Do I get a mark for putting flagellum instead of centrioles in Q1?
Do I get a mark for putting 16.6 hours because that is more accurate than 17 hours?
Do I get a mark for putting organelles instead of ultrastructure in the last question?

Sounds pretty Greek to me, but I think that should get you credit :smile:

I don't know, it's one of those where they'll either do ACCEPT or IGNORE with vein. Vascular bundle's the safe bet. Vein by itself I don't think would get the mark, but vascular vein might :smile:


i put " Vein (Vascular Bundle) "

do you think they'll ignore/only mark the first given answer?
for the definition questions i just put homologous instead of homologous pair, will i still get the mark?
Also, for how the microorganism question i said they can communicate by moving to find better environmental conditions as that was in the text is that still right? and for the gap fill i said diffusion gradient and not concentration gradient and in all the OCR books it says diffusion so will i get this mark too?

It took 16.6 hours to get from two cells to 100,000 cells, so add an hour on to account for the first cell division and you get 17.6 hours, right? Also, I wrote pressure gradient for why the balloons inflate question and then edited it to "pressure potential gradient", would I lose marks because of this?

I put Proton gradient instead of concentration gradient, think that's alright? Electrochemical probably the best word but didn't think of it in the exam!

Someone answer this dude!

Is 16.6 hours (y) or (n)? :s

Yeah, I think the key word was homologous as the word pair was already written in the question. 'Homologous chromosomes' implies a pair anyway.

I'd be very surprised if you didn't get that mark.

I honestly don't know...mark schemes are really finicky. There's a good chance you have, though.

I don't think that's right, because you haven't detailed the actual mechanism of cell signalling.
I'm not sure about that, but if it's in the textbooks it should be allowed.

No, it's 16.6 hours, your maths has gone off somewhere.
That should be okay.

I doubt they'll let you have that, but you can never be sure with the OCR mark schemes.

It is very likely that they will let you have 16.6 or 17 hours.

Thank you dude #2

Q) Also, cilia would not get the mark for a structure present in animal cells that is not in plant cells would it? :L

And could ya please put something up for the filling in the blanks thing? :s O:-)

Edit: I have arrived back from specsavers and have noticed you already put that up, thank youuuuuuu

I don't know if plant cells have cilia (I'd assume not), but in any case cilia aren't 'inside' the cell.

Ahh fair enough! Does a proton gradient only apply to the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration? I wasn't sure!
For 1)a)i) I put vacuoles - that is accepted too, right?

Also just remembered there was one question before the definitions asking what the microscope could see in companion cells :smile:
I think you've missed the one that asked what would a scientist see if he looked at the sieve tube element and companion cell through an electron microscope

Is Vacuole accepted for the first Q

For the electron microscope question I wrote it allows you to see the mitochondria. Which shows that it is an active process requiring ATP and therefore it uses ATP in active transport.
You could also say that ribosomes can be seen which make co- transport proteins

I put permanent vacuole instead of chloroplast for the first question, is that right still?
Did you guys find this harder that june 2013?

I just confirmed glucose is allowed as its produced by rapid photosynthesis and more commonly is converted into sucrose

This (I think it was looking at just the companion cell unless I'm mistaken.


I wrote you would expect to see lots of mitochondria (as ATP is being generated as it is needed for active transport of hydrogen ions). I think it was a 2 or 3 mark question?

Hope this helps OP
