Q

scientists investigated the movement of iron ions (Fe3+) from the soil to old and young leaves of heat-treated barley plants and to leaves of plants that were not heat treated.

heat treatment was applied half way up to the leaves. the scientists determined the concentration of Fe3+ in the top and lower halves of the leaves of each plant.

Figure showed old leaf being similar in both heat treatment and untreated showed young leaf having lower ratio in treated than untreated.

what can you conclude about the movement of Fe3+ in barley plants?

A
  • heat treatment has greater effect on young leaves than old
  • heat treatment damages phloem
  • Fe3+ moves up leaf
  • Fe3+ transported in xylem in older leaf
  • in young leaf, some in xylem, as some still reaches top part of leaf
  • all ratios show there is less Fe3+ in old leaves than yong
  • no statistical test to show significant difference

Q

doctors concluded that measuring the amount of 14C in the carbon dioxide in the breath after 3 hours was a better way of diagnosing lactose deficiency than the lactose intolerance test

do you agree

A
  • clear difference
  • between lactose deficient and IBS group
  • as SDs dont overlap

Q
A
  • greater rate of oxygen consumption - greater rate of resp - greater rate of uptake
  • oxygen needed for resp
  • respiration produces ATP
  • K+ uptaken by active transport which needs ATP

Q

explain results of A and B

A

Q

describe what is meant by a malignant tumour

A
  • mass of undifferentiated totipotent cells
  • uncontrolled cell division
  • metastasis
20
Q

give one reason for the change in death ratae from malignant skin tumours with increasing age

A

immune system weaker

21
Q

data for fair skinned and dark skinned people were collected differently

explain why skin colour was a factor likely to affect death rate

A

melanin prevents burning

  • less cancer risk
22
Q

what stimulates spiracles to open

A

increasing CO2 conc

23
Q

explain what causes oxygen conc in trachea to fall when spiracles are closed

explain difference between curve B and C

A
  • with comp inhib - enzyme sub collisions still inc
