E – It is used to indicate for direction of wind.

(1b)
In a tabular form
i | example | description | use of beak
F | Eagle | The beak is short and curve to enable tear prey| It is used to hold prey firmly
G |cock| It is short and little curve| It is used to peck food
H |Duck| It is long and flat | It enable the animal to sieve the food.

(1cI)
Photosynthesis

(1cii)
photosynthesis is defined as the process by which green plants manufacture their food making use of CO2 end water in the presence of sunlight.

(1ciii)
It is used to split water into hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ions in photosynthesis

(1civ)
Blowing splint

(1cv)
It is a controlled experiment

(1cvi)
An experiment to show that CO2 is absorbed while is giving out

(1cvii)
(i) Avoidance of presence of sunlight
(ii) Avoidance of photosynthesis in terms of increment

(1cviii)
From the green leaves

(1cx)
Oxygen
==========================================

(2ai)
I. Glass tube – Wind pipe
II. Bell jar – Chest gravity
III. Y tube – Bronchi
IV. Balloons – Lungs
V. Rubber sheets Diaphram

(2aii)
Inhalation

(2aiii)
Inhalation is the process of breathing in of air(oxygen) into the respiratory organs such as lungs or gills

(2aiv)
Exhalation

(2av)
Exhalation is the flow of the breath out of an organism

(2bi)
The head region of fish show the gills.

(2bii)
I – Nostril
