Downloaded from hlayiso.com You are the parent of a 10-year-old child who has been seriously injured in an accident and you are told that the paramedics were unable to keep your child alive. The surgeon informs you that they have your child on life-support so that they can find out if you will donate your child’s organs to people in serious need of healthy organs. These patients are on standby, desperately in need of organ transplants. 3.3.1 Would you agree to have your child’s organs transplanted? Give TWO reasons to support your decision. [3] 3.4 Study the diagram and information given below on drugs (ccB) which are designed to deal with high blood pressure. https://medmovie.com/library_id/3255/topic/ahaw_0247i/ Page 15 of 27
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Beta Blockers (also known as calcium channel blockers) are drugs that slow the heart rate, decrease cardiac output, lessen the force with which the heart muscle contracts and reduce blood vessel contraction. They do this by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in various parts of the body. This prevents adrenaline from stimulating these receptors. They may be used to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and prevent abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia) or irregular rhythms such as premature ventricular beats. Since they reduce the demand of the heart muscle for oxygen, they may be useful in treating angina (chest pain), which occurs when the oxygen demand of the heart exceeds the supply. They have become an important drug in improving survival rates after a person has had a heart attack. Beta-blockers are also used to treat high blood pressure and other heart conditions. 3.4.1 Give the medical term for high blood pressure. (2) 3.4.2 Using the text and diagram to assist you, describe TWO ways in which beta- blockers can be used to treat high blood pressure.

Downloaded from hlayiso.com SOURCE C HYDROPOWER DRIES UP WITH CLIMATE CHANGE Water powers around 70 percent of the world's renewable electricity, and more than 15 percent of the world's total power supply. It's cheap, and unlike solar and wind, can produce electricity on demand. But building hydroelectric dams also reshapes ecological systems, inundates landscapes, and has forced millions of people to abandon their homes. And now, water power faces an added complication: Climate change means some countries are experiencing severe droughts and reservoirs are drying up. Malawi relies on hydropower for 98 percent of its electricity supply. Last year, it suffered prolonged blackouts. According to the World Bank, less than 10 percent of Malawians have access to a power supply anyway, but key public infrastructure, such as hospitals, was badly hit. Yet, despite uncertainty about future climate, reservoirs are still being built around the world. Greenpeace proposes a combination of wind, solar and biomass, which it says will, in the long term, be cheaper and more efficient, as well as far less destructive. UK researchers say that if all plans currently on the table for new hydropower plants in Eastern and Southern Africa were fulfilled, the risk of power shortages could increase, since most rely on the same scarce rainfall and would suffer a drop in power generation at the same time. Hydropower should not be seen as an alternative to other renewables, but as a compliment to them, making the entire energy system more efficient and the power supply more secure. https://www.dw.com/en/hydropower-supply-dries-up-with-climate-change/a-42472070 SOURCE D STIEGLER’S GORGE CAN BENEFIT EVERYONE DECEMBER 14 2018 The signing of the $6.5 trillion contract between the government and Egyptian firms for the construction of the Stiegler’s Gorge hydropower station had been much-awaited. Those who opposed the project argued that the building of 2,113-megawatt station in the Rufiji Basin would disturb the ecosystem of the Sealous Game Reserve, one of the world’s largest animal sanctuaries and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There have also been concerns over the impact of the project on the livelihoods of some 200,000 people - including farmers and fishermen - living downstream from the proposed 1,200 sq km reservoir. But President Magufuli has, on several occasions, allayed fears expressed by the environmentalists and lobbyists. And, considering that only one-third of the country’s population currently has access to electricity, it’s important that the dream to double power supply through the Stiegler’s Gorge be realised. Some experts from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), agree that Africa still has a lot of hydropower potential, and with such high demand for renewable energy, it cannot be ignored.

Hydro-Electric dams offer a reasonable cost in terms of initial start-up capital ($1.58 million / Mw) and operating costs (.85 cents / KwH). These low costs can be attributed to the lack of fuel needed to operate Hydro-Electric plants and the high power output of these plants, which are capable of generating up to 9,800 Megawatts of power. The use of hydro-electric plants can also be controlled and scheduled to meet the power requirements of any grid. The only negative aspect to hydro-electric power is its reliance on rivers and reservoirs, which makes mass implementation difficult. Wind Turbine generators offer the lowest capital cost per generating capacity ($1.5 million / Mw). Wind power’s operating costs ($.015 / KwH) are the third lowest of the options. Wind Farms can be used in almost any location as long as the average wind speed is between 10 to 50 mph. The only problem with wind power is that wind is unpredictable and cannot be scheduled on a power grid. Currently, solar power is the least attractive of alternate power sources. This energy source features the second highest capital costs ($4.16 million / Mw) and the highest operating costs ($.13 / KwH). To make matters even worse, these estimates of solar power’s operating costs include government subsidies ($.23 / KwH without subsidization). Solar is unpredictable, and therefore difficult to schedule on a power grid. Moreover, solar uses land inefficiently — it takes 400 acres of collectors to generate 75 Mw of capacity. Page 21 of 27

