A student investigated photosynthesis in a variegated leaf. A variegated leaf has a green part that contains a green pigment and a white part that does not contain the green pigment. is a photograph of some variegated leaves. green part of the leaf white part of the leaf State where the green pigment is found in a plant cell. A student investigated a variegated leaf from a plant that had been kept in the light for 24 hours. The student prepared the leaf by boiling it and then placing it in ethanol to remove the green pigment. The student then tested the leaf with iodine solution. Table 2.1 shows the results. Table 2.1 part of the leaf colour with iodine solution green blue‑black white yellow‑brown Explain the results shown in Table 2.1 for the white part of the leaf. This investigation was repeated with a plant that was kept for 24 hours in an environment where all the carbon dioxide was removed. Complete Table 2.2 to predict the results. Table 2.2 part of the leaf colour with iodine solution green white The boxes on the left show the names of some substances that are made in plants. The boxes on the right show uses of these substances in plants. Draw lines to link each substance with its correct use in plants. Draw three lines. use in plants to attract insects for pollination to build cell walls for transpiration for transport in the phloem substance cellulose nectar sucrose List the chemical elements contained in carbohydrates.

Antibiotics are a type of drug. The box on the left contains the beginning of a sentence. The boxes on the right show some sentence endings. Draw lines to link the phrase ‘Antibiotic drugs’ on the left to three boxes on the right to make three correct sentences. Antibiotic drugs affect chemical reactions in the body. are less effective against organisms that show resistance. are used to cure coronary heart disease. are the main cause of rickets. kill bacteria. kill viruses. shows the number of antibiotic doses given per 1000 people per day in six different countries.

All living organisms can be classified into groups by the features they share. Complete the sentences about classifying organisms. A species is a group of organisms that reproduce to produce offspring. All species are named using an internationally agreed system called the system. Fish, mammals, reptiles and amphibians are vertebrate groups. The other vertebrate group is . All vertebrates belong to the kingdom. One feature that is used to identify vertebrates is a . Draw a circle around the characteristic shared by all living organisms. egestion nutrition sexual reproduction transpiration Scientists measured the length of a sample of one species of fish. shows where the scientists took their measurements to determine the length of each fish. length Table 8.1 shows the results. Table 8.1 length / cm number of fish 0 –19 20 –39 40 –59 60 –79 80 –99 100 –119 Use the information in Table 8.1 to calculate the total number of fish the scientists measured. State the most frequent length shown in Table 8.1. cm State the type of variation shown by the data in Table 8.1. Place a tick (✓) in the box that shows the meaning of variation. Variation is an alternative form of a gene. Variation is the differences between individuals of the same species. Variation is the recessive allele in a genotype. Variation is the transmission of genetic information from generation to generation.
