2024 WAEC BIOLOGY ESSAY OR THEORY ANSWERS:
(1ai)
Glomerulus:
(PICK ANY ONE)
(i) It filters blood to form glomerular filtrate.
(ii) It removes waste products and excess substances from the bloodstream.
(iii)
It initiates the urine formation process by allowing water and small
molecules to pass through while retaining larger molecules like
proteins.
(1aii)
Bowman's capsule:
(PICK ANY ONE)
(i) It collects the filtrate produced by the glomerulus.
(ii) It forms primary urine by capturing the filtrate and directing it into the nephron.
(iii) It serves as a funnel, guiding the filtrate into the proximal convoluted tubule for further processing.
(1aiii)
Proximal convoluted tubule:
(PICK ANY ONE)
(i) It reabsorbs water, ions, and nutrients from the filtrate back into the bloodstream.
(ii) It plays a crucial role in secreting waste products such as hydrogen ions and ammonia into the tubular fluid.
(iii) It maintains pH balance by selectively reabsorbing bicarbonate ions and secreting hydrogen ions.
(1aiv)
Distal convoluted tubule:
(PICK ANY ONE)
(i) It reabsorbs sodium and water, thus playing a key role in regulating blood pressure and fluid balance.
(ii) It secretes potassium and hydrogen ions, which helps in maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance.
(iii) It also regulates calcium and phosphate levels in the blood, contributing to bone health and metabolic functions.

(ii) Skin:
-Regulating body temperature through sweating to cool down the individual.
(iii) Tongue: Mixing food with saliva, aiding in taste and swallowing.
(iv) Kidney: Regulating water balance and blood pressure, since the individual did not drink water after the meal.
(v) Stomach: Mixing food with stomach acid and enzymes to break down proteins and carbohydrates.
(vi) Small intestine: Absorbing nutrients from the broken-down food into the bloodstream.
(vii) Large intestine: Absorbing water and electrolytes from the remaining waste material.
(viii) Liver: Detoxifying the blood, metabolizing nutrients, and regulating blood sugar levels.
(2b)
(i) Mouth (contains salivary amylase)
(ii) Stomach (contains pepsin and gastric amylase)
(iii) Small intestine (contains various enzymes like lactase, sucrase, and proteases)
(iv) Tongue (contains amylase)
(2c)
(PICK ANY THREE)
(i) Amylase
(ii) Pepsin

(PICK ANY TWO)
(i) Glucose
(ii) Amino acids
(iii) Fatty acids and glycerol
(iv) Vitamins and minerals
(2ei)
(PICK ONLY ONE)

(i) The meat may turn dark brown or grey as it starts to spoil.
(ii) A strong, unpleasant smell of decay will likely develop due to bacterial decomposition.

Competition is the process by which living organisms in a habitat struggle or compete with one another for limited essential needs such as food, light, nutrients, shelter or space in the environment.
OR
Competition is an interaction between organisms or species in which both the organisms or species are harmed. It arises when individuals or populations vie for the same resource (such as food, water, space, shelter, mate, ecological status, etc.) that is in limited supply.
(5aii)
(i) Intraspecific competition

(5aiii)
(PICK ANY FOUR)
(i) Food
(ii) Water
(iii) Shelter
(iv) Space
(v) Sunlight
(vi) Nutrients
(5aiv)
(PICK ANY ONE)
During succession, early pioneer species colonize an area with little competition due to harsh conditions. As the ecosystem matures, resources increase, leading to heightened competition among species. This competition drives the succession process, as more competitive species outcompete and replace earlier ones, resulting in a progressively more diverse and stable ecosystem over time.
OR
Competition and succession are linked in ecosystems. Early in succession, pioneer species face little competition. As ecosystems develop, resources increase, and competition among species intensifies. This drives succession, with more competitive species replacing earlier ones, leading to a stable and mature ecosystem.
(5bi)
(PICK ANY ONE)
Structural adaptation refers to physical features of an organism that enhance its ability to survive and reproduce in its specific environment. These adaptations involve the organism's body structure, such as shape, size, and special body parts, that help it to survive in its habitat.
