BIOLOGY PAPER ONE- MARKING SCHEME 1. Name the branch of biology that deals with the study of; a). Cells 1 Mark Cell biology b). Parasites 1 mark Parasitology 2. The diameter field of view of a light microscopic is 3.5mm. Plant cells lying within of the diameter are 10. Determine the size of one cell microns (1mm = 1000µm). 2 marks 1 mm = 1000μm 3.5 mm = 3500 μm 10 cells = 3500 μm 1 cell = 3500 μm 10 1 cell = 350 μm 3. The table below shows the concentration of some ions in pond water and in the cells sap of an aquatic plant growing in the pond. Ions Sodium Concentration in pond Concentration in cell water (parts per million) sap (parts per million 50 30 Potassium 2 150 Calcium 1.5 1 Chloride 180 200 a) Name the processes by which the following ions could have been taken up by this plant. (2mks) i) Calcium Diffusion ii) Potassium ions Active transport b. Give one condition required for the process named in a (ii) above. 1 Mark. Energy is required/ATP Food/Glucose Oxygen 4. An experiment was set up as shown in the diagram below. Mark first one only The set up was left for 30 minutes. a) What was the aim of the experiment? (1mk) To demonstrate osmosis using non living tissue b). Give TWO importance’s of the process being investigated above in plants (3mks) Plants roots absorb water from the soil Feeding by insectivorous plants Opening and closing of stomata 5. Photosynthesis takes place in two stages. Name the part of the chloroplast where i) Light stage occurs 1 mark Grannae/Grannum ii) Dark stage occurs 1mk Stroma Rej stoma 6. Give the food requirements whose deficiency in the human diet causes each of the following disease. a). Scurvy (1mk) Vitamin C b). Goitre Iodine (1mk) c). Night blindness Vitamin A (1 mk) Rej: Vitamin a 7. The diagram below represents a transverse section of a young stem. a) Name the parts labelled A and B A. Epidermis B. Pith b) State the functions of the parts labelled C. (2mks) (1mk) Transports manufactured food/Translocation 8. A Form one student lit up a charcoal jiko in a room, closed all the windows and the doors in an attempt to keep warm. The student died after 6 hours. (3mks) Carbon (II) oxide gas produced by the burning charcoal, combined with oxygen gas to give carboxyhaemoglobin which is very stable/does not easily dissociate in the tissues, hence leading to suffocation and eventually death 9. Name three gaseous constituents involved in gaseous exchange in plants. Oxygen Carbon(IV)oxide Water vapour (3mks) Rej: Chemical formulae Rej: water 10. What is the effect of contraction of the External intercostal muscles during breathing in mammals? (3mks) Rib cage moves upwards and outwards Internal volume increases Internal pressure decreases 11. a). Name the chemical compound that accumulates in the human body muscles during a vigorous exercise. (1mk) Lactic acid b). What is the effect of the accumulation of the compound named in (a) above. (2mks) It is poisonous to tissues Causes muscle crumps Increases heart beat Mark any correct two 12. Below is a diagram of an organelle that is involved in aerobic respiration. a) Name the organelle (1mk Mitochondrion Rej: Mitochondria b) What is the purpose of the folding labelled D? (1mk) To increase surface area for attachment of respiratory enzymes/To increase surface area for respiration c) Give the chemical compound which is formed in the organelle and forms the immediate source of energy. (1mk) Adenosine triphospahate/ATP 13. The temperature of a person taken before during and after taking a cold bath. The results are shown in the graph 37 Temp 0C 36 35 Time (Minutes) (a) Explain why the temperature fell during the bath ( 2 marks) Heat from the body metabolism is not lost to the surrounding through sweating, because evaporation of sweat will be low; as air is already saturated with moisture b) Give the name of the thermoregulatory centre in the human body. (1mk) Hypothalamus 15. The diagram below represents a fern Name (a) Parts labelled A and B ( 2 marks) A. Sorus B. Rhizome (b) The division which the plant belongs ( 1 mark) Ptreridophyta Rej: Pteridophyte 16. What three characteristics are used to divide the arthropods into classes? Number of body parts Number of appendages Presence of wings (3 mks) 17. The graph below represents a population growth of a certain herbivore in a grassland ecosystem over a period of time. Suggest three factors that could have caused the population change between C and D (3mks) Drought/food shortage /overgrazing Fire Emigration 18. The chart below shows a feeding relationship in a certain ecosystem Grasshopper → Lizards → Snakes Green plants Hawks Mice Domestic cats a). Construct one food chain ending with a tertiary consumer Green plants → Grasshoppers → Lizards → Snakes Green plants → Grasshoppers → Lizards → Cats Green plants → Mice → Snakes → Cats (1 mk) Mark any one correct (a) Which organism has the largest variety of predators in the food web? (1 mk) Mice (b) Name two secondary consumers in the food web ( 2 marks) Lizard Snake Mark first two only Domestic cat Hawk 19. Give three advantages of cross- pollination ( 3 marks) Promotes variations/ Mixing of genetic composition of different plants. Promotes hybrid vigour/Offspring produced has high yield. Offspring is more resistant to disease and adverse conditions 20. State two roles of placenta in mammals (2mks) It forms a large surface area for the diffusion of nutrient from the maternal blood to the foetal blood. Glucose, amino acids and salts are transferred. The placenta isolates the foetus from the higher blood pressure of the mother and from direct connection of the two blood systems. Acts as an excretory organ/Excretion materials can easily pass from foetus to mother. 21. Green plants grow towards a source of light. Name this type of response (1mk) Phototrpism 22. State two characteristics that researchers select in breeding programmes. (2marks) -High yielding /Hybrid vigour - Resistance to disease, Mark first two only - Early maturity. - Resistance to drought 23.

State two advantages of natural selection to organisms ( 2 marks) Assists to eliminate disadvantageous characteristics / perpetuate advantageous characteristics. - Allow better-adapted organisms to survive (adverse changes) in environment/less adapted organisms are eliminated by adverse changes in the environment. 25.
