I'm an idiot, with the CITES question I called it Conservation rather than Convention FFFF-...

I did like that paper, the 7/8 mark questions weren't difficult - I know I've decimated the DNA and DNA replication bit since I love those questions.

I HATED IT :frown:

What the hell was then answer to celery question? I said that it was liquidised but an enzyme needs a specific tertiary structure and active site so they could make it thicker? ha!

I put that because the celery was liquified it increases the surface area, so the production of oxygen would be too fast and make it difficult to measure.

This can be corrected by using small chunks of celery instead of it being in a liquified state.

I put that you don't know the exact concentration of the catalase in the liquidised celery... I said use pure catalase instead :/

The celergy question. It said sample?
So I went on about how it's from different celeries... o.O'
And we need to use the same celergy.
Also, I wrote about how it didn't specify amount of liquidated celergy... Lol. =(

Grade boundaries will have to be low, most likely as low as Jan 11

odd question on celery, i wrote maybe the liquidation process denatures enzymes?

anyway, the big one on lung cancer was a bit iffy as well...

It didn't really feel like science to me :/

I feel pretty confident about it, although I know I definitely got the CITES question wrong. Totally at a loss, I made up something like "Co-operative International Trade in Ecological Systems" LOL. /).<

STUPID CITES, lol, me & my friends had fun making up abbreviations meanings that we knew could not possibly be true. Oh, and for the celery question I put "as to be added fresh for each sample" and "there may not be much catalase in each celery, so liquidise many celelry". Fail.

How do you get 6 marks for talking about the development of lung cancer? :s-smilie:

I wrote some stuff on carcinogenic/ tar/ mutations, but I still had loads of writing space left...

All in all, it could have been A LOT worse, and I was dreading the disease/ specific immune response questions, wasn't that bad.

Hope everyone gets good grades, we won't have an idea of grade boundaries until results day, but most people in my year found F212 much easier than the F211 paper this year :smile:

Did the celery question say the student used the same amount of celery, I put this as the improvement?

Doh
