also, i would genuinely pass out from joy if the essay was on ATP

My strengths lie on biology rather than biochem and if it is an essay on DNA tech, well, let's just say I may not reach my next B-Day...

That's easy the mestrual cycle, just remember this;

Freshies - FSH
Only - Oestrogen
Like - LH
P**** - Progesterone

FSH Stimulates Oestroygen
Oestrogen --> LH
LH --> Progesterone
Progesterone prevents FSH being formed by negative feedback by preventing follicles being made.

Lol, I just remember it as FOLP. :P

I typically remember anagrams easier, but, all to their own and whatnot.
Example, other than the one above, the way I remembered intigration of things in mechanics was the following;

AIVS
Adam Is Very Sexy
Intergrate acceleration (a) to get velocity (v) and integrate velocity to get displacement (s).

Just my way of doing it.
Also, one to do with biology and different muscle types (fast twitch and slow twitch is the following)

FAT = Fast Twitch Anaerobic
Loads of enzymes for anaerobic respiration
For short bursts of energy
Can't go on for long. So, I imagine a fat person in a marathon and how they would do just as well as the rest in the first few minutes/seconds but then not as well. =P

Therefore, that leaves slow twitch as the following;

Loads of myoglobin
Loads of mitochondria
Loads of aerobic respiration
Thin to decrease diffusion pathway distance

Haha well luckily that's already come up in 2012 so it's highly unlikely they'd repeat! :smile:

I am getting it may be an essay on methods of transport in organisms myself and if it is, DON'T forget single celled organisms people, not just plants and animals!

Any Idea's on what the essay will be?
and any main themes teacher think will come up frequently?

Reply 4556

dont mean to scare anyone but i have a feeling this paper is going to be SOLID! simply because the raw mark grade boundaries have been rising like a biatsch over the last 3 years

Oh yeah, guys, is type 2 diabetes the one where the body fails to respond to insulin whereas type 1 is a failure to produce it?
