1 A person with kidney failure received regular dialysis treatment for 17 days.
Fig. 1.1 showshow the concentration of urea in the blood changed over the 17 days.

(iii) Describe the changes that occur in the urea concentration in the blood over the period shown
in Fig. 1.1

(iii) Any three from:
as lemming population falls / rises so does the snowy owl population;
but with a time delay;
because of less / more food for the snowy owls;
avp; (e.g. explanation of time delay) [max 3]

4 (c) (i) 1 two peaks;

2 at 10 h, and 14 / 15 h;
3 no water conduction before 4 h;
4 slow / gradual, increase from 4 h to 6 h / 7 h;
5 maximum water conduction rate of 2.4 dm3 per hour;
6 steep increase in rate of water conduction at 7 h / 7.5 h;
7 decrease in rate of water conduction after 14.5 – 15 h;
8 any other data quote; max 3
Correct units (dm3 per hour) for water
conduction must be stated at least once.
If no units at all, only penalise once.
A at 15 h
