Same, I completely went off on one and used the mammalian gaseous exchange system as an example for that 5 marker and talked about how cells are organised there...luckily looking at the rest of the paper, it was solid enough to almost discount the 5 marks.
1.
a. List three reasons why large animals, such as mammals, need a transport system. [3]
•
Small Surface Area:Volume ratio/Idea diffusion too slow;
•
High metabolic activity requires a lot of nutrients;
•
Cells near the surface can get the nutrients/nutrients used up by the time they reach cells deeper in the organism;
•
Transport system needed to supply cells deeper in the organism
b. Give the full name of the diagram used to measure electrical impulses. [1]

Electrocardiogram (trace);
c. Give the name of the labels A and B in the Insert. [2]
•
A - Sinoatrial Node/Pacemaker;
•
B - Atrioventricular Node;
d. Why is it important that the electrical impulse is delayed? [2]
•
Allows the blood to flow into the ventricles from the atria;
•
Increasing the blood pressure in the ventricles;
•
Causing the aortic/pulmonary valves to open;
e. Explain why the electrical impulse travels to the apex of the heart. [2]
•
To create the contraction of the ventricles from the bottom;
•
To push the blood up and out of the aorta/pulmonary artery;
2.
a. What is the name of the process of asexual reproduction in yeast cells? [1]
•
Budding/Binary Fission;
b. Outline the process of asexual reproduction in yeast cells. [2]

•
A bulge develops on the side of the cell;
•
Cell membrane remains intact/cell organelles move the the bud;
•
bud splits from the yeast cell to produce a genetically identical daughter cell;
c. Ignoring the number of scars on the diagram, calculate the number of times the yeast cell could reproduce. [2]

Mark for working - Surface Area of Yeast Cell / Area of Scar - (4*3.14*1.52)/(3.14*0.52);
•
Mark for answer - 36;
d. Explain why the yeast cell might not be able to reproduce to its potential. [2]
•
Scars are circular;
•
So can not occupy total surface area/spaces between circular scars;
or
•
Cell Cycle mainly in Interphase;
•
So yeast Cells may die before reproducing 36 times;

Stops it from collapsing during inhalation;
•
Allows the neck to bend without damaging trachea;
c. Comment on the data about surface area and volume of the body/lungs. [3]
•
Small Surface Area:Volume ratio
•
Insufficient for bodys need;
•
Need a specialised exchange surface;
•
Such as alveoli;
•
Which has a large surface area for more gaseous exchange;
Please note, these are only some of a wide range of answer. If you're answer isn't on here, it could still be correct.
For question 1, you could also state that large multicellular animals have a high demand of oxygen. As for question 6 (A) ligin is also waterproof which aids in adhesion of water molecules
Wish all my exams had an unofficial mark scheme to look at! March seems like such a long time away to wait for results..
I was wondering, how exactly do you know what the answers might be and do you copy the exam questions from memory? The chances are that the mark scheme maybe too broad in the range of answers that can be given, or that the mark scheme on here is too narrow.. Either way, its scary
