    NUTRITION IN PLANTS

    1. a) K- Enzyme , sucrose, invertase

    L- Inhibitor

    b) Additional of sucrose/substance, Addition of enzyme, Optimum

    PH, Removal of products.

    c) Complete with substrate for active site of the enzyme.

    2. a) Split water molecules/photolysis

    b) Glucose

    3. Yellowing of leaves/stunted growth/chlorosis/lack of chlorophyll.

    4. a) i) A and B -more active sites of enzymes available for a large

    number of molecules of substrate. There is increase in rates of

    reaction

    ii) B-C

    - Enzyme/substance are in equilibrium. All active sites are

    occupied hence rate of reaction is constant.

    b) Raising concentration of enzymes

    c) PH, temperature, inhibitors/cofactors.

    5. a) Substances that activate enzymes

    b) Iron/Magnesium/Zinc/Copper.

    6. - Magnesium,

    - Nitrogen

    - Iron

    7. Xylem
    - Transport water to photosynthesizing cells from stem

    - Offer support to the lamina for maximum exposure to sun-light.

    Phloem

    - Transport manufactured food away from the leaf to create high

    concentration gradient.

    8. Takes place in the grana of the chloroplast. Light is absorbed and used to split

    water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen, photolysis. Energy is formed and

    is stored in form of ATP.

    9. a) i) Light stage-grana

    ii) Dark stage-stroma

    b) -Uses the energy formed or produced during light stage.

    -Uses the hydrogen ions produced in light stage for carbon dioxide

    fixation.

    10. i) Cuticle -Transparent allowing light to penetrate.

    ii) Veins –Xylem vessel transport water to the photosynthesizing

    cells as it is a raw material

    Phloem - Transport manufactured food out of the leaf to create

    high concentration gradient.

    11. a) To hydrolyse/break down the disaccharide (non-reducing sugar).

    b) Non-reducing sugar

    c) i) Condensation,

    ii) Hydrolysis

    d) i) Starch,
    ii) Glycogen

    12. i) Fatty acids and glycerol

    ii) Form part of the cell membrane

    - Provide insulation of bodies of animals

    - A source of metabolic water.

    - Provide energy in absence of carbohydrates

    13. a) L - Blue-black

    M -Yellow

    N - Blue Black

    b) Absorb carbon (IV) oxide in the jar.
