I'll join :biggrin: i did 3 hours of revison for biology in the library today and forgot my food and drink so i was pretty hungry.
i'm doing bio now, almost finished my notes on the entire AS course!

It is?

I'm probably going to leave my biology revision until about 2 days until the exam, I've been revising for it the past couple of months; writing up the text book in not form, doing past papers ect.

Do you guys have a favourite area of biology? Mine's probably human physiological biology.

My favourite areas in biology are the heart and genetics.

My favourite has to be physiology and a bit of biochemistry

Biochemistry can be interesting to. Makes me glad I do chemistry as well, since in the biology syllabus a lot of the biochemical parts are left unfinished/unexplained.

Talking of biochemistry perhaps you can help! In my biochem textbook it says that glycogen is less dense and more soluble than amylopectin... but then in another part where it discusses the solubility of them, it says that glycogen is more soluble than amylopectin due to the large number of short, branched chains. I would've thought more brances in glycogen would mean it was more dense, and thus, less soluble, as water molecules would be able to gain less access??

More branches = more sites for hydrolysis

Sure I am not against it, merely noting. Recently the number of Societys - Through the roof.

Lol thanks. I was just ruminating over it, and it occured to me that more branching would mean that there is less scope for close interaction between polymeric chains, which would the molecule more accessible to water. :biggrin:

I was looking it through the view of polymers, branching making a substance less dense ect