The NEMC states that implementation of the Rufiji hydroelectric power project will comply Page 22 of 27
Downloaded from hlayiso.com with all the relevant environmental protection measures at all levels. The Stiegler's Gorge hydroelectric project is vital in building a strong industrial economy, hence the need to develop it without affecting all the sources of the Rufiji River. The NEMC will continue to uphold all laws and regulations dealing with environmental protection. The NEMC commended the various measures being taken by President John Magufuli's administration in the endeavour to build an industrial economy. People will benefit not only from electricity but also from secured water supply, irrigation for food production and flood control. Also, societal benefits would appear, such as increased recreational opportunities, improved navigation, the development of fisheries, cottage industries, etc. This is not the case for any other source of energy. Further research and development in the field of other renewable options such as solar and wind power for a country like Tanzania should not be separated but rather go hand in hand. An integrated approach is vital which includes joint ventures between the public and the private sector in hydropower development. There is also a need for technical assistance in planning, development and implementation of the projects. http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:650272/FULLTEXT01.pdf SOURCE G ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WIND, SOLAR AND HYDRO POWER Disadvantages of Wind Power Advantages and disadvantages of Solar Power Page 23 of 27

Big dams disrupt river ecology and cause deforestation, damaging aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity and release greenhouse gases as flooded areas rot. They also displace thousands of people and destroy food sources and livelihoods. Consultants hired by dam builders “routinely” inflate benefits and minimise costs, and do not make their data public until long after the dam is built. Governments should explore less damaging Page 24 of 27
Downloaded from hlayiso.com alternative renewable power sources such as solar and wind, and less intrusive hydropower technologies such as “instream turbines” systems where, instead of damming a river, turbines of various designs can be dipped into faster flowing water, supported by lighter infrastructure. This can be less disruptive of natural sediment and wildlife flows. The hydropower industry dangles the purported benefits of big dams in front of governments who are keen to develop, but such schemes regularly go far over budget and rarely produce the expected return on investment. Governments should learn from what is happening in America, where dams built in the heyday of hydropower (1930-50) are now past their 50-year lifespan, and are facing material degradation and higher-than-expected rates of sedimentation, leading to disruptive failures and failure scares, such as at California’s Oroville Dam in February last year, when 180,000 people were ordered to run for their lives. Too frequently, energy and water planning are secretively guarded by governments (sometimes in collusion with dam builders), is closed to the participation of civil society, and does not follow the World Commission on Dams guidelines. http://www.globalconstructionreview.com/perspectives/big-dam-craze-threatens-developing-world-researche/ SOURCE I Social and environmental costs of hydropower are underestimated JANUARY 11, 2019 The first dams were built in North America and Europe to supply power to rural areas and provide water for irrigation systems. These projects had a social purpose. In contrast, the dams now under construction are mostly designed to supply power to, for example, steel manufacturers, without directly benefiting local communities. The people affected by these projects reap no benefits, such as access to electricity or a cheaper power supply. The transmission line passes over the heads of the people affected and takes the electricity generated straight to the major cities and urban industries. https://phys.org/news/2019-01-social-environmental-hydropower-underestimated.html Page 25 of 27

The report has found that Tanzania now has 109 mini-grids, serving over 180,000 people. The country’s mini-grids’ 157.7MW of installed capacity consists of; hydro, biomass, hybrid, fossil fuel and solar systems. By comparison, Tanzania’s central grid has an installed generation capacity of approximately 1,500MW, with mostly hydro and natural gas, serving around 9 million people. Commenting about the report, Deputy Minister for energy and minerals, said: “Given the challenges of insufficient electricity and difficulties for the national grid to reach all areas in the country, it is essential to develop mini- grids, micro-grids and stand-alone electrification.” According to the study, by 2040, an estimated 140 million rural Africans will get electricity from mini-grids, requiring more than 100,000 mini-grids to be built.
