    Oh ffs unit 6
    I can't find a journal on light intensity on plants...getting really desperate now. If I don't get a decent journal..then my unit 6 mark is going to suffer.

    which revision guide ?
    I'm using the cgp revision guide, ann fullick textbook, my notes, and the SNAB revision guide.
    You know in the ann fullick text book page no 212 and 213... do we need to know that ??

    Cgp revision guide
    Pg212-213; the bit on the far left yes
    2nd column not too sure, that looks dodgy, never done generator potential before in class, not too sure it's on spec too
    3rd column we should know

    By the way what is the difference between accommodation and adaptation ??
    they seem so similar

    Oh gosh, just had a quick read of that and I'm stumped.
    I think for adaptation, receptors show a decline in activation so less action potential produced hence less frequent reactions.
    Not too sure how it's different to accommodation
    Good question though!

    I really don't like the idea of this article I don't really like unit 5 either, or unit 4 which I'm resitting :-(
    Me too :/ I am resitting biology unit 4.. I keep getting B from biology a level .. And i keep resitting as I need to get an A :/ .. good luck to all of us. By the way, can anyone share the questions that may come from the article if they have any questions or materials given by their teachers?
