BIOLOGY Assignment -
Section A - Answer all questions in this section.
Q1. The diagram shows the parts of a plant growing above ground.
(a) (i) State the type of reproduction that takes place using the flower shown in the diagram.
(ii) Describe the events that must take place for the flower to develop into a fruit.
(b) The plant may also reproduce without using a flower, to produce new plants from plantlets.
State the type of reproduction that produces the plantlets.
(c) Suggest the advantages to the plant of reproducing by each of the following methods: using flowers, using plantlets.
Q2. The diagram shows a seed (Fig. 1) and a plant developing from this seed (Fig. 2)
(a) (i) Name two structures visible in Fig. 2 that are not visible in Fig. 1.
(ii) Name the process represented by the arrow drawn between Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Describe the use of enzymes in this process.
(b) In an experiment, the growth of a plant from a seed is found to be faster as temperatures increase up to 35oC.
Explain how the development of a plant from a seed would be affected by a temperature much higher than 35oC.
Q3. The diagram shows the arrangement of bones and muscles in the arm.
(a) (i) Name each of the following: A, B, C.
(ii) Identify the hinge joint on the diagram, by using a label line and the letter H.
(iii) Describe how the type of movement of a ball and socket joint differs from that of a hinge joint.
(b) The contraction of muscle A to raise the lower part of the arm requires energy. This energy may be provided by aerobic respiration.
(i) State the equation, in words or symbols, for aerobic respiration.
(ii) Explain why a person may feel pain in muscle A if the arm is raised and lowered a number of times quickly.
(iii) Suggest and explain what would happen to the time taken for the person to feel pain in muscle A if the arm was raised and lowered while holding a heavy object in the hand.
Q4. The diagram shows the human thorax.
(a) (i) Describe how each of the structures named in the diagram is involved when a person takes a single breath in.
(ii) The diagrams below show two magnified structures, D and E, from the thorax.
Draw lines labelled D and E on the diagram of the thorax on page 8 to indicate the positions of structure D and structure E.
(b) Describe how structure is related to function for each of the following: a capillary, and a red blood cell.
Q5. Fig. 1 shows cells from a plant tissue which have been mounted on a slide with distilled water and viewed using a microscope.
Fig. 2 shows cells taken from the same plant tissue when mounted on a slide with concentrated salt solution.
(a) Explain the appearance of the cells in Fig. 2.
(b) (i) Identify structures P and Q in Fig. 2.
(ii) State the contents of location R in Fig. 2.
(iii) The concentrations of substances in structure Q are different from those in location R.
Explain how the properties of structure P result in differences in concentrations of substances in Q and R.
Section B - Answer both questions in this section.
6. The diagram shows the location of several features close to a river that runs from mountains into the ocean.
(a) Describe and explain the possible harmful effects of human activity on the environment at each of the following locations: the agricultural land, the power station.
(b) Suggest ways in which people in the town could make changes to their activities in order to reduce the harmful impact that they have on the environment.
Q7. The diagram shows a region of the alimentary canal and the associated organs.
(a) (i) Identify part S.
(ii) Name and describe the process which moves food through part S.
(b) (i) Draw a ring around the correct words to complete the sentence below.
(ii) Explain how the pH at location U results from secretions produced by organs shown in the diagram. Name these organs.
Section C - Answer either question 8 or question 9.
8 (a) Describe and explain how each of the following affects enzyme activity: pH, temperature.
(b) Name one enzyme that acts in a named part of the alimentary canal and describe the role of this enzyme in digestion.
9 (a) Describe and explain how each of the following affects the rate of photosynthesis: light intensity, temperature.
(b) Explain how animals are dependent on the process of photosynthesis.
