1(c)

Q: Ptotect and maintain the shape of a cell                   
R: Regulates the movement of substances in and out of the cell
S: Controls all cell activities               
1
1
1
1(d)
Both have Nucleus//Cytoplasm// Cell Membrane
1
2(a)(i)
Organism B
1
2(a)(ii)
Because it makes its own food.
1
2(b)(i)
Four// 4

2(b)(ii)

Paddy plant         Grasshopper        Lizard         Eagle //
Paddy plant        Rat        Snake        Eagle //
Paddy plant         Rat        Eagle //
Paddy plant          Rabbit         Eagle
1

2(c)
The other animals in the food chain will starve and reduce in numbers
1
2(d)
There will  be a decrease in the paddy population//
There will be an increased in snake population
1
2(e)
The sun
1
3(a)
1
3(b)
Phloem tissue
1
3(c)
v  The removal of phloem cells/tissues stop manufactured food from moving downwards thus food accumulates in the region above the ring//
v  The manufactured/synthesized food is unable to move downwards thus food substances accumulate in the regions above the ring.
(any one answer)                                                                          
1

3(d)
   
1
3(e)
Phloem tissues/ cells transport manufactured(synthesized) food from the leaves to the stem and roots//
Phloem tissues/ cells transport manufactured(synthesized) food from the leaves to all parts of the plants
1

4(a)
P: Solid
Q:Gas
R:Liquid
4
4(b)
P:Arrangement of particles are compact and orderly // closely packed // particles vibrate in their respective positions

Q:Arrangement of particles are very loose and disorderly // particles move randomly //particles move fast // particles move freely

1
4(c)
Any suitable answers: Oxygen ; Carbon dioxide ; Nitrogen, etc
1
4(d)
By heating
1
5(a)(i)

3

5(a)(ii)
Broom, Ice tongs, fishing rod, human arm
2
5(b)(i)
120 × 1 = effort × 2
Effort = 60 N
2
5(b)(ii)
Effort less than 60N
1
6(a)(i)
P : Binary fission   Q : Budding
2
6(a)(ii)
Hydra, starfish, etc
1
6(b)
Asexual reproduction// It does not involve gametes
2
6(c)
A new organism can be produced from only one parent.
1
7(a)
Fractional Distillation of Petroleum
1
7(b)(i)
The higher the boiling point of a fraction, the darker its colour
1
7(b)(ii)
P:Petrol
Q:Kerosene
R:Diesel
S:Lubricating oil
4
7(c)(i)
Fuel for motor vehicles
1
7(c)(ii)
Because P is a non-renewable form of energy
1
8(a)(i)
(Shirt in) Situation A takes a shorter time to dry compared to the (shirt in) Situation B//
(Shirt in) Situation A dries faster than (shirt in) Situation B//
(Shirt in) Situation B takes a longer time to dry//
compared to (shirt in) Situation A//
(Shirt in) Situation B dries slower than (shirt in) Situation A//
(Shirt in) Situation A takes a shorter time to dry compared to the (shirt in) Situation B//
(Shirt in) Situation A dries faster than (shirt in) Situation B
1
8(a)(ii)
Black shirt absorbs heat better/faster than white shirt//
White shirt absorbs heat slower than black shirt//
Absorption of heat depends on the colour of the shirt
1
8(a)(iii)
Black shirt absorbs heat better than white shirt//
 Black surface absorbs heat better than white surface//
The darker the colour, the faster the shirt dries//
  The darker the surface, the faster it absorbs heat
1
8(b)(i)

P
Q
Final temperature (oC)
35 oC
32 oC
Rise in temperature (oC)
7 oC
4 oC

1

1
8(b)(ii)
2
8(b)(iii)
The rise in temperature in P is higher than Q//
The rise in temperature in P and Q are different
1
8(b)(iv)
The darker the surface, the higher the rate of heat absorption
A dark/black coloured surface absorbs heat faster than a light/white coloured surface
1
8(c)
Type of surface
Rise in temperature//Final reading of thermometer
Distance of flask from Bunsen burner//Size of flask
