Title: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: amachq on June 05, 2009, 11:05:50 pm
can anyone tell wht was the answer of question no.40
that sewage thing...........
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: IO4567 on June 06, 2009, 12:30:00 am
i put C but im not sure loads of my friends put D
im convinced its C! you?

About that question of the phloem tubes... what was the answer? i put fats... is it correct?
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: homer on June 06, 2009, 12:48:05 am
is D farm A?......i don't get the question..if the nitrate levels were the highest after that farm then doesnt it have the most fertiliser?
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: .... on June 06, 2009, 01:04:32 am
for the sewage one, the last question, im quite sure it was D...the phloem was obviously fat..cuz phloem transport amino acids and sucrose in solution (water)
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: nid404 on June 06, 2009, 03:57:11 am
yup that was D and the aphids lack fats

then how come nuts which are made from plants have fat in them where did it come from? plus fats are not dissolved in water just like sucrose

Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: nid404 on June 06, 2009, 05:08:28 am
Green plants can make all the materials(including fats and sucrose)using water,carbon dioxide and salts. They r synthesized from sugar molecules and other molecules produced in photosynthesis.

Glucose and amino acids are transported in solution(water). Fats are synthesized for cell membrane and for storing in seeds.

The answer of the 40th WAS C
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: nid404 on June 06, 2009, 05:14:27 am
it was D dude.

cause when sewage is added bacteria feed on the organic matter,using a lot of dissolved oxygen. When this happens fishes have less oxygen to thrive on(they die). When they die it depletes oxygen levels more....so bacteria which do not require oxygen(anaerobically respiring bacteria)will increase cuz they can survive without oxygen

Heyy


nd what was the answer for which of dese carry glucose

was it arteries only
or arteries and veins

was dat a difficult question or am i just too stupid to have got the wrong answer for that

Sorry man I dont agree with U.
See when oxygen level decreases,the fishes starts to die.
 so the number of bacteria increase as they feed on dead fishes.
 as from first the oxygen is less they respire anaerobically. 

And how can dying of fish decrease oxygen level...???

Post by: Friends on June 06, 2009, 05:51:08 am
Ok i got the Answer.
If anyone uses Study guide of IGCSE for biology by Dave Haywaed
Plz see page no 128.

Highest is oxygen
then        Algea
then        nitrates
then        suspended solids
then        sewage fungus
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: IG_ICE09 on June 06, 2009, 06:00:06 am
the sewage one HAS TO be "number of bacteria increase" as the first stage, so i think it started with 4-x-x-x as the order of events...i4got if it was C or D but when sewage is let in2 a river first the no of bacteria increase thats obvious, THEN they start depleting oxygen levels, fish die, and as a result, more anaerobic organisms (hu can survive without O2) are remaining.
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: thukon on June 06, 2009, 06:04:40 am
I got the sewage thing wrong for sure. I put B (lol) because I thought the fish get poisoned from the sewage or something.
What did you people put for the Monocot leaf? The answer was D (the one that was long and thin and had veins running the length of the leaf)

what about question 29, the one about the yellow and purple genotypes, i put the answer as A but people are telling me its C, it has to be pp as it said one of the parent genotypes were yellow.. therefore, it cant be Pp x PP or PP x Pp
It also had to be in 3:1 ratio..
what about the others, how many marks do you think you're losing?

yes!!! I put areteries and veins.

Im asking again, what did u ppl put for the monocot leaf? The answer is D, the long thin one.

@vivek. Its C. Since its a 3:1 ratio, Pp x Pp is the answer. The offspring will be PP, Pp, Pp, and pp, so 3 purple for 1 yellow. Simple.
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: Friends on June 06, 2009, 06:27:05 am

Therefor all purple. and No yellow.

And how can dying of fish decrease oxygen level...???

oxygen levels don't just decrease..they decrease because bacteria respire and use them up. When sewage is added bacteria feed and multiply rapidly. And when the fishes die bacteria feed on them too(fishes r organic matter )...so the level decreases more. So when the levels decrease anaerobically respiring bacteria start to grow(cuz they don't need the oxygen).

