1. Fernando wanted to find out how wind affected transpiration (water loss) from a leafy
shoot. To do this Fernando had to set up a potometer.
The apparatus he used to set up his potometer is shown below.
(a) Complete the table below to identify the letter that labels each piece of apparatus. The
first one has been done for you.

(b) Fernando used the apparatus to make his potometer. He filled the rubber tube, the
beaker and the glass tube with water. The stem of a plant was attached to the rubber
tube. One end of the glass tube was attached to the rubber tube and the other end was
put into the water in the beaker. He then put an air bubble in the water inside the glass
tube.
Fernando wanted to estimate transpiration by measuring how far the bubble moved in
an hour. To help him to do this he used the elastic band to attach the ruler to the glass
tube.
Fernando made a drawing of his potometer as shown below. The drawing is not
finished.

2. Nicola investigated the digestion of lactose, a sugar found in milk.
The diagram shows the apparatus she used.
The beads contained an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme digests lactose into two
sugars called glucose and galactose.
The outer coat of the beads allows milk to enter and sugars to leave. The outer coat also
prevents the enzyme from leaving.
An experiment was carried out in which milk was allowed to flow through the apparatus
at different speeds. The speed of flow was changed using the clamp on the exit tube.
The milk collected in the beaker was tested for the concentration of glucose it contained
at each flow speed. The table shows the results.

3. The diagrams show a male and a female fruit fly.
Male Female
John carried out a breeding investigation using these fruit flies. He placed a male and
a female fly in a tube containing some food (a food tube) and allowed them to breed.
The food tube he used is shown in the diagram.
(a) The flies produced 60 offspring as shown on the next page.
Count the number of male and female offspring and use a tally system to write your
answers in the table below.

(i) Draw a genetic diagram to show why he expected to get equal numbers of males
and females. Use your knowledge of how sex is inherited in humans to help
you.

4. The energy released by cell respiration is trapped in a molecule called ATP.
Verity wanted to find out how a solution of ATP affected the contraction (shortening) of
muscle tissue.
She placed a long strip of muscle tissue on a glass microscope slide.
She then added a solution of ATP.
The diagram shows the result of Verity’s experiment.
She used the formula below to calculate the percentage change in length that had taken
place.
% change in length =
length of muscle tissue before ATP addded
length of muscle tissue after ATP added
