    Was doing revision on respiration when I seen a question asking the chemical equation for aerobic respiration.

    I'd always learnt the equation as c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6h2o + 6co2 but the marking scheme said the answer is c6h12o6 + 6o2 = 6co2 + 6h2o

    Anyone know if there's any difference? That's the answer I gave in my mocks (the first equation)

    The only difference I can see between the two is that CO2 and H20 are ordered differently in the marking scheme...in which case, it makes absolutely no difference.:)

    Yeah I noticed it was only a small difference. Cheers, hopefully I'll get the marks so..! :)

    Did and corrected the 09 biology paper tonight and got a B1 which means there's zero improvement from my mock. Perhaps I've hit my ceiling in Biology :(

    God, you're all so smart here. Looking at the study logs is seriously putting the Sh*ts/motivating me :pac:

    But seriously, do ya's not have a day off? any teacher i've had always said give yourself a day's break like Sunday to relax!

    Lads, should I change my name from bluejaymraz to just bluejay (or some variation of that depending on availability). I want to but I don't want to, if that makes any sense. I want to get rid of the end bit but it's like I can't bring myself to do it, it's like a part of me now.

    It was where my boards journey began all those years ago. JCOT2010 was where it was at. <3

    Anyone listen to Joe Duffy on project maths? Seems as if it's just a publicity stunt and the general consensus is that no one likes it. Glad I'm not the only one!

    Well you weren't that much off passing so you could still pass it in the real thing and there is a big difference between the points. But then you need to pass maths so if you are always failing maybe you should drop but anyone in my year who dropped from higher to ordinary are now struggling because of the difference in the course.

    Such a shame would be interesting to see how many people are interested in IT and Business since employment is booming in these sectors. I can always wait after July.
