Biology HL

MnMs

what are people focusin on for tomo and anyone have any good tips???
:D:D

PILOT

im focusin on Enzymes, Genetics and respiration/photosynthesis !!!

chairmanWOW!

yea i heard they're likely to come up.
the heart as well i heard....
eep!
im so scared

MattD

I know genetics and all the protein synthesis.
Same with enzymes
I know respiration and photosynthesis.
Unit 1 is bollox and can be waffled
Cells are usually pretty easy

For Unit 3 topics, im hoping for:

The Heart / Blood / Lymph
Sexual Reproduction
Digestive System
Excretory System / Homeostasis
No plants :P

chairmanWOW!

i know a fair bit but the curriculum is soooooo long ANYTHING could pop up!
plants are evil!!!!!
no plants on the exam!!:mad:

Stressed!

Nervous system
female reproduction
vegetable propogation
ecology
enzymes
genetics
heart
defence system
senses
osmosis..........ect ect ect

m-i-t-s-u-k-o

personally I'm goign fro enzymes, respiration, genetics, human reproduction, plant reproduction, and food!

melboix

Female reproduction, photosynthesis, respiration, genetics, heart, osmosis experiment & DNA experiment, as well as a fair bit of plant stuff, methinks Should be interesting!

Boink08

All of units 1 + 2 and experiments very thoroughly. Some easy chapters of unit 3 like circulatory, viruses, monocytes etc. known well and vague knowledge of the rest of the unit 3 chapters.

MnMs

i heard that id you know units 1 and 2 that thats like 80 percent of the exam or something...is that just spoof???:p

Best thing to do in bio is just keep focused. its all comes together in the end. its true units one and two are important but so is unit 3. i crammed everything in the night before my mock and still came out with 86 per cent. so again best thing to do is have confidence

rachelmcg1989

i heard defo study ecology in detail, photosynthesis, microbiology, human reproduction, food and digestion, and genetics.
will reproduction defo come one?
do u tink ill be safe if i dont study any of the systems (endocrine, nervous, etc etc) i have no time right now!
and on 2fm they said it wud be alright to leave out protein synthesis cas it came up last year or something...dont quote me on that tho...

Censorsh!t

does anyone have a link to where i can lsiten to the 2fm show for bio? I can only find yesterdays show:(

I left studying this till today, just want to pass the HL so im studying ecology, all the expirments, human reproduction, photpsysthesis and the easy chapters.

What im leaving out is all plant biology, ,genetics (dna) and respiration. I know its quiet a lot to leave out but im having a hard enough time studying everything else so at this stage I can't be starting anything else.

Well they weren't talking about biology yesterday.

But if you go to http://www.rte.ie/2fm/406/ and then look at the right you'll see a link that says listen to todays show.

I think its pretty true, like ecology can come up in four different pieces, its a really important section, a lot of the experiments can come from there.

33% God

My Biology revision list if anyone wants it

Unit One
Water
Ecology (ratios and the nitrogen cycle)

Unit Two
Photosynthesis and Respiration
Osmosis
Genetic Crosses (definitions and Mendel's laws)
Evolution

Unit Three
Fungi
Amoeba
Bioprocessing and the Stages of Bacteria growth
Heart, Circulation and Blood
Transpiration
Lung System
Nerves
Endocrine system
Musculoskeletal system
Viruses
Plant growth regulators
Animal reproduction (focus on hormones)

Experiments
Ecology - Qualitative survey
Enzyme denaturing
Photosynthesis
Osmosis
Pulse/breathing rate
Leaf yeasts
Germination

I'd also have a look over the experiment on DNA just to see what the things are used for (detergent etc)

study genetics! It's due to come up

It's true. But it's not just unit 1 + 2. It's unit 1 + 2 and experiments. Short Q's: 4 of them are from unit 1 + 2, the rest are from unit 3. Long Q's: 3 are from unit 1 + 2, the rest are from unit 3.

It goes down like this:

-4 short q's @ 20 marks each = 80
-2 experiment q's @ 30 marks each = 60
-3 long q's @ 60 marks each = 180

=320 marks

Out of 400 total marks = 80% on the dot.

One warning though: The first part of the experiment questions often relates to the chapter the experiment is based on which is not part of units 1 or 2.

I'm alright for biology...i think!! But theres just too much to learn! the course should be shortened!! I have bio and art history tomorrow!! I am so tired, i had history today and i physically can't study any more!:(:rolleyes:! And i have spanish on tuesday!!! WILL THIS NIGHTMARE EVER END?!?!lol!:D

xox Sarah xox

right Im going over respiration, human reproduction, enzymes, plants and blood i know most of unit one but im **** with monera, protista and the other stuff!!]god i dunno this is never ending!!
Any advice for any other subjects i should cover?

Do you think the nitrogen cycle is coming up? I thought it was in section C in 2007?

I just know how to draw it, if they ask question on it im screwed, please please carbon cycle come up

if i leave out most of the systems (im learning endocrine, human, and excretory tho) and all the bacteria....do u know ill be ok?

the systems are waay too complex, so much info in each one and microbiology confuses the hell outta me!

Id say there is a good chance on a system coming up, so its a bit risky. Take it your screwed too? Hence why your up so late studying like me. lol

i wudnt say screwed...stressed?! hell yes!

theres just waayy too much to study, and with art history tomorrow aswell im under alot of pressure, so i thot boards.ie for 5mins wud calm me down...but it didnt...


well i heard human reproduction is comin up, so im learning that, hopefuly ill get lucky tomorrow!
good luck! xxx

female is more likely than male, jus to let u know.. males been up a million times, never been asked to draw the girl bits afaik

dmccaff

Got up at 6am there to do some last minute craming!

I have photosynthesis, DNA, enzymes, ecology, some of the most likely experiments, cell division, viruses and bacteria, heart and circulatory system, excretion system and the senses (eyes ears skin) all covered...

I hope they come up
