Able to explain the respiration in the root cells

of rice plant. Sample answer:
The plant carry out anaerobic
respiration glucose is broken
down
in the absence of oxygen to
release energy produces ethanol,
CO2 (and energy)
cells in the roots of rice plants are extremely
tolerant of ethanol Many of the roots are very
shallow
the roots use the oxygen which diffuses into the
water surface. Rice stem contain a large number
Able to explain the relationship between the rate of
photosynthesis and the rate of respiration at points P, Q,
R and S.
Sample
answer: At
P:
In the dark / low light (intensity), only
respiration occurs hence large quantity of
CO2 is produced/released
As light (intensity) increases the quantity of CO2
/ produce decreases
because part of CO2 produced during respiration
is used for photosynthesis
sugar used in respiration more rapidly than it is
produced in photosynthesis

At Q:
(At this point of light inensity) all the CO2 release
from respiration is reused / equivalent to CO2 used
up during photosynthesis // no net gain or loss in
CO2 / sugar produced
rate of photosynthesis is equal to the rate
of respiration this point is called
compensation point
net gaseous exchange is zero

At R:
as light intensity increases, the rate of photosynthesis
become faster than / exceed the rate of respiration
the CO2 needed is obtained from the atmosphere
(at the same time) excess O2 is releases (into the
atmosphere)

Able to make one logical inference for each observation
based on the criteria: Light intensity // Degree of brightness
Rate / degree of growth // Favourable condition for growth

Sample answers:
1. The higher the light intensity, the lower the rate of growth of
Mucor sp. / bread mould / fungus / microorganism.
2. The less lighted the area, the more suitable for the
growth of Mucor sp. 3. The growth of Mucor sp. is the best
in a dark place.
Able to make one logical inference for any one
observation. or
Able to make one logical and incomplete inference base on
one criterion for each observation.
Sample answers for incomplete inferences:
1. Light intensity affects the growth of
Mucor sp. 2. The Mucor sp. grows in a
darker place.
Able to make an idea of inference with one criterion.
Sample answers:
1. The growth of fungus is different on the bread.
2. The growth of fungus depends on the number of bulbs.
