Outline the differences between wind and insect pollinated flowers

-
Flowers  of  wind  pollinated  plants  are  small;  with  no  bracts,  sepals  or  petals;  if  present  the petals  are  small,  inconspicuous;  often  white  or  green  in  colour;  while  insect  pollinated  flowers are  large;  often  with  brightly  coloured  petals,  bracts  or  inflorescence;  to  attract  insects.  Flowers of  wind  pollinated  plants  have  no  nectaries;  and  no  scent;  while  flowers  of  insect  pollinated plants  are  scented;  and  produce  nectar;  in  wind  pollinated  flowers,  the  anthers  are  large;  and loosely  attached  on  a  flexible  filament;  to  allow  pollen  grains  to  be  readily  released  when  wind blows  on  the  anthers;  while  anthers  of  insect  pollinated  flowers  are  usually  small;  and  firmly attached  on  the  filaments;  this  ensures  that  the  insect  rub  against  the  anther;  as  they  crawl  into the  flower  collecting  pollen  grains  onto  their  bodies;  in  wind  pollinated  flowers,  the  stigmas  are feathery;  widely  spread;  this  acts  as  nets  to  catch  pollen  as  it  floats  through  the  air;  while  in insect  pollinated  flowers  the  stigmas  are  small;  smooth;  and  sticky;  and  are  also  enclosed;  this feature  ensures  that  pollen  grains  from  the  body  of  an  insect  stick  onto  it;  in  wind  pollinated flowers,  the  flowers  are  simple  with  no  particular  shape;  while  some  flowers  that  are  insect pollinated  have  petals  with  grooves  or  dark  lines;  leading  from  the  petal  boarder  to  the nectaries;  some  have  tubular  or  funnel-shaped  corolla;  and  landing  platforms;  to  guide  the insect  to  the  source  of  the  nectar  for  their  food;  flowers  of  wind  pollinated  plants  are  either  on long  stalks  above  the  leaves;  or  develop  from  flower  buds  that  open  before  the  leaf  buds;  to increase  the  flower  exposure  to  air  currents;  while  flowers  of  insect  pollinated  plants  are  on short  stalks;  often  enclosed  by  the  corolla;  Max.  20  mks

DESCRIBE THE ADAPTATIONS OF THE ILEUM TO ITS FUNCTION (20 MARKS)

-
Has secretory glands/crypts of lieberkuhn which secretes enzymes (maltase/sucrase/lactase/peptidase/lipase to complete digestion of sugars/proteins/lipids. Goblet cells secrete mucus which allows for smooth movement of food and protect wall of ileum from action of digestive enzymes Very long to provide large surface area for absorption. Highly folded/coiled to slow movement of food to allow more time for digestion/absorption/ and to increase surface area for absorption. Has numerous villi which increase surface area for absorption/microvilli which further increase surface area for absorption. Ileum wall/villi have thin epithelium which is only one cell thick to reduce distance over which digested food has to diffuse. Villi are highly vascularised/have a rich network of blood capillaries for rapid transport from small intestines and maintain a steep concentration gradient for rapid absorption. Villi have lacteals for absorption of fatty acids and glycerol Cells of ileum wall h...

Explain how structures of the human ear are adapted to their functions. (20 marks)

Image
The pinna;- is funnel shaped to trap sound waves; cartilaginous to maintain the funnel shape; collects and directs sound waves into the external auditory meatus ear; The external auditory canal; - a tube connected to the pinna that directs sound waves from the pinna to the eardrum lining the auditory canal; has hair that trap foreign particles; The canal contains wax-secreting cells; and hair which traps dust particles; and pathogenic bacteria hence prevent them from getting into the ear; The eardrum; - has a thin tough membrane; that easily vibrates when hit by sound waves; transferring them into vibrations. The ear ossiscles; - they act like a layer and they easily move forward and backward to amplify sound vibrations that hit them; The suspensory ligaments; - suspends the ear ossicles and prevents excessive vibration that would otherwise damage the inner parts of the ear; The eustachian tube - it connects the middle ear with the pharynx; and it equalises air pressure between...

KCSE 2010 Q8. Describe how a finned fish such as Tilapia moves in water. (20 marks)

-
The following describes how  a finned fish such as Tilapia moves in water . v       Water is denser than air. The density of water supports fish and provides a medium in which it swims. v       It has a streamlined body; reducing resistance, thus easily swims in the water. v       The scales overlap pointing backwards allowing water to pass over the fish without obstruction. Mucus is also secreted over the scales reducing friction during movement. v       They have a flexible backbone onto which segments of muscle blocks, myotomes, are attached. The muscles contract and relax bringing about undulating movements. v       The fish have fins that help in steering and balancing fish during swimming. v       The pectoral and pelvic fins are paired. They are used for braking, steering and v   ...
