It was on how the body reacts to the cold. I put about shivering, vasoconstriction, and hairs standing up on end.

No it was on how the body reacts to when it's hot. You had to talk about vasodilation and sweating.

I got 0 marks for the last question because I have no clue about mycoprotein, we were taught about 50%, I self taught like 40% from the revision guide and the rest wasn't covered in enough detail in both so i didn't know

What was the first six marker on? I swear it wasnt on blood like i saw on another thread. There was one on the transport of things through a plant but im not sure that was 6.

Yes, it was transport of water, ions and sugar in a plant.

It was something like "Describe how ions, water and sugars are transported up and down plants". The question said you had to refer to transport in both directions in your answer.

for the composition of blood difference for artery and vein, i wrote vein is deoxygenated and has no glucose, but was I supposed to say less glucose?

Less probably would have been better
I wrote veins blood has more carbon dioxide

i'm pretty sure it was what happened when core body temperature becomes too high
i double checked and all of my mates and basically everyone on here agrees

the six marker on body temperature was definitely hot.
the first six marker was definitely on the blood.
Are people sure they are talking about AQA B3? not another exam board?!
