(a) Fig. 1.1 shows two cubes that represent a large and a small multicellular plant. Fig. 1.1 Large multicellular plant Small multicellular plant Length = 2cm Width = 2 cm Depth = 2cm Surface area : volume = 6:1 (i) Using the data provided in Fig. 1.1, calculate the surface area : volume of the large multicellular plant. Surface area: volume = ..........................................................[2] (ii) Explain why a large multicellular plant needs a transport system but a sm...

AQA A LEVEL BIOLOGY Paper 1 2024 What is the function of the cell membrane? - ANS To control what enters and leaves the cell, acts as a barrier between the cell and its environment. What structural feature of the cell membrane allows substances to enter/leave? - ANS Partially permeable What is the fluid mosaic model? - ANS States that a membrane is a fluid structure (because phospholipids are constantly moving) with a "mosaic" of various proteins embedded in it Describe the...

What is meant by a store and a flow? - A store is where water is held for varying amounts of 'residence' time. A flow is the movement of water between stores Identify the three largest stores in size order - 1. The oceans 2. Icecaps and glaciers 3. Groundwater Which two water stores are non-renewable, and why? - 1. Fossil water: old, deep groundwater from former wetter periods 2. Losses from the cryosphere: melting of ice as a result of global warming Distinguish between blue and green...

What are the components of the biosphere? - Answer-Atmosphere (air), Lithosphere (land), Hydrosphere (water) Describe the atmosphere composition - Answer-Most of the atmosphere is made up of Nitrogen - 78.084% and Oxygen - 20.95%. Water makes up between 1%-4%. Describe the flow of Solar Energy through Photosynthesis - Answer-6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy ---> 602 + C6H12O6. Describe the flow of Solar Energy through Cellular Respiration - Answer-C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6C02 + 6H20 + heat e...

First Law of Thermodynamics correct answers energy is neither created nor destroyed, may be converted from one form to another. Second Law of Thermodynamics correct answers when energy is changed from one form to another, some useful energy is degraded into lower quality energy (usually heat). Energy correct answers the ability to do work. Units of energy: joules, calories, kilocalories, British thermal units (BTUs), Kilowatt-hours (kWh) Power correct answers the rate of doing work (wor...

Field Capacity (FC) - ANSWER The amount of water retained in soil after it has been saturated and allowed to drain freely for two or three days. At field capacity, the forces holding water to soil particles are approximately equal to the downward forces of gravitational pull. What is the name of the process where water is lost through the leaves? - ANSWER Transpiration How does soil affect infiltration rate? - ANSWER Hard, clay-laden soil will drain poorly; Soft, sandy soil will drain qui...
