`
1 (a) Explain what is meant by the term limiting factor and explain how knowledge of limiting
factors is used to increase crop yields in glasshouses(10)

b) Describe and explain the structure of ATP and how it is used as an energy currency.(6)

2 (a) The link reaction and Krebs cycle take place in the mitochondrion.

The main stages of the link reaction and Krebs cycle are listed in Table 4.1.

They are not listed in the correct order.

Table 4.1

stage description of stage

A acetyl group combines with coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA

B citrate is formed

C hydrogen atoms are accepted by NAD and FAD

E pyruvate enters the mitochondrial matrix

F acetyl group is formed

G acetyl CoA enters Krebs cycle

H ATP is made by substrate-linked phosphorylation

I pyruvate is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated

J acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate

K citrate is decarboxylated and dehydrogenated

 Complete Table 4.2 to show the correct order of the stages.

Three of the stages have been done for you.

(c) Carbon dioxide is removed from compounds in the link reaction and Krebs cycle by
decarboxylation.

(i) State the total number of molecules of carbon dioxide removed in the link reaction and

Krebs cycle for each molecule of glucose respired.

.......................................................... [1]

(ii) In a mammal, carbon dioxide diffuses from cells into the blood to be transported to the
lungs.

Suggest why carbon dioxide is transported in the blood mainly as hydrogen carbonate
ions and not as carbonic acid.
