Biology

(1a)
The branch of biology that involves the use of specimen A, B, C, D, E and F is ecology.

(1b)
A – It is used for measuring temperature or determining the degree of hotness or coldness of an object/organ/organism
B – For measuring the amount/volume of rainfall in an ecosystem
C -To measure the length, height and width of an object/organsim
D – For collecting insects/creeping/crawling animal.
E – For finding wind direction.
F – To estimate the population of plants in an ecosystem.

(1c)
B – The specimen is stationed above ground on an open space. After rainfall, the volume of water found in the glass bottle is measured with a cylinder as the volume of rainfall.

D – The net is skimmed on the water surface so as to collect the desired specimen.

(1d)

(2bi)
In a tabular form:
Under Specimen H
-Light brownish in colour
-Obtained from animal.
-The barbs are joined.
-The shaft is made of cuticle.
-It acts as an organ of insertion.
-specimen is soft and fluffy.

Specimen J
-Green in colour.
-Obtained from a plant.
-Each leaf is separate from one another.
-The shaft is made of wood.
-Acts as an organ of photosynthesis.
-Specimen is hard.

(2bii)
(i) Both have shaft
(ii) Both have vane
(iii) Both have rachis

(2c)
H – It is used for flying.
J – it is used for photosynthesis.

(2di)
