I'm sure you all know the format, they have this exact thread on the JC forum, so I thought why not have one for LC?

Person A asks a question, person B answers. If correct person then gets to ask the next question.

Questions should relate to the Leaving Certificate exams and the syllabii.


English

Well this worked out nicely, I don't do French but I do bio
An immobilised enzyme is where enzymes are fixed in a gel (or attached to some inert material) so that they are not free in solution.


Biology: Name the germ layers and give an example of each of 1 organ or organ system they give rise to.

Oh and you were nearly right, I made the question super tricky, liver would be an organ made from the endoderm, but you're right in saying endoderm makes the lining of the digestive system (I didn't know how to phrase the question withoiut using the word organ )

it is when energy is used to move molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration and an example is minerals entering root hairs

is it not the opposite,low concentration to high concentration, thats why its a active process .. i think...

That's what I thought too... That it was the use of energy to move molecules against the concentration gradient? I could be way off though...

Arhenius restricted his definitions to aqueous solutions.

Not all acid-base reactions require water.

When a conductor is subject to a changing magnetic flux, an e.m.f is induced.

1. Fixed number of trials
2. When p=success, q=failure, p+q=1
3. p, q independent of each other
4. p is constant.

Q. (Chemistry) What is the definition of pH?

0mega

pH is the measure of acidity or basicity of a substance along a scale from 1 to 14 (probably not exact, I'm up for being corrected )

History

What effect did the Parliament Act passed into British parliament in 1911 have on Home Rule in Ireland?

They answer to the history question was that the house of Lords could only delay the Home Rule bill for 4 years instead of stop it so Ireland would get Home Rule in 1915 (I think anyway, I don't do history as a subject but I've always had a good interest in it.)

Pretty much, except that it could only be delayed for 2 years and it would come in by 1914

Maths : State the empirical rule ( statistics)

An empirical theory of perception is a kind of explanation for how percepts arise. These theories hold that sensory systems incorporate information about the statistical properties of the natural world into their design and relate incoming stimuli to this information, rather than analyzing sensory stimulation into its components or features.

Business:
Give 1 benefit and 1 disadvantage of the EMU for Ireland?

11Charlie11

EMU - Benefit:When trading in the Eurozone there is no change of currency required which reduces business costs as there is no bank charges on foreign currency.

Disadvantage: Interest rates are controlled by the European Central Bank which may not always suit the development of the Irish economy.

Biology:
What is the difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells and give an example of each?

Interphase: the phase in which the cell is not dividing.
Prophase: nuclear membranes break downand spind fibres form
Metaphae: spindle form attach to the chromosmes and the chromosomes first line up along the centre of the cell
Anaphase: the spindle fibres contract and split the chromosmes
Telaphase: nuclear membranes form around the the chromosomes
Either a cleavage furrow forms between the cells (Animal cell).
Or a cell plate forms down the cell (plant).
Two new cells are formed.

Tricky one , the contractile vacuole expels excess water in Amoeba ? And plants dont need them as the have vessels : Xylem. The xylem transports water around the plant also plants lose water through a process known as transpiration ? not 100% on this :P

I hope not, got asked this one on my Christmas exam today
Plants don't need one as they have a cell wall which prevents the cell from becoming turgid.

Sure give us another question anyway.

ohhhh ha what is plasmolysis
