If anyone wants to help me out by rechecking them for me.. that'd be great!

Hey! I just read your answers and they are pretty good. Although, you should definitely mention that the Soluble fibrinogen is converted to 'insoluble' fibrinogen. Just saw a mark scheme and they require both the words for a mark. :h:

The way you visit every paragraph to predict a possible question is very helpful. Thank you so much. What type of questions do you think may come from the topics that are new to us? e.g The free radical reactions and the Progeria syndrome?

You said that Alzheimer's does not affect motor function. I'm afraid it does. As the no. of senile plaques and tau protein accumulate in you brain, the no. of nerves in an individual's brain decreases. This causes them loss of memory and eventually over time, it affects motor skills. eg. they may forget how to write.. etc.

Hence, it should be a similarity that both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's cause a decline in motor function. :u:

Hmmmm... That's weird coz I know a person with Alzheimer's and he sometimes does not know how to brush his teeth properly so his brother does it for him. He also forgets how to hold a spoon.. its as if his fingers are not able to process the fact that he is holding a spoon. :frown:
