QUESTION 2
2.1 Grade 11 learners investigated the effect of three different antibiotics (AB1, AB2
and AB3) on the growth of three different strains of disease-causing bacteria (X,
Y and Z). The following procedure was followed.
¢ Nine identical agar plates (petri dishes with the nutrient agar) were prepared.
¢ Bacteria X was cultured on the first three agar plates, bacteria Y on
the next three agar plates and bacteria Z on the last three agar plates,
« The same amount of AB1 was placed in the centre of each of three
agar plates, one with bacteria X, one with bacteria Y and one with
bacteria Z.
e This step was repeated using AB2 and then AB3.
¢ The nine petri dishes were incubated at the same temperature and
at the same time.
¢ Bacterial growth was examined for each agar plate and the diameter
of the area where no bacteria grew was measured.
The following results were obtained from the investigation.
Diameter (mm) of area where no bacteria grew
AB1 AB2 AB3
Bacteria X 8 14 3
Bacteria Y 9 11 5
Bacteria Z 6 5 4
2.1.1 Identify the following in the investigation:
(a) The independent variable (1)
(b) The dependent variable (1)
2.1.2 State the aim for this investigation. (2)
2.1.3
2.1.4
Which antibiotic was the most effective in decreasing bacterial growth? (1)
Which TWO variables did the learners keep constant to ensure
the validity of their investigation?
(2)
2.1.5 State TWO ways in which learners could improve the reliability of this
investigation.
