according to the AQA website for the new specification the Biol2 is out of 85 and to get an A you need 52 which works out 61% which seems crazy low

Would appreciate it if someone could confirm/correct me on this

Yeah the highes A boundary I have found has been 55, so 52 sounds reasonable :smile:

I went for:

• More RBC's = more haemoglobin.
• More haemoglobin = more oxygen carried in blood.
• More oxygen = more aerobic respiration.
• Muscles respiring to create energy, so more respiration = more energy for long distance events.

Ahhhh cool, i missed out aerobic respiration but did mention use of oxygen for respiring muscles :s-smilie:

There was a question about writing the time in minutes, erm something to do with making 8 cells by mitosis.

Did you do 4x60 +18 = 258
then 258x3 = 774minutes

Or something like that?

i wrote weaker immune system, so is it not right?

I think I just put less immunity,, would that be wrong? it still has the word "immune" I felt so rubbish after this exam,, and to think i revised so much for it as well :'(

Yeah i wrote all of that but wrote it unloads more to respiring tissues, as that was a key word needed.
