o2 isn't produced during aerobic respiration..?

he means the amount of o2 taken in is equivalent to the amount of co2 produced during aerobic respiration.

Topic 7: Run for your life

This topic is centred on the physiological adaptations that enable animals and humans, particularly sports people, to undertake strenuous exercise. It explores the links between an animal’s physiology and its performance. The topic summarises the biochemical requirements for respiration and looks at the links between homeostasis, muscle physiology and performance. It ends by looking at how medical technology is enabling more people to participate in sport, and by raising the issue as to whether the use of performance-enhancing substances by athletes can be justified.

Topic 8: Grey matter

The scene is set by considering how the working of the nervous system enables us to see. Brain imaging and the regions of the brain are considered. The topic also demonstrates how an understanding of brain structure and functioning is relevant to such issues as the response to stimuli, the development of vision and learning. It investigates how imbalances in brain chemicals may result in conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and its treatment with drugs are investigated. Students discuss the ethical issues raised by the Human Genome Project and the risks and benefits of using genetically modified organisms.

our teachers are soo crap, they didnt even know there was something called 'advanced notice'. We had to let them know. We are wayyy behind in the specification, not even a third way through. our college follow a no-entry in january exams and have 2 teachers. 1 teaches 6bi04, the other 6bi05. Since september they have been teaching, and were not even a third way through both of them. I cant believe it! Our class is going to fail big time!

It'd be good if we can annotate the June '11 article together as a group and highlight the main possible topics worth super-revising!

Obviously muscles is the main one to look, and sport-performance enhancing drugs....perhaps worth looking over genetics again?
