MARKING SCHEME

  1.    
    1. Record your observations.
      • Bubbling/effervescence/ fizzing gas formed
      • White precipitate in solution K.

    2. What conclusion would you draw for your observation in (a) above?
      • Gas produced is carbon (IV) oxide;
      • Solution K is lime water/ calcium hydroxide

    3.    
      1. Name the biological process that took place in the boiling tube
        • Anaerobic respiration/ fermentation

      2. Explain the process you have named in c (i)
        • Glucose is broken down by enzymes (in yeast);
        • Giving out Carbon (TV) oxide/ ethanol and energy.

      3. Suggest the identity of J.
        • Yeast:

    4.    
      1. Suggest a reason why the temperature range in this experiment was maintained between 35° and40°.
        • It's the optimum temperature range for enzymatic reactions.

      2. With reasons, suggest the expected results if the experiment was performed at
        • 0ºC.
          • No reaction/ slow reaction
          • No. CO, produced
          • less CO

          • rej. no change;

        • Reason
          • Enzymes are denatured/ yeast cells killed

      • D-Cotyledons/ Seed leaves -
      • Photosynthesis; storage of food
      • E-Coleoptile/ plumule Sheath-Protects delicate tip/first leaves/ foliage leaves

        • Rhizobium bacteria;

      3. Explain the relationship that exists between the named organisms and the plant
        • Symbic tic relationships were the bacteria get protection and nutrient while the points get nitrates fixed by bacteria.

      1. State the types of germination exhibited by R series of the seedlings
        • Epigeal

      2. Give a reason for your answer in c (1) above
        • Cotyledons are brought out of the ground

    4. State any two external factors necessary for germination
      • Water
      • Oxygen

    1. Name the bones labeled 1, 2, and 3 on the photograph
      • -Tlium - 
      • Pubis -
      • Femur 

    2.       .   
      1. Name type of joint found at the proximal end bone 3 as it articulates with the adjacent bone
        • Ball and socket

      2. Give an observable feature on bone 3 for your answer in (b) (i) above
        • Ball like head/Rounded head;
    3.            
      1. Name the part labeled Q.
        • Lumbar vertebra;
        • rej. vertebrae

      2. Give two functions of the part named above
        • Attachment of abdominal muscles
        • Supports the animals weight

    4. Indicate on the above diagram the position of pub symphysis
      • Pubis Bynphysis

    5. Using observable features only, state how bone I is adapted to its functions
      • Broad/ wide to provide large surface area for muscle attachment Has broad sacral facet; that attaches it to the terrace process of first sacral vertebrae;
