I'm confused. I'm going over plants and I was looking back at exam questions, 2008 q14 C, the question is 'Describe how minerals such as nitrates enter the root of a plant from the soil'. I was fully sure that the answer was active transport, my Biology book agrees with me, as do my notes, and the five seconds of googling I did before coming here. But the marking scheme says 'diffusion'. Now I don't know what to believe.

Like I said in one of the posts, I haven't a clue to be honest. I'm gonna take a year out and do a nail technician course and see if something I'm interested in comes up. At the start of the year I was so stressed out about not knowing what I wanted to do, but I feel like I'm going in the right direction now
What about you?
Sounds good, well I'm actually in 5th year and i've always wanted to do medicine but to be honest ever since the h-pat came out I'd probably settle for pharmacy ....
And like realistically I have very little chance of getting medicine.. so i just lower my aims to more, realistic ones i guess :rolleyes:0 -

Does it just say diffusion? If it does that is a bit odd seeing as I would of thought the answer to be "active transport".0 -

Yeah diffusion or they would've accepted 'passive transport' too. But there's a higher concentration of nitrates in the root than there is in the soil. Or is there? Has my whole life up to this point been a lie? 0 -

I am pretty sure that it is active transport..The Biology marking scheme is ridiculous though.I will check what my book says out of interest :P
Yep the book agrees with me and you.It says Active transport.That is strange that it doesnt allow active transport as an answer

I just had a test on this last week with the exact same question and my teacher accepted active transport and said it would have been accepted in the leaving cert too. I would have never thought in a million years that it could be diffusion....0 -

Nothing can overcome my boredom\procrastination. here's how I ended up spending the last few minutes:
Oh Colm, we would've loved you in the L.C. Forum 2011-2012! :pac:
Looking at that first picture though, I must admit your Sraith's look way harder than what we had last year. :eek:.
My Oral was awful, I remember getting one of the easier Sraith's (Going on Holidays to Spain) and in one picture a group of people were playing Volleyball, the examiner has to ask you 3 questions and of course the first she asked me was: 'What are the group of people playing in this picture'..
*CUE AWKWARD 30 SECOND SILENCE WHERE I TRIED TO FIGURE OUT A
WAY TO SQUIRM OUT OF ANSWERING BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE FOOKING WORD FOR VOLLEY BALL WAS..
My answer: 'Sacar.. Tá siad ag imirt Sacar'..
*Awkward examiner stares towards my direction in disbelief and disgust*..
:rolleyes:
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! :pac:0 -

At the moment I've barely had time to practice even twice a week and now I'm goin to have to squeeze in a more normal amount of practice because I am in no way prepared for this..........
What grade? I did my grade 8 in may and told my piano teacher that I'd manage the senior cert this year... What was I thinking? I have hardly anytime to practise. :eek: good luck with it!
Anyway, I'm getting a bit of study done at weekends but during the week, mainly homework. 0 -

6. I've always done my exams in the session before christmas which is probably the worst time because you get half of it done before the summer and then have to patch it it up after summer when you've only got a few weeks before the exam is bearing down on you like is happening me now. I love it but I'm starting to get sick of it at the same time after doing 6/7 grades in 6 years I probably wont have much time, if any, to keep it up after christmas what with mocks and orals and then the lc.........:( 0
