Was it someone on here who I offered my unit 6 biology revision question spider diagrams to? I can't remember who it was.
erm I dont remember but as far as I know arent I the only one at the moment doing the same biology course you did :D
Hmm wonder who it was then. I was really chuffed with my fifteen spider diagrams on key areas. Shame I failed the module after all the hard work :lol:
Aww, well are they helpful cos I could really use all the help I can get! :lol:
Yeah. Some of them are what my teacher did and the others I did myself. Complete with full colour and a few doodles/diagrams. Key words and phrases.
Wow you got loads of help
with Unit 6 we have done NOTHING our teacher has basically told us just to revise
Done suppose I can have a peek? :p :bow:
Of course you can. I can scan them when I go back to uni in a few days and email you them or I can post them all to you. I'm not bothered which, I don't want them back. The only reason I kept them was because I knew you were doing the same course.
Aww :D
erm can you scan them if thats ok :)
I cant believe we have like done no class work on it
Ok, it won't be until Friday though. These are the areas and questions we were told to do:
- Mitosis
- Meiosis I
- Meiosis II
- Phosopholipid bilayer
- Membranes
- Nutrition
- Enzymes
- Gene technology
- Cell structure
My teacher did these: Not nearly as impressive as mine :p
- Roles of lipids in living organisms
- Digestion and absorption of carbs and the regulation of blood glucose
- Uptake, transport and roles of mineral ions by flowering plants
- Detection of light by mammals and flowering plants
- Transport of molecules and ions through the cell surface membrane
- Give an account of variation, natural selection and speciation (this was similar to a question on June 08 paper)
I did your paper as a mock the other day
What did you think? I did the ecology 15 mark.
erm it was ok, I had to guess on the the Biogas! had no idea
And the genetics I made a right silly mistake on the diagram
I did the ecology one
I didn't get the biogas one either. It's either not in the syllabus or we weren't taught it, I don't ever remember doing it.
Me either but apparently it is on there cos the geeks we were going on about it
we never learnt anything for unit 6 either, we were just told if you knew the other units then we would be fine! :rolleyes:Quote:

Yeah I know but it would but good if my teacher could help and link things together
First biology exam is 1st June, unit 1 resit
i swear my school must have been the only school that did the sort of practical exam for unit 6 rather than cw
good luck, unit 1 was the only unit i understood lol!Quote:

I am doomed. :rolleyes: :lol:
On the upside I got two marks off a B in the history sources mock, not knowing how to deal with sources. Now I know what to do, I think I will do better. At least a B, I hope. Depends on the other part, the essay question.
wow thats good. good luck :)Quote:

I dont think so, I know geography doesnt
How would that work for history, english, maths and other non-practical subjects?Quote:

Our exams have all finished up here. Monday is the first day of the new accademic year.
Wednesday :(
Need 85% for an A in Economics, I'm not hopeful.
:eek: omg! really?
Mine finish on the 19th june :(
My first is on Tuesday. Finish on the 11th.
I'm not hopeful either. Perhaps I will take a gap year and resit if it all goes belly up.
I wish I finished that early! :(
Its because I only do two subjects. Well one of them is worth 2 A levels, but that is 70% coursework, meaning I only have 2 exams in that and I also have 2 in History and they are all quite close together.
Yeah but still, I know other people that finish that early
and 2 of my closest friends finish their exams on my birthday :ninja:
Kim you will walk it stop worrying.Quote:
