Nebbermind:

For the melting ice problem, shdn't it be :


remain, remain & decrease? (since it stated 'melting ice', so water must be '0')

Ice will remain the same since it is melting at 0 degrees. Water will gain temperature since it's not melting :imcool:

Then the leaf will absorb water if it does not photosynthesise it will not be able to get rid of the water. The green parts will photosynthesise so water will not enter, causing leaf to be lighter and float. :?

Verysuperkiasu:

Anyone can share about the swasthikaa answer keys for section A prelim 2011? My son didn't agree with quite a few of them. Hope someone could verify...


Unfortunately I don't have a scanner. One of them is as follows

Which of the following statements about the organism below are correct? Picture shows a frog.

A. It has many cells of various shapes and sizes.
B. It has cells which contain nuclei that pass hereditary materials down.
C. It has different cells to carry out different functions.
D. Cell division takes place as it grows.
E. It has some cells that are surrounded by cellulose walls.

(1) A, B and C only
(2) A, B and D only
(3) A, B, C and D only
(4) A, C, D and E only

Son's answer is (3) but answer key is (2). Which is correct?

Qn 12 : Stephanie counted the no of plants & animals in her garden. Her findings are shown in the graph below.

No. of plants that grow on the ground = 10
No. of plants that grow on trees = 7
No of grasshoppers = 5
No of Lime Butterflies = 6
No of caterpillars of lime butterflies = 8

Based on the graph above (supposed to be a graph), which of the following statemets are definitely true?

A: There are at least 3 populations of animals
B: There are more plants than animals in Stephanie's garden.
There are at least 2 populations of plants.
There is only one garden community

(1) A only
(2) B and C only
(3) C and D only
(4) A, C and D only

Son's answer is (3) but answer key is (4)

For q12 my DD asked her science teacher. He said that 3 is the correct ans. The young of the lime butterfly is not considered a different population.

TIA.

(a) When the nuclei are removed, the cells will die because the nucleus control all the activities in a cell.

(b) Our skin will wrinkle after soaking in water because the cell membrane of our skin allows water to pass through causing it to expand. However, the expansion is not even causing our skin to wrinkle. (This is definitely out of syllabus)

(a) Bubbles can be seen on the surface of the green discs but there will be no bubble on surface of the white discs.

(b) The green discs contain chlorophyll and can carry out photosynthesis, releasing oxygen which appears as bubbles. Bubbles on the surfaces of the green discs help the green discs to float to the surface. The white discs do not contain chlorophyll and cannot photosynthesize.

(a) Part A will grow new shoots while part B will wither and die.

(b) Part A has roots to absorb water and nutrient from the ground. It also has food stored in its stems and roots. Therefore, it can grow new shoots.

Part B has leaves which allow water vapour from part B to be released through the stomata. However, it does not have roots to absorb water. With water being lost continuously through the leaves, part B will wither and die.

M is plants
N is decomposition.

Decomposition is important because it helps to break down dead organisms into simple substances which are nutrients for the plant. Otherwise, the world will be filled with dead organisms.

Electrical energy of copper coil
Chemical potential energy of capacitor
Heat and light energy of bulb

(I think this is also out of syllabus)
