why daphnia needs aheart and circulATory system ???

Any organism requires a heart to pump blood. A circulatory system is needed to carry the blood around the body to various organs (for exchange of gases and nutrients). This is done by the help of blood vessels - veins and arteries.

answer all questions in figure provided plz ???

a) When boiled, the vitamin content of the vegetables decreases.

b) Using titration. (The method is provided already in the paper.  ::))   
Describe how to investigate the vitamin C content of food and drink.
PROCEDURE: Add Vitamin C solution of a known concentration (CONCA), drop by drop, with a pipette, to 2 cm3 of the DCPIP (blue) solution in a test tube. Shake the tube gently after the addition of each drop and continue to add drops until the DCPIP solution is decolourised. Record the exact volume of vitamin C (VOLA) you added. Repeat the procedure and calculate the mean volume.
Repeat the procedure with the fruit juice, containing vitamin C at unknown concentration (CONCB). Record the volume of juice (VOLB) required to decolourise 2 cm3 of the same concentration of DCPIP solution. Note: If only one or two drops of fruit juice are required to decolourise DCPIP, dilute the juice five times and try again.

Using the same technique, compare the vitamin C contents of different food and drinks.

Use the equation below to estimate the concentration of vitamin C in the fruit juices.
CONCB = (VOLA X CONCA) / VOLB VOLA = Volume of vitamin C solution in ml
CONCA = Concentration of vitamin C solution in mg ml-1
VOLB = Volume of fruit juice in ml
CONCB = Concentration of vitamin C in fruit juice in mg ml-

c) You have to write the safety precautions needed to take before you do titration. Gloves, goggles etc...

D)i) Canned vegetables -  lose vitamin C during processing. If the canning water is thrown out, even more is lost.
   ii) Cutting the fruits and vegetables -  Once the protective peels or coverings of fruits and vegetables are cut, the fruits and vegetables begin to degrade and lose vitamin C.

I'll let you do the SAQ6 yourself.  ;)

excuse me can u say to me what does he means to complete the table is there anything missing

he means safety precautions or any variables to be controls

hahahah.....
well anyway thanks i'll tryand post it here

Actually, I didn't find any table myself. So, I just compared the results in the above table.

The question just said precautions. Why dont you write about both? First, the control of variables and then the safety.

As in? Both fruits and vegetables loose about 10 to 90 percent of vitamin C when they are canned. You can google to find more.

I hope it's clearer.

here I am really surprised  ::) with the answer if anone of u guys know any idea abt it clear that doubt for me plz
Q5(b)
http://www.xtremepapers.net/Edexcel/Advanced%20Level/Biology/2007%20June/Unit%201%20June%202007.pdf

 as in the mark scheme the answer is this(b) prophase, telophase, metaphase and anaphase;
while what i thought that it would be metaphase,telophase,anaphase, prophase  ??? ???

second question Q 8 (b)(i)

 plz answer & show ur steps {what i dont know is what is the max. rate as if u looked at the mark scheme u may find max.rate is 0.0069 and i donot know how to get that ???
http://www.xtremepapers.net/Edexcel/Advanced%20Level/Biology/2008%20June/6101-01%20Biolgy%20%28Human%29.pdf

Thanks in advance sorry for disturbing

um.. I don't know why but I think something is wrong with the data given in the table.  ::)

The number of cells observed in a phase is directly proportional to the length of that phase.
Which means, the more the no. of cells in the phase, the more the length of the phase. But the table question and the answer say two different things. Usually, Prophase takes the longest time, then teleophase, and metaphase and anaphase take almost the same amount of time. to complete the phase.  Here, is another article with the same experiment.

I'm not really sure about this part. But I think, they found the maximum rate by dividing the maximum concentration with decreasing rate. (decrease in rate between 38/40 and 68/70 minutes )  0.325/47 = 0.0069.  ::)

I suggest, you discuss both the above questions with your teacher.  :)

And, For some reason I'm not able to reply to your pm. I get an error message saying that you have blocked my pm's.  :-\

Anyways, about the quote thing. You only have to use

separately for each line.

Yez.

I'll reply to your pm later. Or you can just click on the 'quote' button of one of my posts and see clearly the way its done.  :P
