Its protein , they use nitrogen compounds such as nitrates to make proteins.

I wrote protein as well and in brackets wrote amino acids, will I still get the marks?

Honestly , it wasn´t that hard. The malaria 3 marker was such a mess, 6 markers where easy but the problem was that they asked for a lot of marks for extremely easy things which you couldn't really talk a lot about. What did you put for the time for the glycogen one. Will the grade boundaries be very high?

my year just finished the higher b1 edexcel paper! What's everyone's thoughts?
We all knew that the nitrogen cycle question would come up, right?
I definitely did really well, i revised everything that came up.

i wrote something about the allele would be prevalent in the gene pool because the people with sickle cell are more likely to survive and not die of malaria and pass on allelle to offspring hopefuly it is right

I thought it was quite a nice paper to be honest, whether the boundaries will be higher I am not sure. What did everyone get for the question about glycogen and the liver and the question about malaria? :smile:

i put about insulin resistance so less glycogen in liver

I mean the one about analysing the graph in which you had to put the time when glycogen was the highest

There was one where it talked about how the body kept heat- that was vasoconstriction but this specific question was asking about the role of the brain and what part- I didn't write vasodilation or vasoconstriction.
