3. You are provided with a mature orange fruit labeled specimen H,0.01% D.C.P,IP solution, Benedicts solution, iodine, dropper, means of heating,3 testtubes,1 test tube holder, test tube rack, filter paper, filter funnel,1 100ml beaker.
   1. Cut specimen H transversely into 2 halves. Squeeze the juice from the two halves into a small beaker. filter the juice and discard the residue. Using part of the juice and the reagents provided only, test for the food substances in the juice and record observations and conclusions in the table below.

• 10ml measuring cylinder
• 1 test tube rack
• 1 filter paper
• 100ml beaker
• Droppers on the access.
• 1 scapel

Marking Scheme

1.         
   1. 1. Class - Dicotyledonae
      2. Reason:
         • Prescence of two cotyledons in specimen L.
         • Network venation on the plumule leaves in specimen L.
   2.             
      1. • K -Hypogeal
         • Reason - Cotyledons remain in the ground
      2.    
         • L - Hypogeal
         • Reason - Cotyledons are brought above the ground.
   3.      
      • H - Epicotyl
      • G - Hypocotyl
   4. Both will develop tap root system.
   5.          
      1. Rhizobium bacteria.
      2. Nitrogen fixation.
      3. Symbiosis- the bacteria converts atmosphere nitrogen into ammonia some of which is taken up by plants in the manufacture of amino acids. The bacteria in turn obtains shelter and carbohydrates from the plant.
2.                   
   1.         
      1.    
         • P - Molar tooth
         • Reason
           • Biting surface is wide and has cusps /ridges.
           • Prescence of three roots.
      2.     
         • Q - Incisor
         • Reason - Biting surface is chisel shaped with sharp pointed tips.
   2.       
      1.  Both have one root.
      2.          
         • R has a pointed biting surface while s has a broad biting surface with cusps/ridges.
         • R has one root while. S has two roots.
   3. It has cusps /ridges on its biting surface that enable crushing and grinding of food.
   4. A-Cusps/ridges
      B-Crown
      C-Neck
      D-Root
3.                
   1.             
      

      Food	Procedure	Observations	Conclusion
      Starch	Put 2ml of juice from specimen H in a clean test tube. Add 2 drops of iodine solution and shake.	The yellow colour of iodine solution persists.	Starch absent.
      Reducing sugar	Put 2ml of juice from specimen into a clean test tube. Add equal amounts of benedict’s solution and heat to boil and shake.	The colour changes from blue ,green, yellow to orange.	Reducing sugars present.
      Vitamin C	Put 2ml of D.C.P.I.P Solution in a clean test tube. Add juice from specimen H drop wise while shaking.	D.C.P.I.P is decolourized.	Vitamin C present.
