Pl- Tendons, ligaments, bones, muscles and joints are important features in a
movement,
P2- Tendons connect muscles to bones
P3- Tendons are strong and non elastic
P4- Force is transferred to bones through tendons.
P5- Movement at the joint is possible with the aid of ligaments.
P6- Ligaments connect two bones together
P7- to give support and strength to the joint.
P8- Ligaments are strong and elastic.

Non-woody plants (herbaceous plants)
Example: Balsam plant/ any suitable answer
P1: (Support in herbaceous plants is) provided by the turgidity of the
parenchyma / collenchyma cells
P2: (When there is enough water in the ground). the cells take in water
by osmosis and become turgid.
P3: The turgor pressure of the fluids in the vacuoles pushes the cell
contents / plasma membrane against the cell wall
P4: creating support for it stem/ roots /leaves
P5: The thin thickening die cell walls with cellulose / collenchyma
cells gives support to herbaceous plants
Woody plants :
Example : Rambutan tree/ hibiscus/ any suitable example
P6: Woody plants have specialised tissues/sclerenchyma tissues/xylem vessels/
tracheids to give them support;
P7: These tissues have cellulose walls which have deposits of lignin for added strength.
P8: Sclerenchyma cells have very thick walls (which do not allow water to pass through).
P9: (These cells are dead cells and) their function is to provide support for the plant.
P10: Xylem vessels have thick walls of lignin which are deposited during the plants
secondary growth.
P11: The lignified xylem vessels form the woody tissues of the stem.
P12: This makes the plant stronger and also provides support for the plant.
P13: Tracheids are also dead cells with thick walls and very small diameters.
P14: They are found with the xylem vessels and together they support the plants.

-Greenhouse effect happens as carbon dioxide is released to the
atmosphere due to forest burning, emission from vehicles, factory
and will form a layer of gas.
- Deforestation also increases carbon dioxide
- Glass building reflect heat

Score

Sample answer
The rate of transpiration increases, that is the distance traveled by the air bubble is more than
1.1 cm and the rate of transpiration is more than 0.22 cm min-1 because there is an increase in
light intensity. A higher light intensity increases the rate of evaporation of water vapour that
accumulates at the stomata of the leaves. Hence more water is lost at a faster rate from the leaves.

Measure 200ml of water and put it into the mug/cup/glass
A student (Sample A) is given 200ml of water to drink.
A stop watch is started immediately after consuming the water.
During the experiment, he is kept in (any fixed suitable room) within 2 hours (any suitable
time range).
He is instructed not to eat or perform any vigorous physical activities (within the given time).
After 2 hour, the stop watch is stopped and he is asked to empty his bladder.
The volume of urine collected is measured and recorded.
Steps 2 8 is repeated for different amount of water drank (400 ml, 600ml, 800ml,
1000ml)
The whole experiment is repeated using 2 different students to get a more accurate result.
