Answer sheet practice test.

Question 1

Cell wall - support the cell, structure, shape

[2]
Cytoplasm . Where metabolic reaction occur. Gives cell its shape. Keeps the
organelles in correct positions.
[2]
Palisade cell

[1]

Role of cell photosynthesise, make energy (from the sun)

[1]
Mitochondria make energy from (ATP). Sperm cell moves further/requires more
energy.
[2]
Leaf.

Question 3
(a)

(i)

A = (cell) wall

ignore cellulose
1
B = cytoplasm
1
(ii)

any one from:

accept has DNA instead of a nucleus, but not just has DNA

bacterial cell / it has no nucleus

allow no mitochondria

DNA free in cytoplasm

ignore size

has no vacuole / no vesicles

ignore strands of DNA

1
(b) (i)

yeast grows best / better / well or optimum temperature for yeast / more yeast present

allow yeast works best / better / well

1
(yeast) makes CO2 or respires / respiration
allow fermentation
1
(ii)

bacterium grows best / better / well / more bacteria present or optimum temperature for bacterium

ignore microorganisms / microbes

allow works / respires best / better / well
1
(bacterium) makes (lactic) acid
do not allow wrong acid
1
[7]
Question 4
(a)

(i)

A (cell) wall

1
B cytoplasm
1

C plasmid
1
(ii)

bacterium cell has cell wall / no nucleus / no mitochondria / plasmids present

accept its DNA / genetic material is not enclosed / it has no nuclear membrane
it = bacterium cell
accept converse for animal cell
ignore flagella
1
(iii)

any one from:

chloroplast

ignore chlorophyll

(permanent) vacuole

1
(b)

(Long tail) moves the sperm / allows the sperm to swim

1
towards the egg
allow correct reference to other named parts of the female reproductive system
1
(Mitochondria) release energy (for movement / swimming)
allow supply / produce / provide
1
in respiration
1
[9]
Question 5

1

(i)

A = cytoplasm

B = (cell) membrane
1
(ii)

nucleus

accept chromosome / DNA / genes

accept phonetic
1

(b)

3
[6]
Question 6
(a)

oxygen

allow O2 / O2
do not accept O2 or O
1
(b)

(i)

light

1
(ii)

chlorophyll

1
(iii)

decrease

1
(c)

any three from:

for respiration / energy

do not accept use energy for photosynthesis

to make cellulose / starch

accept named carbohydrate other than glucose

to make lipid / fat / oil

accept fatty acid / glycerol

to make protein

accept named protein / amino acid / named amino acid

to build big molecules from small molecules / metabolism

if no other marks awarded for making molecules allow 1 mark for growth / repair / new cells
3
[7]
Question 7
(a)

(i)

makes / produces / synthesises protein / enzyme

1
(ii) plant cell has nucleus / vacuole / chloroplasts / chlorophyll
or plant cell is much larger
It = plant cell
allow correct reference to DNA or chromosomes
allow plant cell has fewer ribosomes
allow cellulose (cell wall)
1
(b)

(i)

200

correct answer with or without working gains 2 marks

if answer incorrect, allow 1 mark for

or 100

or

2
(ii) bacterial cell is too small / bacterial cell about same size as a
mitochondrion / no room
ignore references to respiration