Highest is oxygen
then        Algea
then        nitrates
then        suspended solids
then        sewage fungus

u have wrongly interpreted it.
i'll explain

Sewage is pumped at X, this causes rise in sewage fungus,suspended solids and nitrates...algae falls as oxygen level falls. Look at the lines properly. At Y sewage fungus also reduce as oxygen depletes, nitrates r used up along with the suspended solids(organic solids). When their number reduces,oxygen levels r restores and algae grows again. I hope uve got it.I'm saying this for ur good...so that u don't repeat ur mistake. If u don't understand it i will explain it again but if u still want to go ahead with ur interpretation i can't say anything.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I agree thukon but A also had a 3:1 ratio, i dont remember the genotypes, but im pretty sure that it was that ratio, additionally, my point was it said said that one of the parent phenotype had one yellow genotype, therefore it cant be Pp for both as 'P' is dominant to 'p', therefore both the phenotypes of the parents would be purple..

First of all, one of the parents couldnt be yellow and still combine to give a 3:1 ratio. Its impossible.
And it never said anything like that one parent is yellow. All it asked was what are the genotypes of the parents.
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: nid404 on June 06, 2009, 07:15:23 am
It can give ratio of 3:1
But 3 yellow is to 1 purple.
pp x Pp
                 p              p
P               Pp            Pp   
p              pp             pp
 1:1 ratio

can anyone xplain hw kidney transport glucose by VEIN?

Ok well, the blood that enters the kidney goes through the artery, which then passes into those tiny nephrons. In the nephron the blood has high concentrations of urea, water, glucose, oxygen. This passes into the glomeroulous and under high pressure passes through to the  bowmans capsule. It then passes through to the first coiled tubule where ultra filtration takes place of some glucose and oxygen. It then passes down to the loop of henle where water is absorbed. Then it passes into the second coiled tubule where the final absorbtion of glucose takes place. This glucose absorbed in the first and second coiled tubule then pass into the blood stream through the renal vein. And finally, urea passes into the collecting duct and through to the ureter.

I hope that helped. It seams pretty complicated ;p

I think what Natalie is trying to explain..is that..the reason glucose travels through the arterys and veins..is because glucose travels in the blood..to the kidney via the artery.. the blood is then purified in the kidney, but glucose also travels out of the vein..the renal vein. U get me?

yes but sap is present. Its not like the substances are transported on their own, the need to be in liquid. And also, that questino was supposed to confuse u..because it was telling u about the phloem to remind u what a phloem is. But then it asked a general question "What do they lack in thier diet"
Ofcourse aphids drink water.. else they would die :X It was trying ton confuzzle u.

it was D dude.

cause when sewage is added bacteria feed on the organic matter,using a lot of dissolved oxygen. When this happens fishes have less oxygen to thrive on(they die). When they die it depletes oxygen levels more....so bacteria which do not require oxygen(anaerobically respiring bacteria)will increase cuz they can survive without oxygen
exactly

ERMM.... im confused ??? :-[
I just want to clarify this whole aphid and phloem thing.
The question was : " Aphids feed on the contents of phloem. What do they lack in their diet ? "
And the choices were : A amino acids
                                B fats
                                C sucrose
                                D water
I thot that aphids were green plants that stuck to plants' stems, so they cud produce glucose but needed amino acids as they weren't able to absorb nitrate ions from soil [ we did a question like this once in some ppr 3 but i noe now they were NOT aphids ] so niways i had water and fats COMPLETELY ruled out.
SOOO help me out here.... most ppl here say fats . BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW APHIDS LACK  FATS IN THEIR DIET?
Water is ruled out but it cud easily be amino acid and sugars? y fats?
P.S. i chose A.

An aphid is an insect-the answer is fats because the plant makes amino acids and transports them via the phloem-it also transports sucrose, which is dissolved in water, so the only logical answer can be B-yes the plants have FAT but mainly in their fruits (for example the avocado)

hey can sum1 please tell me de answer for de glucose thing

wat is glucose carried in ??

was it arteries only??
Nope. It is artery and veins both.
yes!!! I put areteries and veins.



Im asking again, what did u ppl put for the monocot leaf? The answer is D, the long thin one.

@vivek. Its C. Since its a 3:1 ratio, PP x Pp is the answer. The offspring will be PP, Pp, Pp, and pp, so 3 purple for 1 yellow. Simple.
Monocoat is D
And if PP X Pp is the answer u r wrong. Because offspring will be PP,PP,Pp and Pp

Therefor all purple. and No yellow.

hey not all were of the same colour most of dem were black n sum were white im tlkin accordin to da pic so it has to be 75% purple so this makes it PpxPp

Hmmm, i put meiosis non-identical and mitosis identical.
And aphids feed on the contents of the phloem, and the phloem does not carry fats, so its safe to assume that aphids lack fats in their diet.
And i put the downward arrow for the stomata.
What did u people put for the monocot leaf?

