The diagram shows some effects of global warming including rising sea levels flooding coastal cities and melting glaciers and ice caps raising sea levels further. Photosynthesis consists of light-dependent and light-independent reactions. The light-dependent reactions use energy from sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH which provide energy for the light-independent reactions to incorporate hydrogen into GALP. When a dead animal decomposes, an area called a cadaver decomposition island forms. This island shows succession as different species of decomposers break down and consume the remains at different stages, increasing biodiversity in the area.

2 Chloroplasts are involved in the light-dependent and the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis. (Total for Question 2 = 13 marks) 3 Photosynthesis consists of the light‑dependent and light‑independent reactions. Photosynthesis produces GALP. A molecule of GALP contains hydrogen. (a) Explain how the light‑dependent reactions enable hydrogen to be incorporated into GALP. (4)

4 When a dead animal (cadaver) decomposes, an area called a cadaver decomposition island can form. The photograph below shows a cadaver decomposition island.
Below are two statements about cadaver decomposition islands.
1. The formation of a cadaver decomposition island is an example of
succession. 2. Cadaver decomposition islands increase the biodiversity of an area.
**Using the information in the photograph and your own knowledge,
explain these two statements. (5) (Total for Question 4 = 5 marks)
