What effect is the growth in the number of
people having on the earth and its resources? (9)
Population increasing is affecting the environment more and more. Burning of fossil fuels for electricity and transport, leading to global
warming and acid rain. Deforestation for the building of roads, houses, factories and farms.
We did quarries for metal ores and building material destroying
habitats and killing animals and plants. As we use raw materials they run out and things like oil and metals
are non-renewable.
As population increases so does waste.
Body waste, packaging and other waste all need to be disposed of.
This uses land.
Sewage, fertilisers from farms and toxic chemicals from industrypollutes rivers.
Land becomes polluted with toxic chemicals, pesticides herbicides
and heavy metals.

What are the effects of acid rain
on living organisms? (4)
Acid rain kills trees and plants
Makes lakes acidic and kills aquatic plants and fish.
Pollution can be blown hundreds of miles from where
they are made and affect living organisms over a largearea.

Define an SSSI and explain why
they are important (4)
Site of Special Scientific Interest
Areas where rare plants or animals live or spend time.
Large biodiversity.
Areas that are highlighted for protection.

Explain how fossils formed and how they are
used for evidence of evolution. (4)
Most fossils are formed when the hard parts of an animal
are replaced by minerals.
Animals and plants may also become preserved and do
not decay.
Footprints and droppings can also be fossilised.
Fossils collected from different ages rocks can show the
evolution of a species horse fossil record is almost
complete.

Explain with examples the theories of
evolution and how they came about. (8)
Creationism pre 18th century, god created the earth.
Charles Darwin travelled to the Galapagos islands on HMS Beagle
in 1831.
Discovered a species of finch that had adapted to the different food
sources available. Darwin said that evolution came about through natural selection.
Those animals that could not adapt would become extinct dodo.
Lamarck thought evolution happened by acquired characteristics.
He thought that if an animal used a body part, it would get bigger,
and that this bigger organ would be passed on to its offspring.
Lamarck called his theory the fountain of life.

Using a detailed example explain how
natural selection takes place (4)
Peppered moths
300 years ago most peppered moths were light in colour.
The industrial revolution and the pollution this caused meant only
the more rare dark moths could survive and breed.
The areas of the country with high levels of pollution therefore had ahigh population of dark moths.
Oysters
In 1915 oysters in Malpeque Bay in Canada were attacked by a
disease.
A few of the oysters mutated to form a resistance to the disease and
survived, natural selection.

Explain with examples what extinction is & the factors
that can cause a species to become extinct. (7)
Extinction is where all members of a species are lost from the Earth.
A new predator in an area can wipe out a prey.
This new predator may be an old one that has evolved or one that
has moved into the area.
The brown tree snake from Australia was taken to Guam in WW2.
By 1960s many of the birds in Guam were extinct.
A new disease Bird flu.
Competition, increased demand for resources. In England most squirrels were brown. When the more aggressive
grey squirrel was introduced from America it started to drive the red
squirrel out.

Charles Darwin was the first person to describe
natural selection as survival of the fittest, explain
how plants and animals ensure their survival (6)
Animals and plants produce more offspring than the environment
can support to ensure some survive.
Fruit flies produce 200 offspring every two weeks. One poppy plant
produces 15,000 seeds.
The individuals in a species show lots of variation. This is because
of differences in genes they inherit.
Camouflage
Good hearing and sight
Animals with the best adaptations survive and pass on their genes.

Explain, using examples how animals are
adapted to living in cold conditions (5)
Thick layer of fur to insulate the body Polar bear.
Layer of blubber around the body to reduce heat loss
and act as a food store Seal.
Moving around to share body heat Penguins. Small ears to reduce the surface area for heat loss
Polar bear.

Identify and explain the 3 factors
that plants compete for in order to survive. (6)
Light for photosynthesis to make food.
Water for photosynthesis and support of the plant.
Nutrients in the soil to make the chemicals they need.
-

11/26
Explain how plants adapt to deal with
competition from other plants (4)
In woods smaller plants flower first before the trees grow
leaves so they can get light.
Some plants have shallower or deeper roots than others
to get water and nutrients.
Plants may grow higher or have larger leaves to catch
the sunlight.
Spread seeds over a large area through wind dispersion,
animal dispersion or explosion.

Describe using examples how seeds are adapted
to ensure they are spread over a large area (8)
Wind dispersed:
Small and light
Have parachutes dandelion clock
Winged seeds sycamore
Explosion dispersed:
Some have pods which burst throwing the seeds out - Geranium
Animal dispersed:
Fruit that animals eat and pass through the animal. Hooks which stick to the fur or feathers - Burdock

Explain how fusion cell cloning takes place to
produce a clone like Dolly the Sheep (6)
Adult udder cell taken from sheep A and the nucleus isremoved.
Mature ovum is removed from sheep B and is emptied.
A mild electric shock fuses the nucleus from sheep A
with the ovum from sheep B. This starts to divide to produce an embryo.
The embryo is implanted into the uterus of sheep C.
Lamb born is a clone of sheep A.

