It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2019 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 2 of 21 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 3 of 21 GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0413/11 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2019 © UCLES 2019 Page 14 of 21 Question Answer Marks 9 1 mark for each correct classification. flat bone; long bone; short bone; 3 Question Answer Marks 10(a) 1 mark for naming an appropriate food source for each nutrient. Food sources must be different. for example: carbohydrates: bread / potatoes / pasta; protein: eggs / fish / pulses; fat: butter / oils / avocado; Accept other examples of foods rich in the named nutrients. 3 10(b) 1 mark awarded for each suggested reason. for example: the runner may have a higher intake of carbohydrates as he needs a greater energy store than the shot putter; the runner will need to perform for a longer duration so needs more energy sources / carbohydrates; the runner may carboload on carbohydrates in the week before an event / to increase glycogen stores in the muscle; the shot putter may consume higher levels of protein to build muscle / increase power / power-based activity; the runner will consume more carbohydrates for energy due to an endurance activity; the explosive nature of training / performing for the shot putter causes a high level of muscle damage / the need for more protein to aid repair; the runner may need lower amounts of protein due to less damage / only needs protein for repair not growth; the runner will need fats as an energy source when carbohydrates are used up; the runner’s diet may only contain small amounts of fat to prevent an increase in body weight; the shot putter may use fats to increase body weight; the runner may need to consume more water to maintain hydration during a longer performance; the runner may need to consume water during the event / the shot putter doesn’t need to consume during event as they do not lose as much water through sweat; 6
