For that i got that the mosquito is the vecter and that it spreads the pathogen by feeding on a person with malaria and then feeding on another person

and for the malaria one, does the parasite head straight for the gut or liver to reproduce in the mosquito or human

I think I did so bad on that paper. I'm hoping to get at least 30 marks on this paper. My coursework is 48/48. If I do well on the second paper will it get me an A or not?

It was one of the easiest Biology exams I've ever done, which is a massive relief — I was racking my brains for stuff we were taught back in Year Nine for all those facts about malaria! Now I never have to worry about B1, B2 or B3 again... :biggrin:

My Biology teacher did suggest that they might all be shifted up a grade (so an A* becomes 54/75 | 72%, an A becomes 45/75 | 60%) but even that means they're still really low...
