Can someone please define & explain the following to me:
Low critical temperature
Low lethal temperature
High critical temperature

Thanks in advance!

I cannot seem to find these in the textbook :frown:

Are you sure they are in the specification?

I don't think they are on the spec but they are on page 163 (i've read through it a couple of times but i still don't understand :frown:

even though the concept is pretty simple)!

Its covered in the edexcel texbook but its not in the snab textbook. But i do not know if its in the spec or not.

okay, so what i gather from the textbook is that low critical temp is when the body reaches a low temp which still able to be restored by thermoregulation, low lethal temp is beyond the threshold level and so can't be restored causing death and high critical is the same as low just too hot.

i very much doubt you'll get asked about it though, they're not in the spec.

Is there any site from where I can get the answers to the questions on the Edexcel student book?

It's covered in the green textbook, which give a lot of background knowledge and knowledge that is there to give you fuller answers and to broaden your understanding, however, I don't think we actually need to know about them in that much detail. Knowing about homeostasis is the key thing.

Doing (well planning to do) past papers, I hate the book questions/snab sheets personally!

the past papers are sooo hard and most of the questions arent even in our syllabus!

your teacher or school should be having a green A2 biology file which has the answers to all the questions in that textbook!

The answers are in the back of the book aren't they?

I'm not as confident on this exam as I was on unit 4. I'm really good at all the stuff to do with heart and muscles and respiration but I hate topic 8, I find all the stuff to do with neurotransmitters and axons etc so confusing. And I havn't even seen the scientific article yet so I've done no prep for the synoptic. My teacher said we're are doing it in the next couple of weeks but he's an idiot for leaving it so late.

anyone know what the core pracs are for this one? we've only done habituation.
i looked at the tick sheet for them but it doesn't give much away ):

Hollieee :)

Do we have to write an essay for this exam? or was that the old spec?

We were given both the green book and the orange book. I personally use the green book more, but for when revising I also use the orange book as the orange book has everything you need to know, but the green book expands on this and gives you background and wider knowledge and a better understanding. for some aspects the orange book is better though.

i know, i have no idea how to carry them out though. i presumed like the other three papers this one would include questions about core pracs we've done? i may be wrong, we've not really been told much about how it's structured other than the case study.

Miesenbock approach;
He had to first insert a gene which made P2X2, which then binded to ATP, caused firing of neurones. Made them light-sensitive by placing form of ATP only activated by exposure to light of specific wavelength.

Para 4- it states the limitation

I don't understand exactly what the limitation to his approach is?

Also, is this related to genetical engineering (AS stuff)....
