QUESTION 3

3.1. Read the extract below.

The weevil, Neochetina eichhorniae.has been
very effective in controlling the Water Hyacinth.
The weevil feeds on the soft parts of the plant,
preventing the plant from reproducing and
causing it to break up.

The Water Hyacinth is an

invasive alien plant that has taken over South
African rivers, dams and lakes.

If left uncontrolled, Water Hyacinth grows and forms
a thick layer that covers the surface of the water.

Researchers wanted to determine the optimum number of weevils to release per plant.

+ Thev arew Water Hyacinth in six large water tanks.
+ They placed a different number of weevils in each tank.

+ They then recorded the number of days it took the weevils to control the Water Hyacinth.

The results are recorded in the table below.

Number of weevils per plants

Which single country emitted the most carbon dioxide to the
environment?

Explain the impact of the increased carbon dioxide emissions on the
environment.

Each country has been given a mandate to reduce its carbon
dioxide emissions to reach a certain target. This is reviewed
annually by the Conference of Parties (COP), a United Nations
organization comprising of 195 countries that meets to assess
progress in dealing with climate change.

Explain TWO reasons why some countries are against reducing the
carbon dioxide emissions by their industries.

The diagram below is that of a bacterial cell.

Identify parts labelled 5 and 7.
State the function of the part labelled 1 and 7.

Microorganisms can be used in the production of medicines such as
insulin and antibiotics.
