hey guyss

for the qs about sucrose and starch, i said something like starch produces more glucose than sucrose and sucrose produces fructose as well as glucose. i then something said something about one being polysacharide and other being disacharide. is that right?

sorry for the spelling mistakes lol
any predictions on grade boundaries guys

think you might get the marks, i prepared myself just as well knowledge wise for this exam as jan, except i put myself in a different mindset so i wouldn't get mind block, essentially i thought to my self, if someone came in to bio and started asking general questions how would i answer them.

anyway i think the marks where like this

1 mark for saying it shouldt be used
1 mark for side effects (i said liver damage)
1 mark for unfair advantage (i said because it promotes muscle growth)

kinda hate myself because i didnt put myself in this mindset for unit 2 so there were so many questions i couldnt answer, i just wished 5 mins before that exam i said to myself, calm down, read the questions its easier then you think dont get paranoid :frown:


Hmmm I'm not too sure you would get a mark for saying yes or no to the use of steroids, simple because quite a few people i know chose to say that steroids should be used and then gave points for that.

I'm a late-comer to this topic, but i'm also taking this exam in january.
Whilst you lot seem to be aiming for A's I think it's more realistic for me to aim for a B!

Hey does anybody know what the grade boundaries were for JUNE 2010.. for an A?

Sitting this exam too.

Some questions:

What is the p.d for resting potential?

In the CGP book it is -70mV and in the Heinemann book it is -60mv.

What is the p.d for the threshold value?

CGP = -55mV and Heniemann = -50mV

At what p.d does repolarisation start?

CGP = + 30mV and Heinemann = + 40mV

For depolarisation do we say 'less than -70mV' (CGP) or 'less than -60mV' (Heinemann) ?

For type II diabetes is the CGP book correct in saying:

'when beta cells don't produce enough insulin or when the body's cells don't respond properly to insulin'

as the Heinmann book says this for type I diabetes:

'The body is no longer able to manufacture suffecient insulin'.

Thanks.

Also, can the OP link any papers posted in this thread to the 1st post. Thanks.
