they wouldn’t mix either way cs of the septum it asked for q and r which both have oxygenated blood
The answers because the valves prevent back flow of blood so prevents oxygenated blood returning back to lungs.

straight line like going down but with one anomaly i think it was the second point?

I think I did the axis the wrong way round when I plotted the graph. Will I lose all the marks??

not all the marks but maybe 1 ? as long as the points were plotted right

I lost marks like the diffusion one, and improvements to experiment, graph and last one. I’m paranoid that I’m gonna lose marks from the simplest questions. I reckon imma barely scrape an 8.

I said the yellow banana had excess to light so underwent photosynthesis so then it produced glosuce and that's why is was present

what did everyone get for the equipment one, it was to do with counting species. I said a quadrat?
