Test question (from written section)

An experiment was conducted to measure the effects of the presence of thyroxin and temperature on oxygen use in human tissue cells. Two tissue samples were prepared as shown below:

Sample A: 50 grams of muscle tissue was added to a nutrient solution.
Sample B: 50 grams of muscle tissue was added to a thyroxin and nutrient solution.

Oxygen consumption was measured at various temperatures. The results are shown below.


You will be asked to both graph and analyse the data.

Science 10

Common Misconceptions:

1. Negative acceleration is sometimes confused with deceleration. Deceleration means that the acceleration opposes the direction of motion so the object slows down. Negative acceleration means that the acceleration is in the negative direction. If the object was initially travelling in the negative direction, a negative acceleration would increase the velocity of the object.

2. Some may think that zero acceleration means that the object must be at rest. Zero acceleration means that the object is not changing velocity. This could mean that the object is at rest, or it cold mean the object is moving with a constant velocity.

  • name the four nitrogenous bases in RNA and describe the structure of RNA
  • name the four nitrogenous bases in DNA and describe the structure of DNA
  • Compare DNA and RNA
