there is one question in which you have to draw an organism shown in a pic. i am really bad at drawing :(
do u guys hv any points? or am i lost? :(
make the drawing big,approximately twice as big.
dont overlap the drawing lines - make smooth line.
dont shade the drawing unless stated ( but so far,i've never found question that asks to shade the drawing).
make a point to label the diagram - atleast 3.
lastly,please draw EVERYTHING you see, even a small circle on a cell for instance. draw it!
thats wat i can think of so far. hope it helped! :)

Umm, it absorbs the heat from the light source, i.e acts as a filter, preventing heat from passing through. It allows only light intensity to pass through. It is essential in experiments where temperature may affect the results, i.e photosynthesis.

So I'm still founded by this idea https://studentforums.biz/index.php/topic,7496.0.html and even though we didn't get a chance to make one for Chemistry, I hope someone checks this out and does the same for Biology.

I'm also looking for some really great links for Bio P6 help, if anyone knows some, It'd be really nice to share them...

And does anyone know if the Past papers ever had the tests for Iodine and the other food tests on the last page of the test just like Physics 2006?

In M/J 2008 for labeling the tomato (2a), they mention labeling the placenta in the mark scheme. What is a placenta in plants and what exactly are we supposed to label in such a case?

(If fruits other than a tomato are given, we can really only label the seeds and the pericarp right? What else is there?)

Also, completely irrelevant, let's say I get a 20/40 for P6 but do REALLY well in P3 and P1 (safe A's). Do I still have a shot at an A*? ThANKs :)

They refer to that watery part in the middle with the seed branching out on both sides from the center. That looks like a placenta too, so they named it that. :S Weird, I know.

Umm, you can also label the central region i.e the fruit nutrients part, the real thing itself, as the 'endosperm'.

Umm, the percentile is usually at a 29-30/40 for P6. So, if you try exceptionally hard in p3 and p1, you might just get an A*, but As in all are necessary, I guess.

For M/J/08 Paper 6, Q.3)b)i):

How do we measure the distance grown (mm) accurately from the diagram.  The pollen tube is not a straight line so how do we measure it?

Q.3)a)ii)

Where is the micropyle?  Is it the whole in between C at the right-hand side?  The big hole?

Also, what is the rough grade boundary for A* with all 3 components combined?  How do we calculate it, say for O/N/09.

It is not like that, there isn't a fixed grade boundary for A*, the top xx % of the candidates in the examination would receive the A* grade ....
Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Guys just one final thing, if we're asked to compare say the amount of protein, carbohydrate etc. in something, would it be better to say that for protein say the one which has more protein gives a darker purple colour or would it be better to say that it gets purple first (time period)????

I hope someone can actually help before the exam.
