Important information
Read this information sheet before you start working.
You have 240 minutes to complete the higher level paper.
The Higher Level Exam consists of two sections.

You can achieve 80 points by answering correctly the assignments common for all
candidates (I-X.).
The last assignment (XI.) has two versions (version A and B). ONLY ONE OF THESE
VERSIONS SHOULD BE ANSWERED. The 20 points for the last assignment
CAN ONLY BE GIVEN FOR ONE OF THE TWO OPTIONAL VERSIONS, so no more
points will be achieved, if you have started answering both. Supposing you did so,
YOU ARE ASKED TO CROSS OUT THE UNWANTED VERSION WITH PEN before
submitting the exam. Otherwise examiners will automatically mark version „A”.
When answering multiple choice questions one or more CAPITAL LETTERS should
be written into the empty boxes. (Not numbers.) These are the codes for the right
answer(s). Make sure that your letters are unambiguous, because uncertain answers will not
be accepted. In case of correction you are asked TO CROSS OUT the wrong letter clearly
and TO WRITE THE CODE FOR THE RIGHT ONE BESIDE IT.
A D Correct A DC Acceptable BD Wrong
When answering open-ended questions technical terms, short answers of 1-or-2 words, a
sentence or several sentences should be created. Take care of GRAMMATICAL
CORRECTNESS. Grammatically ambiguous or unintelligible answers (e.g. uncertain subject
in a sentence) will not be accepted even if the right answer is included.
Use black or blue ink.
DON’T WRITE INTO THE GREY-

-COLOURED BOXES.
We wish you a good work.

An English biochemist, Peter Mitchell (1920-1992) threw light on the work of mitochondria
as it is shown on the following figure.
Peter Mitchell
The inner membrane is represented with a thick line; enzymes of terminal oxidation are marked with
black dots on the figure of the unbroken (intact) mitochondrion. Mitchell smashed up mitochondria
(middle figure) in the first part of his experiment and then he let broken membrane fragments fuse
together randomly into small spheres again (figures on the right side). The three possible situations are
shown on the figure. In situation „a”, the fragments of the outer membrane fuse. In situation „b”,
fragments of the inner membrane fuse, but they are injured or enzymes are inversely positioned. In
case „c”, the inner membrane is intact and its enzymes are correctly positioned. If Mitchell provided
every substance (oxygen, glucose, enzymes) and the necessary conditions, the first two steps of
glucose oxidation (glycolysis and citric acid cycle) started, but terminal oxidation took place only in
cases „b” and „c”. Spheres with different structures showed different behaviour.

6. Which molecules made it possible for the membrane fragments to fuse again?
A) Proteins
B) Nucleic acids
C) Carbohydrates
D) Hydrocarbons
E) Lipids
7. What sort of activity could Mitchell experience in situation „b” (on this figure)?
A) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced carbon dioxide and ATP.
B) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced water and ATP.
C) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced ATP.
D) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, but spheres did not produce ATP.
E) Spheres did not carry out any processes of terminal oxidation.
8. What sort of activity could Mitchell experience in situation „c” (on this figure)?
A) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced carbon dioxide and ATP.
B) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced water and ATP.
C) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, spheres produced ATP.
D) Both glucose and oxygen level decreased, but spheres did not produce ATP.
E) Spheres did not carry out any processes of terminal oxidation.
From the results of his experiments, Mitchell concluded that the completeness of the
membrane was required for ATP synthesis, because the concentration gradient of H+ could
only be preserved this way. According to his model, enzymes of terminal oxidation pump
protons out of the membrane and the cell uses this concentration gradient for ATP synthesis
later on. He carried out some precise pH measurements in unbroken mitochondria and these
measurements proved his hypothesis. What was the result he could experience? Write the
letter of the correct answer into the box.

VIII. Peppered nerve endings 6 points

Read the following excerpt carefully and answer the questions.
“We can often learn the most efficient therapies from living organisms themselves. This
statement is supported by a new discovery from the Neuropharmacological Team of the
University of Pécs. Capsaicin extracted from hot pepper, which causes inflammation by
stimulating sensory neurons, triggers the release of an anti-inflammatory agent at the same
time. On the basis of this discovery, a new anti-inflammatory and painkiller medicine is
proposed that will be tested on patients in the near future.
Now, we are aware of the fact that those sensory neurons are sensitive to capsaicin that have
capsaicin-receptors. This receptor can be stimulated by several other chemicals, such as the
piperine from the black pepper…. The capsaicin receptor is an ion channel located in the cell
membrane of neurons. When capsaicin or other substance of the same effect attaches to it, the
channel opens and sodium and calcium ions rush into the cell – this sudden activation is
responsible for the feeling of sharpness.”
Julianna Víg
Write the letters for correct answers into the empty boxes.
1. What sort of transport process is the influx of sodium ions into the cells?
A) A passive process, because the concentration of sodium ions is higher outside the cell,
than inside.
B) A passive process, because it does not require energy.
C) An active process, because materials flow across an ion channel.
D) An active process, because a charged ion is transported.
E) An active process, because it happens across the cell membrane.
2. What are the consequences of sodium ions flowing into the sensory neuron due to the
chemical stimulus?
A) Concentrations of ions temporarily change within the cell.

