1 markA student sets up a photosynthesis experiment.
A plant with striped leaves (similar to the one shown below) was kept in bright light for four hours.
A leaf was removed from the plant and treated with ethanol in hot water to remove chlorophyll before iodine was used to test for starch.
Which diagram shows the result of the test?

1 markWhich of the following options is the best explanation for the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll...
transfers light energy from the Sun because it has magnesium ions
transfers chemical potential energy from sunlight into organic molecules which can be used to synthesise carbohydrates such as glucose
transfers light energy from the Sun into chemical energy in inorganic molecules which can be used for growth
transfers light energy into chemical potential energy in glucose molecules which are used in the synthesis of other carbohydrates

1 markA student sets up an experiment to measure the rate of oxygen production of an aquatic plant when it is photosynthesising.
The student repeated the experiment several times to calculate the average amount of oxygen collected.
Which two factors should be kept constant during the student’s experiment?
The size of the funnel and beaker.
The size of the aquatic plant and time exposed to light.
The size of the aquatic plant and the amount of water in the beaker.
The size of the aquatic plant and the amount of gas in the measuring cylinder.

| B | cellulose to build cell walls | fats and oils for energy storage | starch for storage |
| C | sucrose to be transported around the plant | fats and oils for energy storage | cellulose for storage |
| D | sucrose to be transported around the plant | starch to build cell walls | cellulose for storage |
