ii. 1.

Joints (articulating bones) are enclosed within a

fibrous capsule.
2. The synovial fluid separates articulating bones
(b) Vertebrae are linked togetherby ligaments to form
an upright column and they allow the attachment of
muscles
(c) i. 81
ii. The femur has to bear all the weight of the upper
body.
iii. Sunlight
2 (a) i. P: Biceps
Q: Triceps
ii. P: Flexor
Q: Extensor
(b) A muscle can only pull and cannot push. Therefore, the
coordinated contraction and relaxation of antagonistic
muscles can pull a bone in opposite directions and
make movement possible.
(c) i. R: Tendon
S: Ligament
ii. R: Attaches a muscle to a bone
S: Binds two bones together
iii. R needs to pull bones so it should not be stretchable.
S is flexible to enable bones to move at the joint.
3 (a) R: Parenchyma
S: Xylem
(b) X: Terrestrial
Y Aquatic
(c) X: Has more xylem tissue to provide support against
bending stress produced by wind.
Y Has large and numerous intercellular space to
provide water buoyancy.
(d) R: The water content of the thin-walled parenchyma
cells provide turgid support.
S: The rigidity of the thickened cell wall/rylem provides
mechanical support.
