Explain the benefits of job specialisation to a clothing manufacturer.
Judging by the questions on the Biology paper I am pretty certain this will be asked in the exam.

Saturated - has only single bonds, higher melting point than unsaturated
Unsaturated - has double bonds

Anything else?

Basically, you go out and get pissed with a bunch of 15 year olds and drunk rats. Also, don't forget to do it as an independent company and make sure to spot all of the patterns on the snails' shells.

Explain the processes of:

a) bioleaching
b) phytomining


Bioleaching: Bacteria uses energy from the bond between copper sulphide to separate the compound, and therefore separates the copper from the ore.

Phytoming:The soil contains copper. The copper builds up in the leaves of the plant. The leaves are dried and burnt, and the copper is taken from the ash.

Thank god you were joking, I s**t myself for a second

Bioleaching involves getting copper from lowgrade ores using bacteria.
Phytomining involves getting copper from lowgrade ores using plants.

Can't think of anything else, sorry :/

Explain the processes of:
a0 bioleaching
b) phytomining


* Grow plants in a field containing copper compounds
* The plants will absorb copper compounds from the soil
* Burn the plants
* Collect the ash which will have lots of copper compounds inside
* Obtain pure copper by purifying the ash

I think this is right?

a) bioleaching

Bioleaching - copper sulphate solution passed over bacteria that take it in, break it down and excrete copper which needs to be purified using electrolysis.

Phytomining - Plants grown on soil containing low-grade copper ore, take in the copper ions and store them in their stem and leaves. The plants are then burnt and the ash (containing copper oxide) is purified using electrolysis.

Both get copper for low-grade ores but require electrolysis to purify the copper.

Like we did for Biology, let's answer the question the person above you asks and then ask a question that the person underneath you has to answer!

Start me off!


surface temperature of pluto is -200 degrees : propane has boiling point of -220 , melting point of -180, : wud propane form oceans : on pluto

lol :smile:
yeah its just a joke about the Biology paper feeling like a business exam!

Exactly right! Full marks.

Vegetable oil can be extracted by
1) Crushing and pressing the nuts, seeds or fruits. You crush and press it, remove the water and other impurities.
2) Distillation of nuts, seeds or oils with water mixed in. Then you remove the oil from the water afterwards

What is bioleaching?


Bioleaching is when we use bacteria to get copper from lowgrade ores as opposed to the traditional method being reduction with carbon from high grade ores as the copper is running out.
The bacteria is grown on lowgrade ores and it gets energy from the bond between copper and sulfur in copper sulfide, it then uses that energy to separate the copper into a copper sulfate solution. This copper sulfate solution can then be purified using scrap iron to displace the copper or electrolysis.

I think so, if the melting point is -180 and the temperate is -200 degrees then it would have a low enough temp to melt . melt means turns into liquid so yea

What is hardening / hydrogenation?
What is a mixture, and no I don't mean a mixture of alcoholic beverages. Taking that into account that may also come up...
