Hopefully someone will put an unofficial mark scheme up soon

Not too hopeful, hardly anyone does Human Biology. We're a real rare breed

[Doctor.]

Not looking forward to HBIO5 Just happy it's smaller than unit 4 Although...the essay

[sparklingstar101]

I thought the paper wasn't too bad, the one in January was awful I have no idea how I actually managed to get an E!

I'm worried about the essay in unit 5 my teacher gave us the headings of past paper essays and nothing else so I don't know how I'll write this essay!

I go EPCHS The ones about PCR, I really don't like genes and I wasn't too sure about the muscles question but I wrote at least something to try and get a few marks!

Aw nope I don't know then

The PCR one was a little annoying lol. Muscle contraction was so random! I didn't know what to write really Just put whatever I could think

I liked it more than past papers but it was pretty hard overall hopefully we've done good

what did people get for the length of the contracted sarcomere?

I got 2 um, I might be wrong , but Using my ruler the scale (which was 1um) was 1.6 cm. each sarcomere was 4.8 cm, so 4.8/1.6 = 3 um,
after contraction the size is 2/3 of the original so 2/3 * 3= 2 um, again this is how i did it. so dont trust me .

Apologies to everyone, basically I was gonna ask one of my friends who went to uni, cuz he did bio last year, but he only said answer the question. SORRY! i thought he has a strategy that i can tell, but false promise....

I got this answer too

cannot remeber but I got like:

stays the same
decrease
decrease

for the lengths of the 'bands' - contraction of musvle

[alice.egh]

i got decreases, decreases, stays the same. oh im probably wrong
what did you get for the permability of ions into axon question, which order did you put the ions?

I could be wrong too! I hate It when they make it hard to understand like that lol.

erm it had to be Sodium ions and then Potassium ions, I think.
