Conservation scientists investigated the numbers of the four species of birds, shown below, in an area of the UK. They counted in 1999 and again in 2009. Numbers had decreased.
................................................................................... (d) If the numbers of these birds continue to decline in future years how will biodiversity in the area be affected? Underline your answer and give a reason. [1] increase Reason
(iii) Name one structure shown on the diagrams above, which would not be present in a bacterial cell. [1]
............................................................................................................... (b) Scientists use light microscopes to study living cells. Why is an electron microscope unsuitable for this task? [1]
(b) Some students investigated the release of energy during respiration in living peas. They used the apparatus shown in the diagram below and measured the temperature over a period of 11 days.
