Question 2 :

No. Questions Marks Student notes

2 Lemna minor is a species of free-floating aquatic plants from the duckweed family Lemnaceae. The plants grow mainly by vegetative reproduction: two daughter plants bud off from the adult plant. An experiment is carried out to investigate the effect of abiotic factor such as pH on Lemna sp. growth. Experiment is done under controlled conditions: 12 hours a day light exposure and using the same Knop’s solution. Petri dish is filled with 20 ml Knop’s solution with different pH value and 5 Lemna sp. each. The Knop’s solution is treated by adding acid or alkali to achieve the pH value needed. ** Knop’s solution is a solution which contains essential nutrient for plants growth.

A group of students conducted an experiment to study the effect of light intensity on the population distribution of Lichen on the tree trunk. He placed a 10 cm x 10 cm transparent quadrat on the East-facing surface of the tree trunk. He counted the number of squares that contained half or more than half of the areas covered by the Lichen. Square with less than half of the covered areas were not included. The procedures were repeated for the surfaces that face the direction of North (N), south (S) and west (W). Figure 1 shows how a quadrat is placed on the tree trunk. Each small square represent 1 cm2.

2. Population of Lichen / The total surface area covered by Lichen is low at south direction which receives low light intensity.

3. Population of Lichen / The total surface area covered by Lichen is higher at east direction than at the south direction because Lichen at east direction receives high light intensity so rate of photosynthesis is higher.

Transpiration is the evaporation of water from a plant to the surroundings. The rate of transpiration

is affected by environmental factors such as temperature.

A group of students carried out an experiment to study the effect of temperature on the rate of

transpiration. Diagram 1 shows the set up of the apparatus. An air bubble was trapped in the

capillary tube. The apparatus was placed in an air-conditioned room at 20oC.

The time taken for the air bubble to move a distance of 10 cm was recorded. The experiment was

repeated for a second time to get average readings.

The experiment is repeated by placing the apparatus at three more different temperatures: an air-

conditioned room at 25oC , an air-conditioned room at 30oC and in a non air-conditioned room at

35oC.

between the rate of transpiration and temperature.

Able to explain the relationship between the rate of

transpiration and temperature based on the following

aspects.

P1 – State the relationship

P2 – kinetic energy of water

P3 – evaporation

Sample Answer

When the temperature increases, the rate of

transpiration increases. When the temperature

increases, kinetic energy of water molecules (in the leaf)

increases, causes the rate of evaporation increase.

(g) Based on the result of this experiment, state the operational

definition for process of transpiration.

Able to define operationally the process of transpiration

based on the following aspects:

P1 – water loss from plant at different places

P2 – Air bubble in capillary tube move at 10 cm

P3 – The rate of transpiration is influenced by temperature

Sample Answer

Transpiration is a process where water is lost from the

plant when it is placed at different temperature which

causes the air bubble in capillary tube move a distance

of 10 cm. The rate of transpiration is influenced by the

temperature.

(h) If the surface of the leaves of a plant at temperature of 35 oC

following aspects

P1 : Correct prediction

P2 : Effect

P3 : Reason

Sample Answer

Time taken for air to move a distance of 10 cm is more

than 10 minutes. Rate of transpiration decreases
