Guys, how are you revising? Bio U3 is stressing me out sooo much. And can anyone tell me how to attempt the 'implication' stuff from Question 2? :frown::frown:

Dont stress out. Just practice Past papers and mark scheme more. Keep calm and make sure you know all the points you are required to.
Implications can be economic, social, ethical or environmental. If asked then you have to write something thats related to either of these. For e.g- for economic, you have discuss about money or profit loss and gains. For social, describe social concerns, like what reaction or effect is likely to be given by a group of people or society on a particular topic.
Hope it helps.

Implications
1. Economic
Financial issue so some of the keywords to look for would be cost, equipment, sales, profit, economy, income, etc
2. Social- How does it affect society?
Key words- increased/decreased income, education, health, more jobs created (employment)
3. Ethical
Moral principles are taken into account
4. Environmental
Something to do with the environment :P
Words like rainforest, biodiversity, sustainability, pollution, fossil fuels, species, food chain, waste, etc

Thanks man, I forgot to reply earlier. How did the exam go for you? Apart from one or two silly mistakes here and there I reckon mine wasn't too bad.

I've written the same thing, but for some reason all my friends are telling me it will most likely not be accepted! :frown: Apparently size of daphnia is the best option. How was your exam overall?