Gene for insulin production is identified in the human chromosome.
The gene is cut out with an enzyme.
The plasmid from a bacteria is cut with the enzyme.
The gene is inserted into the plasmid.
The plasmid is put back into a bacteria.
The bacteria multiplies making more bacteria with the insulin gene.
The bacteria produce and excrete human insulin.
Describe the stages in genetic engineering where
insulin is produced. (7)

What are the two main types of reproduction
Give an example of each and a good and
bad point for each (8)
Sexual reproduction
humans
good point results in variation
bad point need more than one individual
Asexual reproduction
strawberry plant
good point quick reproduction
bad point no variation so species doesnt improve (apart
from random mutation).

How are plants adapted for dry conditions? (5)
Spines instead of leaves to reduced water loss.
Large root system to increase area for water uptake.
Waxy cuticle to reduce water loss.
Stomata pores folded into leaves to reduce water loss.
Succulent can stores lots of water in stem. Total = 5

What are the causes of acid rain and how are we
trying to deal with the problem (12)
Burning fossil fuelsThese contain sulphur and nitrogen
These are released as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides when the fuels
are burnt.
These go into the air and dissolve in rain water forming sulphuric acidand nitric acid and fall as acid rain.
Solutions:
Cars are fitted with catalytic converters
Chimneys have filters
Low sulphur coal is being used.
Lime is put into lakes to neutralise acid.

Describe with two problems, how global
warming is occurring (13)
The earth has an atmosphere of transparent gases.
The light from the sun travels through these gases to the earth.
This warms the earth and then leaves the earth as heat.
The atmosphere traps some of this heat stopping it escaping.
This keeps the earth warm.
Human activity produces carbon dioxide gas and methane.
These gases are making the atmosphere thicker so more heat is being
trapped in.
The earths temperature is increasing.
Ice caps are melting and sea level rising resulting in flooding of land.
Deserts are expanding.

What 2 things need to be balanced for sustainable
development. Give ways this can be done. (10)
Human progress and environmental stability.
Using animal waste as fertiliser rather than chemicals
Replanting hedgerows to protect fields from erosion and to increase
animal habitats.
Replacing trees that are cut down.
Recycling materials.
Managing fish stocks.
Conserving resources.Reducing energy loss from buildings.
Using cars less public transport.

What 2 factors will a local authority consider
when granting planning permission? (4)
Ensure that the building produces no long term bad effects.
Carry out field studies to monitor effects.
Use indicator species such as lichens and water invertebrates

What is the difference between a brown field
and a green field site. Give a good and bad
point about building on each (6)
Green field never been built on before no pollution of ground but also
no services (water etc)
Brown field been built on before land may be polluted but near to
services and in the middle of towns.

Explain what factors may affect
the yield of a crop (5)
The amount of light for photosynthesis to make food.
The availability of water for photosynthesis and support
of the plant.
The amount of nutrients in the soil to make thechemicals they need.
The amount of competition from other plants/weeds.
The amount of pesticides/fertilisers used.

We pass on many characteristics to our offspring,
describe and explain in what form this information
is passed from parents to children (7)
Things like eye colour, hair colour, nose shape are inherited.
This is caused by genetic information being passed on by the sex
cells gametes. Deoxyribonucleic acid is made of 2 strands twisted into a spiral
called a double helix.
Complete strands of DNA are called chromosomes.
Humans have 46 chromosomes.
Small sections of a chromosome are called genes.
Genes are the units of inheritance.

Describe and explain the two methods by
which plants can be cloned (7)
Taking a cutting
A cutting is taken from a plant and treated with hormonepowder grows to form a new plant.
Useful characteristics in the parent plant such as diseaseresistance will be passed on.
It takes a long time to produce lots of plants.
Tissue culture.
A quicker method is to take a sample of tissue (cells)
from a plant. In the laboratory these cells are treated with hormone
and lots of plants are produced in a short time.

25/26
Discuss the positive and negative aspects
of genetic engineering (10)
Making low fat meats. Making plants with their own pesticides. Makes plants that grow well in hot or dry parts of the world. Making sheep that can produce life saving proteins in their milk. Preventing genetic illnesses being passed on from parents.
It is a new science. What are the long term effects? Insects may become resistant to pesticides if they eat pesticide
resistant plants. How will eating genetically engineered food affect the body?
Genetically modified crops often arent fertile so farmers have to buynew seeds each year. People may want to use this process to produce their ideal babies in
the future.

Define what is meant by sustainable
development using some examples, (8).
Sustainable development is where we do our best tomanage the world around us. This combines humanprogress with environmental stability.
Uses resources that are replaced regularly
Produces wastes that break down harmlessly Protects the future. Farmers using plant waste and natural manure as
fertilisers. Replanting hedgerows to reduce erosion and to increase
animal habitats. When trees are felled for timber they are replaced. Recycling of material such as glass, plastic, paper, cans
and material.
