I did the osmoregulation one! Didn't feel like I had enough to write about the Calvin cycle essay :s

Yeah same here! I don't really like photosynthesis haha :frown:

Did you write about what happens (like ultrafiltration and selective reabsorption) and the negative feedback bit with the ADH and stuff..? I think I babbled on a bit much 'cause I ended up filling the three pages D:

I put nitrates and ammonia and then '(ions)' hahaha! what did anyone put for the 2 density dependent and 1 density independent factor?

I think nitrates and ammonium ions is correct, I googled it (curiosity killed the cat) and saw that answer a few times :smile:

for density dependent I wrote about toxic waste and depletion of nutrients but I was thrown by the density independent so just wrote an increase in temperature which could denature enzymes :s

I wrote the definition then wrote about selective reabsorption and ADH! At least if you've written about all of it you are more likely to get all the marks haha :smile:

They should be the same as when I did a search for BY4 it comes up as "HB4/BY4"

I was referring to past boundaries (sorry if that was made unclear)

Same! if it's low I'd be elated :afraid:

Good luck all! :hugs:

I calculated it in the exam can't remember it now though! As long as I get an A/ A* I'd be happy (applied to do bio at uni so need a good grade :colondollar:

)

What about you?

Ah I see, i've looked over the paper since and calculated it...I was quite strict, but generous on cetain things and I got 60/80...could be lower or higher just know way of knowing, guess I'll find out on results!! I need to get an A too tbh, got an interview with cardiff for mpharm and if I get an offer it'll be for AA in chem and biol with wbq..hoping they'll accept a B for biol tho..where u hopin to go?
