You have to mention the advantages of statins ( reduces likelyhood of heart attacks), advantages of cholesterol blockers, disadvantages of statins, disadvantages of cholesterol blockers and form your own opinion/conclude which one you thought is the better drug.
I think i made a mistake with putting a general conclusion as i wrote something along the lines of 'using drugs such as 'statins....blockers' are better than not taking drugs as the benefits outweigh the health risks' which is prob 1-2 marks dropped. -
Re: AQA GCSE Biology Unit 1 - 12th January 2012I just wrote what was bad about both of them, and the dangers, and then the conclusion that the second drug was less dangourus(Original post by shibucool)
Well at least I put pressure. Anyway what did you put about the 6 marks question for evaluate the use of 2 type of drugs (About cholesterol).

Re: AQA GCSE Biology Unit 1 - 12th January 2012So many people wrote that! I put Pancreas(Original post by bhamrambo)
I reckon the grade boundaries are going to be quite high, 52+ ish for A*. I personally found it quite easy and many people in my school did too.
What did you guys put for 'name an organ that produces hormones?'
I put pituitary gland but thats not a organ

Re: AQA GCSE Biology Unit 1 - 12th January 2012well i think so if u write that oestrogen stimulates the pituitary gland to make LH.(Original post by chicken15642)
Just wondering when it asked about roles of FSH LH and Oestrogen do you think you needed to state pituitary gland?
