Explain how the following factors affect the rate of photosynthesis:
(a) Concentration of carbon (iv) oxide (b) Light intensity
ANSWERS
​(a) Rate of photosynthesis increases as CO2 concentration increases up to a certain level/ optimum level and ( vise versa)Reverse:

K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2009PP1QN17
Explain why plants do not require specialized excretory organs
ANSWERS
Some wastes e.g gases easily diffuse out Waste products are mainly made from carbohydrate and hence are not as harmful as proteineous materials/ waste products are formed slowly / little accumulation of wastes/ plants are leas active/ some waster products ( such as 02 and are usable- recycled; some waste products are store in non- toxic forms in leaves, flowers, fruits and old bark.

(ii) Water reabsorption by blood capillaries from renal tubules/ absorption of water in colour dicututary/ canal/ gut movement of water from cell to cell in animals.
K.C.S.E Biology Q & A - MODEL 2009PP1QN13
Distinguish between diffusion and active transport
ANSWER
In diffusion molecules move from a highly conc. Region to a lowly conc. Region while in active transport molecules move from a lowly concentration region to a highly concentration region; on diffusion molecules move along conc. gradient while in active transport molecules move against conc. gradient. No energy is required in diffusion while energy is required in active transport/ active requires carrier molecules while carrier molecule not required in diffusion;
