QUESTION 3
3.1. The Grade 12 learners investigated the effect of abscisic acid on plant dormancy.
The procedure was as follows:
e A greenhouse was set up with a constant temperature of 28 °C and a 30%
humidity level.
° 16 pear trees of similar age and size were placed in the greenhouse.
. The trees were divided into group A and group B with 8 trees in each
group.
In group A, the 8 trees were treated with abscisic acid for 5 days.
In group B, the 8 trees were treated with water only for 5 days.
The shedding of leaves by the plants was observed.
The learners recorded their observations for seven days.
The diagram below shows the observation made at the end of the seven days.
The diagram does NOT represent all the trees that were investigated nor the
actual size of the trees.

3.5 Read the extract below on the effect of alcohol on the brain’s communication
pathways.
Alcohol consumption can interfere with brain communication pathways and
affect its appearance and function. It can make it more difficult for the brain to
control balance, memory, speech and judgement. This leads to a higher
likelihood of injuries and other negative outcomes.
Neurons can shrink because of long-term heavy drinking. Alcohol blocks
chemical signals between brain cells, leading to immediate intoxication
symptoms, including impulsive behaviour, slurred speech, poor memory and
slowed reflexes. Heavy drinking over a long time can make the brain respond
more dramatically to certain brain chemicals. This can lead to painful and
potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms that damage brain cells.
Excessive alcohol use can cause chemical and molecular modifications in the
brain, causing a decrease in overall brain volume, specifically within the frontal
lobe/prefrontal cortex, cerebellum and hippocampus (a complex brain structure
embedded deep in the temporal lobe). Alcohol destroys brain cells, contracts
brain tissue and also damages the liver and pancreas.
3.5.1. What is the hippocampus?
3.5.2 Identify the part of the brain that: “
(a) Controls memory, speech and judgement (1)
(b) Controls the concentration of carbon dioxide in the body (1)
3.5.3. Give ONE effect of long-term heavy drinking. (1)
3.5.4 Explain the consequences of the answer to QUESTION 3.5.3. (2)
3.5.5 State the disease that is caused by the damage of the nerve
tissues within the brain. (1)
3.5.6 Explain the effect of alcohol on the functioning of the pancreas in
controlling the blood glucose level. (3)

If more information than marks allocated is given
Stop marking when maximum marks are reached and put a wavy line and ‘max’ in
the right-hand margin.
If, for example, three reasons are required and five are given
Mark the first three irrespective of whether all or some are correct/incorrect.
If whole process is given when only a part of it is required Read all and credit
the relevant part.
If comparisons are asked for but descriptions are given Accept if the
differences/similarities are clear.
If tabulation is required but paragraphs are given Candidates will lose marks
for not tabulating.
If diagrams are given with annotations when descriptions are required
Candidates will lose marks.
If flow charts are given instead of descriptions Candidates will lose marks.
If sequence is muddled and links do not make sense
Where sequence and links are correct, credit. Where sequence and links are
incorrect, do not credit. If sequence and links become correct again, resume credit.
Non-recognised abbreviations
Accept if first defined in answer. If not defined, do not credit the unrecognized
abbreviation but credit the rest of the answer if correct.
Wrong numbering
If answer fits into the correct sequence of questions but the wrong number is
given, it is acceptable.
If language used changes the intended meaning Do not accept.
Spelling errors
If recognizable, accept the answer, provided it does not mean something else in
Life Sciences or if it is out of context.
If common names are given in terminology
Accept, provided it was accepted at the National memo discussion meeting.
If only the letter is asked for but only the name is given (and vice versa) Do
not credit.

Caption
All illustrations (diagrams, drawings, graphs, tables, etc.) must have a caption.
Code-switching of official languages (terms and concepts)
A single word or two that appear(s) in any official language other than the learners’
assessment language used to the greatest extent in his/her answers should be
credited, if it is correct. A marker that is proficient in the relevant official language
should be consulted. This is applicable to all official languages.
Changes to the marking guideline
No changes must be made to the marking guideline without consulting the
Provincial Internal Moderator.

Only the official marking guidelines must be used.
