Great have MUST be taken to ensure that the information herein does not reach the candidates either directly or indirectly.
 
Each candidate require the following;
  • One table spoonful of millet soaked for about 50 minute labeled M.
  • Measuring cylinder
  • 6 Labels
  • Thermometer
  • Means of timing (Stopwatch)
  • 0.1M Hcl labeled solution L
  • Four clean test tubes
  • Pestle and mortar
  • Scarpel/razor blade

MARKING SCHEME

  1.                              
    1.                    
      1. Solution turns blue – black /blue/black
      2. Indicates presence of starch in the solution
    2.                    
      1. blue colour remains/persists/No observable colour change/No change in colour
      2. Absent of reducing sugars
    3.            

      Test tube

      Observation

      Conclusion

      C

      D

      Colour change to yellow/orange/brown

      Acc.colour change to green

      No colour change/blue

      Colour remains/persists

      Present of reducing sugars

      Green colour tied to little amount of reducing sugar

      Absence of reducing sugars

    4. C – Starch solution converted/hydrolysed to reducing sugars; the 30 minutes allowed hydrolysis of starch by solution K.
      D – The starch solution was not hydrolysed; hence absence of reducing sugar after 30 minutes; solution L prevented the hydrolysis by K.
    5.                    
      1. This is the human body temperature/I is the best temperature for human enzymes/favourable temperature/optimum temperature
      2. K – amylase enzyme/diastase
        L – Hydrochloric acid/enzyme inhibitor
  2.                      
    1. Liver
    2.                        
      1. Liver is responsible in control/regulation of blood sugar; using hormones insulin and glucagon.
      2. Liver synthesis bile from old red blood cells; bile is required in emulsification of fats.
    3.                  
      1. D1 - Rapid/fast effervescence/bubbling/fizzing
                  D2 – No effervescence/bubbling/fizzing
      2. Detoxification
        (Poisonous H2O2 is broken to water and oxygen) in presence of enzyes catalase
      3. D1 – presence of enzyme catalase; converts poisonous hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen
        D2 – Absence of enzyme catalase; boiling/heating denatures the enzyme; hence no reaction took place.
    4. Liver cirrhosis
      Hepatitis A or B Acc/Hepatitis
      Jaundice
  3.                    
    1. A – Thoracic vertebra rej . Thoracic bone
      B - Lumbar vertebrae rej. Lumbar alone
      C - Humerus
    2. Abdominal region acc.lumbar region
    3.                      
      • Long transverse processes
      • Short broad neural spine
      • Extra processes/metapophysis
      • Large centrum.
    4.                    
      1. Identity – Neural spine
        Significance – Increase surface area for attachment of muscles.
    5.                      
      1. Hinge joint
        Reason – Presence of condyles/grooves
        Which articulate with depression of next bone
