    This document outlines an examination for a biology practical test. It provides instructions and mark schemes for two experiments - one on transpiration in plant leaves and another on the rate of respiration in yeast. The document contains detailed guidance for students on how to perform the experiments and what observations would earn marks.

    1 (a) (i) description:

    inner surface of plastic bag wet/ has water droplets; [1]


    explanation:
    ref. to transpiration;
    water absorbed by roots conducted to leaves;
    lost as water vapour through stomata;
    ref. to condensation; [max. 3]
    (ii) to ensure enough/more water is produced/released;
    to increase surface area for transpiration; [2]
    (iii) increasing rate of transpiration;
    ref. to provision of light for stomata to open;
    so water droplets can be seen on the inside of the plastic bag; [max. 1]
    (iv) to allow time for transpiration to occur/for water droplets to form; [1]

    (b) (i) between 40 mm and 50 mm; [1]

    (ii) sum of length of three leaves ÷ no. of leaves

    [1]

    (iii) clear outline + realistic/ proportional;


    veins shown;
    size x2 of average; [3]
    (iv) broad leaves;
    branching/ reticulate veins; [2]

    (c) (i) more chlorophyll in spaced out spinach;


    more photosynthesis can occur;
    darker green;
    less magnesium where seedling grew;
    ref. to competition; [max. 3]
    (ii) shiny/ layer of wax/ cuticle;

    reduces evaporation of water; [2]

    [Total: 20]

    2 (a) increasing height;


    realistic measurement (50 mm to 150 mm); [2]

    (b) limewater turns cloudy/milky;


    gas is carbon dioxide;
    from respiration; [3]

    (c) orientation;
    axis with correct labels and units;
    even scale + large size (at least half of the grid);
    correct plotting of data points;
    joining of points with straight lines; [5]

    (d) distribute/mix the yeast uniformly with glucose;


    to speed up reaction/ increase collisions of particles/contact/surface area; [2]

    (e) less froth produced/less increase in height of mixture; [1]

    (f) different concentrations of glucose;


    two named control variables e. g. temperature/ volume of reactants;;
    measure the volume of froth at a given time; [4]

    (g) using a measuring cylinder/syringe;

    ref. to displacement of water in cylinder/syringe emptied of air;

    connect delivery tube from test-tube to syringe/measuring cylinder;

    wait until no more bubbles are released;

    record the volume of air as plunger is displaced in gas syringe/as water is


    displaced in measuring cylinder; [max. 3]
