AQA BIOL5 Biology Unit 5 Exam - 22nd June 2011

Hey guys I've got a mark scheme for 'Cycles in biology' from a past AQA paper, it's in four sections and you've got to mention one of each for the breadth.

Ecological cycles - nitrogen cycle (individual species are not required); carbon cycle (role of species making it available again)
Metabolic cycles - krebs cycle; electron transport chain; synthesis and breakdown of ATP; LIR
Physiological cycles - negative feedback mechanisms; cardiac cycle; muscles; nerve function
Life cycles - mitosis/cell cycle; meiosis; DNA replication; predator/prey

I didn't do this one though, if I was 6 UMS of an A at AS what do I need in both my A2 exams to get an A? I got an B/A for the A2 coursework on last years boundaries (: If the grade boundaries are lower how does this affect the overall target for an A? Thanks!

Thats exactly what i wrote. i think we'll get the marks.

Wow! Thankyou! Thanks for the effort That is reassuring

good luck for results everyone. lord knows i need it.

was it you who said i couldnt get 25 marks or say 24
why was that again?

Nope Wansn't me Why, what was your essay like?

This exam was so random.
Damn you pupa!

hey in my essay i included
cardiac
krebs
calvin
muscles
carbon
nitrogen
cell cycle
predator prey
homeostasis
ostrous
in alot of detail i think 9 /10 pages
is it possible to get 25 cus i really need it to make up for the 0 marks i got on the questions
also i didnt include anything outside the spec

My teacher showed us a 25 mark essay that the chief examiner showed them at a teaching meeting thingy and to get full marks ideally you need to mention something outside the course that is relevant so like the mice in USA, just like a small paragraph. Did anyone do any diagrams in theirs?

Glad to help anyway (:

Damn, for my cycles essay all I just mentioned were hyena and antelopes running after each other lol as an attempt to put something outside of the course.

hey i realy hope so
how do you think the paper went for you overall
how may marks do u thinkn you have>
i reckon i got about 55 ish out of 100
i think i may have just missed an A
i needed around 105 ums in this or no uni

I was refering to Benevolence who thanked me when I wrote 'glad to help'. Some people might find that reassuring, I would like something like that for one of my exams.......

WOW! You're breadth is most certainly there! Within the constraints of the syllabus anyway :P

How did you manage to wright that many pages? How long did you spend on it?

ohh
even if all the essay is really detailed with good scientific terms that we didnt have to actually know in the syylabus if you know what i mean?
