1 A student drew two types of white blood cell, from a slide viewed using a
light microscope.
X Y
Cell A Cell B
The student used the internet to research the actual diameter of these two types
of cell.
The student found several values for the diameters of cell A and cell B. They used the
mean value for the diameter of cell B to calculate the magnification of the drawing
of cell B.
The student calculated the magnification of the drawing of cell B to be × 1571.
The student found the following values for the diameter of cell A:
0.016 mm, 0.022 mm, 0.019 mm, 0.021 mm, 0.017 mm.

this cell.
Measure the diameter of cell A between the points X and Y on the diagram.

2 Triglycerides, found in living organisms, have different melting points.
Ede
Two factors that affect the melting point of a triglyceride are:
1. the length of the fatty acid chains
2. whether the fatty acid chains are saturated or unsaturated.
(a) A triglyceride is made from the components glycerol and fatty acids.
(i) How many of the following statements about triglycerides are correct?
(1)
• a glycerol molecule is joined to each fatty acid by an ester bond
• an unsaturated fatty acid has at least one double bond between two
carbon atoms
• all triglycerides have three fatty acids joined to a glycerol
A none
B one
C two
D three
(ii) The table shows the relative atomic mass of the elements present in
a triglyceride.
Element Relative atomic mass
carbon 12
hydrogen 1
oxygen 16
How much lower is the molecular mass of this triglyceride molecule, after
it has been made from its components, compared with the sum of its
component molecules?
