Q2 MARKING SHEME 1
(SPM 2006)Topic 3.3: Movement of substances across the plasma membrane
Objective : To determine the concentration of sucrose solution which is isotonic to the cell sap ofthe spinach. [tick 1]
Problem statement: [SPS 12-01: 3 Marks] : [ tick 2]
Does the length of cylindrical strips spinach remain unchanged when the cylindrical strips areimmersed into the sucrose solution which is isotonic to the spinach tissue?
Variables: [ tick 3]Manipulated variable: sucrose solution concentrationResponding variable: the final length of cylindrical strips of mangoesFixed variable: initial length of cylindrical strips of mangoes // volume of sucrose
solution
Hypothesis: [SPS 12-02 : 3 Marks] : [tick 4]
The length of cylindrical strips spinachs remain unchanged when the cylindrical strips are immersedinto the sucrose solution which is isotonic to the spinach tissue.
Materials /Apparatus : [SPS 12-05 : 3 Marks] : [tick 5]
Cork borer, scalpel, test tube, stop watch, beaker and rulerspinach, sucrose solution (0.1M,0.2M,0.3M,0.4M,0.5M), distilled water, filter paper
Technique: [SPS 12-B1 : 1 Mark] : [tick 6]measure the final length of cylindrical strips of mangoes using a ruler
Working procedures: [SPS 12-04 : 3 Marks] [ tick 7]
1. Label six test tubes with P,Q,R,S,T and U.2. Fill in 5 ml distilled water in test tube P, 5 ml 0.1M sucrose solution in test tube Q, 5 ml 0.2 M
sucrose solution in test tube R, 5 ml 0.3M sucrose solution in test tube S, 5 ml 0.4 M sucrosesolution in test tube T and 5 ml 0.5 M sucrose solution in test tube U.
3. Cut the spinach stem into 4 strips to get 5.0 mm in length.4. Repeat step 3 & 4 to get another five spinachl strips of the same length.5. Wipe dry each spinach strip with filter paper.6. Put each cylindrical strip into each test tube for about 40 minutes.7. After 40 minutes ,take out the spinach strip from each test tube and place it on a piece of filter
paper to wipe it dry.8. Measure the final length of each spinach strip and record the reading in the table.9. Plot a graph of the percentage difference in length against the concentration pf the sucrose
solution to determine the concentration of sucrose solution which is isotonic to the cell sapof the spinach.
