 STANDARD TEST (SCIENCE F3)-ANSWER SCHEME
1. (a) i. J: Hydrostatic skeleton
K: Endoskeleton
L: Exoskeleton

(b)

2. (a) i. Tar
ii. Carbon monoxide
(b) Thin wall, rich with blood capillaries
(c) i. Nicotine
Ii. Miscarriage/mental retardation/premature birth

3. a) X: auditory canal
Y: cochlea
Z: semicircular canal

b) X: transmits sound waves to the eardrum

Y: detects and changes sound vibrations into impulses
Z: helps to balance the body

4. (a) Salt

(b) i. The fine salt in beaker Q

ii. The fine salt has a bigger surface area which increases the rate at which it dissolves in the distilled
water.

(c) 1. Heat the mixture

2. Add more distilled water into the beaker
3. Crush the coarse salt into powder

5. (a) Fulcrum

(b) i. First class lever

ii. The fulcrum is located between the effort and the load.

(c) Load × load arm = Effort × effort arm (P)

10 kg × 1.2 m = 12 kg × effort arm (P)
Effort arm (P) = 10 kg × 1.2 m
12 kg
= 1.0 m

 (d) Scissors /Pliers/See-saw/Claw hammer/Beam balance

6 (a) i. float, less dense than water

ii. sink, denser than water

(b) i. The submarine will sink when the density increases.

Sea water flows into the ballast tanks and the submarine become denser.

ii. Density = mass / volume

Mass = density x volume
= 8.90 g/cm3 x (4x3x5)cm3
= 534g

(c) Blood components can be separated because each components has different density
Plasma is less dense than erythrocytes/Erythrocytes denser than plasma/

7 (a) i.

Right
atrium

ii. Vena cava has valve

The valve will close when the blood enter the heart

iii. Oxygen cannot be transported to vital organs

The organs will damage as the cells die.

iv. Consume low fat/cholesterol food./ regular exercise

reduce the cholesterol level in the blood

(b) i. water droplets

ii. Blue change to pink
iii. A
higher humidity because it is shady
the shade prevent direct exposure to sunlight,
therefore lowers the rate of transpiration