B) The intracellular space becomes more negative than in the resting state.
C) A change in the membrane potential develops in the cell membrane of
the sensory neuron.
D) There is an irreversible change in the intracellular concentrations of ions.
E) The resting potential is restored.
3. Where does the perception (“the feel”) of pain caused by capsaicin develop?
A) In the sensory neuron.

B) In the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord.
C) In the grey matter of the appropriate region of spinal cord.
D) In the medulla oblongata.
E) In the cerebral cortex.

“Anyone who has already sliced hot pepper (paprika) into “lecsó” (= pepper and tomato stew)
could experience the later effect of capsaicin: besides the burning pain an inflammatory
reaction develops on the contact area.
However, a third function of them was also identified: the stimulation triggers anti-
inflammatory and painkiller effects.
This third function of capsaicin-sensitive nerve endings, the general anti-inflammatory and
painkilling effect, is carried out by a molecule called somatostatin that gets into the
bloodstream.
Somatostatin looked promising as a good medicine among experimental conditions….
However its application as a medicine encounters two serious difficulties. First, it is a peptide,
therefore it can not be absorbed if taken orally. Second, it breaks down quickly if it is given in
infusion, so its biological effectiveness is bad. The other big problem is that somatostatin is a
multifunctional hormone influencing many different cells: e.g. it inhibits the production of
growth hormone.”
4. Why can not peptides be taken orally as medicines?
A) Because they are macromolecules.

B) Because digestive enzymes of saliva break down peptides.
C) Because digestive enzymes of gastric juice break down peptides.
D) Because digestive enzymes of pancreatic juice break down peptides.
E) Because they become irreversibly denatured.
5. Name the gland and its specific part where growth hormone is produced.

6. What possible effect may occur if production of growth hormone is artificially inhibited?
Write the letter of the correct answer into the box.

IX. Three types of learning 6 points
An American psychologist, Frederic Skinner (1904-1990), who studied the behaviour of

animals, introduced the Skinner box (named after him) in research. After pressing a given
lever, the experimental animal got food, and in the case of another lever a slight electric shock
was applied. Shortly after, rats pressed exclusively the lever that gave food.
The letter(s) for the correct answers should be written in the empty box(es).
1. What type of learning resulted in this behaviour? (1 point)
A) Associative learning (classical conditioning)

B) A reflex action
C) Habituation
D) Insight learning
E) Operant conditioning
2. Skinner believed that both animals and humans obtain all their knowledge and
behavioural elements in a way like this. Nowadays not many scientists agree with him.
Which phenomena support that innate (inborn) elements also play an important role in
behaviour? (1 point)
A) Poses of submission at predators.

B) The process of insight learning in apes.
C) Discovery of imitative learning.
D) Imprinting at birds.
E) Courtship display or song before mating in Vertebrates.

3. Learning methods of rats in a Skinner box differ in many ways from the learning method
recognised by Pavlov (associative learning). What differences can you mention? (1 point)
A) In Skinner’s experiment the animal is active, while in Pavlov’s it is passive.

B) Innate behaviour did not play a role in Pavlov’s experiment.
C) The rat in Skinner’s experiment had an insight into the effective behavioural pattern.
D) In Pavlov’s experiment, stimuli were given nearly simultaneously. In Skinner’s
experiment, reward or punishment followed the given behaviour pattern.
E) Pavlov’s results can only be applied to salivation, while
those of Skinner can not.
4. There are many similarities between the two methods of learning (studied by Skinner and
Pavlov.) Which ones are these? (1 point)
A) The experimental animal associated stimuli in both experiments.

B) Results of none of the scientists can be applied directly to the explanation of human
behaviour patterns.
C) We can conclude from the results of experiments that animals are also able to think.
D) We can conclude from the results of experiments how an animal would behave in its
natural environment.
E) Both scientists drew conclusions from experiments repeated many times.
Parallel to the experiments of Skinner and Pavlov, a German psychologist, Wolfgang Köhler
(1887-1967), observed the behaviour of chimpanzees. The following excerpt was taken from
Köhler’s diary:
“Outside the cage, there is the target object in front of the animal, but the bars of the cage are
covered with a dense wire mesh from below. Although the animal can manipulate with a long
stick, but as she pulls the target object with the stick in vain, she can not reach it because of
the mesh. Sultana pushes the target object sideways with the stick to a point, where there is a
hole in the mesh. Now she is able the reach out and grab the food through the hole. (…)
In this actual experimental situation, she must push the object away in 90○ and 180○ (if 0○
means the animal-object direction) from herself. The first half of the experiment (A) (pushing
the target object to another location and locating it farther away) is rather harmful…than
useful to the animal. However, section B (going to the other point and grabbing the object)
can not be taken into consideration yet at this time.
Is it possible that the whole action plan (AB) based on the surveyed situation just suddenly
appears to the animal (or human)? I can not imagine other explanation, because the beginning
of the action does not include elements of the solution, what’s more it seems to be directly
opposite to it. (…) It is well-known that there is a “whole” which is more than “the sum of its
parts”. What’s more here the “whole” is somehow opposite to one of its parts - and this is a
really unique outcome.”
