b) Endoskeleton

c i) Endoskeleton / skeletal system

ii) 1. Supports body weight

2. protects internal organ of the body
3. maintains body shape
4. provides places for attachment of muscle
2 a) i) He cannot stand properly. His body weight is
not spread evenly over the pelvic girdle.

ii) Crutch

b) i) Endoskeletal and water buoyancy

ii) Its cannot move back to the sea. Its skeleton

cannot support body weight. The skeleton
will brake and it will die
3 a i) Mass of glass block

ii) Immersed in water or not

iii) Weight of the glass block

b i) 8N

ii) 5N
c) When the glass block is immersed in water part
of its weight is supported by the water buoyancy

d) The buoyancy of water provides support to the

aquatic vertebrates

4 a i) The cells of the plants absorb water and

swell. The water pressure causes the stem of
the plant to become rigid and turgid.

ii) Turgidity of cells

b i) Woody tissues

ii) Buttress roots

c i) Aquatic plant cannot stand upright in the

air because it stem is soft and light. It
become upright when it is supported by
water.

ii) Water buoyancy
