[Wahab09]

Come on guys p3 chemsitry is usually easy..
Bio can get tricky sometimes.. cuz they look for specific answers..

and emi taxic and tropic response is the phototropism and geotropism and photo taxism .. ring a bell?

cellular organisation= the contents of the cell.. the labelling of the cell... and the sh*t with lower epidermus waxy cuticle..
and the red blood cell/ xylem vessel/ muscle tissue / ciliated cells..

all those u need to label and give their function..

and u need to know how to make a scale drawing..
(make a box on the drawing they ask u to enlarge)
measure the sides and times by watever e.g 1.5 or 2.. as the space is provided..
and copy exactly as in the box in the drawing they give you..

can u help me with this

its about drawing
sort of magnification [scale drawing]
they tell to draw a bigger diagram of a picture given.

so he gave tips

but i  do not understand how to use it

[nid404]

k. I've still not understood it very clearly but I'll just tell u what I think.
If they've given a picture....say of length 5cm and tell u it's to be 3X magnified, then u multiply the length (which u generally have to measure, they don't mention it) into 3. So u draw the magnified specimen of 15cm. If they give it the other way round. You divide it.

This is the formula for magnification- Observed size/Actual size

its about drawing

such as oct/nov 2004 paper 6, Q(2)(a)(i)

k....i think ur talkin' abt nov 2005 . So u just need to make a drawing that is larger than theirs. Just calculate the length of the cotyledon and in ur drawing make it larger.

In my paper the length is 9.5 cm and I've made the drawing with length 15cm. Then u need to follow the instructions. In this case magnification is 15/9.5= 1.6X(approx)

[SGVaibhav]

can u label it plz and scan or something
i tried googling but could not find an appropriate answer
need to know what is what.
