Bubbles of gas are released. The rate at which bubbles of gas are produced can be used to measure the rate of photosynthesis. An investigation was carried out to study the effect of different colours of light on the rate of photosynthesis in the pondweed. The pondweed was exposed to one colour of light and left for 5 minutes before measurements were taken. The time for the release of 20 bubbles was recorded. The procedure was repeated using light of a different colour of equal intensity The apparatus was set up as shown in the diagram below. The results are shown in the table below. COLOUR OF LIGHT TIME TAKEN TO RELEASE 20 BUBBLES (SECONDS) Violet 80 Blue 40 Green 160 Yellow 140 Red Which colour light is the best for photosynthesis? (1) State the: a. Independent variable (1) b. Dependent variable (1) Calculate the average time taken for the release of 20 bubbles for ALL colours. Show all Calculations. (3) Express bubble production under violet, blue and green light as a ratio. (2)

(8) (19) 2.2 The diagram below represents an experiment in which the apparatus was place in a warm place for some time. The sugar (grapes) solution was first boiled and then cooled down before yeast was added. Study the diagram and answer the questions that follow What is the aim of the experiment? (2) Name one function of each of the following in the investigation: a. Lime water (1) b. rubber stopper (1) Why should the sugar solution be boiled before yeast is added? (2) Name two new substances that may form in the sugar solution during the experiment. (2) How would you set up a control for this experiment? (2) (10)

(2) (11) QUESTION 2 [40] QUESTION A scientist wanted to investigate if the altitude at which people live affects the number of red blood cells in their blood. She counted the red blood cells in the blood of healthy people who were living permanently at five different altitudes. The table below shows the results of her investigation. Study the information in the table and answer the questions that follow. HEIGHT ABOVE SEA LEVEL NUMBER OF RED BLOOD CELLS IN THE BLOOD (millions per mm 3 ) 0 5, , , , , Write down a hypothesis that the scientist could have been testing in her investigation.

(1) State the role of the organisms mentioned in question in succession. (2) (5) 9

9 3.3 The Colorado Beetle is a pest because it feeds on potato crops. In an investigation, the population of beetles in a 2000 m 2 potato field estimated as described below: A sample of beetles from the field was collected and counted. Each beetle was marked with a spot of paint and then released back into the field Three days later a second sample was collected and counted. The number of marked beetles in this second sample was noted The results are shown in the table below Number of beetles that were marked and released Number of beetle in the second sample Number of marked beetle in the second sample The population of beetles can be estimated using the following formula P = M xc R P = population estimate M = number of beetles captured and marked C = number of beetles recaptured R = number of marked beetles in the second capture Calculate the population size of beetles in the field. Show all calculations. (3) State whether the population size of the beetles will be UNDERESTIMATED or OVERESTIMATED under the following conditions. a. Some of the marks on the beetles wear off before the second catch. (1) b. The second sample is taken from the same place as the first, long after the first sample was taken.

(4) Give the name and number of the part of the kidney in which filtration of blood occur?

10 3.5 Kidney stones are one of the most common disorders of the kidney Describe how are kidney stones formed? (2) Name two ways how kidney stones can be treated. (2) (4) 3.6. Make a labelled diagram of the Malphigian body. (5) SECTION 4 QUESTION 4 QUESTION 3 [40] 4.1 A male and ten female Impala were introduced into a section of a game reserve that previously contained no Impala. The following graph illustrate the growth of the Impala population. The dotted line graph (X) shows the theoretical maximum rate at which the population could have increased, while the solid line graph (Y) is the actual rate of population growth. Bearing in mind that no hunting took place, describe both types of growth patterns (X and Y) as it would occur at each phase of growth in the Impala population.
