Name the organelle where photosynthesis occurs.

Chloroplast

10

What type of particle is negatively charged?

Electron

10

What is the unit of energy?

Joule (J)

10

A block has a mass of 2.5 kg and a volume of 0.5 m³. Calculate its density.

2.5÷0.5=5kg/m3

10

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

KE = ½mv²

20

What is the role of enzymes in the body?

Biological catalysts (speed up reactions)
20

What is the pH of a neutral solution?

7

20

What is meant by “work done” in physics?

Energy transferred when a force moves an object

20

A force of 50 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. Calculate acceleration.

a=F÷m=50÷10=5m/s2

20

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

Carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen

30

What is diffusion? 

The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration

30

What is a mixture?

Two or more substances not chemically bonded. It contains elements and compounds.

30

Why do objects slow down when no force is applied to keep them moving?

Friction and air resistance act against motion

30

A solution contains 25 g of solute in 200 cm³. Calculate concentration.

25÷200=0.125g/cm3

30

What is the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions?

Exo = releases energy, Endo = absorbs energy

40

Why are root hair cells adapted for absorption?

Large surface area increases uptake of water and minerals

40

Why do metals conduct electricity?

Delocalised electrons can move and carry charge

40

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Velocity includes direction, speed does not

40

A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wavelength of 4 m. Calculate its speed.

v=fλ=5×4=20 m/s

40

Explain why increasing temperature increases pressure in a gas.

Particles move faster → collide more often and harder

50

What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration?

Aerobic uses oxygen, anaerobic does not

50

Why does increasing temperature increase the rate of a chemical reaction?

Particles move faster → more frequent and energetic collisions

50

Why does increasing current in a wire make it hotter?

More energy is transferred → more collisions between electrons and ions → heat produced

50

A car accelerates from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate acceleration.

a=(30−10)÷5=4m/s

50

Explain why increasing surface area increases the rate of heat transfer.

More particles exposed → more energy transfer → faster heat loss
