Yh that was horrible , I just wrote everything I could about mitosis without mentioning the stages specifically , the cgp revison guide only mentions two stages
Did anyone get 0.42 for the concentration of the carrot. We had to estimate it?

For me the cell cycle one was easy. Despite being a grade 8/9 in maths I failed most of the maths questions due to not knowing the different prefixes

I’m pretty gutted tbh. Microscopes questions didn’t do me well, in the CGP booklet it only refers to electron and light microscopes. I messed up the osmosis carrot question, didn’t understand at all. And stem cell diagram distracted me from answering the questions which were actually easy I’ve realised now.

For the first Cell Picture I said to adjust the focus.
The second Cell I said increase the magnification.
