    I put DNA is found in the nucleus and proteins are made in the cytoplasm. What about out you? Now i'm worried it might be chromosome for DNA but it did say where is it found in the cell.
    i put nucleus first then crossed it out and put chromosomes for the DNA one !!!!

    and for proteins i wrote DNA which is wrong because i was thinking about DNA coding for proteins

    I got that too! Because it said CELL it was either the nucleus or the cytoplasm i think

    For the question on negative feedback i wrote
    a change in the systems results in an action to reverse the change, bringing the system back to its normal state.
    I put when changes are reversed to create a balance and keep conditions constant. This is achieved through antagonistic effectors.

    I reckon they might be form 32 to 36 for an A*? I mean there weren't many writing questions. I always make crappy mistakes though on the simplest questions and lose marks

    The tennis player? I put the receptors in the skin detect external temperature. And receptors in the brain detect internal temperature.
