(ii)Exoskeleton

Organisms–>Moulting

(iii)Endoskeleton

—>Fish

*(1c)*
(Functions of Skeleton)
(Pick 3)
(i)Support:-The rigid framework of the skeleton gives support to the body

(ii)Protection:-The skeleton protects important and delicate organs of the body

(iii)Movement:-The whole skeleton is made up of severely pieces of bones which are jointed and brings about movember

(iv) Respiration:-The skeleton also aids in respiration

(i) Iron: Assists in nitrate and sulfate reduction and energy production within the plant

(ii) Nitrogen: For rapid growth

(iii) Calcium: It is responsible for holding together the cell walls of plants

Mango trees -> Caterpillars -> chicks of domestic fowls -> Hawks

(3aii) Draw the diagram

(3bi) Water:
-Serves as a habitat for organisms.
-Serves as a source of water for irrigation.
-Serves as a source of hydroelectric power.

(ii) Soil:
-It ensures continuous sources of plant nutrients.
-It ensures sources of water/reservoir for soil organisms.
-It ensures sources of raw materials for some industries.

(iii) Forest:
-It ensures the conservation of trees or forest product.
-It helps to check erosion.
-It helps in the preservation of natural spaces.

In a tabular form:
Classes of plants based on life cycle and Two examples

Classes | Examples
(i) Anual | Vegetable, Cotton
(ii) Biennials | Carrot, Ginger
(iii) Perennials | Cocoa/banana

(6c)
The amniotic fluid help to neutralize the effect of changes of external temperature

(6d)
(i) Rhizobium : It helps to fix atmospheric nitrogen directly into the plant.
(ii) Azotobacter: It can fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil either aerobically or anaerobically.
(iii) Blue-green algae: They are mainly auto trophic plants; they can synthesize their own food.
