6(a) (i) The process shown in diagram 6.1 is simple diffusion. At the beginning of the experiment the base of the beaker has a high concentration of potassium permanganate(VII) whereas in the distilled water, the concentration of potassium permanganate(VII) is low. There is concentration gradient between the potassium permanganate(VII) at the base of the beaker with the distilled water at the top. The diffusion of potassium permanganate(VII) molecules will occur from the region of high concentration to low concentration, which is in accordance to the concentration gradient to achieve equilibrium of concentration. Hence, at the end of the experiment, the purple colour of potassium permanganate(VII) can be seen throughout the water in the beaker because the potassium permanganate molecules have moved by simple diffusion to a region of low concentration of potassium permanganate(VII).

6 (a) (ii) Fresh milk Pasteurisation is a method of preservation of milk. Fresh milk is heated to 63C for 30 minutes and then cooled instantly. Or milk is heated to 72C for 15 seconds and then cooled instantly. The method of preservation will destroy the microorganisms but will not change the nutrient value and colour of milk. Fish The process of dehydration is a method of preserving fish. The fish is dried with the use of fire, smoke or is left in the hot sun. Food that is dried will have very low content of water and also is covered with carbon. The water content which is low will cause the microorganisms which are present to be destroyed or change into spores which are not active.

7 (a) (i) Organism P shows autotrophic nutrition whereby it is able to synthesis complex organic substances, for example, carbohydrates from inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide and water. Organism Q shows heterotrophic nutrition, whereby it is unable to synthesis its own food and has to feed on food substances previously synthesised by other organisms. 7 (a) (ii) Similarity Both have alimentary canals which are unable to secrete enzyme cellulose to digest cellulose. Differences R is a rodent with a one-chamber stomach whereas Q is a ruminant with a fourchamber stomach. R has a large caecum compared to Q. In R, food is digested twice through the alimentary canal whereas in Q, food is digested only once. In R, there is no regurgitation of food. In Q, the partially masticated food is regurgidated to the mouth for further mastication. Bacteria and protozoa in the caecum of organism R secrete cellulase to digest cellulose. Bacteria and protozoa in the rumen and reticulum of organism Q secrete cellulose to digest cellulose.

7 (b) Obesity Obesity is often caused by consumption of excess carbohydrates and fats and lack of exercise. People who are obese should reduce intake of fats and carbohydrates and carry out more exercise. Anaemia Anaemia may be due to insufficient red blood cells or the available red blood cells do not contain sufficient haemoglobin to transport oxygen. Anaemia often results from a deficiency of nutritional factors (e.g. iron, vitamin B12) required to synthesis haemoglobin or red blood cells. It may also be caused by excessive loss of blood or destruction of the cells by endoparasites. There should be an increase in the intake of ion and vitamin B12 if anaemia is caused by the deficiency of these factors. Constipation Constipation is the difficulty or infrequent elimination of faeces from the body. Eating more food high in dietary fibres and drink more fluid to prevent constipation.

8 (a) (i) Amoeba does not have special structure to carry out respiration. Gaseous exchange is carried out through diffusion across the plasma membrane. The concentration of oxygen is higher in the outside environment compared to inside the cell. The oxygen diffuses into the cell by diffusion across the plasma membrane. The concentration of carbon dioxide is higher in the amoeba compared to the outside environment. Carbon dioxide diffuses out through the plasma membrane by diffusion. 8 (b) (i) Organism X Has branching fine tracheoles to increase the total surface area to volume ratio Tracheoles have a moist wall to facilitate dissolving of the gas The wall of tracheole is thin to speed up the process of gaseous exchange. The number of tracheoles is numerous to provide a large surface area. Organism Y The gill filaments have numerous projections to increase the surface area. The thin membrane of the filament facilitates diffusion of respiratory gases into and out. There are numerous blood capillaries in the gill filament to absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide.
