Biology Paper 6!!

[nid404]

see in a fruit the ovary becomes the fruit and ovules become the seed. There is no cotelydon as such of the fruit(the flesh is called mesocarp). But there r different parts of the fruit which u can learn at http://www.fruitsinfo.com/parts_of_fruits.htm
Hope that helps clear ur  befuddled brain

[SGVaibhav]

yes it did
are you planning to take further studies in medical?

[nid404]

not exactly......i might have to do some medicine here and there to be a wildlife conservationist.  I need loads of degrees apart from the normal zoology and stuff to be an expert(which I want to be)......ya so that's that. Love animals soooooooo much.I love Jeff Corwin's show on animal planet....follow it regularly and so badly miss Steve Irwin(kudos to him)....really appreciate what he did for conservation of wildlife.

[SGVaibhav]

Steve Irwin the legend.
It would be great if that accident wouldn't have happened. 
Even though i watch animal planet rarely, still i use to know him very well, he is that famous.

hey!!!! i'm drowning in past papers and notes! and i haven't found anything to help me in understanding what exactly is the formula for magnification, thts if there is a formula.. can anyone please help me know what exactly i must do when there is a question tht asks me to see how many times something has been magnified??

[twilight]

magnification = enlarged drawing/real drawing

[LaRi]

yes i know that, but there is a question that i saw last night while i was gng thru some past papers, and there was a magnified picture of a pollen grain and underneath it there was a question asking us to calculate the real size of the pollen grain and by how many times it has been magnified, thts wat i wanna knw, hw can i calculate magnification? :S

[twilight]

measure the diameter of the pollen grain that is magnified .. using ur ruler
then divide this by the real size to get magnification
u can attach the question paper .. i'll go thru it and tell u

[LaRi]

oh ok!!!!!!! nw i get it! Thanks a lot hey
and umm one more thing, what exactly is a fair test? and a control? i never seemed to understand exactly what they r?

this is the paper am currently solving, everything is fine except question 2]d]i) and 3]a]ii)

i solved question 2]c]i) like you told me, and my answer was 0.024 mm = actual size

can u plz go thru it and tell me if its right?

Thanks a lot By the way

can someone tell me what is single cell protein (SCP) ?

I cant really understand it and what is its function?

help would be much appreciated!!

 

[sanity_master]

single cell protein:

bring bacteria and allow them to grow and reproduce asexually in a bioreactor while providing them with the suitable needed nutrients and the conditions......they will increase greatly in number.....as their bodies is formed of 70% protein....they are dried out of the food stock and crushed then sold to be a food full of protein......there are advantages and disadvantages::

ADV:

1.low fat content.
2. suitable to vegetarians
3. no food additives
4. cheaper than meat

this:

1.unattractive appearance or taste
2. people dont like the idea of eating microorganisms


thats pretty much it

thanks much for ur answer!!!

Im doing bio tomorow at (6:00AM GMT) Wish me luck ppl

nd i was just amazed how ppl are asking about Magnification? Fermentation? Graphs? and all that crap..

WOW! exam is in less than 24 hours and ppl are asking silly questions like that?? WOW!

anyways.. good luck everyone on this!!

[XaM!!]
