K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2007PP2QN08

Describe causes and methods of controlling water pollution

Picture
answers
  • It is addition of substance into water that may cause harm to organisms and are disruptive to ecosystem.
  • The causes of water pollution include:
  • Industrial effluents that may be toxic chemicals which may kill the aquatic organisms. It can be controlled by treating the effluents before discharging them.
  • Hot water that reduces concentration of oxygen killing the animals. It is controlled by placing high penalties on factories discharging hot water.
  • Oil spillage from oil tankers that reduces oxygen in water, penetration of light intensity and clog feathers of marine birds. It can be controlled by regular servicing of oil tankers.
  • Domestic effluents that include:
  • Untreated sewerage that causes water borne diseases. It can be controlled by treating sewerage before being discharged.
  • Detergents that cause eutrophication causing reduced oxygen concentration. It is controlled by banning phosphate based detergents.
  • Agricultural effluents that include:
  • Pesticides and herbicides that have heavy metals that they may cumulates along the food chain killing the higher animals. It is controlled by use of biological control of pests. 
  • Inorganic fertilizers that have nitrates and sulphates that cause eutrophication is controlled by use of organic fertilizers.
  • Silting due to soil erosion reduces penetration of light to the plants and clog respiratory surfaces of animals. It is controlled by proper methods of soil erosion and proper farming methods.

K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2007PP2QN07

Describe the structure and functions of the various parts of the human ear

Picture
answers
The ear is an organ involved in perceiving sound and maintaining body balance and posture. It is made of the following sections
Pinna – That is funnel shaped structure made of skin and cartilage. It receives sound waves and directs them to the ear tube.
External/auditory meatus – That is a canal lined with air and wax. It allows passage of sound waves to the middle ear. The hairs and wax trap dust particles that enter the ear.
Tympanic membrane – That is a thin flexible sheet-like structure receives sound waves and pass the vibration to the ossicles.
Middle ear that is composed of Tiny bones known as ossicles – They are anvil and incus. They amplify vibration from the tympanic membrane.
Eustachian tube – That connects the ear to the nasal cavity. It balances pressure on both sides of the tympanic membrane.
Oral window – That is a thin flexible membrane that opens into the inner ear. it receives vibrations from the ossicles and passes them to the inner ear.
Inner ear that is compost of;
Vestibular apparatus- That are the semicircular canals, utricles and saccules. They help in maintenance of body balance and posture.
Cochlea – That is a coiled structure that has sensory cells for hearing. It connected to the auditory nerve that is involved in transmission of sounds to the brain

K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2007PP2QN06

In the experiment to determine the effect of ringing on the concentration of sugar in phloem a ring of bark from the stem of a tree was cut and removed. The amount of sugar in grammes per 16cm3 piece of bark above the ring was measured over a 24 hour period. Sugar was also measured in the bark of a similar stem of a tree which was not ringed. The results are shown in the table below.
Picture
(a) Using the same axes, plot a graph of the amount of sugar against time
(b) At what time was the amount of sugar highest in the
(i) Ringed stem
(ii) Normal stem? 
(c) How much sugar would be in the ringed stem if it was measured at 0345hours? 
(d) Give reasons why there was sugar in the stems of both trees at 06 45 hours
(e) Account for the shape of the graph for the tree with ringed stem between:
(i) 06 45 hours and 15 45 hours 
(ii) 15 45 hours and 00 45 hours 
answers
Picture
(b)(i) 15: 45
(ii) 12:45
(c) 0.79 + 0.02 grammes
(d) The food that had been manufactured the previous day had been converted to soluble sugars and was being translocated to other parts of the plant.
(e)0645 hours and 15 45 hours
There was low concentration of sugars early in the morning as there was little translocation
As day progresses the light intensity increases and more food is manufacture thus more translocation increasing concentration of sugars
(ii)15 45 hours and 0045 hours
The light intensity is decreasing reducing rate of photosynthesis. Less food is manufactured hence less is translocation
As it turns dark there is no photosynthesis reducing concentration of sugars translocated.
