B     Conventional questions
1      a, b  nitrogen / phosphorus / potassium / magnesium / sulphur / calcium / iron (any 2)                   1×2
Con:                nitrate is not an element
        c      major elements                                                                                                                        1
        d      trace elements                                                                                                                  1
        e      fertilizers                                                                                                                         1

2      a      Diffusion                                                                                                                         1
Con/Rel:          Photosynthesis / respiration
b      Gases in the atmosphere diffuse into the air space through structure R.                                  1
Gases dissolve in the moist surface of the cells in tissue N and diffuse directly into the cells.        1
Gases in these cells diffuse to the neighbouring cells, finally reaching the cells in tissue M.   1

        c      There are many air spaces among the cells, allowing gases to diffuse freely.                          1
The surface of the cells is moist. This allows gases to dissolve in the moisture and then
diffuse into the cells easily.                                                                                                     1
Rel:         Adaptive feature of leaf

3      a      Independent variable: light intensity                                                                                        1
                Dependent variables: rates of carbon dioxide uptake and release                                            1
Con:                Confusion between i.v. & d.v.

b      Number / surface area of sun leaves and shade leaves / surrounding temperature
(any 2 or other correct answers)                                                                                      1×2
Con:                Weak concept of c.v.

        c      Sun leaves: 2 + 2 = 4 arbitrary units of rate of carbon dioxide uptake                                     1
Shade leaves: 2 + 3.5 = 5.5 arbitrary units of rate of carbon dioxide uptake                           1
Con:                Still do not know the cancelling effect of respiration with photosynthesis

        d      Sun leaves: 5 arbitrary units of light intensity                                                                  1
Shade leaves: 2 arbitrary units of light intensity                                                                       1

        e      Shade leaves reach the compensation point / carry out photosynthesis / produce food

earlier in the day / at lower light intensities.                                                                             1

B     Conventional questions
1      a      X: tricuspid valve                                                                                                            1
Y: semilunar valve                                                                                                           1
Z: bicuspid valve                                                                                                             1
        b      There will be a backflow of blood into the left atrium when the left ventricle contracts.         1
                The heart will become less efficient in pumping blood to different parts of the body
(except the lungs).                                                                                                           1

2      a      To provide a large surface area for the exchange of materials between the blood and body cells.
                                                                                                                                                        1
        b      The arteriole end of the capillary bed is closer to the heart.                                                     1
                The blood pressure is higher due to the pumping action of the heart.                                      1
                The blood pressure decreases along the length of the capillary as the distance from the heart
increases                                                                                                                          1
and blood flow encounters high resistance of the capillary wall.                                             1
        c      At the arteriole end of the capillary bed, blood pressure in the capillaries is higher than the
pressure of the fluid surrounding the body cells.                                                                     1
Some components of plasma (e.g. water, minerals, sugars, lipids and hormones) are forced out
of the capillaries to form fluid F (tissue fluid).                                                                        1
d      Fluid F provides a relatively constant environment for the normal functions of the body cells.
                                                                                                                                        1
Fluid F serves as a link for the exchange of materials between the blood and body cells.
                                                                                                                                        1
e      Contraction of the skeletal muscles surrounding vessel M drives fluid F forwards.                 1
Valves in vessel M prevent the backflow of fluid F.                                                                1

3      a      P                                                                                                                                      1
                The blood at N receives a greater force from the pumping action of the left ventricle             1                     and thus the blood pressure is higher.                                                                                      1
        b      Valves (1) and (3) are open.                                                                                             1

                Valves (2) and (4) are closed.                                                                                          1
