Predicted Questions and Answers –

CSEC Integrated Science Paper 2 (2025)


Question 1: Environmental Science – Renewable Energy
1. (a) Define the term 'renewable energy'.

Renewable energy refers to energy obtained from sources that are naturally replenished on
a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat.

2. (b) Explain TWO advantages of using renewable energy sources over non-renewable
sources.

1. Renewable energy produces minimal or no greenhouse gas emissions, helping to reduce


air pollution and global warming.
2. It is sustainable and not depleted with use, unlike fossil fuels which are finite.

Question 2: Human Biology – Immune System and Vaccines


3. (a) Describe the main functions of the human immune system.

The immune system defends the body against pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. It
does so by recognizing harmful invaders and deploying white blood cells and antibodies to
neutralize or destroy them.

4. (b) Explain how vaccines contribute to immunity.

Vaccines introduce a weakened or inactive form of a pathogen, prompting the body to


produce antibodies. This prepares the immune system to respond quickly and effectively if
the actual pathogen is encountered.

Question 3: Energy and Physics – Kinetic Energy


5. (a) Define 'kinetic energy' and give an example.

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion. For example, a
moving car or a flying bird has kinetic energy.

6. (b) A 2 kg object is moving at a velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy = ½ × mass × velocity² = ½ × 2 × 3² = 1 × 9 = 9 Joules


Question 4: Scientific Method and Experimentation
7. (a) Outline the steps involved in conducting a scientific experiment.

1. Identify the problem/question.


2. Formulate a hypothesis.
3. Design an experiment, including variables.
4. Collect data systematically.
5. Analyze data and draw conclusions.
6. Report and review results.

8. (b) Explain the importance of controlling variables in an experiment.

Controlled variables ensure that only the independent variable affects the results. This
improves the accuracy, validity, and reliability of the experiment.

Question 5: Experimental Design – Photosynthesis


9. Suggest ONE experiment a student could perform to investigate the effect of light on the
rate of photosynthesis.

Place an aquatic plant such as Elodea in water and vary the light intensity using a lamp at
different distances. Count the number of oxygen bubbles released in one minute as a
measure of photosynthesis rate.

10. Outline the procedure and identify the variables.

Procedure:
1. Place plant in water.
2. Shine lamp at 10 cm, count bubbles for 1 minute.
3. Repeat at 20 cm, 30 cm, etc.
4. Keep temperature and CO₂ concentration constant.
Variables:
- Independent: light distance/intensity
- Dependent: bubbles per minute
- Controlled: temperature, CO₂, time

Question 6: Nutrition and Health


11. (a) Define the term 'balanced diet'.

A balanced diet includes appropriate amounts of all essential nutrients—carbohydrates,


proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water—required for healthy body function.

12. (b) State TWO effects of a poor diet on a teenager's health.


1. Nutritional deficiencies such as anemia (iron deficiency).
2. Poor concentration and low energy levels, which can affect school performance.

13. (c) Suggest TWO ways schools can promote better nutrition.

1. Provide healthy meal options in the cafeteria.


2. Implement nutrition education programs.
