Is it possible to achieve an A at Biology simply through the wonderful medium of mneumonics? :p:

Well, we can sure as hell give it a go. I'll start: cellular respiration - Good God! People are killing eachother! (Glycogen, Glucose, Pyruvate, Acetyle Coenzyme A, Krebs, and electron transport system).

Your turn. Oldak.

:eek: That is fabulous!!!!

Lol Ellie, your past thread inspired me to somehow learn the plant hormones so 2 mneumonics I made were:
Cruel Squirrels Like Robbing Small Cats for Cytokinins, senescence delay, lateral bud develpment, Roots &, Shoot developement, chloroplast maturation.

And

All Donkeys Sit In s*** for Abscisic acid, dormancy, senescence, inhibiting growth, stomatal closure

:smile:

this is good stuff!! I know this is lame compared to every1 else, and an easy part of the spec but....
Blood glucose control:
RIB= RISE (in glucose level leads to secretion of)INSULIN (detected by) BETA CELLS
and then you can pretty much remember the other is the opposite:
fall, secretion on glucagon, alpha cells. or FAG = Fall, alpha cells, glucagon

you can just remember it cuz glucAgon has an A in it so it's secreted by the alpha-cells in the islets of langerhans
