The table below shows the scientists’ results.Concentration of salt in arbitrary units Mass of 10 lugworms at start in grams Mass of 10 lugworms after 8 hours in grams Change in mass in grams Percentage (%) change in mass 1.041.2 61.8 +20.6+50 2.037.5 45.0 +7.53.055.0 56.1 +1.1+2 4.046.2 22.2 -24.0-52 5.045.3 22.6 -22.7-50 (i) The scientists calculated the percentage change in mass at each salt concentration. Why is the percentage change in mass more useful than just the change in mass in grams? Use information from the table in your answer. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ (2) (ii) Calculate the percentage change in mass for the 10 lugworms in the salt solution with a concentration of 2.0 arbitrary units. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ Percentage change in mass = ______________________ %

he lugworm lives in a U-shaped burrow in the sand on the seashore. The diagram below shows a lugworm in its burrow. 4.Page 8 of 18carbon dioxide280 * 0.25 = 70m^270more Surface area means higher surface area to volume ratio which increases the rate of diffusion allowing for more gas exchange meaning more oxygen can be absorbed by the blood which helps the athlete to perform aerobic resperation(a) Some scientists investigated the effect of different salt concentrations on lugworms. The scientists: • collected 50 lugworms from the seashore • separated them into five groups of 10 lugworms • weighed each group of 10 lugworms • placed each group into a different concentration of salt solution and left them for 8 hours • took each lugworm out of the solution and placed it on blotting paper for 30 seconds • re-weighed each group of 10 lugworms. (i) Why did the scientists use groups of 10 lugworms and not just 1 lugworm at each concentration? ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ (1) (ii) Suggest why the scientists placed each lugworm on blotting paper for 30 seconds before they reweighed the groups of lugworms. ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ (1) (iii) How might the method of blotting have caused errors in the results? ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ (1) (iv) Suggest one improvement the scientists could make to their investigation. ______________________________________________________________ (1)
