-
Q7 (a)
very good
correct type of succession shown
~ 50% provided a proper explanation
simply gave the definition of 2nd ecological succession
without referring to the given situation

Q7 (a)

-
Q7 (b) (i)
poor
few candidates realized that nitrogen cycle is involved
the top soil with humus containing the nitrogen compounds
mixed up the roles of the different bacteria involved
a few candidates mentioned the actions of nitrogen fixing bacteria (those in the root nodules of some plant species)
some candidates simply described the data and did not offer any explanation

Q7 (b) (i)
Monday, November 25, 2019 2019 HKDSE Biology Briefing Session 10
-
Q7 (b) (ii)
satisfactory
just pointed out the change in the plant composition (more herbaceous plant species than woody plant species in the early stage and increasing number of woody plant species / decreasing number of herbaceous plant species at a later stage)
gave explanations such as ‘the shading of the woody plants hindered the growth of herbaceous plants’ or ‘herbaceous plants had a faster growth rate than woody plants’, which were not related to the change in soil nitrogen content
simply described the data and did not offer any explanation
wrongly thought that woody plants became the dominant species Monday, November 25, 2019 2019 HKDSE Biology Briefing Session 11

Ultrasound?
-
Q8 (a) (ii)
choices were given
Excellent
71% of the candidates were able to provide an elaboration of how the events in the discovery of ultrasound navigation of bats could be used to illustrate different aspects of the NOS

Q8 (b) (i)
very poor
did not distinguish between results and conclusions
simply described the results, e.g. ‘treatment A and treatment B resulted in the same rate of successful escape’
not aware of the purpose of including the treatment involving cutting and regluing the wing tail in the experimental design
a few candidates were able to point out that the manipulation involving cutting and gluing had no effect whatsoever on the rate of successful escape

Q8 (c)
satisfactory
failed to mention that the length of the wing tail was a genetic variation
pointed out that the moths with long wing tails have a higher chance of survival but they failed to identify predation by bats as the selection pressure

Q9 (a)
Fair
Many candidates just gave description about the decrease in the average mass of the two snails
only some of them were able to deduce the ecological relationship of the two snails (competition)
failed to deduce the effect of competition on the population of snail K

Q9 (b)
poor
had difficulty in relating the destruction of young leaves and buds to the chance of reproduction.
focused on the growth of individual plants instead of the effect on the community of the local wetland.
