7. viii. Both respiration and photosynthesis are important for living
organisms. How are these two processes opposite to one
another? Write FOUR differences between respiration and
photosynthesis.
Possible
answer
Differences between respiration and photosynthesis
Respiration Photosynthesis
It is energy releasing process. It is an energy storing process.
Stored energy of food
molecules is released for
cellular activities.
Energy of sunlight is trapped by
the chlorophyll and converted
into chemical energy and stored
in organic food molecules.
Glucose and oxygen are the
raw materials while carbon
dioxide and water are the
products.
Carbon dioxide and water are
used as raw materials while
glucose and oxygen are the
products.
Oxygen is required in aerobic
respiration.
Oxygen is liberated as by
product.
It takes place in all the cells of
all living organisms.
It takes place only in green cells
of plants, algae and some
bacteria.
It is destructive (catabolic)
process during which organic
food molecules are broken and
energy is released.
It is constructive (anabolic)
process during which organic
food molecules are synthesized
and energy is stored.
Due to respiration, loss of
weight occurs.
Due to photosynthesis, plant
body gains weight.
It occurs round the clock, day
and night. It does not require
sunlight.
It occurs during the daytime
when sunlight is available which
is necessary for it.

muscles to bones and ligaments join two bones.
b. Smooth muscles: These are found in the walls of hollow
structures such as blood vessels, gut etc. They produce slow
contractions.
c. Nervous tissues: It is composed of nerve cells which are called
neurons. Neurons are capable of transmitting nerve impulses to
conduct messages in the whole body.
d. Epithelial tissue: The skin is made of epithelial tissue, which is
in the form of continuous sheets of cells. Epithelial tissue also lines
the gut, lungs and urinary tract.
ii. Cell Cycle: The series of events that take place in a eukaryotic
cell leading to its replication is called cell cycle.

Board
Peshawar
Possible
answer
i. Why is mitochondrial enzyme called intracellular?
All enzymes are synthesized inside cells. Mitochondrial enzyme
also work inside the cells so it is also called intracellular enzymes.
ii. Synthesis and breaking of ATP through ATP-ADP cycle
Synthesis: ATP molecules are constantly broken by the cell into
ADP and inorganic phosphate and energy is obtained.
Breaking of ATP: ATP molecules are constantly regenerated from
ADP and phosphate using energy released from the breakdown of
food. This is how constant cycle of ATP breakdown and reformation
goes on in the living cells.

i. State symptoms, causes and preventions of the diarrhea.
(1+1+1)
DIARRHEA
Symptoms frequent, watery, loose bowel movement,
abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting
Causes bacterial infection, viral or parasitic infection of the
colon walls
Prevention can be prevented by taking sufficient amounts of
clean water and food
ii. Differentiate between Atherosclerosis and Arteriosclerosis
(2+2)
Atherosclerosis Arteriosclerosis
It is characterized by the
deposition of fatty material e.g.
cholesterol inside the arteries.
Due to this, the lumen (interior)
of the artery becomes narrow
and blood flows with difficulty.
Later, the artery may
completely be blocked. Some
obvious reasons of
atherosclerosis are
hypertension, smoking,
diabetes mellitus and increased
lipid level in blood
It is the hardening of the
arteries due to the deposition of
calcium in the walls of the
arteries. Such artery cannot
expand when blood is pumped
with pressure into it with
systole. Due to this inflexibility
makes the heart to work hard.
This disorder occurs with
increasing age.
Marking
Hints
i. ONE mark for each correct symptom, causes and prevention of
Diarrhea. 1+1+1= 3 marks
ii. TWO marks for correct description (differences) of
Atherosclerosis. 2 marks
TWO marks for correct description (differences) of
Arteriosclerosis. 2 marks
