Become firmer.
Distilled water is hypotonic to sucrose solution. Water molecules move into the visking tubing through osmosis. The increase in content in visking tubing makes it firmer.

Allows only certain molecules (smaller molecules) to pass through it.

There will be glucose molecules in distilled water. 
2 ml distilled water is added with 1 ml of Benedict’s solution and heated. A red precipitate shows the presence of glucose.

2(d)
Glucose molecules are smaller in size than the pores in visking tubing. Hence glucose molecules diffuse out from visking tubing due to the concentration gradient.

Plasmolysis
0.5 M sucrose solution is hypertonic compared to the cell sap of a potato. Due to this, the water molecules from the potato cell diffuse out by osmosis.

3(e)(i)
3(e)(ii)
Turgid/ smooth
0.1 M sucrose solution is hypotonic compared to the cell sap of a potato. Due to this, the water molecules diffuse into the potato cell and cause it to become turgid.

The substrate is represented by the key while the enzyme is represented by the lock. Only one key will be fit into the lock and open it.

4(d)
Excessive heat denatures the protein causing the configuration to change. Therefore, the substrate molecules are not fit into the active site.

4(e)(ii)
Soap contain enzyme which act on stains. Enzymes are most active in a temperature range 350C-400C. Enzyme is inactive at low temperature whereas they will be denatured at high temperature.

Hydrolysis of protein by the enzyme pepsin

5(c)(i)
5(c)(ii)
The digestion is incomplete
Pepsin needs an acidic medium (pH 2- pH 3) for it to act. Content of the test tube Q is in neutral condition. The contents remains murky because there is no/ incomplete digestion.

5(d)
370C is the optimum temperature for pepsin to act
2
5(e)
Contents in the test tube S remain murky because there is no digestion. 40C is not suitable temperature for pepsin to act. Contents in test tube R turns to clear because there is digestion. 370C and acidic medium are suitable condition for pepsin to act.

Osmosis
Active transport
Does not require energy
Requires energy
Movement of water molecules
Movement of mineral salts molecules
Across semi-permeable membrane
Across membrane of living cell
Takes place when there is difference in concentration
Takes place according to the needs of the cells
Does not involve carrier protein
Requires carrier protein
The rate of reaction depends on the difference in concentration
The rate of reaction depends on temperature, the needs of the cells and the concentration of oxygen
Equilibrium obtained between two solutions
Substances accumulate and removed from the cells

Aim : To investigate the effects of isotonic , hypotonic and hypertonic solutions on  red blood cells
Problem statement:
What are the effects of isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions on red blood cells?// Does  isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic solutions effects the red blood cells?              
Hypothesis:
When red blood cells immersed in a hypotonic solution, the cells will expand and lyses.
When red blood cells immersed in a hypertonic solution, the cells become shrink
When red blood cells immersed in an isotonic solution, there is no change to the cell
Apparatus & materials                                                                 
Apparatus (4A)
Materials (4M)
Microscope, microscope slides, cover slips, dropper, small test tube, beaker
fresh blood of chicken, salt solution 0.15M, salt solution 0.5M, distilled water and filter paper
                                                           1m: any 3A & 3M
Procedure
1.  Four slides are prepared and labelled A, B, C and D (√)
2.  A drop of blood is dropped onto slide A and the shape of the red blood cells is observed under a microscope (√)
3.  A drop of distilled water is dropped onto slide B. Cover the slide with cover slip. Add a drop of blood by the side of cover subsequently and the slide is observed under a microscope (√)
4.  Step 1 to 3 are repeated for slide C and D by using salt, solution 0.15M and 0.5M (√)
4 (√) = 2m, 3 (√)= 1m, 2(√)= 1m
Presenting data/ Observation                                                  
Slide
Blood and medium
Observation
A
Blood
Red blood cells are normal
B
Blood + distilled water
Red blood cells lyse (haemolysis)
C
Blood + salt solution 0.15M
Red blood cells are normal
D
Blood + salt solution 0.5M
Red blood cells shrinks (crenation)

Conclusion:
Distilled water is hypotonic to red blood cells (slide C)
Salt solution 0.15M is hypotonic to cytoplasm of red blood cells.
Salt solution 0.5M is hypertonic to cytoplasm of red blood cells.

2(a)(i)
Correct diagram and label
Cell wall
-It maintains the shape of the plant cell
-It protects and gives mechanical strength to the cell
Cytoplasm
-It is a jelly-like medium which stores the organelles of the cell
-It acts as a medium where chemical processes occur in the cell
Vacuole
-It is a fluid-filled space which stores sugars, amino acids and mineral salts
-It support herbaceous plants by giving turgid pressure
Nucleus
-It controls and regulates all the activities of the cell
-It contains genetic material
Plasma membrane
-It controls the substances entering or leaving the cell
-It separates the contents of the cell from its external environment
Chloroplast
-It contains the pigment chlorophyll which makes the leaves green
-It acts as a site for photosynthesis

Max:10
2(a)(ii)
Chloroplast. It acts as a site for photosynthesis

3(b)(i)
J The fertilizer dissolves and forms ions in the soil water
J The concentration of mineral ions is usually higher in the soil than in the cell, so mineral ions diffuse into the root hairs
J Sometimes, the concentration of minerals ions is higher in the cell than in the soil water but the cell still needs more mineral salts
J The cell thus absorbs the ions through active transport
Max: 3
3(b)(ii)
J When too much fertilizer is applied, the soil water becomes more concentrated than the cell sap
J Water diffuses out of the cell by osmosis
J Excessive loss of water causes the plant to wilt
J If the condition continues, the plant will then die
