Some people have not yet taken the exam.

Please refrain from discussing the exam within 24 hours of taking it.

Thank you.

Yeah i thought that was quite a weird question...
i put that enzymes are irritants and also it said in the passage about forming air born dust so i wrote wearing breathing masks. Also it said about blisters on the skin so i talked about wearing gloves, lab coat and eye protection ie googles. I also put an alternative and said to minimize overall contact with it the experiment could be carried out in a fume cupboard.
I'm really not sure if mine was correct but thats what i wrote.. what about you?

what did you guys write for the last question regarding ethical etc implications?

i wrote about 1. economic implications, how building artificial reserves are more expensive than actually protecting a natural habitat 2. ethical (or something like that), how animals are being too pampered in zoos with "perfect" conditions and when releasing them into the wild, they might not have the "fear" for predators since they felt too safe in the zoo, therefore they might die very easily.

i hope this is right :(
