Biology HL/OL

So what do we think will come up??

christina_x

DNA in some shape or form...
Evolution
the heart
the ear

erm.. thats all i got!

Homicidal_jesus

cool was thinking something the same myself!!enzymes might come as an expieriment to i reacon

you'd be a fool to not learn genetics though thats going to come up!

christina_x

yep! and evolution will be up because whatever guy came up with it (i cant rem any names, i was gonna call him maslow but thats business:rolleyes:) well.. its like 200 years since his theory!

tazbars

something and darwin i think??
what exps are people expecting?

Revise your ecology, your reproduction, your respiration/photosynthesis and evolution.

Experiments wise I'm focusing on the food expts, enzyme related expts, dicot stem and heart. The osmosis expt is a possibility also. Experiments are a joke to learn imo.

I hate experiments

I'm glad it's Darwin's birthday (or whatever), evolution is a piece of piss!

Ah come on now. Dicot stem expt:

Cut a stem. Put it in water. Put it on a slide. Gawk at it.

tazbars

heart exp? ive tried learn this its impossible. do you have to know each cut in order? and what would you say cut through the X, observe the X, cut through the......

darwin and wallace - i just rememberd!

challengemaster

This is a new guy making out the paper this year - apparently he's a major fan of darwin

I'd know darwin/wallace inside out tbh.

Yeah, that experiment is fine!

My teacher never really taught us exps, though - for basically all our exams up till now we've had ''Show how you would examine an animal cell'' :eek:

tazbars

are we talking bout the same thing? rediculously short? what could possibly be asked?

You raise a valid point but it's quite logical where you need to cut and examine and in what order when you read it a few times.

has this been tipped to come up? i was planning on leaving it out

I had heard something about it, I can't remember whether it was on the mock or not. But I think it's worth a look over, unless someone wants to correct me if I'm wrong!

ThatWouldBeNice

Me too, I can't get my head around it. I heard it was unlikely to come up... Did it come up last year?

tazbars

nope only come up once i think

hello_there_jim

i think the male reproduction will come up!

tazbars

hopefully....so easy

jd007

Our teacher told us that there was a new person setting out the paper this year and that he's big into genetics and dna

id say heart disection
something enzyme related
and dicot stem

exactly if you did the pre with it on it was easy didnt look at it all before the exam just bluffed got 29/30

ya heart is tipped only came once since new course started and was thefirst year of it

Nice one, many thanks for the pointers

no bother id go senses,gentics,evolution for long questions one of the systems will come up to but thats tough enough to narrow down

Walsh

I am truely fooked for Biology, haven't done a tap in 2 years!

200th birthday anniversary, 150th thesis anniversary. He's a sure thing imo.

Pigwidgeon

i heard the heat denaturation and immobilisation enzymes experiments are big tips.
but like with them if you learn one and the immobilisation you're fairly set.

Homicidal_jesus

now lets try and predict short questions ha:p

yeah id say one of the enzyme related exp will come up

GVNDNN

-Evolution
-Dna-Protein Synthesis
-Genetics
-Genetic engineering
-Immobilisation
-Photosynthesis/Respiration
-Heart/vessels/lymphatic system
-Human reproduction

^ Big ones for this year

Homicidal_jesus

cool!.im fairly confident about biology hoping for an A in it!!

ordinary_girl

Are these predictions all relevant to Ordinary Level? I heard osmosis will be coming up.

Homicidal_jesus

no those r HL

Respiration,Photosynthesis,enzymes,Excretion,Human Reproduction,Ecology and Pollution and senses apprently are prediction for OL
