Some students investigated the effect of temperature on the rate of
photosynthesis in
pond weed. They set up the apparatus and altered the temperature using ice
and hot
water. They counted the number of bubbles given off in a minute at different
temperatures.

1 (b) Why did the students use a water bath?

(1 mark)
The graph shows the students results.

1 (c) Explain the shape of the graph between 22 C and 27 C.

Jenny carried out an investigation to show the rate of photosynthesis in two

species of plant at different light intensities.

(1) Describe the pattern shown by species B

(2 marks)

(2) The results for species B were as follows:

Light intensity (kilolux)
5
10
20
30
40
50

CO2 uptake (cm3/m2)

0.04
0.12
0.15
0.125
0.09
0.04

(d) Jenny was not sure where the peak of the graph should be drawn. Which extra
measurements should she take to be sure of this? (1 mark)
(e) At what light intensity do both species photosynthesise at the same rate? (1 mark)
(f) If species A has a total leaf area of 100 m2, how many cm3 of carbon dioxide will
it take up at a light intensity of 10 kilolux? Show your working. (2 marks)
(g) Which species shows the best adaptation to shade conditions? Using the
information in the graph give reasons for your answer. (2 marks)
(h) What is the name of the sugar produced during photosynthesis? (1 mark)
(i) What is the name of the process by which this sugar is broken down to provide
energy for the plant? (1 mark)

1) What is osmosis the movement of?

2) Name two things that are required for osmosis to happen.
3) Complete the following sentence which describes osmosis.
Osmosis is the movement of ___________ from a ___________ solution to a
___________solution through a ___________ permeable membrane.
4) Explain the experiment below in terms of osmosis.

Tube A contains sugar solution

Tube B contains water,

If a chip is placed in it the chip

if a chip is placed in it the

shrivels because

chip swells because

5) Diffusion can also be a way of moving substances in an out of cells. Explain the
similarities and differences between osmosis and diffusion. In your answer include
examples of both types of transport. (6 marks)
