGLICÉRIDO POR CONDENSACIÓN INCLUYENDO LA ESTRUCTURA GENERALIZADA DE UN TRIGLICÉRIDO EN SU RESPUESTA. b. TODO EL RESTO DE POSIBILIDADES X EJ: LA HIDRÓLISIS DE UN DISACÁRIDO PARA OBTENER UN MONOSACÁRIDO, LA HIDRÓLISIS DE UN TRIGLICÉRIDO.. ETC) carboxyl / COOH group of one amino acid reacts with amine / NH2 group of another; water / H2O is eliminated; These steps can be shown diagrammatically, eg R R O H N C O H C N H C C H OH OH H H condensation H2 O peptide / covalent bond is produced; diagram of dipeptide, with peptide bond shown [2 max]; eg R O R O H N C C N C H OH H { H H peptide bond Award [1] if the two amino acids forming the dipeptide are shown correctly. The radicals can be shown as R or H. Award the second mark if the C-N bond is labelled as peptide bond or dipeptide bond. The label can include the H bonded to the N and the O double bonded to the C.
