(b) P : Filaments 1
Q: Spiracles 1 2
(c) (R is ring of chitin which) support the tracheal / prevent the tracheal 1
from collapsing.
(d) Diagram 1.1(b):

P1: The filament have numerous thin-walled lamellae to maximise
the surface area for gaseous exchange.
P2: The gill filaments have thin membrane and covered by a net
work of capillaries to transport respiratory gases.
P3: The surface of the gills is moist which allows the gases to be
dissolved.
Any 1P 1
Diagram 1.2(b)
P1: The large number of tracheoles provides a large surface for the
diffusion of gases.
P2: Tip of tracheoles have thin permeable walls and contain fluid in
which respiratory gases can dissolve.
P3:Terminal ends of the tracheol remains moist which allows the
gases to be dissolved. 1
Any 1P
(e) (i) P1:( The gaseous exchange process occurs over the whole body 1
surface in an Amoeba sp) through simple diffusion.
P2:Higher concentration of oxygen in the water surrounding causes 1
oxygen to diffuse into the Amoeba.
P3:Higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the cell causes carbon 1
dioxide to diffuse out of the Amoeba.

(ii) S: Contractile vacuole 1
(iii) P1: Freshwater is hypotonic to the cytoplasmic fluid of Amoeba sp . 1

P2: Water diffuses into the cell and fill the contractile vacuole by 1
osmosis
P3: When the contractile vacuole is filled with water to its maximum 1
size, it contracts to expel its content from time to time.
