Upcoming Edexcel AS Biology: Unit 2 exam on 26 May 2011

I don't care lol...

'Wasteman', haha, go watch some football and waste away your life on beer.

I'm pretty sure it was 23,000... and Jamie is right - it's only 1 mark anyway, so no big deal!

Im sticking to the fact that the structure around the outside of the prokaryotic cell was a Cell Wall and not a Capsule! I'm probably wrong - but the structure was bang next to the Cell Membrane - therefore it has to be a wall..... the capsule isn't always present, and even when it is, it is never next to the membrane

It is Capsule- your rite it was next to cell membrance, and that cap isnt always present, but my friend it was present in the diagram that they gave
look at june 2009 paper

Just had a look at the paper - and thank you for pointing this out - it confirms that the answer is CELL WALL.

All the cells have a wall around them drawn in exactly the same way as the unidentified feature in yesterdays exam!

Wish Snow Leopard was still around - that's the evidence needed to shut him up once and for all!

I repeat,

+the cell wall isn't a floaty jelly like layer, it is a solid thick line, I can show you a thousand more links to clarify it was a capsule, but I'm pretty sure you and the people who repped your comment would argue otherwise, against all logic and thousands of pieces of evidence both online and in textbooks in order to refuse to believe you lost a mark.

maybe you should stop being such an arrogant ****.
take a look at june 2009's paper for a second..

bacterium T has a slime capsule.
now let's look at the answer

bacterium T has a slime capsule like the question said.
spot the difference between bacterium T and the others for me oh THAT'S what the capsule looks like in the diagram!

yeah.. you're wrong, sorry. though i don't think you'll like to admit it.

That's made my day! Hoping Snow Leopard comes back again - although even if they do I cant see them admitting they're wrong!

I agree though - the thread got a bit obsessed with this one mark - but only because of a certain someone's arrogance!

Now we can get back to discussing the paper - although I cant remember anything to do with Biology now, other than Cell Wall, lol

Alright buddy, he's wrong but chill it yeh? At the end of the day it's one mark and it's over and done with.

Let's get this thread back on track with some DISCUSSION about the exam...

Admittedly I put capsule too, it was incredibly unlcear. Could have gone either way but hey ho.

Anyone put Eucaryota as C and Archea as B in the classification Carl Woese question?

Yep thats what I put
