You will DOVRSUDFWLVHFDOFXODWLQJPDJQLîFDWLRQ You need: z two leaves, one from a monocotyledonous plant (monocot) and one from a dicotyledonous plant (dicot) z a sharp HB pencil and a good eraser z a ruler to measure in mm. a Observe both leaves carefully, looking at both the upper and lower surfaces. Look for any differences between the two leaves. b In the space overleaf, make a large, labelled drawing of the upper surface of one of the leaves. The labels should point out any interesting features that you have noted. &KDSWHU &ODVVLîFDWLRQ © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-12443-0 - Cambridge IGCSE Biology Workbook, Second Edition Mary Jones and Geoff Jones Excerpt More information Use this check list to give yourself a mark for your drawing. For each point, award yourself: 2 marks if you did it really well 1 mark if you made a good attempt at it, and partly succeeded 0 marks if you did not try to do it, or did not succeed. Self-assessment check list for drawing FKHFNSRLQW You used a sharp pencil and rubbed out mistakes really thoroughly. You have drawn single lines, not many tries at the same line. You have drawn the specimen the right shape, and with different parts in the correct proportions. You have made a really large drawing, using the space provided. You have included all the different structures that are visible on the specimen. You have drawn label lines with a ruler, touching the structure being labelled. You have written the labels horizontally and neatly, well away from the diagram itself. Take 1 mark off if you used any shading or colours.

She took five Petri dishes containing agar jelly. She cut four holes in the jelly in each dish. She placed 0.5 cm3 of a solution containing a red pigment (coloured substance) into each hole. agar jelly hole cut in jelly, containing solution The student then covered the dishes and very carefully placed them in different temperatures. She left them for 2 hours. Then she measured how far the red colour had diffused into the agar around each hole. 10 IGCSE Biology © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org
