I'm scared that Biodiversity and CITES is going to come up, I really hate those topics, everything else is alright though.

Me too, I can't get them to stick in my head And they nearly always come up

I did the January 2012 exam as a mock a couple of weeks back and barely scraped an A. I'm hoping the grade boundaries for the May one will be similar though, it would be very beneficial!

Thankyou!

can someone please explain the difference between glycogen, amylose and amylopectin.

also do we need to know about microfibrils and macrofibrils when describing the structure and function of cellulose.

thanks

glycogen is the energy storage molecule in animals. It is made up of alpha glucose subunits bonded together by 1,4 glcosidic bonds. There are many branches which makes it compact and easy to break of bits and generate/release energy. it is very compact so good for storage.

Amylose and amylopectin are storage molecules in plants. Amylose is a straight chain and coils to make it compact and good for storage while amylopectin is branched so can be broken down easily so glucose(energy) can be released

hope this helps

thanks for your help

so animals dont have amylose and amylopectin. and how does this link with starch???

thanks

I know also sampling techniques etc. OCR are a really mean board when it comes to boring topics -_-

parasite-is an organism that lives in other living things and causes harm to its host such as tapeworm .
Pathogen- an organism that causes disease

Well starch is coincidensly made up to those molecules. And only plants contain them.

Tell me about it. I mean biodiversity, sample them and then count them.. just leave the little insects alone.

Haven't really revised or even looked over it. I was away in the period of teaching in my school. So yh a lot to catch up.

I agree. To my knowledge it hasn't come up before? It's about time to be honest. We'll see..!
