QUESTIONS

You are provided with visking tubing a solution labelled E, Iodine solution labelled solution F. Benedict’s solution labelled solution L, and a piece of thread.
Tie one end of the visking tubing tightly using the thread provided. With the help of a dropper put 10ml of the solution labelled E into the visking tubing. Tie the other end of the visking tubing tightly.
Ensure that there is no leakage at both ends of the visking tubing. Wash the outside of the visking tubing with water. Place the visking tubing in a 100ml beaker. Add distilled water into the beaker to reach the level of the liquid in the visking tubing. Allow the setup to stand for 30 minutes or more.

MARKING SCHEME

You are provided with visking tubing a solution labelled E, Iodine solution labelled solution F. Benedict’s solution labelled solution L, and a piece of thread.
Tie one end of the visking tubing tightly using the thread provided. With the help of a dropper put 10ml of the solution labelled E into the visking tubing. Tie the other end of the visking tubing tightly.
Ensure that there is no leakage at both ends of the visking tubing. Wash the outside of the visking tubing with water. Place the visking tubing in a 100ml beaker. Add distilled water into the beaker to reach the level of the liquid in the visking tubing. Allow the setup to stand for 30 minutes or more.

Using 2ml in a test tube in each case test for the food substance in the liquid outside the visking tube using. (6mks)

TEST	PROCEDURE	OBSERVATION	CONCLUSION
Iodine solution (Solution f)	To 1cm³of solution add 2 drops of iodine solution.	The colour of iodine remains	Starch absent
Benedicts solution (Solution L)	To 2cm³ of solution add an equal amounts of Benedicts solution and gently heat	Colour of Benedicts solution changes from blue – green- yellow – brown-red	Reducing Sugar present

Using 2ml in a test tube in each case test for the food substance in the contents of the visking tubing using. (3mks)

TEST	PROCEDURE	OBSERVATION	CONCLUSION
Iodine solution solution (f)	To 1cm³ of solution add 2 drops of iodine solution	The colour of iodine changes to blue- black	Starch present.
Benedict’s solution (Solution L)	To 2cm³ of solution add an equal amounts of Benedict’s solution and gently heat	Colour of Benedicts solution changes from blue-yellow-orange	Reducing Sugar present.

½ mrk for each correct answer.

Account for your results in a and b above. (4mks)
- glucose diffused across the visking tubule since it is smaller in size; compared to the starch. Hence the test for reducing sugars was positive
Highlight the role of the physiological process demonstrated here (1mk)
- Absorption of mineral salts from the soil by the plants/digested food/gaseous exchange in plants and animals/removal of nitrogenous wastes/Translocation of food in the plants.

The photograph below is of mammalian heart. Study it and answer questions that follows

Name the parts labelled D and E. (2mks)
- D longitudinal septum; septum;
- E Left ventricle
State the role of part D. (1mk)
- Separates the left side from the right side of the heart hence preventing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
Account for the structural differences between the parts marked C and E. (3mks)
- E is more muscular than C;E pumps blood to the rest of the body which is a longer distance while C pumps blood to the ventricle which is a shorter distance.
State the function of
1. Valve A-Tricuspid
2. Prevent back flow of blood when the ventricles contract. (1mk)
Name the part marked C. (1mk)
- Left Auricle/atriaum

Name the blood vessel marked H. (1mk)
- Aorta

State two fuctional differences between the arteries and the veins (2mks)

arteries	veins
Carry blood away from the heart	Carry blood toward the heart
Blood under high pressure	Blood under low pressure
Carry oxygenated blood except pulmonary artery	Carry deoxygenated blood except pulmonary vein

State 3 structural adaptations of the heart (3mks)

Cardiac muscles which are myogenic

Septum prevent mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood

Coronary artery which provide nutrients and oxygenated blood to heart muscles

Coronary vein carry nitrogeneous waste and deoxygenated blood to heart muscles

Left ventricle thicker than right ventricle as it pump blood to all body parts

Study the following illustration of various mammalian teeth and answer the questions that follow.

Identify the teeth. (4mks)
- A Premolar B Molar C Incisor D Canine

Complete the table below. (8mks)

Tooth	Function	Adaptation
A	Crushing and grinding food	Has, ridges and cusps large surface area for grinding
B	Crushing and grinding.	Has ridges and cusps Has three roots for firm anchorage Classified to provide hard grinding surface.
C	Cutting and biting food/laterally flattened	Chisel shaped for cutting One root for firmly attachment into the jaw
D	Seizing prey and reaping off fresh	Conical shaped/pointed tip for seizing prey and reaping off fresh one root for anchorage into the jaw

Write the dental formula of an adult human being. (1mk)
- ²/₂ c ¹/₁ pm ²/₂ m ³/₃ = 32
Distinguish between heterodont and homodont animals. (1mk)
- Heteredont are animals with differentiated teeth (Incisor, Canines premolar and molars, while homodont are animals with teeth that are similar.
