Question (2 mark)

 Energy released by cellular respiration is needed for movement. Outline one similarity and one difference between aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration in humans.(2 marks)

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans:

Accept any reasonable similarity, for example [max 1]
• produce energy or ATP
• use glucose
Accept any reasonable difference, for example [max 1]
• aerobic requires oxygen / anaerobic does not
• waste products are different (water and CO2 or lactic acid)
• anaerobic releases less energy

Question:

Explain whether bacteria that rely on aerobic respiration for their energy could survive in the mesocosm.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: Aerobic bacteria can survive using oxygen from photosynthesizing microbes.

Question:

a) Of the 4960 kJ of energy that the detritivores take in, 33.7% is lost as heat. Calculate the percentage of the energy taken in by carnivores that is lost from them as heat.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: (1705/2790)×100% = 61.1%

b) Suggest reasons for the difference in the percentage of energy taken in that is lost as heat.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: Carnivores are more active; carnivores use energy to hunt prey.
