(iii) Does not require external agents.
(iv) Involves fusion of gametes.

(3aii)
(i) Wind
(ii) Insects

(3bi)
(i) Herbivores
(ii) Carnivores
(iii) Omnivores

(3bii)
(i) Herbivores -Goat
(ii) Carnivores – Lion
(iii) Omnivores – Man

(3ci)
(i) It kills aquatic organisms.
(ii) It makes water unsafe for consumption and domestic uses.
(iii) It reduces light penetration in water hence affecting aquatic plants.
(iv) It puts fishermen out of business.

(3cii)
(i) It transport unwanted materials to sites of excretion
(ii) It transport nutrient to all body cells
(iii) It helps in fighting infection
(iv) It brings about clotting.
================================================================
(5ai)
(i) Regulation of extracellular fluid volume. The kidneys work to ensure an adequate quantity of plasma to keep blood flowing to vital organs.
(ii) Regulation of osmolarity.
(iii) Regulation of ion concentrations.
(iv) Excretion of wastes and toxins.
(v) Production of hormones.
(vi) Regulation of pH.

(5aii)
(i) Osmolality regulation: Osmolality is a measure of the body’s electrolyte-water balance, or the ratio between fluid and minerals in the body. Dehydration is a primary cause of electrolyte imbalance.

(ii) Regulating blood pressure:
The kidneys regulate blood pressure when necessary, but they are responsible for slower adjustments.
