What ocean is located between the Americas and Europe/Africa? [1]

3 / 17

State what is meant by evaporation of water.

4 / 17

State the factors that limit photosynthesis. [3]

A) Light intensity

B) Wind speed

C) Temperature

D) Carbon dioxide concentration

E) Oxygen concentration

5 / 17

Explain how the ozone layer prevents harm to humans. [4]

A) ground level ozone cannot be prevented, since air pollution is common in urban areas

B) prevents cataracts as the ozone layer absorbs UV radiation

C) prevents eye irritation as it blocks harmful infrared radiation

6 / 17

State the reasons why energy decreases between trophic levels. [3]

A) Energy used for movement

B) Energy lost in waste products

C) Energy lost as heat during respiration

D) Energy stored indefinitely in biomass

E) Energy recycled within ecosystems

7 / 17

Using the diagram, explain how processes represented by arrows A and B interact to influence atmospheric carbon levels. [4]

A) B is anaerobic respiration which causes an addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere

B) A is cellular respiration which increases CO2 in the atmosphere

C) A is photosynthesis and the process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere

D) B is respiration which releases carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere

8 / 17

The diagram above shows the structure of Earth’s atmosphere. Identify the letter that contains the ozone layer. [1]

C) Release energy by predation

D) Consume other organisms

12 / 17

Identify the processes that remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [2]

A) Combustion of fossil fuels

B) Ocean absorption

C) Combustion of biomass

D) Respiration

D) Temperature

E) Bacteria

14 / 17

Describe the flow of energy in this food web. [4]

A) Energy flows from maize to primary consumers such as beetles

B) The grasshopper receives the largest amount of energy since it feeds on producers

C) energy from mice move on toi snake through consumption

D) Energy flows from predators to prey such as frog

E) Maize is the producers which produces its own energy through photosynthesis

F) Energy is lost at each trophic level

15 / 17

State the characteristics of low-income countries (LICs). [3]

A) Low GDP per capita

B) Advanced infrastructure

C) High infant mortality rate

D) Limited access to healthcare

E) High life expectancy
