26.    Hypertonic solution has higher solute concentration than the tissue/cells/cytoplasm
(or converse);
Water moves out of the cells/tissue by osmosis (into the hypertonic solution);
Water moves from lower solute concentration (higher water potential) to higher solute
concentration (lower water potential);
Pressure inside cell drops / cell no longer turgid / cell becomes flaccid;
Reject ‘plant wilts’ and other answers about whole plants.

Volume of vacuole and cytoplasm drops / membrane retracts from the cell wall / cell is
plasmolysed;
(4)

27.      (plasma) membrane encloses/engulfs solid particles/droplets of fluid/molecules;


fluidity of the membrane allows endocytosis;
in phagocytosis, sections of the plasma membrane form pseudopodia to engulf the
particles;
plasma membrane forms pit/forms indentation/pulled inwards/invaginates;
membrane pinches off/seals back on itself/edges fuse;
a vesicle is formed;
inside of plasma membrane becomes outside of vesicle membrane / converse;
vesicle breaks away from plasma membrane and moves into cytoplasm;
active process / endocytosis/vesicle formation requires energy;
receptor mediated endocytosis requires receptors on the plasma membrane which bind to
specific molecules prior to invagination
Accept any of the above points clearly described in an annotated diagram.
(5)

28.      passive transport requires no (metabolic) energy / ATP;


molecules move down a concentration gradient;    not ‘across’ or ‘along’
water moves by osmosis;
from lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration / higher water
potential to lower;
small uncharged molecules move by diffusion;
between phospholipid molecules;
larger charged molecules move by facilitated diffusion;
which requires a (specific) protein channel;

29.      growth phase/G-1: synthesis of proteins/cytoplasm/organelles;
synthesis phase/S-phase: replication of DNA;
second growth phase/G-2: continued growth of cytoplasm/molecular
synthesis/duplication of organelles;
prophase: chromosomes super-coil to prepare for mitosis / nuclear envelope disappears /
spindle fibres form;
metaphase: chromosomes line up at equatorial/metaphase plate / spindle fibres attach to
the centromeres of chromosomes;
anaphase: chromatids move along microtubules/spindle fibres move chromatids (now
chromosomes) toward opposite poles;
telophase: new nuclear membranes form around each cluster of chromosomes;
cytokinesis: new plasma membrane forms between the nuclei / cell plate forms;
a new cell wall forms;
(mitosis) results in two cells with genetically identical nuclei;
Names of phases are required to earn the mark.    Award marks for a clearly drawn correctly annotated diagram.
(7)

30.    double membrane may have formed when original prokaryote was engulfed (one
membrane is that of the endosymbiont and the other is from the host) ✔
replicate by binary fission like free-living prokaryotes / reproduce separately from host
cell ✔
they have their own naked /circular DNA like prokaryotes✔
they have «70s» ribosomes and can manufacture (some of) their own proteins as
prokaryotes can ✔
they are similar in size to free-living prokaryotes ✔
mitochondrial inner membranes manufacture ATP like bacterial membranes ✔
