observation

 

This question was attempted by many candidates and the candidates performance was fairly good.
                                                                                                                                          
In part (a) candidates were not able to make good drawings of diagrams.  In part (b)(i) and (ii) some candidates were not able to define tissue fluid and to outline functions of tissue fluid.    

The expected answers were as follows:
