Q1. Read the information in the passage.
|
Replacing a damaged heart valve can dramatically improve the blood circulation and the supply of oxygen to the body’s tissues. The operation to replace a heart valve is a long one during which the patient’s blood goes through a bypass machine.
Sometimes the artificial valve can fail to work. If the surface of the valve becomes rough, small blood clots can form on its surface then break away and be carried around the body by the blood.
|
Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of artificial heart valves.

1
join / clump RBCs together so too big to pass through capillary / block capillary
1
any one consequence: lack of O2 / food / blood supply to body cells or cells can’t respire
ignore ‘cells die’ / ‘person dies’ - look for cause
1
[3]

(b) any four from:
(oxygen) diffuses
1
has affinity for/combines with oxygen / forms oxy-haemoglobin
do not accept absorbed
1
in areas of high oxygen concentration
n.b. ‘pick up oxygen’ is stem of question
1
in conditions of low oxygen concentration it breaks down and releases the oxygen
low oxygen concentration can be implied e.g. active muscles
1
[10]
M4. (a) blood has red (blood) cells / haemoglobin
1
haemoglobin combines with / carries oxygen
ignore ‘mix’
NB Blood can form oxyhaemoglobin = 2 marks
1
(b) blood gains oxygen / becomes oxygenated (in the lungs)
idea of acquiring oxygen must be unambiguous
1
blood loses oxygen to the muscles / cells
1
because muscles are respiring (aerobically)
1
to provide energy (for exercise)
1
[6]
M5. (a) more concentrated
must be a comparison
1
than the cell / cytoplasm
accept more salty / solutes / ions
accept cell is less concentrated than solution for 2 marks
1
(b) (i) turgid
1
(ii) plasmolysed
accept flaccid
1
(c) any four from:
• water left the cells (in A)
• by osmosis
• from dilute to more concentrated solution
accept high to low water potential or from high to low water concentration
• via partially permeable membrane
• so cell membrane shrank away from cell wall
4
(d) water enters the cells (by osmosis)
allow 1 mark for:
1
they burst / lyse / lysis occurs
water leaves and cell shrinks (if they think it is hypertonic solution)
1
animal cells have no cell wall or plant cells have a cell wall
1
cell wall prevents lysis / bursting / allows turgidity
allow correct description
1
[12]
M6. (a) solution in soil is more dilute (than in root cells)
concentration of water higher in the soil (than in root cells)
1
so water moves from the dilute to the more concentrated region
so water moves down (its) concentration gradient or water moves from a high concentration of water to a lower concentration
1
concentration of ions in soil less (than that in root cells)
1
so energy needed to move ions
or
ions are moved against concentration gradient
the direction of the concentration gradient must be expressed clearly
accept correct reference to water potential or to concentrations of water
1
(b) any three from:
• movement of water from roots / root hairs (up stem)
• via xylem
• to the leaves
• (water) evaporates
• via stomata
3
M7. there is glucose in the dialysis fluid
1
so that glucose does not go out of the blood
or
so that blood glucose concentration unaffected / stays constant
1
there is no urea in the dialysis fluid
1
so that urea diffuses out of the blood into the dialysis fluid and is removed from the body
1
M8. (a) more energy needed,
for increased muscular activity
for 1 mark each
2
(b) increased sweat production,
evaporation of sweat cools body,
vasodilation OWTTE,
more heat loss (by radiation)
for 1 mark each

M9. Marks awarded for this answer will be determined by the Quality of Communication (QC) as well as the standard of the scientific response. Examiners should also refer to the information on page 5, and apply a ‘best-fit’ approach to the marking.
0 marks
No relevant content.
Level 1 (1 – 2 marks)
There is a brief description of kidney function including a mention of pituitary gland or hormones but roles may be confused.
Level 2 (3 – 4 marks)
There is a clear description of kidney function in relation to fluctuations in blood water levels and the roles of the pituitary gland or hormone is mentioned with correct role.
Level 3 (5 – 6 marks)
There is a clear and detailed scientific description of kidney function in relation to fluctuations in blood water levels and of the roles of the pituitary gland and ADH.
examples of biology points made in the response:
• if water content too low, ADH released
• from pituitary gland
• into the blood
• (causing) kidney reabsorbs more water
• more concentrated / small volume urine produced
• if water content too high, ADH lowered / not produced
• less water reabsorbed by kidney
• more dilute / larger volume urine produced
full marks may be awarded for detailed description of either water loss or gain
