Malaria gets into the RBC's and researchers can't figure out how to make a medicine that removes the Plasmodium from inside the RBC, its seems pretty impossible!
The only vaccine is to kill malaria by preventing people form getting infected, e.g. Better teaching about malaria, more awareness, mosquito nets and insect repellent!
If no one gets infected, it can't spread!

This song helped me learn the path of blood around the heart and body: i have a feeling the heart will come up on this paper, seeing as there wasnt anything on the january 2011 paper. Hope it helps others too :smile:
Haemoglobin comes up often in the earlier papers along with the Bohr effect/shift. It takes ages to do Biology Past Papers, alot of emphasis is on the Mark Schemes. They have'nt assessed the Heart, probably because it is considered an easy topic? If you noted how there was alot of Plant Biology and Biodiversity in Jan11...they're more interested in presenting us questions which we least expect it seems. Who would've thought there'd be so much Plant Biology in Jan, knowing the entire specification, rather than certain aspects is a better approach to revision. Although it is quite obvious that not all parts of the spec are assessed like they are in Maths.

does anyone have a specification for f211. Its next monday and I want to focus on f211 this week but if Im honest I have no idea what so ever at what the spec is, and what modules are in it and its just frustrating that I could be revising all the wrong stuff for it right now.

Both F211 and F212 are attached in one document :smile:

Or on the OCR website: http://www.ocr.org.uk/download/kd/ocr_9600_kd_gce_spec.pdf

Does anyone have a copy of F211 January 2011 paper and mark scheme? The link that was posted earlier has since been removed. Cheers in advance.

Mutations? Resistance?
Biology Mark Schemes are very specific :frown: There is so much to memorise, although alot of the old questions are adapted...doing as many past questions is a very sensible idea, however the mark schemes are extremely specific. F212 is far easier to prepare for as it is more interesting. Plant Biology really is'nt exciting at all...Now I wish I'd pursued Physics, since it relates well to Mechanics modules in Maths...but Biology is easy if you memorise the textbook...Exam technique is quite an issue in Biology, since if you look at the mark schemes, they tend to only allow specific terms. Even if you are correct, if it is not on the mark scheme no matter what...it does'nt get you the grade you deserve.

Haha cool great subjects huh... :smile: lol you doing both biology units?


yeah. I'm resitting the first unit.
This time I'm guaranteed to do worser as I revised a lot more than.
Haven't even been through the whole unit yet!
How is your revision going?