The phloem was trying to confuse you..
how can aphids lack water in their diet?! They would die! Aphids like most living organisms need water to survive.
That question was trying to trick you out on purpose. You had to use the cross methods.
There is def sucrose and amino acids in the plhoem.
but aphids live on water...

What do you mean by "but the Pp and pp produced mostly yellow"? Pp and pp will produce half yellow and half purple.
And the question didnt say anything about purple mating with yellow. It just said purple is dominant over yellow.

i got this answ
Decomposers eat already dead animals so they don't rot. They are at the bottom of the food chain and start the food chain over again. Plants or animals eat decomposers, and animals/ plants eat them, which is eaten by another, and another

which means tht plants do eat decomposers
either tht or my english sucks

Nope. It is artery and veins both.
yes!!! I put areteries and veins.



Im asking again, what did u ppl put for the monocot leaf? The answer is D, the long thin one.

@vivek. Its C. Since its a 3:1 ratio, PP x Pp is the answer. The offspring will be PP, Pp, Pp, and pp, so 3 purple for 1 yellow. Simple.
Monocoat is D
And if PP X Pp is the answer u r wrong. Because offspring will be PP,PP,Pp and Pp

Therefor all purple. and No yellow.

I think C was Pp x Pp....so its right...I think

It was excretion. Respiration is a metabolic reaction, but it's not how you get rid of the waste products of metabloic reactions. To get rid of the waste products of respiration you have to excrete CO2 and H2O.
Well done :D
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: Steve13 on June 06, 2009, 05:09:03 pm
Excretion is to remove organisms of toxic
materials, the waste products of metabolism
(chemical reactions in cells including
respiration) and substances in excess of
requirements
 
Respiration as the chemical reactions that
break down nutrient molecules in living cells
to release energy
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!

plz explain this: if a sperm can survive for 3 days and an egg for 2,and if ovulation occurs anytime from day 13 to 15,why is the fertile period 7 days???
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: thukon on June 07, 2009, 09:57:09 am
If the sperm is injected into the vagina 3 days before ovulation, the egg could get fertilized after 3 days. So take that date as the 10th.
Now if ovulation occurs on the 15th, the ovum survives for 2 days, thats till the 17th, so the egg could get fertilized.
So the 10th to the 17th. Thats 7 days.

Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!
Post by: goin4dakill on June 07, 2009, 10:43:00 am
can someone please help me with the menstrual cycle?

Not tooo compicated..

0-4 days- lining breaks down (the bleeding)
4-13 days- uterus lining is built up again
13-28- uterus lining is maintained-awaiting embeddment of zygote

The days are different for everyone- but thats an approximate count.

Now, the hormones.
Oestogen- is to encourage the repair of the uterus lining
progesterone- maintains the lining

FSH and LH (dont know if u have to know it- but oh well)
Follicle Stimuating hormone + luteinizing hormone- to make the ovum

Hope it Helped!
oh and ovulation (when the little egg is realeased-) happens about the 13th day- when the uterus lining is built up

because the progestrone tricks the boidy into thinking that fertilisation has taken place so no oestrogen is produced so no fertilisation is produced

\
Ok, well.. ive never seen something like that before..but if i use my knowledge.. I would think that at every heart beat- the flow of blood increases--and therefore the pressure increases (By the way whats the variables?-like whats on the x and y axis) anyway, and valves stop blood from backflowing..so therfore everytime theres a valve, there is alot large pressure, because it propels the blood upwards and out of the heart- instead of letting it trickle back into the atrium
Title: Re: Biolgy paper 1 help!

Ok, well.. ive never seen something like that before..but if i use my knowledge.. I would think that at every heart beat- the flow of blood increases--and therefore the pressure increases (By the way whats the variables?-like whats on the x and y axis) anyway, and valves stop blood from backflowing..so therfore everytime theres a valve, there is alot large pressure, because it propels the blood upwards and out of the heart- instead of letting it trickle back into the atrium

no no i got it...thanku!!!!!!!!!

Green plants can make all the materials(including fats and sucrose)using water,carbon dioxide and salts. They r synthesized from sugar molecules and other molecules produced in photosynthesis.

Glucose and amino acids are transported in solution(water). Fats are synthesized for cell membrane and for storing in seeds.

our science coordinator said look for the language! they said lacking which means that the animal has water but not is enough supply
LOOK for the language!!!!!!!!!
