4. A land based well watered plant has a transpiration rate measured at 34mm 3 H2O h-1 at 10am in the
morning. The transpiration rate was found to increase significantly later in the afternoon. What could
explain this change?

wind.
5. In the picture to the right, Figure 3 shows an arteriole (small artery) (1) connected to a venule
(small vein) (4) by two capillaries. The two small squares underneath represent cells in the surrounding
tissue.

12. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of death in developed
countries. Smoking is a major risk factor for death due to CHD, and the
trend in Europe is for fewer people to die as fewer people are smoking.
Unfortunately, even people who do not smoke, but who are regularly
exposed to the smoke of others can suffer from CHD because of PASSIVE
SMOKING (inhaling other peoples smoke.)
(a)

The graph shows deaths from coronary heart disease caused by

passive smoking in Germany in 1983.

13. An experiment to measure water loss by part of a plant was set up as shown
below. The water loss was measured using a photometer, which measures the
volume of water loss. and is shown in the table. The scale on the potometer
was accurate to the nearest 0.1ml.

Treatment
A. Normal
B. Bright light
C. Moving air
D. High humidity

Cumulative water
loss (mL/m2) for 30
minutes
125.46
310.81
298.12
61.77

mL/m2/min
4.18
10.36
9.93
2.06

(a) Sugg

why
there

was a water filled tank between the bright light and the plant.

(b) Identify a problem between the accuracy of the potometer scale and the data
in the table.

[1U]
(c) The average water loss for the high humidity was less than for all the other
readings. Explain this.

..[2K]

(d) Another potted plant of the same type was set up in the same location.
However, this plant had less leaves. Suggest with a reason how the results
for the less leafy plant may differ from the ones recorded in the table.
