Any IAL biology unit 5 threads?


No, but it's the same content with the same exam dates, it's just the scientific article that is different

Can anyone tell me how to prepare for Question 7 in Unit 5, that is, basically the article based question,please? i have no idea. I read through the article, what next?

I'm doing IAL Biology and this year's article is "aspects of aging and disease". Anyone else doing the same?

Yh I am doing IAL, I have read the article as well, it's so hard I guess!! However I wasn't able to predict any questions yet because I haven't started solving past papers yet so I don't know how they structure their questions bases on the article yet

Yes please! :colondollar:
where exactly will the questions be released? I don't think my teacher can provide me with any. Thursday was my last day of school, and my Biology teacher is taking an extra class on Sunday since we didn't finish discussing the article yet. Mocks start on Tuesday. AAhhhhh!! When are your mocks starting?
i don't even know how to relate this article with syllabus. :frown:

I've just started one

I think the scientific article for this year is quite interesting! Last year was about 'zombie ants'/ something to do with fungi which looked SO dull. Is anyone feeling confident about these exams?
What I think wil come up based on the pre-release article:

-Ethics questions on genetic engineering/animal testing
-Structure of DNA
-Pros/Cons of Genomics
-How do scientists share findings
-Phases of drug development
-Something on global warming/alternatives to fossil fuels

If you don't mind me adding..
Some more topics that could may be important

-Protien Synthesis
-DNA Replication
- Bacterial Resistance
- Biofuels
- Dna Extraction
- Transcription Factors

This is it for now but I should have a full analysis of the article and potential questions soon.

Yeahh me. got any predictions?
Got Unit 4 and Unit 5 notes here. They're really helpful for me so I thought i'd share. I should say they're not mine, I just found them on the internet but they're really good!
