Revision Set 1

The document contains questions about plants and the effects of smoking on fetal development. For plants, it asks about differences between two plants of the same species, the gas plants produce, what plants make using magnesium and nitrates. It also asks why spaces are important between cabbage plants. For smoking, it provides a graph showing birth mass for babies born to smokers vs non-smokers and asks about anomalous data points, conclusions that can be drawn, and ways to improve the reliability of the evidence.

2. Jackie finds some information about the effect of smoking on fetal development.
Look at the graph.
It shows the birth mass of:
* 16 babies born to non-smokers
* 16 babies born to smokers.
The graph also shows the gestation period. This is the time period between fertilisation of an
egg and the birth of a baby.
