Study Notes

  • The Biology Paper 1 Multiple Choice (Core) exam is 0610/12.
  • The exam is in February/March 2024 and lasts 45 minutes.
  • The paper consists of 40 multiple-choice questions.
  • Each correct answer scores one mark, totaling 40 marks.
  • Breathing is a characteristic of all living organisms.
  • A mammal can be identified by the presence of fur.
  • All cells have a cell membrane.
  • To increase the rate of diffusion of oxygen molecules out of a photosynthesizing leaf, decrease the distance over which diffusion occurs.
  • Osmosis is the movement of water through a partially permeable membrane of a cell.
  • Active transport is the movement of particles from a lower to a higher concentration and requires energy.
  • DCPIP initially starts blue and finishes colourless when lemon juice (containing vitamin C) is tested with it.
  • Biuret solution is a reagent used to test for the presence of protein in food.
  • The rate of reaction peaks at pH 6 for the enzyme in the graph.
  • Photosynthesis and respiration are taking place at the same time in the tube.
  • Palisade mesophyll cell shows a diagram of a typical plant cell.
  • Food providing the most energy has key fats and oils.
  • Statements 2 and 3 about teeth are correct: incisor teeth are for biting and cutting food, and premolar teeth are for chewing and grinding food.
  • The definition of chemical digestion is large insoluble molecules are changed into smaller soluble molecules.
  • Hydrochloric acid provides an acid pH for enzymes in the stomach.
  • The xylem tissue provides support for a plant.
  • The graph shows increasing wind speed increases the rate of transpiration.
  • Valves ensure one-way flow of blood in the circulatory system.
  • Red blood cells flow through blood vessels in the order 2→3→1 when travelling from the right ventricle to the left atrium of the heart.
  • ECG traces differ during exercise because during exercise the heart rate increases to transport more oxygen to muscles.
  • Pathogens are disease-causing organisms and they are transmitted by indirect contact through contaminated food.
  • The alveolus has the thinnest wall in the breathing system.
  • The products of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide and water.
