AQA BIOL5 Biology Unit 5 Exam - 22nd June 2011

YEY ! - made me a very happy person!

i wrote loads about unit 5 cycles, was finding it hard to cram other units in

So failing this exam.
Only managed to miss 4 marks worth of questions. But I know for a fact that the BS that I wrote as answers is gonna get me a fail. Bye leeds

I put pentose sugar.. surely this would be right?

He-LLOOO Clearingg!

Pissed. Missed more questions than I ever have before (went back and wrote rubbish in them after)
Possibly the worst biology exam I've done.Learnt entire book before exam literally only skipped a bit of the menstrual cycle because it was too confusing and i ran out of revision time. What comes up? I put that Oestrogen stimulates follicle growth FML.

The endonuclease/mapping thing was a joke. The rest was all practically HSW which I blatantlyy got wrong. What dideveryone put for the lizard?

I actually liked the second to last question on enzymes for phosphate/lactase and krebs cycle though. Nice 4 marker. What did everyone put for the second question? It was mathematic, to do with complimentary bases? I put 16 and 17. and also the question after that.. what was it again?

no definition questions!

Oh and the process by which growth factors (or something) reach their target cells I put Diffusion? and there was another question about how they reach target cells.. i put through blood/ bing to receptors on cell surface membranes.

Would mentioning the hormone HCG within the menstural cycle in the cycle essay be enough for an outside spec mark?

i think i messed up the essay?

i talkd about transription/translation

miosis/mitosis...gene therapy. transcriptional factors etc

The bulk of mine was the Unit 4 stuff. I only had Mitosis for unit 1 and menstrual for unit 5.

i put about how it stimulates transcription and also can bind to oestrogen to be expressed.. don't know if i'll get away with putting two things thoguh

oh sorry i was meant to put unit 4, haha my bad.

i put some organisms intake oxygen in different ways such as spiracles and the counter-current system.... is that enough of a refernce for unit 2

Before i forget: what did everyone put for why The lizards uptake of oxygen increased when it moved into hotter temps?

I put more enzyme activity/more atp needed/more o2 for respiration

also i noted there was a LOT of graphs to decipher in this exam

was the first question

ribose sugar and phosphate group??
