Any predictions at all? for anything to with biology would be great!:D

flemingniamh

Protein synthesis,kidney,maybe immunity,heart experiment,lymphatic system?
By the way unit 1 unit 2 n all da experiments covers 80% of bio course

And 99% of my studying....

How many marks do we get for completing our experiments, can anyone remind me?

Captain-America

Questions are worth 30 marks each, so 60 marks.

Wait. I was told we get like 20% for finishing our practical work, is this wrong?

SOrry no marks at all for practicals, not like geography!

roll on summer 10!

Favourites for experiments are the DNA experiment and dissecting a heart!

Titan9

i heard viruses because when the papers were set it was around the time of the h1n1 virus

Ah feck, we weren't allowed do that one because of swine flu. Had to just go over it in the book so don't fully understand it. It wouldn't surprise me if we got something on viruses because of the swine flu, id say its pretty likely.

At this stage, predictions seem almost pointless.

Is it just me, or are ALL the exams throwing curveballs at us?
English had some unexpected stuff, Maths P1 turned out to be difficult, and Business today was odd.
I'd throw all predictions out the window at this stage. Anything can come up!

Im confused about the heart dissection one... I left my expermient book in school so i cant look it up -.- what can they ask you on it?

i hope that the osmosis one comes up, and dna seperation, and leaf yeast... ive just learned all my ecology definitions and my nephron and kidney diagram, so im gettin there slowly but surely!!

Can someone explain niche to me?I have "the way in which an organism contributes to an environment" does this mean as in an animal is eaten and is therefore contributing, or as in insects fertilising plants?

PARARORY

Niche - the functional role of an organism in its environment

I thought the same up till about 3 weeks ago Although for me it was a relief more than anything lol
I don't really like predictions and such but my teacher said ecology and genetics are bankers...

Captain-America

Ecology and genetics always come up.

lucybrown

as does human reproduction and food

Captain-America

Human Reproduction wasn't up last year so it's probably a sure thing this year.

lucybrown

yeah and apparently the male!

im praying its an ok paper...

Just after checking my exam papers... that's probably what my teacher actually said and I wasn't listening. Oh well

Stop the lights. Its the only exam that I'm not comfortable going into. I could easily fail it too. I really do hope its a lovely paper.:D

JamesJB

I'm thinking... Human Reproduction
Heart Dissection OR Pulse/Breathing rate
Leaf Yeast

short questions...always same really, know the first 2 units and some detail of the third and you can't go wrong. If it's anything like my mock, I'll be happy.

Ecology experiments lads... Are there any? And if so do they come up in section B or as part of an ecology long question?

I know the capture/recapture method, percentage cover and percentage frequency of plants, is that it or are there more?

Thanks

Its one of the only things that has'nt come up since the new course.. my teacher told us to make sure we know them alL!

BarnhallBull

Ok so the ones i've got plus being able to draw some of the stuff used, sin é?
