Edexcel SNAB 2018 (+ pre-release scientific article) discussion group

Hi Guys!

Just thought it would be a good idea to start a thread aimed at discussing the pre-release scientific article and possibly share how it's components correlate with items in the specification.

Good stuff! Especially the bit about the somatic nervous system, until now I overlooked that hint.
I'm thinking for the part about metabolic pathways/disorders they could generate a question on respiration.

Hi
Regarding your reply about the metabolic pathways maybe forming a question on respiration what paragraph is this in? and Is there any other info that you have found on any other of the paragraphs or any additions to ones already answered in forum that you could share, I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks for reading.

Kind Regards
David

Hi David,

GCSE2K16 mentioned the bit about metabolic disorders in his post. You can find it in Paragraph 25 (line 5). Regarding my other findings so far, some noteworthy ones are:

Paragraph 29 - "...chronic diseases associated with the gut..." Cystic Fibrosis.
Paragraph 32 - "...has to do with genetics, maternal diet..." Differential Gene Expression.
