I think you did what I did and measured the radius instead of the diameter

Nah I done diameter. But either way whether you do diameter or radius you should get the same answer. But it was how many times bigger e.g 10 is 2x bigger than 5. So is 20 2x bigger than 10

Nah blud everything i revised never popped up


the vast majority of topics came up:h:
AQA took the piss with this, they defos want us to fail

How did you get that? I swear you measure both the sizes and then divide the bigger by the smaller. I got 1.7x. Plus by looking at it it didnt look 3x bigger


Do you remember the measurement of D and B?

What was the haemoglobin one? For water potential I put sea water contains salt - Lower water potential - water moves into worm down water potential grad via osmosis , worm swells , may burst , death


Wouldn't water move out of the worm? Because water moves from higher water potential in worm to lower water potential in sea water?

It was a circle, and said how times bigger is the area of D (or something) than B. So you do ( can't remember the values exactly)
Pi x r^2 as a ratio between the 2 (D and B)

Pi x 1.1^2 : pi x 0.65^2
3.8 : 1.33
Get the right had side down to one
2.9 :1
So it was X2.9 bigger
I hope so anyway lol


Damnn. You guys went in doing the area of a circle and everything. But I remember quit well D wasnt 3x bigger than the size of B
2.9x was the correct answer, although im sure they'll accept answers in the range of 2.5-3.5ish :tongue:
we need an unofficial markscheme cos moretime everyone's lost the plot

None of meisos came up. WTFF
What did everyone out for the phosphate and embryo question??

the vast majority of topics came up:h:


- Transcription
- Translation
- Mitosis and Meiosis only barely
- Taxonomy
- Insects
- Fish
- Heart

But nah - focus the papers on enzymes
Hate the fact that nearly nothing on human biology came up except for the weird ones like haemoglobin and emphysema. Was looking for some good ol' factual recall about heart and lungs 😭
Oh well

i said hydrolysis of phosphate releases energy etc which is used in reactions but im dumb so that's most likely wrong

Do you kno how to access the memory of a casio calc?

Wait I rememeber. I had 2.3/1.3 which gave 1.76

I put that too but wasn't sure! And something about phosphate changing the shape of enzymes so other substrates fit? But tbh I was just trying to think of anything I knew about phosphate so not sure if that's right

Yeah you're right dude, seems they got a little mixed up! Otherwise the worm would be even worse off in the freshwater (ponds, rivers, etc...)

the diameter wasn't three times bigger, but the area was, you had to find area not just the diameter

Do you think they will accept 2.9 (2 significant figures)


yh that should be fine, there was no indication on what sig fig to give, i used 3 since my teacher said to do that if they don't specify
