(a) - Blood group O is a universal donor (as it donates to all other blood groups); *UGU*
- Blood group AB a universal receipient (as they receive blood from all other groups.
- Blood group A can receive blood from group O and A only.
- Blood group B can receive blood from O and B only.
- Blood group O does not receive blood from other blood groups except O.
- Compatibility of blood group
- Absence of pathogens in blood.
b)- The Rhesus factor matches.
(c)- When blood vessel is injured, exposed platelets rupture to release thromboplastin (enzymes); which converts prothrombin to thrombin; in presence of Ca2+ thrombin activates conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin; which forms mesh work of fibre in the cut

(Solved)
The table below shows the results of an experiment carried out to determine the rate of photosynthesis at different light intensities and varying Carbon (IV) oxide concentrations. The rate was determined by counting the number of bubbles per minute. The temperature was kept constant.
a) On a graph paper provided, draw a graph for each of the light intensities. All the three graphs should be plotted on the same axis (rate of photosynthesis on vertical axis and carbon (IV) oxide concentration on horizontal axis
b) What is the effect of an increase in carbon (IV) oxide concentrations and light intensities
c) Briefly explain how aquatic green plants meet light intensities and carbon (IV) oxide
requirement
d) Using the data provided in the table state two factors required by the green plants for food
production
