Yeah, the questions were really weird and there was far too much ecology on it which I hate! Everyone Ive talked to seems to think it was a very difficult paper.

Yeah the paper was quite ecology based which everyone I have talked to found difficult. There was a few nicer question like the first one and the one on ultrafiltration.

What did everyone write for what was labelled in the eye question? I wrote the layer was the choroid and the black circles were mitochondria? No idea if that's right though.

Really hated this paper. Some nice questions but mostly ecology nonsense and even some of the physiology was weird.

I think the layer of black circles were the nuclei/cell bodies. I put down mitochondria but I don't think it was right.

The question on hedges was horrific.

The first part of that eye question was horrible ! I debated between nuclei and mitochondria for Y but went with nuclei because I didn't think bipolar cells had need for mitochondria.

Simpson's index ? Hah, silly CCEA, I forgot everything about Unit 2 when I left the exam hall last summer :')
