    Hello All :), I need HL DEB Chemistry, Economics, Art History and Biology Papers. I need them as soon as possible, please help!! :O

    Are ye actually only doing your mocks now? That's disgraceful on behalf of your school tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Amanda_Babes


    Our school is the only school outside of Ireland that does ILC's as well as mocks, Were doing our mocks now due to the recent events in our country, Libya.
    If you have any of those papers i would really appreciate it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Coeurdepirate


    You can do the lc in Libya? WHAT?! That is crazy, haha! If you search this thread there's a spreadsheet that has all the mock spoilers! Just type 'spreadsheet' into the search bar for this thread.

    Didn't think the standard of the LC was high enough for other countries to be taking it on tbh o_O

    The standard of the L.C. is on par with other countries, although Project Maths is a step backwards.

    Heh another poster from Lybia asked me for mock papers in PM about a week ago. Crazy stuff :P

    Wouldn't seem like there's as much rote learning in something like A-levels for one, don't know really.

    And I got that PM as well >_>


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,576 ✭✭✭Coeurdepirate


    Out of curiosity, are the Libyan exam papers exactly the same as the Irish papers? Cause like a lot of questions are often based on Irish society!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Amanda_Babes


    Ya exact same, I know some questions are, but were used to it.

    That's cool, I'm still finding it hard to believe though! :p
    Anyway here's the spreadsheet with all the mock spoilers :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4 Amanda_Babes


    Haha, ya it is kind of odd, thanks for the spreadsheet, but the DEB economics HL isn't very detailed. :(
    It's tommorow and if any one could help me out they'd be a life saver.

    I don't do Economics, sorry! Ask PictureFrame!

    1.Question about trace elements in the human diet. A couple of other foody questions. Another question about a fat soluable vitamin and deficiency.
    2.Ecology easy stuff.
    3.Weird propogation question I can't remember completely, didn't do it.
    4.Photosynthesis
    5.Respiration
    6.Alveoli

    Section 2
    1. Investigation of growth of leaf yeast on agar plate experiment.
    2. Effect of temperature on enzyme.
    3. The one where you put seeds on an aegar plate and see if they've started digesting the nutrient medium? I can't remember experiment name.

    Section 3
    1.Ecology easy enough stuff. I'd learn the carbon cycle if I were you.
    2. Homeostasis, amoeba, something else (kidney maybe?)
    3.Genetic crosses and DNA stuff.
    4.Part a b c answer 2: Bacteria, mitosis, tissue.
    5.Part a b c answer 2: Brain/Sensory Neuron, Human Reproduction willy diagram and other stuff, heart heart diagram and heartbeat.
    6. Plant reproduction. Genetic engineering.

    Additionally, more info on specific things-
    Know everything there is to know on the brain E.G. The areas.
    DNA - Rna and biomolecules
    Kidneys - Where and what hormone is secreted
    Bacteria - Know the growth phases.
    Protista ( Ameoba ) - Draw and label 3 areas ( excluding contractile vacuole )
    Heart - Label it and show where the blood flows. Also explain heartbeat.
    Ecology - You must know food pyramid , the limitations of it. Competition and is competition fiercer in same-species.
    Pollination- Cross + self pollination. Go over in detail , I ignored this.
    Neurons - Sensory , direction or impulse , also learn another system other than CNS a neuron is in. Also a disease e.g. Parkinsons- also a treatment e.g. electricity shock I believe.
    Lungs - Alveoli ( 3 adaptations - One cell thick, surrounded by capillaries ) Know the diagram you will have to label three parts.
    Propagation - Know and adapted stem and root and an example of each and the definitions.
    Reproduction - Know the diagram of a penis , where semial fluid is formed , a few others , and a sterile condition and its cause.

    Also)

    Section A: Comprehension on child workers, two short comprehensions, one about cucumbers and the other about the Erasmus programme.

    Section B: Comprehension about taking breaks from technology, Opinions were "Las tecnologías hace la vida más facíl" and something about how people are never disconnected these days.

    Dialogue construction about being in Spain, very wide variety of topics discussed, know how to say prawns, omelette, meatballs, wind surfing.

    Diary entry about being in Malaga and having a job, how you find the job, what the costumers are like, why you like Malaga.

    2.Ecology easy stuff. Abiotic/Biotic/Edaphic Factors 1 example of each + definition - Learn a 4 bar food pyramid - 1 Limitationt of i
    3.Weird propogation question I can't remember completely, didn't do it.
    4.Photosynthesis Where does light enter - Where is it absorbed what does ATP stand for?
    5.Respiration How does ATP Trap And Release Energy" - Distuingish between Catabolic and Anabolic reactions
    6.Alveoli Diagram of bronchus/aleviolo identify 3 things on it - know about diffusion and how gases transfer 3 adaptations

    Section 2
    1. Investigation of growth of leaf yeast on agar plate experiment. Eukariotic what it means + name 1 other organism in Fungi. how did you dispose of it.
    2. Effect of temperature on enzyme.
    3. The one where you put seeds on an agar plate and see if they've started digesting the nutrient medium?

    Section 3
    1.Ecology easy enough stuff. I'd learn the carbon cycle if I were you.Ecology along with competition/pollution definition you need to know Quantitive and Qualitive surverys and how you carried out such a survey rest is on docs.
    2. Homeostasis definition, amoeba, Kidneys - Learn about picitural glands or however you spell it - where its secreted/how it acts/ effects of increased amounts of the hormone
    3.Genetics question is LlGg x LlGg multiply out and you get 16 different phenotypes and question is done. Part c inclues more specific stuff on DNA and RNA
    4.Part a b c answer 2: Bacteria growth curve, mitosis, tissue - tissue culture, example of tissue in plant and animal etc.

    note- write to leo tell him you have to the beach because it was so sunny
    you have taken you're french books with you because you have a test tomorrow you will be home at 6 o'clock

    Message/note - You're staying with your pen pal in France. Say that your friend Francais came to your house this evening. Say he was not able to go swimming with you because he had to work.
    Diary entry - Say you have just returned from an exchange in Paris. Say you are happy to be back home with your friends and family. Say you had a great time in Paris and spoke lots of French. Say you want to go to the cinema tomorrow evening to see a French film.

    The comprehensions were easy enough to understand. For certain answers, you need to understand ''les parents doivent prendre rapidement contact avec l'enseignant des enfants'' that is one of the answers.. it means ''parents should make early contact with the children's teacher'' and it is one of the answers you have to write in english.. can't remember much of the other answers
