Thanks verykiasumummy, well explained!

welcome... just exchanging...

So glad to have found this page. Answered a lot of Questions which I’ve been trying to fig out. Very happy with my girl’s tutor, but sometimes, I need to know too, so that I can ensure that her lessons are worth my every penny!

The first answer is 3, while the second answer is 2. READ the question CAREFULLY!! It says, \" After 3 days,.....\" Thus the decrease in mass must be big. So, it is E and H.

Hi
Circuit A has its batteries and its bulbs arranged in parallel
as same amount of eletric current flows through each bulb and the brightness
remains the same.

The disadvantage of bulbs in parallel is that it lasts for a shorter time since the bulbs are in series.
Hence,the answer should be 3 and never 2.

Circuit B has both the batterires and the bulbs in series.The electric current flown through each bulb is the same but the brightness is lower than before.

The plants coated with oil will have least water loss, ya?
Shouldn't it be 3?

Shouldn't it be 3?[/quote]the leaves coated with oil cannot photosynthesise, cannot exchange gases, so will shrivel up, hence will have greater mass loss.

The correct answer is 3. The bulbs in Circuit A are arranged in series, so more current is drawn from the batteries. Hence the life span of the batteries in Circuit A is shorter than that in Circuit B.

The correct answer is 3. The water loss for F and G are lower, hence their leaves are coated with oil, so transpiration (loss of water through stomata) could hardly take place.
