1a)Plants take in some compounds like carbon dioxide through their leaves. They absorb some other materials such as compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus, etc., from the soil through their roots.
the transport system consists of tube like passages made up of vascular tissue. There are two types of vascular tissues in plants—xylem and phloem.
The vascular system extends from the roots through the stem and continues up to the leaves. In the leaves it is clearly seen as a pattern of veins. Water and minerals are transported from the roots upwards through the xylem tubes.

(2ai)
Enzymes are organic catalyst which speed up the rate of chemical reaction but remain chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction

(2aii)
-They are protenious in nature
-They are specific in nature
-They are usually involved in reversible reactions
-They are PH dependent
-They are temperature dependent
-They remain chemically unchanged at the end f the reaction

(2b)
Pancreatic juice contains erepsin,maltase,sucrase and lactase
-Erepsin converts polypeptides to amino acids
-Maltase converts maltose to two glucose
-Sucrase converts sucrose to glucose and fructose
-Lactase converts lactose to glucose and galactose

6a)
i)mimicry is a similarity of one species to another that protects one or both.
An example of this is the cuckoo bee.
ii)Camouflage is the structural adaption that enables specie s to blend with their
surroundings; allows a species to avoid
detection by predators.
