Question 2 (IB)

The following experiment was designed and undertaken by a Year 11 student.

Purpose — To investigate the effect of sunlight on green plants.

Hypothesis — Green plants need sunlight to survive.

Procedure — The student obtained two seedlings of the same species.

The student then:

• labelled two same-sized pots “Plant 1” and “Plant 2”

• potted the seedlings using a commercial potting mix, but ran out of potting mix for Plant 2 and topped it up with some soil from the school garden

• gave both plants 100 mL of water

• placed Plant 1 on the windowsill with plenty of exposure to sunlight and put Plant 2 in a dark cupboard to ensure it had no access to sunlight.

The student watered Plant 1 every two days for a period of two weeks but forgot about Plant 2, which was out of sight in the cupboard. At the end of the two week period, Plant 1 was thriving but Plant 2 was dead.

The student wrote the following conclusion:

Plant 2 was not exposed to sunlight until it died. The plant must have died due to lack of sunlight. The hypothesis that “green plants need sunlight to survive” is supported by the results of this experiment.

Evaluate the design of the experiment and propose refinements so that it more accurately and reliably tests the hypothesis.

Question 3 (UB)

Occasionally a baby is born with a very serious congenital condition of the heart called tetralogy of Fallot.

There are four separate abnormalities in this condition:

• the aorta comes primarily or completely out of the right ventricle instead of the left

• the pulmonary artery is very narrow and allows very little blood to pass to the lungs

• the muscular wall between the right and left sides of the heart is incomplete, so the blood in the left and right ventricles is not kept separate

• the right ventricle is greatly enlarged.

a. Label the aorta, pulmonary artery and right ventricle on the diagram.

b. Describe how a narrow pulmonary artery would affect the volume of blood travelling to the lungs.

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

c. How does the position of the aorta affect the oxygen content of the blood travelling to the body from the heart? Give reasons for your response.

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

d. In this condition, is the hole between the ventricles an advantage or disadvantage? Give reasons for your response, considering all abnormalities.

e. What physical symptoms would appear in a baby who was suffering from this condition, and why?

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

Question 4 (UB)

During bacterial infection, degenerating tissues and the bacteria themselves release proteins called pyrogens which change the set point of the “thermostat” in the brain from around 37 °C (normal body temperature) to, for example, 40 °C. The body carries out the regulatory changes necessary to raise and maintain normal body temperature at this new set point of 40 °C.

A crisis point is said to have been passed when the production of pyrogens decreases and allows the brain thermostat to return to its normal set point of 37 °C; the body now interprets the temperature of 40 °C as being too hot. This situation is represented graphically below.

Decide if each statement below is true or false. Give reasons for your decision.

a. Blood vessels in the skin would dilate between 8 and 35 hours.

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

..........................................................................................................

b. At 42 hours, when the body temperature is about 39 °C, the person would be sweating.
