I asked about the formation. You're going on to talk about the reabsorption then, but yes, the wording is a bit basic but the general jist is there. Read what I corrected it with.

Where did I say separate anyway? :dontknow:
You didn't capitalise or punctuate correctly.
You also spelt capillary wrong, it's not "capilliary".

I guess two can play that game.

If you ask for questions don't act all arsey when you get corrected.. thats the point of these, to learn where you're going wrong.


You made it in an earlier post; it was your answer to his 3rd question in the 1st sentence. Don't sweat it though, as it is a mistake that I also used to make often and always now have to think about before typing or writing out. And I'm pretty decent at English as well, so it's not like you're keeping poor company.

Oh, and you just owned him! :wink:

Can we please keep this civil.

1. Explain the cohesion and tension theory in a plant
2.give me 3 main differences between veins and arteries
3.sum up the 4 stages of mitosis ( excluding interphase)
4. what does dna polymerase do

Of course. But, you've hardly avoided rudeness to others. :rolleyes:

i am stressed ok, can u give it a go in answering my 4 questions
Original post by dongonaeatu
i am stressed ok


That's understandable, but it doesn't excuse your previous behaviour in this thread. Although, I'm not one to hold grudges (or even have them), and so I'll draw a line under this.

Edit: I'm tempted to subscribe to TSR so I can hunt people down that -rep for ridiculous reasons. Go and get a life you tool!

Does a sunken stomata reduce WP gradient or diffusion gradient? or are they both applicable?

stomata sunk in pits which trap moist air, reducing evaporation.

Sunken stomata maintain humid air around the stomata and this reduces the water potential gradient.

1) Give 3 features of the triplet code.
2) Define what an allele is
3) Why is standard deviation useful?
4) Explain how immunological comparisons work

1. Why is starch a good storage molecule in plants?
2. Describe 3 functions of the cellulose cell wall
3. Describe gas exchange in insects
4. How are 'superbugs' formed?

Another one for 1) would be it is universal.
& For 4, I don't think its directly injected into species C, rather it is injected into a sample of albumin from species C, not sure if thats what you meant or not.
But good besides that. :smile:

1)What is cell differentiation?
2) Why is it more useful to compare base sequences of different species as opposed to the amino acid sequence?
3) Name the blood vessel:
- From the intestine to the liver
- Into the liver and out of the liver
- Into the kidney and out of the kidney
4) How are capillaries adapted for efficient gas exchange?
Can anyone share their notes on "Gaseous exchange in plants" please?

Function of cell walls:

- gives mechanical strength to a plant
- prevents a cell from bursting under pressure
- allows movement of water (apoplastic pathway) so contribute to the overall movement of water through a plant

Sorry I don't have any notes, I literally just use the textbook. The teachers haven't given us any sheets or anything worthwhile, I usually watch youtube videos to reinforce stuff when I can

it should be in the cgp guide

you know that plants exchange gases at the surface of the mesophyll cells. Plants need c02 for photosynthesis which prduces o2 waste gas and need o2 for respiration which produces co2 waste gas. so main gas excchange is surface of mesophyll cells in the leaf as they have a large surface area. mesophyll cells are inside leaf. gases move in and out through special pores in the epidermis called stomata. stomata open to allow exchange of gas and close if t is losing too much water.
Guard cells control opening and closing of stomata.

so gaseous excchange in plants u just talk about its in the mesophyll cells, and is exchanged by stomata opening or closing and the guard cells control this.

(this is linked to gaseous exchange e.g h20)
plants can control water loss- water enters guard cells making them turgid which opens sttal pore. If the plant is dehydrated the guard cells become flacid which closes the pore

then u can talk about xeroophytic adaptions

but it is in the cgp guide page 103 of the as level biology cgp guide for all exam boards

hope this helps

and also obviously when the water transpires out of the stomata it is because there is a higher water potential in the stomata than the atomosphere, and so the water transpires into the atmopshere- down the concentration gradient.

Has anyone started doing past papers??
im really worried about this exam and I feel like there is not enough time to learn everything! :frown:


Yeah ive done them all and am doing them twice defo recommend past papers they work!!

sorry, im just so stressed atm :frown:


Wouldn't worry about it. You sound like you know more than some others do! :smile:
