(a)(i) Functions of a typical foliage leaf

• Manufacture of food by photosynthesis.
• Gaseous exchange (intake of carbon dioxide and oxygen) through the stomata.
• Loss of water vapour by transpiration, which helps in the upward pull of water.
• Storage of food and water in some leaves.

(a)(ii) Three types of leaf modification with one example each

(Also acceptable: insect-trapping leaf - pitcher plant; bract - Bougainvillea.)

(b) Diagram of the female reproductive part of a flowering plant

The female part is the pistil (carpel/gynoecium). A clear drawing (8-10 cm) should show and label, from top to bottom: the stigma (sticky, receives pollen); the style (stalk connecting stigma to ovary); and the swollen ovary cut to show the ovules attached to the placenta by the funicle, with the micropyle and ovule wall (integuments) indicated.

(c) Three plants pollinated by insects

1. Hibiscus (flamboyant/showy flower).
2. Flamboyant (Delonix regia).
3. Crotalaria (or sunflower, Bougainvillea, Ixora).
