(b) A remote control deep-sea probe collected mud from the seabed at a depth of 8000 m.
The mud was thought to contain living microorganisms.
Suggest an investigation you might carry out which would indicate whether respiring
microorganisms are present in a sample of the mud.
The mud is placed in a porous bag (e.g. made of cloth such as muslin)

Suggest how deforestation might affect

There might be more carbon dioxide in the air since there would be fewer

trees to absorb CO2 during photosynthesis but less CO 2 would be released
...................................................................................................................................
There would be fewer roots to absorb water and fewer leaves to release

growth, movement and excretion are also correct, but remember that
plants do not show locomotion and feeding is not the correct technical
term for nutrition since it might suggest the act of eating which is
incorrect for plants. Note, in particular, that the question asks for three
characteristics of living organisms other than respiration.
Q1 (b)

Q2 (a) ii
The stigmas and the anthers are exposed outside the flower the
stigmas so they can catch the pollen passing in the wind, the anthers
so they can best release it into the wind both are also acceptable
responses to this question. Note also that the question asks
specifically for features visible in Fig. 2.1.
