A level Biology: Post your doubts here!

for 26 if u see both 2 and 4 r going thru plasmolysis
which means they ve less water potential thus water moves frm cell 1 into cell 2 and 4

thanks.. what do you think about the other 2? they are really confusing me

Q5:
Enzymes are proteins. How are proteins produced?
Made in the ribosome, enter the endoplasmic reticulum, vesicle buds off, goes and joins Golgi apparatus!
It's C obviously

Q26: 2 and 4 are plasmolysed, they have low water potential... So C and D are negated. B is also negated because it mentions 1 to 3, which cannot be possible. Why not?
Because C has a much larger vacuole. Large vacuole = more water potential. So your answer is A!

Q29: Dilation and contraction of the arterioles are only done by the smooth muscle. Collagen is there for strength I think. Elastin is just for recoil to stabilize the pressure.
So D!

It seems you think this can cause heart failure:
"deposits of fatty material in arteries and veins"
From my book:
Heart failure happens due to the blockage of a main coronary artery and the resulting gradual damage to the heart muscle. The heart weakens and fails to pump efficiently.

As you can see, the main coronary artery has to be blocked for a heart failure. Even if we consider "arteries" to possibly refer to the coronary artery, the fact that "vein" has been included means this option is wrong.

Q30:

All energy made in the ecosystem comes from photosynthesis. The energy that the plant lost, kept, used, etc. ALL originally came from its photosynthesis. Therefore:
Energy from photosynthesis: 27,000 + 3000 = 30,000
Energy from Sun = 1,000,000
Percentage = 30,000/1,000,000*100%=3%

somebody plz!
Option D is correct.. but doesn't this imply secondary struc contains ionic bond

Please explain

A, because active transport is affected by the number of carrier proteins in the phospholipid bilayer.
The rest of them like diffusion and osmosis are affected by fluidity of the membrane, as this determines how well molecules can exit or enter. Endocytosis is also about entry of molecules through the bilayer, so is affected by fluidity.

Your immunity notes say:

Types of immunity ACTIVE and PASSIVE

Active natural- by antibodies passing through placenta

Active artificial- following injection of antibodies in serum

Passive natural- reaction in the body to infection

Passive artificial- reaction following vaccination

You mixed up the passive with active I think. Replace all active with passive and all active with passive and it should be correct

Also,

What is the sequence of events that describes the action of a phagocyte when a pathogen is encountered?

Endocytosis → digestion by lysosome enzymes → phagocytic vacuole formation →exocytosis

I think the phagocytic vacuole formation should be before digestion by lysosomal enzymes...

D. The graph shows percentage of smokers every year. However, every year population is also increasing. So if at beginning around 80% are smokers then later 32% are smokers it might seem okay to conclude that the number of men who were smokers decreased by 60%, but this cannot be true, since population has changed, option D actually states "number of men" so it cannot be true.

 

[nehaoscar]

is the answer A?

Yes!
