number
1 (a) (i) So it/CO2 is not a limiting factor (on 1 Accept: CO2 is a limiting factor
growth/photosynthesis);
1 (a) (ii) So any difference is due to iron (deficiency); 1 Accept: iron is the variable
1 (a) (iii) Amount of triose phosphate/TP will be 1 Accept: to allow triose phosphate
similar/same/low (at start); to stabilise / become constant
Reject: so all triose phosphate is
used up
Reject: so no triose phosphate
1 (b) 1. (Less) ATP produced; 4 Accept: alternatives for reduced

2. (Less) reduced NADP produced; NADP ie NADP with hydrogen/s
3. ATP/reduced NADP produced during light- attached
dependent reaction;
4. (Less) GP to triose phosphate/TP;
1 (c) 1. Less triose phosphate converted to RuBP; 2 Accept: less triose phosphate so
2. CO2 combines with RuBP; less RuBP
2 (a) (i) Stroma (of chloroplasts); 1 Reject: stoma
2 (a) (ii) 2; 1
2 (b) 1. As oxygen (concentration) 2 max 1. Accept - as oxygen
increases less Rubisco/RuBP reacts/binds with (concentration) increases
carbon dioxide; more Rubisco/RuBP
2. Competitive inhibition / competition between reacts/binds with oxygen
oxygen and carbon dioxide for 1. Accept – less GP/more
rubisco/enzyme/active site; phosphoglycolate formed
3. Less RuBP formed/regenerated (to join with as oxygen (concentration)
carbon dioxide); increases
2. Accept oxygen and
carbon dioxide are
complementary to active site
2 (c) 1. Less glycerate 3-phosphate/GP produced; 3
2. (Less) triose phosphate to form
sugars/protein/organic (product)/any named
photosynthetic product;
3. Less RuBP formed/regenerated;
3 (a) Ribulose bisphosphate/RuBP; 1 Accept Ribulose biphosphate or
Ribulose diphosphate
Accept phonetic spellings
Accept any variation in upper
or lower case for RuBP
3 (b) ATP and reduced NADP are produced in 1 Must be reduced NADP but
grana/thylakoids/ present in A/both tubes; accept any alternative which
show hydrogen attached to
NADP
Must be reduced NADP not
reduced NAD
3 (c) 1. 4 000; 2 Accept ‘same as in (tube) C’, but
2. Light-dependent reaction does not occur not ‘same’ on its own
/ATP and reduced NADP are not produced; Accept converse for mark point 2
3 (d) 1. (Less) GP converted to TP; 2 GP = glycerate 3-phosphate
2. (Less) TP converted to RuBP; TP = triose phosphate but
abbreviations are sufficient
Accept GALP as TP

required for photosynthesis/light-dependent Accept day = light
reaction; Must be a reference to plants or
3. (In dark) plants (and other organisms) all organisms
respire;
4. In light net uptake of carbon dioxide by Do not allow converse for this
plants/plants use more carbon dioxide than they point
produce/ rate of photosynthesis greater than Accept description of
rate of respiration; compensation point
5. Decrease in carbon dioxide concentration Accept: converse of increase
with height; closer to ground
6. At ground level fewer leaves/less
photosynthesising tissue/more animals/less
light;
4 (b) 1. Carbon dioxide combines with ribulose 5 This mark scheme is based on

molecules/named relevant substance;
4. Respiration (by microorganisms) produces
carbon dioxide;
5. Carbon dioxide taken into leaves;
6. Through stomata;
5 (a) (i) Temperature and light; 1
5 (a) (ii) Increase in temperature causes increase in rate 2
of photosynthesis / uptake of carbon dioxide;
