11 (a) (i) a water bath was used to maintain a constant temperature ; [1]
(ii) allow the beans to acclimatise to, the temperature / 27 °C ;
to make sure that the rate of respiration becomes constant before results are taken ; [2]
(b) droplet travelled 162 mm in 25 minutes (10 to 35 minutes) ;
162
= 6.48 mm min−1
25
volume of a cylinder = π r2 h
π = 3.14
r = 0.4 mm
h = 6.48
volume of oxygen = 3.14 x (0.4 × 0.4) × 6.48 ;
volume of oxygen = 3.26 mm3 min−1
oxygen uptake per hour = 3.26 × 60 ;
= 195.6 mm3 hour−1 ; [3]
(c) at 17 °C the rate would be slower / droplet would not move as far ;
there would be fewer collisions between enzyme and substrate ;
at 37 °C there would be no rate of respiration / the position of the droplet would remain
unchanged ;
increase in temperature increases enzyme activity up to the enzyme’s optimum temperature
before the enzyme denatures. (In plants enzymes denature below 50 °C) ; [4]
12 (a) mitochondria ; [1]
(b) the oxygen consumption increases steeply and then more gradually and then decreases ;
oxygen consumption increases from 0.2 dm3 min−1 at 5 minutes to 2.2 dm3 min−1
at 10 minutes ;
increases from 2.2 dm3 min−1 at 5 minutes to 2.4 dm3 min−1 at 20 minutes ;
decreases from 2.4 dm3 min−1 at 20 minutes to 0.2 dm3 min−1 at 30.5 minutes ; [4]
(c) (i) 5 – 10 minutes increase
there is more muscle contraction during exercise ;
exercise requires an increase in supply of energy ;
increase in aerobic respiration ;
to release more energy (from glucose / fat) ;
requires more oxygen ;
so oxygen consumption increases ;
10 – 20 minutes
breathing supplies insufficient oxygen for aerobic respiration ;
leading to anaerobic respiration ; [6]
(ii) 20 – 30 minutes
oxygen debt is repaid ;
body has produced lactic acid ;
during exercise ;
in anaerobic respiration ;
oxygen is required to respire lactic acid ;
in the liver ; [5]
