(a) (i) 10 minutes (ii) 21 minutes (iii) 30 minutes (b) The results shown in the graph suggest that starch breaks down to maltose. This is because, as the maltose level increases the starch level decreases. When all the starch has gone, no further maltose is made. 3.

16 CELL BIOLOGY Chapter 10 Limiting factors in photosynthesis Activity At point 1 on the graph, light intensity is a limiting factor. As the light intensity increases so does the rate of photosynthesis. At point 2 the light intensity has increased further but the rate of photosynthesis has remained the same. Therefore, at point 2 another factor must be in short supply and is limiting the rate of photosynthesis. 2. (a) Both axes correctly labelled with units. Plotted accurately and connected using a ruler. (b) There is no light energy for photosynthesis. (c) Light intensity is no longer a limiting factor. (d) Temperature carbon dioxide concentration (e) Repeat the experiment and calculate an average. Activity At point 1 on the graph, carbon dioxide concentration is increasing, as is the rate of photosynthesis. This tells us that carbon dioxide concentration is the limiting factor. At point 2 on the graph, the rate of photosynthesis stays the same despite the increasing carbon dioxide concentration. As the plant is being given more carbon dioxide, but the rate of photosynthesis is not increasing, carbon dioxide concentration cannot be the limiting factor. One of the other factors must be in short supply. Activity At point 1 on the graph, temperature is increasing, as is the rate of photosynthesis. This tells us that temperature is the limiting factor. At point 2 on the graph, the rate of photosynthesis is at a maximum or optimum. At point 3, the temperature continues to increase but the rate of photosynthesis decreases. This happens because the enzymes that control photosynthesis have an optimum temperature at which they work best. At temperatures above the optimum, the enzymes start to be denatured and the rate of photosynthesis slows down until it stops completely. 16

17 RESPIRATION Activity Answers will vary but should include the following key points: irrigation systems used to control the amount of water available; artificial lighting used so that the plants can continue growing at night or out of season; carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere around the plant by burning coal or oil stoves; artificial heating used to increase the temperature. 1.

(ii) To stop heat getting into the peas from outside or to stop heat escaping to outside (b) Respiration releases energy in the form of heat. (c) The control shows that it must have been the respiration of the peas which released the heat energy. 2. Type of cell Oxygen used Product(s) All cells Yes Carbon dioxide and water High Yeast and plant cells No Carbon dioxide and alcohol Low Human muscle cells No Lactic acid Low Amount of energy released per molecule of glucose used (high or low) 17

Successfully produce a model of glucose and appreciate that energy is contained in the bonds between the carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. 5. Answers will vary but should cover the difference between respiration in muscle cells using oxygen during moderate exercise and respiration in the absence of oxygen during intense exercise. Activity (a) Answers will vary but should include a sketch graph with title, labelled axes and correctly plotted points that shows respiration increasing as temperature increases over this temperature range. (b) Increasing temperature increases rate of respiration; at high temperatures respiration is slowed/stopped. (c) Respiration is controlled by enzymes, which are affected by temperature. (d) (i) 8 cm 3 CO 2 per hour (ii) 0 cm 3 CO 2 per hour respiration stops 2. Plan could include: (a) Method Set up three flasks each containing the same volume and concentration of yeast suspension. Add 1 g of sugar to one flask, 2 g to the second and 3 g to the third. Put a CO 2 sensor into each flask. Leave at the same temperature for the same length of time. Read CO 2 levels on the sensor. (b) Prediction The more sugar added, the higher the rate of respiration. 18
