Official AQA Biology Unit 3 14th May 2013 NEW SPEC

We will be provided with information if there is a question about biogas generators. I think people are wasting a lot of revision time on learning specifics about the process when it's not going to be useful

But it is still useful to know a bit ad there will be at least one mark in the question for biological understanding

Perhaps you're right but I don't think it's something worth going crazy over, i'd focus on other topics.

I would say revise the heart, blood vessels and blood itself, since it wasn't that popular in the specimen.

The range of species in a habitat!

How is the leaf adapted to maximize the efficiency of its functions?

The leaf is flat which increases the surface area.
The leaf is thin, which shortens the diffusion path for substances.
The leaf has air spaces which enable co2 to come in contact with several cells, and it gives it a large surface area for diffusion.

okay I'm going to fail this so badly..
Should I just do the past papers if I haven't learnt all the topics, or should I just spend the rest of today revising all of it

wow that is rather high :smile:

.. still B1 one would be the best to resit as it is slightly smaller than B2 ..... but the grade boundries will be much higher this summer than when we sat it :/

still its best to be optimistic :biggrin:

My teacher told me that I can retake this exam if I want and they are going to put me in. But if I get lower, will the higher grade remain or not ?

Revising all of it, I think. Its better to have the knowledge on what you will be tested on.
