Analysis and evaluation

Question:

a) Present the results of your experiment to measure the energy content of oils in a clear and detailed results table. Remember to include row and column headings and SI units for quantitative variables. 

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: Columns with headings on table; rows with headings on table; table shows temperature before and after and preferably also temperature rise.

b) Display the results using a suitable type of graph or chart.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: Bar chart; temperature rises shown with bars; y axis with temperature scale and appropriate legend.

c) Use calculations to evaluate the energy yields per hectare of palm oil and the other crop that you have investigated.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: Energy yield per hectare = average yield (kg ha1 year1) × energy yield per kilogram (J kg1); correct calculations; palm oil yield per hectare is higher.

d) Suggest scientific reasons for the differences in energy yield between the crops.

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans: More photosynthesis in palm oil crop; higher temperature so more photosynthesis; higher light intensity so more photosynthesis; higher proportion of energy from photosynthesis stored in oil by oil palms than by other crops
