SHORT ANSWERS.

Question 1.
(a) Reason: the absence of a cell wall, or no cell wall, or no large vacuole or
rounded cell shape lack of chloroplasts

(b) Stomach wall, or pancreas - Cell producing enzymes for digestion


. There are a number of ribosomes shown which would be the site of protein
(enzyme) synthesis

This process requires a lot of energy which would be provided by the large
number of mitochondria present

OR human muscle tissue (1) requiring energy for movement (or ‘exercise’,
‘contraction’,‘work’), (1) cell has high number of mitochondria to provide this
energy (1)
OR kidney tissue (1) since cell has large number of mitochondria to provide
energy (1)
supporting active reabsorption of molecules from filtrate (1).
OR any other reasonable suggestion that fits the cell illustrated, provided
structure is clearly related to function.

(c) Ribosomes are shown ; light microscopes do not have the resolving power
to show ribosomes. Also acceptable: ER or details of mitochondria (cristae,
internal membranes) or of nuclear membrane (pores).

Question 2
(a) I shows xylem cells and II shows phloem cells .

b) Xylem carries water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. (
It contains no cytoplasm andconsists of tubes of dead cells when mature, and
the process is a passive one .

Phloem, by contrast carries nutrients (mainly sugars) from the leaves to the rest
of the plant,( .) is living and contains cytoplasm, uses active transport.( . It
consists of sieve tubes, with a little cytoplasm and perforated end plates joining
adjacent cells, as well as companion cells . These have a nucleus and control the
cytoplasm in the sieve tube

Question 3
a) autumn is the season when meiosis occurred.

b) Fertilised eggs produced in autumn were the result of sexual reproduction


and hence showed variation , hence offspring produced asexually from
different eggs would show genetic variation.

Question 4

area A:
name:
• duodenum
• small intestine either one for 1 mark

explanation:
• basic conditions optimum for enzymes to function ( mark)

area B:
name:
• stomach ( mark)
explanation:
• acidic conditions needed for enzyme function ( mark)

Question 5
(a) Net gain of energy occurs between 7.5 – 24oC +/- 0.5 o C, (this is where the
rate of photosynthesis exceeds the rate of respiration),

(b) At 24 C the rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate of respiration ( mark)


o

so there is no net production/growth to allow the plant to produce tubers


( mark). Some credit given for connecting the rate of photosynthesis to storage
in tubers.

Question 6
( a ) The bionomial name for organism A is Hexaminius popeiana. ( mark)

(b) Organism E is most closely related (as it belongs to the same genus
(Hexaminius) ( mark), mark for saying that C belongs to a different genus or
relating closeness of relationship to classification grouping.

Question 7
(i) The advantage of the stoma being located on the upper surface is that it
allows gas exchange to take place with the air, which has much higher
concentrations of gases such as CO2 than the water that contacts the lower
surface ( mark). ( any secondary reasons such as the leaf would be more likely
to sink etc). Also greater transpiration rate to draw more minerals into the plant,
as loss of water is not an issue.

(ii) Any suitable suggestion ( mark) such as


• Increased air circulation within the leaf that enhances the exchange of gases
• Provides floatation/buoyancy for the leaf

(iii) Any suitable suggestion ( mark) such as


• Minimises water loss through the epidermis or any variation on this idea

iv) marks for any 3 of 4 below:


• There are many alveoli to increase surface area.
• Lipoproteins prevent the alveoli from collapsing.
• Alveoli are one cell layer thick to increase the rate of diffusion.
• Alveoli are highly vascularized to facilitate external respiration.

Question 8
a) W: afferent renal arteriole
X: efferent renal arteriole
Y: collecting duct
Z: Loop of Henle

b)
• The renal medulla contains a high concentration of Na+, Cl– and urea
making it hypertonic to the filtrate.
• When the filtrate passes through the renal medulla, water moves from
the filtrate into the renal medulla where the peritubular network
absorbs it.
• The filtrate, having lost water, is now hypertonic to body fluids.
• ADH causes water reabsorption from the collecting duct making urine
more hypertonic.

• shaped so specific molecules bind to it
• allows a specific ion or substance to enter or exit the cell
• carries material across the cell membrane during active transport
/ facilitated transport

c) • All of the active sites were occupied. ( mark)


d)
• line A ( mark)
• More active sites are available to bind with substrates. (1 mark)
