    SECTION B

    41. (a) (i) Tissue fluid/interstitial fluid/intercellular fluid; accept extracellular fluid

    (ii) at the arterial end of the capillary pressure is high; due to pumping action of the heart and
    narrowness of the capillaries; the hydrostatic pressure forces the fluid part of the blood through the
    capillary walls; into the intercellular space by ultrafiltration ;

    (b) at the venous end of the capillary bed hydrostatic pressure is low; increased OP of the plasma
    proteins in blood; causes tissue fluid to be drawn back into the capillaries; excess tissue fluid is drawn
    into the lymph vessels;

    (c) Plasma proteins; blood cells;

    42.(a)(i) loss of alleles from one population and gain by another ;alters allele frequency for both; which
    leads to increased genetic variation; in both populations; continued/regular gene flow makes gene pools
    Similar; (BS 914)

    (ii) this makes certain individuals within the population have an increased reproductive potential;
    while others have decreased reproductive potential ;altering their allele frequency in subsequent
    generations

    (b) (i) p+q =1; q = 0.07/ p+0.07=1; p =1-0.07; p=0.93; NB ½ marks

    (ii) Diabetic =q2; q2= (0.07x0.07); = 0.0049; NB ½ marks

    (ii) Heterozygous/carriers = 2pq; = 2(0.93x0.07) = 0.13; NB ½ marks

    43. (a) brings about decay; and recycling of nutrients;

    (b) (i) lower oxygen content of the soil; promoting denitrification; which lowers nitrogen content
    of the soil;

    (ii) Reduces the moisture content of the soil; reducing the rate of decomposition; lowering
    nitrogen content of soil;
    (c) – causes decline in root growth/reduces plant growth;

    -kills organisms; /kills microorganisms/mycorrhiza;

    Lowers PH. of soil and water;

    -promotes leaching of spoil minerals

    -corrodes rocks;

    Increases soSO4 and NO3 are deficient;

    44. (a) (i) the rate of photosynthesis increases rapidly up to 3 arbitrary units+/- 0.5 of light intensity; and
    then remains constant up to 10 arbitrary units;

    (b) Rate of photosynthesis attains maximum at lower light intensity for curve A; because carbon
    dioxide becomes a limiting factor; /Rate of photosynthesis attains a higher maximum for curve B
    because carbon dioxide is no longer a limiting factor;

    Photosynthesis has attained the highest possible rate;

    (c) Carbondioxide; and temperature; become limiting factors Accept low temperature, low carbon
    dioxide

    (d) –excites electrons from chlorophyll for ATP formation;

    - provides energy for photolysis of water; which releases H+ for reduction of NADP; providing
    electrons to stabilize PSII;

    45. (a) (i) the potential difference across the membrane of a nerve cell at rest; where the inside is
    negatively charged relative to the outside;

    (ii) This is a synapse between a motor neurone and a muscle; where the axon of a motor neurone
    divides to form fine branches ending in a synaptic knob;

    (iii) Action potentials only form at nodes of Ranvier in myelinated nerves; hence impulses jump from one
    node to another;

    (b) (i) the active pumping of sodium ions out of axon and potassium ions into the axon; making the
    inside more negative relative to the outside;

    (ii) Schwann cell; /neurilemma cell;

    46. (a) (i) increases rapidly to a maximum; due to reabsorption of water/diffusion of ions; then
    decreases rapidly; due to active reabsorption of solutes into the interstitial fluid;

    (ii) The concentration of solutes increases rapidly; due to increased osmotic reabsorption of
    water;
    (b) Mammals are able to excrete hypertonic urine; and conserve water in the body;

    (c) Insufficient production of ADH; resulting into little reabsorption of water from the collecting duct;
