like how increasing age and weight increases heart attack and about he odd value in the 60yr old one

I don't think the content itself was as hard as some of the past papers, but some questions were really ambiguous and weirdly-worded, so I probably lost some marks on those

To be quite honest, I missed most questions on ecology and yield, as I was religiously following the advanced information... Was unpleasantly surprised with those :'(Definitely not making that mistake again for the chemistry and the remaining biology.

quite good but was completely off the advanced information, I also swear that the effects of exercise on breathing was ruled out in the advanced information

I wrote how more light would enter the eye (the function of the iris is to restrict some light from entering the eye) so there would be eye damage. The circular muscles would always be contracted and radial muscles slacken to try and reduce the volume of light to prevent potential blindness . I don’t know if this was right tbh but hopefully I get a couple marks! What did you put?

The breathing one was in the advanced information cause I revised it in class however I do agree that the advanced info was really wrong - there was tons on ecology which was meant to not be on the paper at all!

I put the thick stem and shortness reduced the damage from extreme weathers such as wind so there is a higher yield of crop, thus the farmer makes more income.
