  • Long eyeball, resulting in rays from colleague (12m away) being focused at point in front of retina. Light rays on book focused on retina

bio pp2 ans 4

  • Blood entering lungs has lower concentration of O 2 and higher concentration of CO 2  since most O 2  has been used up in respiration, yielding more CO 2
  • Blood leaving lungs has lower CO 2 levels and higher O 2 levels since it has been purified. volume of nitrogen remains unchanged as it isn't used up during respiration.
  • Pulmonary artery
  • High altitude areas have low oxygen concentration, thus the body produces more red blood cells, increasing amount of oxygen carried around the body for respiration, making athletes more energetic.

SECTION B (40 marks) Answer  question 6 (compulsory)  and either question 7or & in the spaces provided after question 8.

bio pp2 ans 6

  • Decrease number of ticks due to the chemical killing them / ticks not yet adapted/ developed resistance
  • Increased number of ticks due to increased resistance
  • 28 ± 2
  • Grass → Animal → Tick → bird → Vulture ( mark for producer - grass, tick, energy flow, five organisms)
  • Mapping various parts of the animals body
  • Physical counting
  • Sampling the animals
  • When blood glucose is high, insulin hormone is produced by pancreas, stimulating liver cells to  convert excess glucose to glycogen [ some glucose to fat]. When blood glucose is low, pancreas secretes the glucagon hormone, stimulating the liver to convert glycogen/ fats to glucose.
  • Plasma is the fluid part of blood consisting of dissolved and undissolved substances. The plasma acts as a medium in which various substances are transported in the body. It acts as a medium for various metabolic reactions and plays a role in thermo-regulation/ heat distribution.
  • Platelets contain proteins that help in blood clotting( thromboplastin/ thrombokinase), preventing excessive blood loss/ anaemia and also entry of pathogens into the blood stream.
  • White blood cells have an irregular/ amoebid shape and protect the body against attacks by pathogens by engulfing them and releasing antibodies against the pathogens. They are numerous and act as the body's defense mechanism.
  • Red blood cell are biconcave in shape to increase surface area for difussion of gases/ squeezing through blood capillaries. They lack nuclei to allow for more haemoglobin packing. Haemoglobin has high affinity for oxygen and are numerous to increase surface area for oxygen transport through out the body.They have anyhydrase enzyme for loading and offloading CO 2
  • Chloroplasts are sites of photosynthesis. During the day, photosynthesis takes place. Glucose is manufactured , and being osmotically active, it increases the internal concentration of guard cells, making them turgid and bulge outward, opening the stomata.
  • ( starch interconversion theory)- Chloroplasts are sites for photosynthesis. When photosynthesis takes place, Co 2  concentration goes up and the pH of the guard cells rise, favouring the conversion of starch to glucose then being osmotically active, it increases the internal concentration of guard cells, making them turgid and bulge outward, opening the stomata.
  • Carbon (IV) oxide concentration - being a raw material for photosynthesis, increase in CO 2  levels leads to an increased rate of photosynthesis up to a given optimum beyond where the rate remains the same due to other limiting factors.
  • Light intensity/ quality of light - it provides the energy required for photosynthesis/ photolysis. Increase in light intensity increases rate of photosynthesis up to an optimum point, beyond which rate remains the same due to other limiting factors
  • Temperature - Low temperatures make enzymes inactive, reducing rate of photosynthesis, as temperature increases, rate of photosynthesis increases up to an optimum. High temperatures beyond optimum denatures enzymes, reducing rate of photosynthesis.
  • Water - is a raw material for photosynthesis. It influences the opening and closing of stomata, affecting diffusion of  CO 2 in the leaves.

BIOLOGY ESSAYS FOR EASY REVISION. 1(a

Profile image of Martin Otundo Richard

Describe the digestion of a starchy meal along the human alimentary canal. S (13 mks) Answer-Starch in food is first broken down in the mouth by action of teeth/ chewing; This increases the surface area exposed enzyme action; saliva contains salivary amylase which breaks down some starch to maltose; saliva has a slightly alkaline pH which is optimum for the enzyme; The food moves down to the oespophagus and stomach; where the acidic pH, due presence of dilute Hcl, prevents further action of salivary amylase; In the duodenum, pancreatic amylase continues digestion of starch to maltose; Pancreatic amylase is produced in the pancrease; and enters the duodenum through pancreatic ducts; the acidic chyme is neutralized by the sodium bicarbonate in bile/ pancreatic juice; Maltose digestion continues in the ileum; whose walls secrete succus entericus/ intestinal juice; which contains enzyme maltase; which breaks down maltose to glucose; (Max 13 marks) (b) Describe the process of urea formation. (7marks) answer Excess amino acids / proteins; are transported to the liver 2. (a) Describe how gaseous exchange occurs in terrestrial plants. (13 marks) Answer Gaseous exchange takes place in a spongy mesophyl During the day air diffuses into large air spaces of spongy mesophyll; through stomata; the Carbon (IV) Oxide in the air diffuses into Photosynthetic cells; in solution form; during photosynthesis Carbon (iv) Oxide is used while oxygen is produced. Oxygen diffuses out of the leaf; through stomata; During the night; air diffuses into the air spaces (of spongy mesophyll), the air dissolves into film of moisture; then oxygen diffuses into the cells; and is used in respiration during which carbon (iv) oxide is produced, the Carbon (iv) Oxide diffuses out of the leaf; through stomata; due to concentration/diffusion gradient; Gaseous exchange takes place through epidermis (of young leaves and stems); epidermis of the root carries out gaseous exchange with air in the soil; some plants have pneumatophores/breathing roots; in which gaseous exchange occurs through lenticels; (found in

