BIOLOGY FORM 3 PAPER 1
TERM 3 2021
MARKING SCHEME
1. (a)Autotrophic nutrition; show alternation of generation; Limited movement; Limited excretory
products/unspecialized respiratory structures; Localized growth;
(b)having brightly coloured flowers; scented flowers; protandry;protagyny;self sterility;
heterostyly;
2( a)Complete metamorphosis - eggs hatch into larvae while in incomplete metamorphosis hatch
into nymphs which resemble the adult;
Complete metamorphosis has four stages; egg, larvae, pupa and adult while in incomplete
metamorphosis has three stages; egg, nymph and adult.
(b)To allow for growth of the insect;
3a) Arachnida;
b) Spider/scorpion/tick/mite;
c) Protoctista /protista;
4 Alcohol/ethanol; Carbon (IV) oxide; Energy/Adenosine Triphosphate;
5 - To increase supply of oxygen to the tissues;
- The oxygen is used to oxidize lactic acid (to carbon (IV) oxide, water and energy);
6 Ovary /Anther;
7 (a)This is the study of the interrelationship between organisms and their environment
(b)The maximum population of a species/Total number of organisms that a population
habitat/area/region/ecosystem can support or Total number of population of a species a given
1. ( habitat/area/region/ ecosystem can support without depleting available resources. Rej. If
b different species
)
8 Acrosome /Lysosome contain enzyme to digest membrane of the ovum;
- Numerous mitochondria to provide energy for movement;
- Long tail for faster movement;
9 a) nuclear pore;
b) Rough endoplasmic reticulum
c) Surface area covered with ribosome’s; for protein synthesis/ channels for transport of protein
10 Androgens
Acc-androgen
11 Carbon (IV) oxide, nitrogenous waste
1
12 water; mineral ions/salts, vitamins
13 Sacking small insects/small animals
(b)A trap into which (small) animals fall and get trapped; acc. Examples of small animals e.g.
insect/reptiles. Arachnids
14 a) Grass → Grasshopper → Lizards
(b) (i) Chicken
(ii) Grass
15 Fine adjustment knob
Moves the body tube through smaller distances to bring image/specimen/object into
sharper/sharp focus
Stage
Platform where specimen (on slide) is placed
16 a) Dry/arid/semi-arid/desert
(b) Succulent/freshly stem; reduced leaves/leaves reduced into thorns/spines. Acc. Thick
stem for storage of water
17 (a) X
(b) X has fewer stomata; most stomata in leaf X are concentrated on the lower side
18 (a) (i) Ovule; rej; ovules
(ii) Axile
(b) Orange or any other citrus fruit; lemon, tangerine, grape, lime, tomato, Sodom apple,
Irish potato, egg plant, thorn apple, banana
19 J – sporangium
- Absorption of soluble substances/ digested food
- Secretion of digestive enzymes;
- Anchorage(of mould on substrate); anchorage must be in the right context
20 (a) Place/environment in which (specified)organism lives
(b) A natural unit with abiotic and biotic factors
21 Aids causes
Sexual intercourse
Blood transfusion
Pregnant HIV positive mother to child
22 (a) Figure 1 R:
2
Figure 2 T: Accept growth
(b) Development of the foetus /zygote/fertilized/ova/egg/embryo
(c) Style
(d) R;P;
(e) X
23 (a) Passage of ova/ site of fertilization
(b) Storage of sperms
(c) Hold the testis/ protect the testis
24 Explosive; water; wind; animal
25 Actual length= drawing length divided by magnification;
4/2=2cm;
26 Leads to growth of the organism;
-Production of new cells;
