examinations.ie

They're called "marking schemes" you may have heard of them.

same as meslelf man... someone said

Respiration
Enzymes
Photosnth
Human Production (sexy time)
Ecology
Pollution
Sense
Human Excretion (****'in)

Basically the full course...:rolleyes: Gonna go on the net for a bit tho... Study the externel female reproductive organs...:D

Classy.
Probably been said before the osmosis experiment is heavily tipped, it always comes up in some shape or form but never as a full question.

Ordinary Level aswell yea?

Im gonna look over photosynthesis and repiration aswell as genetics and evolution.

Then as much as I can cover after that.

Does anyone know what to study for this exam? I'm absolutely genuinely completely and utterly F*CKED =[

Any hints at all at all given by your teachers??

Ok, I have seen a few lists on here and elsewhere. With these, and having looked over the section C's since 2004, here are my predictions for section C:

Human Reproduction
Ecology
Photosynthesis/Respiration
Circulation
The Nervous System
Immune System
Plant Transport
Cell Structure/Cell Cycle
DNA Structure/Variation and Evolution

I would bet serious money on this list.

We'll see tomorrow.

Experiments (3 or more of the following):
Dicot Stem
Heart Dissection
Osmosis
Leaf Yeasts
Enzyme Experiments.

Shouldve added: Proteins Synthesis!

What about the Nitrogen Cycle guys? Nitrification, de-nitrification all that stuff?

That goes under the heading of ecology

ANYBODY HAVE ORDINARY LEVEL TIPS??? :mad:

Alright, what else do I need to cover within that heading since it's probably my worst, didn't write up my report or anything

Trophic Levels, Pyramids, Carbon Cycle, Symbiosis, Adaptation, Competition, Population Dynamics, Predator-prey relationships, Conservation, Pollution, Waste Management.

Field Ecology: Estimating Population in an area, % frequency, % cover, capture-recapture, measuring abiotic factors, examples of adaptations and competition from your habitat study.

Thats pretty much it, I think, did I miss anything?

Cheers, % freq/cover is using the little grid or a grid within a quadrat to estimate and get an average of % of squares filled with whatever?

Any particular bits of use from a seashore study? My revision book is useless, goes on about a hedgerow as if we weren't allowed leave the confines of the school or something.

indeed i have but i was refering to the questions on the paper and as far as i know you dont get a marking scheme with those!:D

Lads, Just missed Countdown to 306, Can some one tell me what the predictions were? thanks

What time does this countdwn to 360 b on at on 2fm?

Anyone listen to the show and know what they advised to study? Unfortunately I'm in work and can't download podcasts.

leesmom

genetics,ecology,enzymes,human reproduction,microbiology,photosyntesis,respiration,food.
thought it was pretty crap advice seen as everybody knows those things are always on it. he didnt say anything about the heart but its highly tipped to come up by a lot of teachers

xprincessashx

Yeah seriously, he just said the things that come up every year that every one knows.
Like no sh*t sherlock.
Not very happy with them considerin the history guy got it very wrong...they are NOT psychic...just lucky sometimes

smndly

What colour is starch agar and nutrient agar anyone?

JamzerM

thanks for all the predictions....seriously the predictions on this have gotten me through my leaving so far..and now if i jst do well in ag science and pass biology i should easily get my course....thanks to everyone again:D

celtic723

i've a feeling tomorrow will not be for the bull****ters. i'll be praying everything i know comes up and the dodgy stuff ****s off.

naasface

hi lads and lassies, just studying heart stuff does anyone know

is it enough to be able to label the heart???
i cant draw it!!!!!
would we ever be asked 2 draw or would they nly ask to label it??

Saffy

I am totally ****ed for biology!!
I would take pass but I know I need honors for the points:rolleyes:

deisechap09

could any one tell me the optimin ph and tempeture for catalase enzyme... in the ph9 was markd rite but i tink its 7?? and tempeture i tought was 25 but it was markd wrong and 37 was rite??

I don't think you need to know; the agar is kind of a bland color naturally as far as I know and then (I'm guessing you're doing the Yeast expt) the yeasts manifest as pinkish patches/blobs within the agar after a while!
