The intake of oxygen by plants for respiration

No Marking scheme Marks


(a)
Like animals, plants also respire aerobically to obtain energy for metabolism . They derive
most their energy from cellular respiration .during cellular respiration, the plants cells take
in oxygen and release carbon dioxide
Based on the above statement, describe the intake of oxygen by the plants for respiration
S1-The intake occurs by diffusion mainly through stomata and lenticels 1
S2-Stomata can be found in epidermis of leaves. the stem of herbaceous plants 1
S3-Lenticels can be found on the stems and root of plants 1
Explanation
P1-When stomata open, they connect the air space (within the leave) to atmosphere 1
P2-Oxygen form the atmosphere diffuses into the air spaces
1
P3-then dissolves in the film of water around the mesophyll cells
1
P4-So the concentration of oxygen in the cells becomes lower than in the air spaces
1
P5-Thus, oxygen diffuse continuously form air space to the cell
1
P6-During daytime, carbon dioxide that is produced during respiration is used in
photosynthesis
P7-The excess carbon dioxide diffuses into the air spaces and then through stomata into 1 7
atmosphere

(c) Explain the relationship between the rate of photosynthesis and the rate of respiration in the
plant at points P, Q, R and S.

P1-In the dark / low light (intensity), only respiration occurs 1
P2-hence large quantity of CO2 is produced/released 1
P3-As light (intensity) increases the quantity of CO2 / produce decreases 1
P4because part of CO2 produced during respiration is used for photosynthesis 1
P5-sugar used in respiration more rapidly than it is produced in photosynthesis

P6- (At this point of light intensity) all the CO2 release from respiration is reused / equivalent
to CO2 used up during photosynthesis // no net gain or loss in CO2 / sugar produced
166

P3: to form oxyhaemoglobin (which is unstable.)
P4: Oxygen is carried (in form of oxyhaemoglobin) to the tissues (which have a
low partial pressure of oxygen.)
P5: The (unstable) oxyhaemoglobin breaks down into oxygen and haemoglobin
again.
P6: Oxygen (molecules are) transferred to the body cells

Transport of P7: Carbon dioxide binds (itself) to the haemoglobin


P8: (and is) transported in the form of carbaminohaemoglobin.
carbon dioxide P9: Carbon dioxide is (also) transported as dissolved carbon dioxide (in the blood
plasma.)
P10: Most of carbon dioxide is carried as bicarbonate ions (dissolved in the blood
plasma.)
P11: When the blood carrying carbon dioxide reaches the body cells, the carbon
dioxide diffuses into the blood plasma and combines with the red blood cells.
P12:Carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid.
P13:Carbonic anhydrase in the red blood cells catalyse the formation of carbonic
acid.
P14: The carbonic acid then dissociates into a hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. 169
