Guided Exam QuestionQ7. Read the following passage.
One of the deadliest diseases in history to be making a comeback in Britain. Doctors are alarmed at the rising number of cases of tuberculosis (TB) over the past three years, after decades in which it had declined.In the middle of the last century TB accounted for 16% of all deaths in Britain. The turning point in the fight against TB came in 1882 when Robert Koch identified the bacterium that causes the disease. In 1906 two French scientists began developing the vaccine to provide immunity against TB. The vaccine, BCG, (so-called from the initials of the two scientists) has routinely been injected into children aged 12 or 13 who are not already infected with the TB bacterium. BCG does not protect people who are already infected with TB. Recently, however, some Health Authorities have dropped their school vaccination programme.
(a) People infected with a small number of TB bacteria often do not develop the disease.
Explain, as fully as you can, how the body defends itself against the TB bacteria.

(b) Read the information about cholesterol and ways of treating high cholesterol levels.
Diet and inherited factors affect the level of cholesterol in a person's blood.Too much cholesterol may cause deposits of fat to build up in blood vessels and reduce the flow of blood. This may cause the person to have a heart attack.Some drugs can lower the amount of cholesterol in the blood.
The body needs cholesterol. Cells use cholesterol to make new cell membranes and some hormones. The liver makes cholesterol for the body.
Some drugs can help people with high cholesterol levels.
Statins block the enzyme in the liver that is used to produce cholesterol.People will normally have to take statins for the rest of their lives. Statins can lead to muscle damage and kidney problems. Using some statins for a long time has caused high numbers of deaths.
Cholesterol blockers reduce the absorption of cholesterol from the intestine into the blood.Cholesterol blockers can sometimes cause problems if the person is using other drugs.
Evaluate the use of the two types of drug for a person with high cholesterol levels.

23. The diagram shows where three seaweeds live on a seashore.As the tide moves in and out, these seaweeds are covered with seawater for different lengths of time.
Some students investigated the rate of photosynthesis in these seaweeds.
• They cut ten small discs from one seaweed.
• They dropped the discs into seawater in a beaker.
• They recorded the time taken for the fifth disc to float to the surface.
• They repeated this experiment with the other two seaweeds.
(a) (i) Suggest why the discs floated to the surface.
