In an investigation, the rate of photosynthesis in a plant is measured at different temperatures. The investigation is carried out at three different light intensities. The results are shown. What is the limiting factor for the rate of photosynthesis at point X?

In plants, which ions are used to make amino acids?

The diagram shows a cross-section of part of a leaf. Which structure is the cuticle?

Poor nutrition can lead to a condition called rickets in which bones fail to develop properly. The table shows some minerals and vitamins present in four foods. Which food would be best for a child who has rickets?

Which food group is chemically digested in the mouth, passes through the stomach and continues to be broken down by chemical digestion in the small intestine?

Which row about bile is correct?

The small intestine is where most digested foods are absorbed. The small intestine has many villi. These are some features of villi. 1 Each villus contains a network of capillaries. 2 Each villus contains a lacteal. 3 The surface of each epithelial cell is covered with microvilli. 4 Villi increase the internal surface area of the small intestine. Which statements about the villi are important for the efficient absorption of glucose?

Which statements about xylem vessels are correct? 1 Xylem vessels have cells with cross walls. 2 Xylem vessels have thick walls with lignin. 3 Xylem vessels transport water and mineral ions.

Dodder is a plant that grows on other plants called hosts. The dodder plant connects to the host's vascular bundles. The dodder plant does not have green leaves or roots. What correctly describes the regions for translocation?

The diagram shows part of the human circulatory system. Which structure is the hepatic vein?

What is a feature of passive immunity?

The graph shows the change in the rate of breathing of an athlete. What causes the response during time period Y?

These are processes that occur in plants. 1 active transport 2 cell division 3 osmosis 4 transpiration. Which processes use energy from respiration?

What is the balanced equation for anaerobic respiration in yeast?

Which labeled organ has a major role in the assimilation of amino acids by converting them to proteins?

A toxin that is the same shape as a neurotransmitter prevents muscle contraction. Which statement explains why the toxin prevents muscle contraction?

The diagram shows the structure of the human eye. Which labelled part refracts light entering the eye?

A patient is injected with adrenaline. Which graph shows the expected changes to pulse rate and blood glucose concentration?

The diagram shows the shoot and root of a seedling, responding to gravity. Which row shows where the auxin accumulates and the effect of this in the shoot?

Which factors would increase the chance of antibiotic resistance developing? 1 regularly giving antibiotics to healthy livestock 2 only using antibiotics to treat bacterial infections 3 using several different antibiotics to treat an infection 4 using good personal hygiene to avoid infection

What is an advantage of using asexual reproduction in crop plants?

The graphs show the concentrations in the blood of four hormones involved in controlling the menstrual cycle. Which line represents FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone)?

The mitotic index of a tissue is the percentage of cells in the tissue that are dividing by mitosis. The table shows information about two tissue samples, X and Y. Which statement is correct?

Fruit flies can either have red eyes or white eyes. This is a sex-linked characteristic with the gene for eye colour located on the X chromosome. The allele for red eyes (R) is dominant over the allele for white eyes (r). A fruit fly with the genotype $X^RX^r$ was crossed with a fruit fly with the genotype $X^rY$. Which percentage of the offspring will have red eyes?

Which statement about variation is correct?

When in vitro fertilisation (IVF) is used in captive breeding programmes, these processes occur. 1 The egg cell is fertilised. 2 The egg cell is removed from an ovary. 3 The embryo is implanted into the uterus. 4 The sperm cells are added. In which order do these processes occur?
