SECTION B
Q29a As the amount of bad cholesterol in the blood vessel increases, the
rate of blood flow decreases.
Q29b D. Blood vessel D has the highest amount of bad cholesterol build up
in it, leading to lowest rate of blood flow through the blood vessel.
This blood vessel has the highest chance of being clogged with
insufficient oxygen rich blood flowing to the heart, leading to a heart
attack.
Q30a Fruit of plant R has fruit wall that splits open when ripe. The seeds
inside plant R are then flung out with force, dispersing seeds by
splitting.
Q30b After the seeds of plant R are dispersed by splitting, some sweet-
smelling, juicy flesh stuck to the seeds attracts ants to eat it. Ants will
carry the seed further aways from the parent plant, reducing
competition for sunlight, space, water and minerals.
Q30c The ants would be able to feed their young in the nest.
Q31a C. C has the highest amount of dissolved oxygen, which likely means it
has the most underwater plants photosynthesising to produce
oxygen.
Q31b Plants need carbon dioxide to photosynthesise. Since substance Y
absorbs carbon dioxide, there would be less carbon dioxide available
for the underwater plants and underwater plants would
photosynthesise less, producing less dissolved oxygen. After a week,
the amount of dissolved oxygen is no longer enough for fishes to
respire, and they died.

Sweet nectar: structural adaptation

032a)
Closing of the leaf: behavioural adaptation
The sweet nectar attracts insects to plant V, which plant V can then trap
Q32b)
and obtain nutrients from for it to grow well.
This ensures that insects that pollinate_ the flowers do not get trapped in
Q32c)
the leaves of plant V.
Q33a) The balloon was filled with air which can be compressed.
When the rubber sheet is pulled, the volume of the sealed plastic bottle
increases. However, the volume of air in the sealed plastic bottle is fixed,
033b)
hence surrounding air enters the balloon through the straw to occupy
additional space inside the plastic bottle, inflating the balloons.
The presence of water on a metal block decreases temperature of metal
034a)
block at a faster rate.
The water droplets gain heat from metal block B and evaporated into
Q34b)
water vapour.
034c) Decrease temperature
L
of room/place block under the Sun.
The saliva on cat's body will gain heat from the cat's body to evaporate
034d)
into water vapour, thus reducing the heat on cat's body to keep cat cool.
Pesticides sprayed onto crops may not be washed away properly, leading
035a)
to poisoning of humans who consume it.
Washing vegetables with water mixed with baking soda is more effective
035b)
than washing with water only in removing pesticides.

When metal ring touches the wire maze, it forms a closed circuit, allowing
Q36b)
electricity to pass through. Hence bulb lights up and buzzer rings.
Q36c) Increase number of batteries.
Keeping the number of coils constant ensures that magnetic force of
Q37a)
electromagnet is constant, ensuring a fair test.
Q37b) increase number of coils of wire around steel rod/use lighter iron pins
The steel cans are magnetic while the plastic cans are non-magnetic.
Hence, the steel cans will be attracted to the electromagnet, separating it
Q37c)
from the plastic cans, travelling along the conveyor belt until it moves past
the electromagnet, where it will drop into the bin.
The distance between the steel cans and the electromagnet is too far for
Q37d)
the electromagnet to attract the steel cans.
When more slotted masses are added, the combined mass in the mass
Q38a) holder increases, increasing the pull force on the toy car, making it easier
to overcome the friction between the toy car and table.
There is friction present between the string and the edge of the table,
Q38b)
causing wear and tear of the string, leading it to break.

Q38c) Repeat experiment three times.
T. The temperature decrease of water in T is the least and T is able to
Q39a)
retain the highest temperature for the water out of the three materials.
Q39b) Water would reach room temperature.
There are air spaces between the sleeves and the hands. As air is a poor
· Q39d) - -conductor of heat, it slows down the heat gain from-the-hot coffee to the. -
hands, thus his hands felt less hot.
B. It has a larger volume of coffee which means it has more heat, hence
Q39cii) the ice cubes would gain heat faster from the hot coffee, causing it to melt
faster.
Q40a) Electrical energy ---+ kinetic energy
Q40b) Pollution is the release of harmful substances into the land, water or air.
Solar powered cars reduce dependence on fossil fuels, which is a finite
Q40c)
resource. / It is a renewable source of energy.
