Edexcel GCE Biology Unit 5 6BI05 June 2013

i did every past year papers, now what to do? any reference materials for unit 5?

Yes the exam does consist of 30 marks based on this article. Mainky, this part of the exam is used to test our knowledge on synoptic things. So Unit 1, 2 and 4. They could ask any question related to this article but it would most probably be a synoptic question. Therefore, you need to revisit the last 3 units you learnt. A paragraph in the article might relate to stem cells we learnt in Unit 1, topic 2. Or something related to atherosclerosis or blood clot etc.
To prepare, I would read this thread and practice these questions that people are discussing here and and use the materials people have posted. Also read previous years articles and questions so you can get an idea of what and how they ask questions in that section. Good luck.

This is the formula for degrees of freedom...

In this paper, the degrees of freedom is 28 (therefore use 30 from the table, as it is the closest). Find the corresponding critical t value at p=0.05 ---> 2.04
This is less than 3.30, so the alternate hypothesis is accepted and hence we can conclude there is a significant difference between number recalled with and w/o music.

Hope this helped!

By the way, here is the thread for our paper on tuesday!

has anyone made notes on the pre release material? whats everyone doing with, just studying it and taking note of topics?

Anyone know the difference between a muscle fibre, a myofibril and a filament?

Hey if you inbox me your email address I can send you a fully annotated article
File is too big to upload

Hey,
as I'm an external candidate would you be able to email your annotated article?
Would really appreciate it.

Anyone know how statistical significance can be indicated on a bar graph?

Hello,
In the textbook under photoperiods and phytochromes, the book goes on about "The actions of phytochromes in greening" and environmental cues such as gravity and environmental stress.

Does anyone know if we need to know about this or not?
