18M.2.HL.TZ1.5

The image shows a cell in a section of an onion root tip seen under a light microscope.

(a.i)

Identify the structure labelled X.

[1]

Markscheme

cell wall

(a.ii)

State the stage of mitosis of this cell.Ā 

[1]

Markscheme

metaphase

(b)

Compare and contrast the location of ATP synthase and the movement of protons during aerobic cell respiration and photosynthesis.

[2]

Markscheme

location of ATP synthase

a. cristae/inner mitochondrial membrane versus thylakoid membranesĀ 

movement of protons

b. protons moved/pumped as a result of electron flow/electron transport in bothĀ 

c. (pumped by the electron transport chain) from the matrix to the intermembrane space versus from the stroma to the thylakoid spaceĀ 

d. through ATP synthase/synthetase in both (respiration and photosynthesis)Ā 

e. protons move (through ATP synthase/synthetase) down the concentration gradient in bothĀ 

f. move (down concentration gradient) from the intermembrane space to the matrix versus from the thylakoid space to the stroma

(c)

Using the table, distinguish between the production of ATP, use of oxygen and release of CO2 in aerobic cell respiration between the cytoplasm and the mitochondrion.

(d)

The graph shows energy levels throughout an uncatalysed reaction. Draw a curve to show how the action of an enzyme would affect this reaction.

[1]

Markscheme

curve starting and ending at the same energy level but rising to a lower peakĀ
