Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Do you know how many marks 100 ums usually is? I hope the A* boundary is lower than usual at around 41 marks.(Original post by zangorou)
I'm hoping there going to be what they usually are so around 45 for an A*. I have a feeling it'll be higher though -
Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?I don't really understand ums marks, sorry(Original post by QuantumSuicide)

I think it'll be higher more than anything, everyone I spoke to said how easy it was, but I really don't know -
Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Really? Most people I talked to said they found it difficult...(Original post by zangorou)

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Phosphorus is especially important in root growth yes!(Original post by QuantumSuicide)
What did you write for the purpose of phosphorous? I wrote: for respiration and cell growth.
And used to make DNA

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Yes, mentioned DNA too.(Original post by helloyou)

Any other questions? -
Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Strange.. Well I though it was okay, I think it just paralleled to all the past papers so(Original post by QuantumSuicide)

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?I was happy when I saw that question. Difference = fish have a two-chambered heart and humans have four.(Original post by zangorou)
What about the fish question? Differences to human circulatory system or something
The question before that one asked you to explain what is meant by single circulatory system. I wrote that the blood passes through the heart once in a full circuit. -
Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?
Yeah I wrote Joanna
Yeah I wrote that for the first question, but I combined some other stuff with the second (can't remember what) as I thought they wouldn't ask you something that was written in the question...(Original post by QuantumSuicide)

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?I wrote exactly the same thing, so we proablly got that one right.(Original post by QuantumSuicide)
What about the vinegar question? I wrote it is too acidic and the microbes' enzymes denature...

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Writing about root growth is right, HOWEVER,(Original post by helloyou)
Phosphorus is especially important in root growth yes!
And used to make DNA
Phosphates are for DNA and making cell membranes. I think they require you to name the basic things it does for the plant, just like nitrates is for making amino acids and proteins.
ALL of the minerals are for plant growth so just saying growth will probably be too vague.

Re: OCR Gateway Biology B456 12 June?Everyone i talked to put 'joanna' so it must be right(Original post by QuantumSuicide)
Did you write "Joanna" as the person that needs the treatment?
