Every sheet in May 1979

The same date always regenerates the same five questions, so a sheet you print today is the sheet a classmate prints tomorrow.

  1. 1st May 1979State the function of the valves in the heart and in veins.
  2. 2nd May 1979Name the organelle in a plant cell where photosynthesis takes place.
  3. 3rd May 1979State the type of diabetes in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
  4. 4th May 1979The Arctic fox has small, rounded ears compared with the desert fennec fox, which has very large ears. State whether this is a structural, behavioural or functional adaptation, and explain how it helps the Arctic fox survive.
  5. 5th May 1979Name one method used to sterilise fresh water during the production of potable water.
  6. 6th May 1979Write the formula of calcium chloride and explain the ratio.
  7. 7th May 1979Write the word equation for the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.
