Some substances move into cells by the process of diffusion. State the name of the outer part of an animal cell that substances move through during diffusion. Substances can also move by osmosis and active transport. Table 1.1 shows some of the features of diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Complete Table 1.1 by placing one tick (3) in each row to show the features of diffusion, osmosis and active transport. One has been done for you. Table 1.1 feature diffusion osmosis active transport involves movement of water only always involves movement across a partially permeable membrane movement is from a higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration requires energy from respiration involves the movement of both gases and solutes Oxygen moves from the air that we breathe into the blood. State three structures of the gas exchange system that oxygen molecules must pass through on their way to the blood.

is a diagram of the human female reproductive system. C B D E A Identify the letter from which represents: • the vagina • the uterus • where ovulation occurs • where the fetus grows • where fertilisation occurs. Each letter may be used once, more than once or not at all. Egg cells are the female gametes and have special adaptive features. Complete the sentences using words from the list. Each word may be used once, more than once or not at all. birth cellulose cytoplasm energy fertilisation jelly labour Egg cells have stores so that they can survive for several days in the female reproductive system after ovulation. They also have a coating which changes after to prevent more sperm from entering the egg. Table 2.1 shows the average diameters of egg cells from different mammals. Table 2.1 mammal average diameter of egg cell / µm goat horse human mouse rabbit sheep State the name of the mammal with the egg cell that has the smallest average diameter in Table 2.1. Calculate the difference in average diameter between the egg cells of humans and goats. µm Larger mammals usually have egg cells with a greater diameter. Suggest which is the largest mammal using the information in Table 2.1.

A student investigated respiration in yeast. An equal mass of yeast was added to different types of sugar solution. The student measured the volume of carbon dioxide released by the yeast using four different sugar solutions with the same concentrations. The four different sugar solutions used were: • dextrose • lactose • maltose • sucrose. is a graph of the results. time / minutes volume of carbon dioxide released / cm3 sucrose dextrose maltose lactose State the name of the sugar solution that produced the most carbon dioxide. State the volume of carbon dioxide produced by yeast with the dextrose solution at 80 minutes. cm3 The temperature during the investigation was maintained at 20 °C. Predict the effect on the volume of carbon dioxide produced if the investigation was repeated at 30 °C. State two ways humans use anaerobic respiration in yeast to make useful products. Describe the similarities and differences between anaerobic respiration in yeast and aerobic respiration in humans. similarities differences State the word equation for anaerobic respiration in humans.

shows some of the processes involved in the treatment of sewage. settlement trickle filters OR activated sludge sludge treatment methane screening raw sewage treated water Complete Table 4.1 by placing ticks (3) in the correct boxes to show what is involved in each process during the treatment of sewage. The first row has been completed for you. Table 4.1 process process involves: aeration removal of large solids separating liquid waste from solid waste the use of microorganisms production of methane screening settlement sludge treatment trickle filters OR activated sludge Describe two reasons why it is necessary to treat sewage before returning the water to the environment.

is a photograph of part of a flower. Some of the outer structures have been removed to show the internal parts. Label these structures on with a label line and the name: • anther • petal • stigma. Describe two features visible in that suggest that this is an insect-pollinated flower. Many living organisms can be classified as plants or animals. Table 5.1 shows some features of animals and plants. Place ticks (3) in the boxes to show the correct features of animals and plants. Table 5.1 feature animals plants can respire can grow can make their own food contain DNA can respond to changes in their environment State two structures that are present in plant cells but not in animal cells.

A student wrote an incorrect definition of the term hormone. The student’s incorrect definition is shown in . A hormone is an electrical substance, produced by a gland and carried by the neurones, which alters the activity of one or more specific target organs. Identify the two incorrect words in the student’s definition. Table 6.1 shows the names of some hormones and the glands where they are secreted. Complete Table 6.1. Table 6.1 hormone gland adrenal insulin oestrogen testes shows the position of some of the organs and endocrine glands in the body. kidney Draw an X on to identify an adrenal gland. The list in shows some of the changes that occur in boys and girls during puberty. breasts grow hair grows in armpits pubic hair grows hips widen menstruation testes grow State two changes that occur in girls only from the list in .

Researchers investigated the effects of using a fertiliser on the number of leaves grown by plants. The fertiliser contained nitrate and magnesium ions. Plants in group 1 were grown in soil with fertiliser. Plants in group 2 were grown in soil without fertiliser. The results are shown in . days after planting average number of leaves per plant key: group 1 group 2 Describe the results shown in . A student wrote a series of statements to explain why an increase in nitrate and magnesium ions increased the number of leaves. Not all of the statements are correct. A – Magnesium is required for the synthesis of chlorophyll. B – Nitrate ions are a component of carbohydrates. C – Chlorophyll is required for photosynthesis. D – Proteins are needed for growth. E – Plants make their own food by the process of respiration. F – Respiration produces glucose. State the letters of the correct statements. State the principal source of energy for plants.

Calculate the percentage change in mass of plastic recycled between 2012 and 2017. % Discarded rubbish is one source of pollution. Adding excess fertiliser to soil is another source of pollution. State two other types of substances used in agriculture that can pollute land and water. State the names of two gases that pollute air and are linked to climate change.

The box on the left contains the beginning of a sentence. The boxes on the right show some endings of sentences. Draw lines to make three correct sentences about reflex actions. are automatic. are slow. coordinate stimuli with responses. Reflex actions do not involve synapses. involve the central nervous system. occur only in plants.
