- The diaphragm contracts and becomes flattened.

- The length of the thoracic cavity (top to bottom) is increased.

- The external intercostal muscles contact and the rib cage is lifted.

- The thoracic cavity is enlarged from side to side and from back to front.

- The total volume of the thoracic cavity increases.

- The pressure on the lungs/ interpleural pressure decreases

- Since the atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure on the lungs,

air rich in oxygen is drawn in through the air passages into the lungs.

- carbon dioxide levels in the blood increase

- chemoreceptors in the wall of the aorta is detects the imbalance in carbon dioxide levels

- *sends a nerve impulse to the medulla oblongata

- it then sends an impulse to the breathing muscles to contract and relax

- the breathing rate increases and heart rate

- More carbon dioxide is transported from the heart for exhalation

- rate of inhalation increase

- *oxygen levels in the blood increases and carbon dioxide in the blood decrease

QUESTION 3

3.1.1 Glomerular filtration/ ultra filtration (1)

3.1.2 C - Glomerulus E – Cavity of the Bowmans capsule (2)

3.1.3 Part labelled B is narrower than part labelled A. Narrow diameter of part B

therefore resist the flow of blood by slowing down the rate of blood flow.

This creates a higher blood pressure in part labelled C. The high blood

pressure thus generated leads to leakage of blood plasma with smaller particles

and other nitrogenous waste through the micro pores on the capillary

network at C. Blood cells, plasma proteins and other large solutes are left

behind in the blood. (Mark any 4 facts) (4)

3.1.4 Podocytes (1)

3.1.5 Presence of filtration slits between the podocytes act as selective filtersallowing

only small particles to pass through into the cavity of the bowmans capsule.

3.2.1 Logistic growth form (1)

3.2.2 Carrying capacity (1)

3.2.3 The arrows represent environmental resistances. The thick arrows indicate

the intensity of the environmental resistance, which limits population growth (3)

3.2.4 B – accelerating phase

C – equilibrium/ stationary phase (2)

3.2.5 - The growth rate of the population is slow because the population is small

- The individuals in the population are getting use to the environment

- The rate of reproduction is slow

- The individuals in the population are seeking mating partners

- Gestation period takes time before offspring are born to increase the population

size. (any 4) (4)

3.2.6 This will cause the population to become unstable, decreasing the carrying

capacity of the population caused by overgrazing. The farmer will not be able

sheep to other farms and allow the land to rest (any 3). (3)

2. Mark the grasshoppers with non –toxic paint on the upper thorax

and record the total caught as the first catch

3. Set the grasshopper free for 2 hours to allow them to mingle in the population

4. Catch another round of the grasshopper and record the total of the second

catch and the ones that were marked

5. Use the formula to determine the size of the population. (Mark first 4 only) (4)

3.3.3 The method of catching the grasshoppers and the mark (paint used) must

not change the behaviour of the grasshoppers

The time between the first and second catch must be brief to prevent

natality or mortality of the grasshopper population

QUESTION 4

When there is a shortage of water in the body due to sweating on a hot day or

due to diarrhoea.

The water concentration in the blood will be low.

Osmoreceptors situated in the hypothalamus are stimulated.

An impulse is sent to the Pituitary gland to secrete MORE ADH into the blood

ADH travels in the blood to the renal tubes of the nephron.

The renal tubes become more permeable to water.

More water is transported out of the renal tubes into the surrounding blood

vessels.

Water content of the blood increases

Less water remains in the renal tubes

The urine is more concentrated. [max 10]

Role of aldosterone in maintaining the salt balance in the blood.

When the sodium concentration in the blood is low.

Adrenal gland is stimulated.

More aldosterone is secreted

More sodium is reabsorbed from the renal tubes

Salt is moved to the blood capillaries

Sodium ions in the blood increases

Less sodium forms part of the urine. [max 7]

Criterion Relevance (R) Logical sequence (L) Comprehensive (c)

Generally All information provided is relevant to homeostatic control of water and salt due to a shortage
