Hello friends and foes.

Hello lilytheblue :smile:

I am not too sure as I have not, as of yet, sat this exam.

I would recommend checking out the examiners report.

How about you post the questions you think are hard on this for others to answer? It would be a helpful thread for us all if we could get more people asking things on it :smile:

EDIT: I have managed to find this for you: http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/136529-examiners-reports-january.pdf

Enjoy. :smile:

Okay. Question: Describe how cells are organized into tissues using xylem and phloem as examples. [4marks]

i dont know probs because its a different way of revising!

okay so i would answer that like this
i would give 2marks for describing xlyem and 2 about phloem

- xylem- made up of cells such as Xylem vessels,
- these are lignified and this makes them waterproof and are involved in the movement of water and minerals around the plant

-Phloem- consists of companion cells and sieve tube elements
-companion cells are involved in translocation and uses ATP

Does this seem reasonable? obviously there is a lot more i could have said

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any podcasts for F211 and even F212 for OCR AS Biology?
I would be amazing if I could find some to listen to on my phone.
Anyone know of any?
Cheers :smile:

I'm glad I have the F212 module out of the way, this unit is so much nicer!
Not a huge fan of plant transport though.

yea F211 is piss

I am not a fan of that either, probably the hardest thing in F211 is the mass flow hypothesis. A big question came up on that not so long ago so I think we should be okay.

I think we will get a big one on mitosis.

F211 is easy, but you have to be specific, mentioning the extra word gets you the mark. For example, saying xylem vessels instead of just xylem. :smile:

I am so pissed off at the moment..

School prize day was today and there was prizes for anyone who got 7A grade or more at GCSE, which I did.

However, I didn't get a certificate? What the ****? About 10 other people did, but not me :frown:
