1.1 A unicellular organism that has no nucleus or other nuclear bound

organelles
1.2 A – Slime capsule
D – Nucleoid /DNA
G - Flagellum
1.3 Allows for movement so the bacterium can swim

feed and reproduce.
2.3 1 – None
2 – Cellular
3 – Prokaryotic
4 – Some are autotrophic, and others are heterotrophic
5 – Multicellular

 WEEK 2: ROLES IN MAINTAINING BALANCE IN THE ENVIRONMENT

1.1 The bread mould in the container placed on the window sill where it is
warm, will grow faster than the bread mould in the other three containers.

NOTE: must state the relationship between the two variables.

1.2 (a) Growth rate of bread mould

(b) Temperature

1.3 The warmer the temperature the faster the bread mould grow.

1.4 The following variables were kept constant:

- The type of bread

- The size of the slice of the bread
- The amount of water
- The same container

1.5 - Repeat the investigation

- Have more slices of bread
1.6 Percentage of bread slice covered by bread mould in the different
containers

Container Percentage covered by bread

mould

A 5

B 25

C 75

D 95

NOTE:

- The answer must be in a table format

- The table must have a heading

1.7

 Assessment criteria:
 Heading of the graph (both variables to be included)
 The bars must have the same width
 The spaces between the bard must be the same
 There must be a key/Each bar can be labelled
 The axes must be labelled (Y-axis: Percentage covered
 The scale of the Y-axis must be correct

 WEEK 3: DISEASES CAUSED & IMMUNITY

1. 1.1 Injection
Orally

1.2 Week 6

1.3 5 weeks

1.4 (Weeks) 7 – 9

2 2.1 Composition of the test specimen

2.2  Same amount of milk/agar/ garlic extract

 Same type of agar

 Same period/time to do the investigation

 Recordings done at the same time every day

 Same method of measuring the results

 Same environmental conditions/temperature

Mark first TWO only (Any 2)

2.3  The cooler temperature

 Prevents the growth of any other bacteria that may occur in

the environment

 Repeat the investigation

2.4
 Increase the number of test tubes used in the investigation

 Petri dish C with milk, E. coli specimen and garlic extract did
2.5
not show any signs of bacterial growth.

 This is due to the presence of allicin /antimicrobial

substance in the garlic extract

 Which destroyed the bacteria hence there was no growth in

 Petri dish C.

3 3.1 A substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and

provide immunity against one or several diseases

3.2 Novel coronavirus

3.3 That the co-circulation of these two diseases could place an additional
burden  on vulnerable populations and healthcare systems

3.4
Health workers
Older people

3.5 The body either will develop active immunity when the virus enters
the body  or passive immunity through a vaccine

3.6  Active immunity is when the virus enters the body and the
white blood cells produce antibodies in response
 These antibodies join onto the virus/antigen and render it
inactive
 Antibodies remain in the blood and can neutralise the same
pathogen in future infections
 Passive immunity is when a weakened form of the virus is
introduced into the body as an injection
 and antibodies are produced so that the pathogen can be
neutralised in future infections (Any 4)
