Present the results in the form of simple diagrams,


charts, graphs or tables. Include calculations where
necessary.

Discussion

Discuss, analyse and interpret the data obtained, then


determine the relationship between the manipulated
variable and responding variable.

Conclusion

The production of extracellular enzymes


1 The nucleus contains DNA which carries the information for the synthesis of
enzymes.
2 Proteins are synthesised at the ribosomes.
3 The synthesised proteins travel through the rough ER.
4 The protein departs from the rough ER in vesicles that bud off from the membranes
of the rough ER.
5 These transport vesicles fuse with the Golgi apparatus.
6 The proteins are then modified in the Golgi apparatus.
7 Secretory vesicles containing these proteins bud off from the Golgi apparatus
and fuse with the plasma membrane before releasing the proteins as enzymes
outside the cells.

The mechanism of photosynthesis

During the light reaction,


chlorophyll captures light
energy which excites the
electrons. The electrons
leave the chlorophyll
molecules.
Light energy splits water
molecules (photolysis of
water) into hydrogen ions
and hydroxyl ions.

Hydrogen ions combine


with electrons released
by the chlorophyll molecules
to form hydrogen atoms.
ATP molecules are also
formed.

In the dark reaction,


hydrogen atoms are used
to fix carbon dioxide in a
series of reactions catalysed
by photosynthetic enzymes.
CH2O is formed.
6 units of CH2O combine to
form one molecule of
glucose.

Each hydroxyl ion loses an


electron to form a hydroxyl
group.
The electron is received by
a chlorophyll molecule.
The hydroxyl groups
combine to form water and
oxygen.

When submerged plants die and


decompose, their organic matter is
converted into humus at the pond base.
The shallower condition becomes
more suitable for the growth of
floating plants such as Lemna sp.
and Eichornia sp.
The addition of more organic matter to
the pond base causes the pond to
become shallower.
The floating plants are replaced by
emergent (amphibious) plants such
as sedges and cattails.
When emergent plants die, their
decomposed remains add to the
sediments at the base of the pond.
The shallow condition of the pond
favours the growth of herbaceous
plants.

is

Eutrophication is the artificial nutrient enrichment of an aquatic system with organic matter
or inorganic nutrients which cause the excessive growth of aquatic plant life.
1 Excess nutrients cause the rapid growth of algae (algal bloom) in a lake.
2 Algae consume a lot of oxygen and block sunlight penetration.
3 Photosynthesis decreases further the oxygen level in the lake.
4 Algae die without being consumed because they grow faster than their consumers.
5 Photosynthetic organisms die and organic matter accumulates at the bottom of the
lake.
6 Dead organic matter is a food source for microorganisms such as aerobic bacteria.
7 Aerobic bacteria use up and deplete the oxygen content in the water.
8 Aquatic organisms compete for oxygen. This results in a high biochemical oxygen
demand (BOD).
9 Low concentration of oxygen kills fish.

The effects of global warming


Melting of polar ice caps and glaciers causes sea levels to rise and subsequently floods
in low-lying areas.
Droughts occur in more areas and this leads to a drop in crop yields.
Changes the wind direction and distribution of rainfall. Affects agricultural activities.
Spread of disease-carrying vectors such as the vector for dengue fever.

The effects of ozone depletion


Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation leads to higher risks of skin cancer,
cataracts and sunburns.
UV light weakens the immune system.
UV light reduces nutrient contents in soil and this decreases crop yields.
UV light damages chlorophyll and reduces photosynthesis in plants.
UV light kills phytoplankton which affects marine food chains.
Ozone depletion leads to an increase in Earths temperature.
