11. An experiment was carried out to investigate the movement of water molecules
through a partially permeable membrane. A partially permeable membrane separates
the beaker into two equal halves. Solutions X and Y were poured into the two
different halves of the beaker. Solution X contains 10% sucrose while solution Y
contains 20% sucrose. The levels of the solutions after 2 hours are shown in the
diagram below.

(a) Indicate which half of the beaker contains X (10% sucrose) and which half
contains Y (20% sucrose) respectively. [1]

(b) State the changes in water potential and sucrose concentration of X and Y after
2 hours. [2]

X Y
Water potential
Sucrose concentration

(c) (i) State the concentrations of sucrose in solutions X and Y after 2 hours: [2]
X:
Y:

(ii) In the diagram below, indicate the liquid levels of X and Y after 2 hours if a
fully permeable membrane was used. [2]

(iii) Explain your answers in (b) (i) and (ii). [2]

12. (a) What is active transport? [1]

(b) The diagram above shows a root hair cell. Root hair cells absorb water and mineral
salts from the soil via diffusion and active transport. Explain how the root hair
cell is adapted to perform the functions mentioned. [2]

13. In an experiment, iodine was added into a semi-permeable


Visking tubing while starch was added into a boiling tube.

starch
After some time, the solution in the boiling tube turned blue black while the solution in
the visking tubing remained brown. Explain the observation. (Note: Iodine changes
colour from brown to blue black in the presence of starch.) [3]
