    The question about magnesium/zinc powder/ribbon threw me back a bit. I think I put magnesium powder, pretty sure it was wrong though...

    For the biology questions I put that the chlorophyll stores light energy and oxygen is converted into glucose. It makes it easy since I do biology I guess.
    Do you think I'll get something for saying that it's for converting oxygen into glucose?

    What did people say for why is respiration essential for living things? I said we would die without it

    I put "Converts oxygen to food" for the respiration being essential question. I think that one's wrong for you unfortunately.

    I'm afraid to say it wasn't nerves - I just didn't know aw but I'm sure you made up for it in other questions Overall, how were people finding the paper? I'm really hoping that the thresholds are lowered

    It asked what type of link was present, yeah. I changed my answer from polypeptide to polyamide, I'm really not sure about that one. What did you put?
