Examiners should also refer to the infmation in the Marking Guidance and apply a best-fit approach to the marking. 0 marks No relevant content. Level ( marks) There is a description of pathogens with errs roles confused. the immune response with errs roles confused. Level (3 4 marks) There is a description of pathogens and the immune response with some Page

3 F me awesome GCSE and A level resources, visit us at errs confusion a clear description of either pathogens the immune response with few errs little confusion. Level 3 (5 6 marks) There is a good description of pathogens and the immune response with very few errs omissions. Examples of biology points made in the response: bacteria and viruses are pathogens credit any ref to bacteria and viruses they reproduce rapidly inside the body bacteria may produce poisons / toxins (that make us feel ill) viruses live (and reproduce) inside cells (causing damage). white blood cells help to defend against pathogens by: ingesting pathogens / bacteria / (cells containing) viruses credit engulf / digest / phagocytosis to destroy (particular) pathogen / bacteria / viruses producing antibodies to destroy particular / specific pathogens producing antitoxins to counteract toxins (released by pathogens) credit memy cells / crect description this leads to immunity from that pathogen. 6 [] M.(a) Marks awarded f this answer will be determined by the Quality of Communication (QC) as well as the standard of the scientific response. Examiners should also refer to the infmation in the Marking guidance and apply a best-fit approach to the marking. 0 marks No relevant content. Level ( marks) The method described is weak and could not be used to collect valid results, however does show some understanding of the sequence of an investigation. Level (3 4 marks) The method described could be followed and would enable some valid results to be collected, but lacks detail. Page 3

4 F me awesome GCSE and A level resources, visit us at Level 3 (5 6 marks) The method described could be easily followed and would enable valid results to be collected. Examples of the points made in the response: bean seedlings of same age cut material from same part of each gan (f repeats) e.g. top cm of stem / a whole cotyledon / seed equal mass of each gan accept weight f mass grind / homogenise in equal amounts of water / buffer equal volumes of hydrogen peroxide solution equal concentrations of hydrogen peroxide solution same temperature temperature maintained in water bath quantitative measure of gas production eg height of foam in mm / collect gas in graduated syringe in cm 3 f same time period repetitions (3+ times) calculate mean f each. 6 (b) (i) crect answer: 40 mark f 45 as the anomalous result has been included in the calculation mark f vertical axis crectly labelled: Enzyme activity in arbitrary units allow ecf from (b)(i) points plotted crectly ± mm deduct mark f each increct plot suitable line of best fit not feathery, not point to point (iii) 6.0 / 6 Page 4

Examiners should also refer to the infmation in the Marking Guidance and apply a best-fit approach to the marking. 0 marks No relevant content Level ( marks) There is a description of at least one advantage of the cow tissue valve a description of at least one disadvantage of the cow tissue valve. Level (3 4 marks) There is a description of at least one advantage of the cow tissue valve and at least one disadvantage of the cow tissue valve. Level 3 (5 6 marks) There is a description of the advantages and disadvantages of the cow tissue valve a description of several advantages of the cow tissue valve and at least one disadvantage. Examples of the points made in the response Advantages of cow tissue valve: abundant supply of cows so shter waiting time igne can take many years to find a suitable human don no need f tissue typing quicker operation less invasive shter recovery time cheaper operation costs less operation / anaesthetic risks. Disadvantages of cow tissue valve: made from cow so possible objections on religious grounds igne ethical arguments new procedure so could be unknown risks allow possible transfer of disease from cow risks of using a stent eg. blood clots, stent breaking valve tearing Page 7
