AQAB Biology A2 anyone?

i'm doing BYB7 as well!! went through an ecology past paper today- what frightens me is how simple some of the concepts are.....i'm not sure how well i did in the paper need to get a mark scheme off the AQa website. as for microbes....arg so much to learn!!!! just gone over pathogenicity and industrial microbiology (snore) do we need to know loads of examples of antibacterial drugs by the way? so far all i know is ampicillin and penicillin attack cell walls of bacteria

Know you only need to know how some antibiotics affect bacteria and fungi, there hasn't been any questions asking for antibiotic names so far..just learn them anyway....

ok thanks....biology is really doing my head in at the moment, started to look at some of the previous modules today....oh how i wish i could do module 1 again!!

what do we need to know for grazing for BYB5 btw? i have a paragraph on it, something about swards, makes little sense or relevance though...

Not much. You don't need to know details of it, just the effects of it i think. Ive seen in a couple of past papers..they show u the population of a species where the land is grazed and where it isn't, it then asks you to analyse it, or once it involved a chi square test..u had to say whether or not grazing had a significant effect on the population of something..not too hard.

misty..i've got that book lol

mod 4 is tough as it covers so much different material (mod 4 genetics, kidney, brain are very hard topics). Not looking forward to the synoptic essay 25 marks :eek:

i have about the same as you. my cswk is about 33 i think? not quite sure though.
mutations?!! arg!!! i want proteins :rolleyes:

although i know it would never come up, its been done too mnay times. ATP would be good though. or carbs. essays which go near classification and taxonomy and stuff will just kill me

Essays:

I went to the phillip alan updates and basically they give you slight hints etc..the one thing they did say was that revising past essays is not very useful since they will NEVER ask an essay question that has been done.

proteins
carbohydrates
atp
natural selection

have been done..from biological molecules..lipids and nucleic acids haven't so that might be worth looking over..and also membranes etc.

hasnt structure and function of proteins come up twice? i may have dreamt it...something with the kidney in would be nice! like ions within biology or something like that - lots to talk about.
