Official AQA Biology Unit 1 GCSE 5th June 2013 NEW SPEC

Original post by taz1996

jan 13 was 42 for A*, june 12 was 39 for A*, i expect this one to be 40 for A*. Very simple test IMO but because of the HUGE number of year 10s i saw mess it up, will make it easier for us to get an A*

Don't jump to conclusions just yet. We'll have to wait and see.

I think I easily got an A* on this test! :wink:

(Year 10)
I would like to say people who got Darwin for the question about which scientist it was are complete idiots(no offence).
This is because when I came across it I wrote Darwin at first but when you go on to the second page it gives you a CLEAR HINT BY SAYING CHARLES DARWIN BELIVED IN NATURAL SELECTION AND THE OTHER SCIENTIST WHO BELIEVES IN THE "SWORDFISHTHING".So obviously it's not Darwin,So it has to be Lamarck!

Questions I know the answers too(100%)and whatt I wrote:
Pyramid Of Biomass:3rd one!Medium-Sized bar showing plant plankton-Bigger Bar showing animal Plankton-Smallest Bar showing the Shark
Women age question thing in years:5
Ways she can increase her life-span:1)Exercise Regularly 2)Diet OR eat less fatty foods
Factors other than hygiene that make modern hospitals better than Old ones: 1)High-Tech Equipment 2)Doctors with a better understanding of procedures and treatments 3) (possibly) More medicine have been invented for several diseases.
Metabloic Rate Question:1)Age 2)Gender (checked on the internet to confirm age- was unsure so waheyy!)
Neurons question:When two neurons meet is called a SYNAPSE.
Other Neurons question where are they stored or something like that:Chemicals
Will edit as I remember more! :wink:

And I hope you all luck with your results!

what did people put on the second last question where it asked why the population of the animal plankton increased?

Because there was more food available (cause the plant plankton increased the previous month) so therefore, the animal plankton would survive and reproduce because they had good living conditions.

1) Be a bit more diplomatic about it. Not everyone's a "special snowflake".

2) Actually, on further research (and I know I checked the wrong one but you learn from your mistakes), in phytoplankton ecosystems, the pyramid of biomass is inverted such that the shark has the largest biomass, the animal plankton have the second largest and the plant plankton have the third largest. This is the only case in which the pyramid is inverted - clearly there to catch you out! :frown:

Silly of me to fall victim to it.

Is there any chance of someone making a list of the general topic of questions 1-9???
I can't remember for the life of me and it would really help me, and I know others too!
thanks in advance!

No, the diagram showed the swordfish "growing a longer sword" to catch its prey more effectively and then passing it on to the next generation. It screams Lamarck, unfortunately.

Also, Darwin was mentioned in the very next question. I doubt they would have given you the answer to the previous question in the next one! :tongue:

Here is the answers I remember :smile:

The first was Semmelweis and the table, there was the carbon cycle 6 mark, the bmi ideal weight question, umm... Drugs (what are they etc.) the aspirin/statin question, the lamrick(?) and darwin evolution questions and the bee eye question. Idk what else but that's what I remember!!!

Oh!! I just remembered the last 3 questions with the 2 graphs, and the animals and plant plankton! And the metabolic rate questions!!!

You seem like a right snob. Firstly the pyramid of biomass question was the 1st one, secondly the woman age one was actually 77 and the in your answer to the hospital question you haven't mentioned anything about vaccines or the sterilisation of equipment, so I doubt you will get all the marks. Next time try not to claim to be 100% sure about things that are wrong. Good Luck with your results

Everyone in an exam cocks up on marks, let this guy feel happy when your told by someone over the internet your answers were wrong do you know how it makes them feel?
