Haha, thanks :)

I just know that agar jelly is used to grow plants artificially in laboratories, so it can absorb chemical substances. That's how it allows the auxin to pass through. Foil is pretty much impermeable, so I assume it wouldn't let auxin get through.

You could check this out if you want a more detailed description though:

The answer is B

Its B. For the blood (transport of o2) iron is needed. So just look in the graph of Fe and choose the food with the highest content of iron, eggs!! :)

The answer is B
its because iron is needed to make haemoglobin which is needed to transport oxygen.
since egg is the richest in iron, its the most suitable answer! :D

If a question asks you for the best measurement to determine growth, is it dry mass? Even though you'd have to kill the organism?

(Or, this just occurred to me, does it depend on whether the organism in question is a human or a plant?)

Its dry mass. :)

What are the common enzymes tested on Paper 1 and the pH's of each...?

If anyone can suggest a couple names????

Thanks in advance :)

Amylase (salivary and pancreatic) both neutral = starch to maltose
Maltase (from pancreas) alkaline = maltose to glucose
Lipase (from pancreas) alkaline = lipids(fats) to fatty acids and glycerol
Protease (in stomach) acidic = proteins to amino acids

Im sure u need to know all these. :)
;D
