MARKS

SCORING CRITERIA

NUM

Able to label the structures P and Q

Suggested answer:
P: Phospholipid bilayer
Q: Carrier protein
R: Hydrophilic head
S: Hydrophobic tail

1

Correct all:3m
Correct 2-3: 2m
Correct 1:1m

1(a) (ii)

Able to state one characteristics of the structure Q

Suggested answer:

PI: It consists ofpolar head that gives it the hydrophilic property

and a pair of non-polar tails that gives it the hydrophobic

property.

P2: The (phospholipid) bilayer is dynamic/not static

P3: The hydrophilic heads of the outer layer face the extracellular
fluid/exterior of the cell//The hydrophilic heads of the inner
layer face the cytoplasmicfluid/interior of the cell.

Any 1

1(a) (iii)

Able to name the process ofthe movement of substances across

the plasmamembrane through P freely and give an example of

substance.

Suggested answer:
Process: Osmosis// simple diffusion
Substance: Water//small molecules such as Oxygen/Carbon
dioxide/lipid soluble molecules

1

Able to explain why Amino acid moleculesare transported across

the plasma membrane into the cell throughthe process shown in
Diagram 1.1.
Suggestedanswer:

PI:Amino acids are water-soluble molecules//amino acid are

insoluble in lipid

P2: They cannot move / pass through the phospholipid bilayer of

the plasma membrane freely.

1(c)

Able to name the process and explain how it is happened.

Answer

F-

Active transport

PI - Iodine ion binds to the one side of active site of a carrier

protein
P2 - ATP is bonded to the another side of a carrier protein

1
4
1

P3 - ATP split and energy is released

P4 - Carrier protein changes the shape and carry iodine ion into
the cell
