AQA Biology Six Marker

All it says in the spec about healthy diets is the following:

"A healthy diet contains the right balance of the
different foods you need and the right amount
of energy. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are
used by the body to release energy and to build
cells. Mineral ions and vitamins are needed in
small amounts for healthy functioning of the body.
A person is malnourished if their diet is not
balanced. This may lead to a person being
overweight or underweight. An unbalanced diet
may also lead to deficiency diseases or conditions
such as Type 2 diabetes."

I revised from the spec, and this is basically what I said, but I know I'm not gonna get 6 marks because we were supposed to go into more detail, even though it literally says on the spec:

"Knowledge and understanding of the specific functions
of nutrients and the effects of any deficiency in the diet
is not required."

Can someone prove me wrong plz thanks

I literally did not look over any of that sh*t because I thought it wouldn't come up in the exam at all, let alone as a 6 marker

What paper is this?

You haven't even answered the question, you were supposed to talk about individual components and their importance. for example...

water for respiration

fibre for bowel movements

etc...

PLEASE tell me where it talks about this in the biology spec. They have to quote from the spec, and I did answer the questions because it was about a the components of a healthy diet, I just didn't go into much detail.

The purpose of GCSE's isn't to turn you not a spec reciting robot, they are too give you the knowledge you need to draw your own conclusions, so it may of not of said it in the spec, but if your thought about it, using the knowledge you know, such as respiration and digestion, then it was not very hard at all.

IKR.Water isn't even part of the diet cycle thingy(Protein,carbs,veg,dairy,fats)

GCSEs are practically a memory test...

Have you even looked at the spec, both fibre and water are considered as 2 components of a balanced diet??
