Which equation best represents aerobic respiration? energy + glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water + energy 17 The diagram shows the rib cage and some of the muscles involved in breathing as seen from the side. intercostal muscles vertebral column sternum (breastbone) diaphragm ribs 6 P a g e

7 What happens when the intercostal muscles shown in the diagram contract? The diaphragm moves down. The lungs inflate. The pressure inside the lungs decreases. The ribs move down. 18 The diagram shows a section of an alveolus and a capillary in a lung. air flow blood flow Z blood flow X Y What are the relative concentrations of carbon dioxide at X, Y and Z?

It will decrease because there will be more competition with stoats for food. It will increase because there will be more rats, beetles and rabbits for them to eat. It will stay the same because owls do not eat foxes. It will stay the same because stoats will eat less food. 30 Which organisms convert ammonium compounds to nitrates? decomposing bacteria decomposing fungi nitrifying bacteria nitrogen-fixing bacteria 9 P a g e

11 36 Which row correctly shows an advantage of feeding babies breast milk and an advantage of feeding them bottle milk? advantage of breast feeding advantage of bottle feeding Feeding helps create a bond ottle feeding is cheaper. between mother and baby. It is easier to control the amount Other people besides the of milk the baby receives. mother can feed the baby. The baby receives antibodies The baby is less likely to from the mother. suffer from diarrhoea. The milk contains exactly the HIV is less likely to be right balance of nutrients. transmitted from mother to baby. 37 Which of these may be heterozygous? a haploid cell an allele of a gene an organism with a dominant phenotype an organism with a recessive genotype 38 red-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant. ll the offspring have red flowers. What is the genotype of these offspring? RR and Rr RR only Rr only rr only 39 person with own s syndrome is born with 47 chromosomes in each cell, instead of 46. What could cause this? mutation happened during the production of the egg cell. More than one sperm fused with the egg at fertilisation. Radiation caused a change in structure of a gene in the father s sperm.
