I said basically. Children who have eaten will be able to convert fats into glucose, those who have not will not. Those who have not eaten cannot use glycagon. Lowers their basal matabolic rate and doesn’t allow liver to function properly.

That was a really nice paper. Although the last 6 marker confused me a bit and I did not have time to write a complete answer. I basically wrote

Children who have already eaten during the day, have already produced sufficient reserves of glycogen in their bodies. This means they have a store of fat which can be used if needed. Therefore, by eating the lychees along with other foods, their bodies are not damaged.

How many marks do you think that would geg?

I was so happy for that homeostasis question omg, btw did anyone put insulin for that question under the homeostasis one?

I think I wrote glucagon, bc the question was about what is produced when blood sugar levels are too low (i think). I think glucagon turns glycogen back into glucose.

4.8x10^4

You had to put it into standard form so 4.8x10^4

I put the palm cockatoo as behavior, hornet at structure and spider as functional altho i have a feeling the last two should be the other way round.

All the other questions in that section were AMAZING tho. The orchid questions were so nice also interesting.

For the 5 marker on daisies you had to convert the 50cmx50cm=2500cm to metres cos the trapezium was in metres so it would be 2.5m

For the diabetes question, the one that produced only 20 units of insulin had type 1 bc they produced very little. The one that produced loads had type 2 because they produced more than enough but their body didn't respond to it.

Overall really good. I did run out of time tho, so only answered half of the final 6 mark question, and missed out a 3 marker at the start. But apart from that confident with my answers. I hope everyone feels the same way too 🐦

Btw was the one about the population of daisies in the field, was it meant to be in standard form? Oops if it was...
