I thought the exam was pretty straightforward, the only question I didn't like was the last one! xD
It was way easier then the Jan 2012 one so I am hoping for a B :tongue:

Ugh I hated this!

We all had varying answers for the last question:
I put that the increase in temperature increased membrane permeability and increased rate of reaction so more sugar made in photosynthesis...
My friend put:
Molecules have more energy which means more ATP is produced and more active transport occurs. Above 50degrees mitochondria denatured/damaged loading of sucrose ceases.

Blood pressure was majorly repeated and we both had beats per minute for the measurement of fluctuation.

I also got 12 breaths per minute :P
