The document is an answer scheme for a biology exam question with two parts. Part one asks about the functions of three cell organelles: K is the Golgi apparatus which packages, modifies and transports proteins; L is the nucleus which contains DNA and controls cell activities; M is the vacuole which contains water and organic substances to maintain cell turgidity. Part two asks about four plant cell types: palisade mesophyll cells contain many chloroplasts arranged vertically to maximize photosynthesis; spongy mesophyll cells are loosely arranged for gas exchange; epidermal cells contain a transparent cuticle to allow light passage; root hair cells have long projections to increase surface area for water absorption.

(i) Able to state function of K P1: K is Golgi apparatus 1 P2: Packages, modifies, processes and transports proteins, carbohydrates and 1 glycoproteins
Able to state function of L
P3: L is nucleus 1 P4: Contains deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which determines the cell characteristic 1 and metabolic function // Controls all cell activities
Able to state function of M
P5: M is Vacuole 1 P6: Contains water and organic substances // maintain the cell’s turgidity 1 6 (ii) P1: Palisade mesophyll cells 1 E1: Contains a lot of chloroplasts // arrange vertically to maximize absorption of 1 sunlight P2: Spongy mesophyll cells 1 E2: Arranged loosely for gaseous exchange 1 P3 Epidermal cell 1 E3: Contains transparent cuticle to allow sunlight to pass through and reach 1 palisade mesophyll cells P4: Root hair cells 1 E4: Has long projections to increase surface area for water absorption 1 [Any 2 P + 2E] 4
