BIOLOGY 0100 ACTUAL PAPER 2026
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
◉ Osmosis.
Answer: A passive movement of water molecules through a semi
permeable membrane. Water moves from an area of low solute
concentration to high solute concentration
◉ Active Transport.
Answer: An active movement where an input of energy is required.
Particles move from low concentration to high concentration
◉ Facilitated Diffusion.
Answer: A passive movement of particles from high to low
concentration through a protein channel in a cell.
◉ Isotonic Solution.
Answer: The same concentration of dissolved substances. Water in =
water out.
◉ Hypertonic Solution.
Answer: Higher concentration of solutes outside cell than inside
,◉ Plasmolyse.
Answer: When a cell has shrunk
◉ Hypotonic Solution.
Answer: A cell has more solute inside than outside.
◉ Turgid.
Answer: Cell may explode under pressure due to a hypotonic
solution.
◉ Exocytosis.
Answer: Movement out of a cell
◉ Endocytosis.
Answer: Movement into a cell
◉ Lysosome.
Answer: A vesicle that contains destructive/digestive chemicals
◉ Pinocytosis.
,Answer: A form of endocytosis where a cell engulfs liquid into the
cell.
◉ Phagocytosis.
Answer: A form of endocytosis where a cell engulfs solids into a cell
◉ Scientific question.
Answer: Questions that can be answered by using experiments and
factual reasoning.
◉ Biology.
Answer: The study of living organisms and how they function.
◉ Scientific Method.
Answer: A method of procedure that has characterized natural
science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation,
measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and
modification of hypotheses.
◉ Hypothesis.
Answer: 1st part of the scientific method
◉ experimental design.
, Answer: Experimental design refers to how participants are
allocated to the different conditions (or IV groups) in an experiment.
◉ variable.
Answer: factors that are kept constant or unchanging.
◉ observation.
Answer: The process of studying of something to gain information.
◉ inference.
Answer: A conclusion made up of facts and inferring knowledge.
◉ conclusion.
Answer: The final ending or idea of a process
◉ prediction.
Answer: A statement about the hypothesis
◉ qualitative observations.
Answer: detailed examination with your senses only
◉ quantitative observations.
