3 The apparatus in Fig. 3.1 is used to investigate the effect of light intensity on the rate of
photosynthesis in the aquatic plant Elodea.

The intensity of light is varied by changing the distance of the plant from the lamp. The light
intensity increases as the distance from the plant decreases.

The rate of photosynthesis is measured by counting the number of bubbles of oxygen produced by
the plant per minute.

Fig. 3.1

The results are used to produce the graph shown in Fig. 3.2.

Fig. 3.2

(a) Use data from the graph in Fig. 3.2 to describe the effect of light intensity on the rate of
photosynthesis.

7 Fig. 7.1 shows a sealed glass jar containing soil and plants. An oxygen sensor is used to find out
how the concentration of oxygen in the glass jar changes during the day.

The plants can live in the glass jar for several weeks without opening the jar.

(a) The plants in Fig. 7.1 use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.

Explain why they do not run out of carbon dioxide in the sealed jar.

(b) The water needed for photosynthesis enters the root hair cells of the plants.

Describe how the structure of a root hair cell adapts it for water uptake.

1 (a) Use lines to connect the box on the left to different boxes on the right to make correct
sentences.

One is done for you. The sentence reads ‘Enzymes are present in all organisms’.

Draw three more lines to make three more correct sentences.

are used up during reactions.

are biological catalysts.

are present in all organisms.

Enzymes are needed for diffusion to take place.

are denatured by low temperatures.

work best in a narrow pH range.

are made from amino acids.

(b) Microorganisms are used in the production of yoghurt.

If the temperature increases the rate of yoghurt production also increases until 46 °C
is reached. As the temperature increases further, the rate of yoghurt production rapidly
decreases.

A student thinks that enzymes in the microorganisms are involved in making yoghurt.

Suggest whether the student is correct. Explain your answer.