Absorption by Roots, Osmosis, and the Ascent of Sap • Roots and leaves are the main absorbing organs of the plant. ® Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil ® Leaves take in O 2 & CO 2 from the atmosphere • Reasons why plants need water: a) Turgidity-Cell sap in vacuoles lends rigidity to the plant b) Manufacture of food-Water is used as a raw material in photosynthesis along with CO 2 c) Translocation-Minerals absorbed by roots and carbohydrates prepared by leaves are transported in solution form d) Cooling of plant-When excess water is removed (by transpiration), the plant cools • Minerals and their Functions: a) Nitrogen-protein synthesis; growth b) Magnesium and iron-synthesis of chlorophyll c) Potassium-constituent of protoplasm; maintains osmotic balance in the cell; opening and closing of stomata d) Phosphorus-promotes nuclear and cell division e) Calcium-maintains the semi-permeability of the cell membrane f) Sulphur-constituent of amino acid (cysteine) g) Zinc-leaf formation • These minerals are taken in the form of ions/radicals; (Nitrogen absorbed as nitrates) • Functions of Roots: i. Fix the plant in soil ii. Absorb water and minerals from the soil iii. Conduct the absorbed substances through its tissues to the upper parts of plant • Adaptations of Roots: i. Branching nature-provides large surface area ii. Thin, freely permeable cell wall-allows movement of minerals in and out of cell by diffusion iii. Semi-permeable cell membrane-permits entry of water and restricts entry of salts by osmosis iv. Concentration of H 2 O in cell sap-in root hair is less than that of soil-helps in absorption of water by osmosis

Free Biology Essay Examples & Writing Tips

Don’t know what to write about in your essay on biology? Looking for good biology essay examples for inspiration? This article has all you need!

A biology essay is a type of academic paper that focuses on a particular topic of biology. It can discuss animal life, cycles in biology, or a botanic subject. You will need to demonstrate your critical thinking skills and provide relevant evidence to support your perspective.

On this page, you will find examples of biology essays. You will also find here tips and topics prepared by our experts . They can assist you in nailing your short or extended essay.

Areas of Research for Biology Essays

If you’ve been assigned to write a biology essay, you probably know which area of research you have to choose. However, it might be beneficial to explore other available scopes. It’s useful for both interdisciplinary study and the cases when you are free to pick your area of research. In this section, let’s figure out what you can study in biology.

Here are biological areas of research you should be familiar with:

  • Cancer Biology studies this type of disease to prevent, detect, diagnose and cure it. The ultimate goal of such biologists is to eliminate cancer.
  • Cell Biology is a branch that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. Here, biologists study healthy and sick cells to produce vaccines, medication, etc.
  • Biochemistry is an application of chemistry to the study of biological processes on cell and molecular levels. It is a cross-discipline between chemistry and biology. The focus is on the chemical processes of living organisms.
  • Computation Biology is a study of biological data that develops algorithms and models to understand biological systems. Here, scientists either work for institutions or research for private enterprises.
  • Genetics is an area that focuses on the study of genes and genetic variations for health benefits. It looks at the way DNA affects certain diseases.
  • Human Disease is an area within which scientists study different diseases. The field covers cancer, developmental disorders, disease genes, etc.
  • Immunology is a branch of biology that focuses on immunity. Immunologists look at the way the body responds to viruses as a way to protect the organism.
  • Microbiology studies all living organisms that are too small for our eye to see. It includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms.
  • Neurobiology is the study of the nervous system. Biologists examine the way the brain works and look into brain illnesses.
  • Stem Cell and Developmental Biology seeks to examine how the processes behind stem cell’s ability transform cells. The biologists in this area use the power of stem cells to model human illnesses.

Essay on Biology: Writing Tips

Want to know how to start a biology essay? Wondering about the best way to write your essay on biology? Then check out the following tips.

When you’re writing about biology, pay attention to the following features:

  • Introduction . Just as in any other form of academic writing, the first section of your paper introduces the subject. Here, explain why your ideas are relevant to biology as a science.
  • Thesis Statement. The final one or two sentences of the first paragraph should include your original hypothesis and experiment. You will be proving them in the main body. You do not have to include the results as the reader will encounter them later. If you’re struggling with this part, try our thesis generator .
  • Main Body. In this part, write about all the experiments in detail. Often, teachers require to include visual aid to prove your point. For Zoology, Anatomy, Botany, it is pretty easy to find some photos and illustrations.
  • Conclusion. Here, restate your thesis. Reemphasize the most critical aspects described in the main body. You can do it by using our summarizing tool . The goal of this last paragraph is to leave an everlasting impression on the reader.

Thank you for reading our article. We hope you found it helpful. Share it with your class peers who also study biology. Additionally, have a look at the biological essay examples below.
