Answers:
1. Any two of the following:
Initiates gene expression
Controls the metabolic activities of a cell by regulating which genes are expressed
Controls DNA replication during cell division
Repairs genetic information.
2.
3. D
4. L, H, N
5a.
Challenge answer:
The following is a list of valid points that could be included in your answer. Each point would equal one mark:
They are bounded by a cell membrane. It is a selective barrier which controls what substances can enter the
cell such as food molecules or leave the cell such as waste products (excretion).
They have ribosomes for protein synthesis. Proteins are needed for many cell structures/the enzymes which
control the cell metabolism.
Prokaryotic and some eukaryotic organisms have a cell wall. This gives strength/protection.
All cells have DNA which codes for the proteins that are made.
When reproduction/growth of new cells occurs the DNA is copied so that the daughter cells have the genetic
information.
The genetic material of prokaryotic cells is a single loop of DNA that lies in the cytoplasm and a plasmid. In
eukaryotic organisms, it is in the nucleus.
Some cells have chlorophyll/chloroplasts for photosynthesis/making food.
Some cells have structures like flagella which allow them to move.
Cells have mitochondria for respiration. Respiration releases the energy needed for the other like
processes/cell functions.
Q3.
a.
any four from:
Q4.
Q5. State two functions of the plasma membrane and explain the importance of each function
Provide a barrier between an internal and external environment (or the inside and outside of an organelle)
Allows chemicals to move across them via osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, active transport,
endocytosis, or exocytosis
Receive messages and transfer these into a form the cell can respond to self-identification
Challenge answer:
Description (any two)
Phospholipid bilayer
Integral protein the in membrane
Protein’s 3D shape allows it to act as a channel, bind solutes, and/or bind ATP, as
necessary
Answers:
Q1. Water and carbon dioxide (chemical symbols equally acceptable).
Q2.
Water is split in the light-dependent reaction to produce oxygen gas.
Oxygen produced diffuses into the stroma (region R) or When light is not available, oxygen is not
produced.
Q3.
NADPH transfers hydrogen ions. Protons and electrons are also acceptable answers.
ATP transfers energy. To gain full marks students were required to give the role of each coenzyme.
Q4.
a. LHS = water accept H2O RHS = oxygen accept O2
b. light / sunlight
Challenge answer:
any four from:
• make more profit / cost effective
• raising temp. to 25 °C makes very little difference at 0.03% CO2
• (at 20 °C) with CO2 at 0.1%, raises rate
• (at 20 °C with CO2 at 0.1%) → >3x rate / rises from 5 to 17
• although 25 °C → higher rate, cost of heating not economical
• extra light does not increase rate / already max. rate with daylight
accept ref to profits c.f. costs must be favourable
Q5.
Factor Effect Explanation
CO (concentration)
2
as CO2 increases so does the rate (graph increases) because CO2 is the raw material or used
and then it levels off or shown in a in photosynthesis / converted to organic substance /
graph named egor(graph levels off) when another factor limits
the rate.
Answers:
Q1 in yeast:
’it’ equals yeast
Q2. W, Z, X, W
the electron transport chain being unable to provide larger amounts of ATP
there being insufficient energy available to maintain life.
Award 1 mark for each of two key points in a valid explanation.
Q4. A lack of mitochondria would mean a lower rate of cellular respiration, and the person would tire more readily.
Challenge answer:
Answers:
Q1. Q P J M L G H.
Q3. In plants
(cell), plate/wall, forms (between new cells);
Idea of: Cytokenisis starts from middle of cell;
Only occurs in meristem; no centrioles
Idea of;
Cell swells on one side/bulges’
Nucleus/cytoplasm/organelles, move into, bud/bulge
Pinches off/cell wall forms, (so bud becomes a separate cell)
Q5.
Identification
Growth/G1
DNA Synthesis/S
Preparation for mitosis/G2
Description
Growth, DNA synthesis, preparation for mitosis/G1, S, G2
Challenge answer:
Answers:
Q1. Image D would be found at point W.
Explanation should refer to one of the following:
The chromosomes are visible.
It shows anaphase of mitosis.
(1 mark for either of the above)
Q2. Programmed cell death can be used to remove damaged or non-functioning cells
and also remove cells that are no longer required, for example, plasma cells in the immune system or the cells that
comprise the webbing between the fingers.
Q3. Apoptosis is programmed cell death and reduced apoptosis would result in webbing between the fingers.
Q4. Totipotent stem cells can differentiate into all kinds of specialised cell types. Pluripotent stem cells able to
develop into most/many cell types. Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited range of specialised cell
types.
Q5.
Challenge answer:
Any 4 of the following:
Rare species
Prevent Extinction
Create large amounts of 1 variety
Disease resistance
Increase farmers Profits
