    This thread needs to be more active!

    Does anyone have any predictions?

    I’m usually wrong but based on what hasn’t come up my list of predictions is the following:
    • The link reaction
    • Krebs cycle
    • Chemiosmotic theory and experimental evidence
    • Adaptations of the chloroplast
    • Autotrophs and heterotrophs
    • Maintaining body temperature – ectotherms
    • Generating nerve impulses
    • The endocrine system
    • The adrenal glands
    • The control of blood glucose
    • Detoxification of alcohol
    • Ultrafiltration
    • Water reabsorption
    • Testing for anabolic steroids
    • Osmoregulation

    Hopefully there's more on The actual detailed stuff; I sat it in Jan and it was respirometers and stuff hence why i'm having to resit =/

    Yes can do
    i start then you so define positive feedback and give an example when it is beneficial?(3)

    When a change occurs, either environmentally or internally and that change is increased, for example in blood clotting.

    Okay, erm, Give three differences between a sensroy and a motor neurone (3)

    yes 3/3
    Sensory have cell body inside the CNS and motor outside CNS
    Sensory has short axon and motor long axon
    motor has dendron and sensory has no dendron

    i didnt revise this part yet. i revised so far everything upto neurones like the action potenital thing .
    but let me give you one

    Ah okay, sorry!

    They carry impulses from the receptor to the central nervous system
