The process shows how plants create food 
The illustration shows the process by which plants are able to produce food. 
Plants require input from four different sources to produce the sugars that are 
needed. First, the roots absorb water. Added to this, the plant is able to convert 
sunlight into energy needed for the process to be able to take place. Additionally, 
carbon dioxide is taken from the atmosphere through the leaves. Finally come the 
minerals which are extracted from the soil through the roots. 
When combined, these four factors allow the plant to produce sugar, which is then 
converted into starch and stored in the leaves and the stem until required, when it is 
used for growth and repair of damaged leaves, stems or roots. A byproduct of this 
process is the conversion of carbon dioxide to oxygen, which is released into the air. 
Overall, the process requires four elements to function, and in turn produces two 
different effects.

Sample Answer 42
The line graph shows the cost for watching films. The pie charts show the change
in the percentage of market share represented by the three forms 
The line graph and pie charts illustrate the cost for watching movies in different 
formats, as well as the percentage split between type. 
The most notable trend with regard cost is that cinema tickets remained the most 
expensive way to watch a movie from 2005 to 2011, rising to a peak of slightly over 
£14 a ticket. Over the same period, DVD prices also increased by £2, from £6 to £8. 
Downloaded movies were more expensive than DVDs in 2005; this changed in 2007 
when they became the cheapest format, yet by 2011, the price had risen to £9. 
In 2005, the majority of people opted to hire DVDs, with those going to the cinema 
accounting for less than one third of the total, and movies from the internet 
representing only 6%. By 2011, however, both going to the cinema and renting had 
fallen as downloaded movies increased to just over one quarter of the market. 
Overall, it is clear that although prices increased on average for all three forms, an 
increasing percentage of people chose to download movies.
