2020 Uace Bio I Guide

This document provides a marking guide for the UNEB P530/1 exam covering several sections: Section A lists multiple choice questions and their correct answers. Section B summarizes questions and answers on topics including capillary function, genetic variation, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium calculations, factors affecting decomposition, light and limiting factors on photosynthesis, nerve cell membranes and action potentials, and kidney function. The marking guide concludes with the end of the document.

SECTION B

41. (a) (i) Tissue fluid/interstitial fluid/intercellular fluid; accept extracellular fluid

(ii) at the arterial end of the capillary pressure is high; due to pumping action of the heart and
narrowness of the capillaries; the hydrostatic pressure forces the fluid part of the blood through the
capillary walls; into the intercellular space by ultrafiltration ;

(b) at the venous end of the capillary bed hydrostatic pressure is low; increased OP of the plasma
proteins in blood; causes tissue fluid to be drawn back into the capillaries; excess tissue fluid is drawn
into the lymph vessels;

(c) Plasma proteins; blood cells;

42.(a)(i) loss of alleles from one population and gain by another ;alters allele frequency for both; which
leads to increased genetic variation; in both populations; continued/regular gene flow makes gene pools
Similar; (BS 914)

(ii) this makes certain individuals within the population have an increased reproductive potential;
while others have decreased reproductive potential ;altering their allele frequency in subsequent
generations

(b) (i) p+q =1; q = 0.07/ p+0.07=1; p =1-0.07; p=0.93; NB ½ marks

(ii) Diabetic =q2; q2= (0.07x0.07); = 0.0049; NB ½ marks

(ii) Heterozygous/carriers = 2pq; = 2(0.93x0.07) = 0.13; NB ½ marks

43. (a) brings about decay; and recycling of nutrients;

(b) (i) lower oxygen content of the soil; promoting denitrification; which lowers nitrogen content
of the soil;

(ii) Reduces the moisture content of the soil; reducing the rate of decomposition; lowering
nitrogen content of soil;
(c) – causes decline in root growth/reduces plant growth;

-kills organisms; /kills microorganisms/mycorrhiza;

Lowers PH. of soil and water;

-promotes leaching of spoil minerals

-corrodes rocks;

Increases soSO4 and NO3 are deficient;

44. (a) (i) the rate of photosynthesis increases rapidly up to 3 arbitrary units+/- 0.5 of light intensity; and
then remains constant up to 10 arbitrary units;

(b) Rate of photosynthesis attains maximum at lower light intensity for curve A; because carbon
dioxide becomes a limiting factor; /Rate of photosynthesis attains a higher maximum for curve B
because carbon dioxide is no longer a limiting factor;

Photosynthesis has attained the highest possible rate;

(c) Carbondioxide; and temperature; become limiting factors Accept low temperature, low carbon
dioxide

(d) –excites electrons from chlorophyll for ATP formation;

- provides energy for photolysis of water; which releases H+ for reduction of NADP; providing
electrons to stabilize PSII;

45. (a) (i) the potential difference across the membrane of a nerve cell at rest; where the inside is
negatively charged relative to the outside;

(ii) This is a synapse between a motor neurone and a muscle; where the axon of a motor neurone
divides to form fine branches ending in a synaptic knob;

(iii) Action potentials only form at nodes of Ranvier in myelinated nerves; hence impulses jump from one
node to another;

(b) (i) the active pumping of sodium ions out of axon and potassium ions into the axon; making the
inside more negative relative to the outside;

(ii) Schwann cell; /neurilemma cell;

46. (a) (i) increases rapidly to a maximum; due to reabsorption of water/diffusion of ions; then
decreases rapidly; due to active reabsorption of solutes into the interstitial fluid;

(ii) The concentration of solutes increases rapidly; due to increased osmotic reabsorption of
water;
(b) Mammals are able to excrete hypertonic urine; and conserve water in the body;

(c) Insufficient production of ADH; resulting into little reabsorption of water from the collecting duct;
