It was definitely harder than the past papers. The first half was alright right up to the question about some lugworm. The comprehension question was also quite odd but I reckon the grade boundaries will be lowered for this year so I'll probably scrape an A. Hopefully. ☺️

For the difference between all bacterial and plant cells question, can you put down Capsule? Don't all bacterial cells have a (Slime) Capsule? I put down peptidoglyan cell wall for the other one.

I put plasmids and circular dna
i think theyll allow peptidoglycan cell wall
