10 | P a g e 11 | P a g e (Total for question 4 = 13 marks)
12 | P a g e 5 Some scientists believe that mitochondria evolved from prokaryotic organisms.
They think that a prokaryotic organism entered a single-celled eukaryotic
organism and lived inside it. The two organisms evolved to become dependent on each other.
13 | P a g e 14 | P a g e (e) Eukaryotic cells contain structures called organelles. These structures are the sites of specific functions within the cell.
15 | P a g e 16 | P a g e (f)
(Total for Question 5 = 17 marks)
17 | P a g e 6 Organisms can be classified into one of three taxonomic groups called domains.
18 | P a g e 19 | P a g e (Total for Question 6 = 7 marks)
7 Give two similarities between the structure of a mitochondrion
and the structure of a prokaryotic organism.
(Total for Question 7 = 2 marks)
20 | P a g e *8 Explain how molecular evidence led to the reclassification of species and how the scientific community would have reviewed the evidence before it was accepted.
21 | P a g e (Total for Question 8 = 6 marks)
9 22 | P a g e 23 | P a g e (Total for Question 9 = 7 marks)
10 Suggest why magnesium deficiency affects the growth of rice
plants.
Note: State TWO valid reasons for this question (for 1 mark).
