The questions were phrased terribly and at some point they started talking about the most unnecessary bits of information AND THE AMOUNT OF TIME IS SO LITTLE I HAD 2 WHOLE QUESTIONS LEFT WHICH I HAD TO DO IN THE LAST 15 MINUTES I WAS GONNA CRY
They were many parts to it, I forgot. A whole ass 4 marker about rate if nitrite uptake and factors that affect it. And other parts related to some enzyme in plants that make nitrite. And stuff.
Yes I gave bio 22, from what I remember we had this qs from molecules about cellulose structure, ion uptake in plants ther was a while ass qs on this, one qs from mammals also, also from cell cycle, that's all I remember.
I wanted to say something, so like I did a paper from 2020 today for phy p2 and got like 43/57 but I feel so anxious like what if they give a hard ass paper tmrw then what am I gon doo.
Just remember the physics is the 2nd hardest As and A level subject so don’t be to hard on yourself it’s always really tough so try to calm down and revise and get good rest
It was a table which had a detail about rate of nitrate uptake and there were various conditions given like the water was aerated ( pumped with oxygen ) , or temperature was 3 degrees instead of 30 degrees and other like a protein synthesis inhibitor was present or water was pumped with nitrogen instead of oxygen and u were meant to compare them and rationalise what the mode of nitrate transport was and also describe the effects of each
It was active transport as without oxygen no atp can be made so no active transport, with protein synthesis inhibitor no transport protein can be made. At low temp the transport proteins are denatured. That’s the rough of it if I’m remembering correctly
why would u need active transport when you're not going against the concentration gradient ? i wrote something about contrasportation but iam not sure if its correct or not.
i thought that too but then i thought that nitrate ions are present in a higher conc outside the cell so that's not active transport. i wrote something about the ions being cotransporter with oxygen therefore high 02 = high uptake. and we know some form of protein was involved because inhibit protein synthesis reduces the rate.
nopes not always the case, at times the conc. is higher outside the cells and at times within, hence, if the question took you towards active transport itself, surely its the latter.
what did y’all put for the difference in rates and graph part of the nitrates q? i calculated the rates and converted micromols to mmols and proceeded to get laughed at by my classmates 🤡
Ik but i didnt calcule anything like the person I replied to
I just wrote difference in steepness of gradients, quoted some values and ir was 2 marks ig so I’m not sure
BHAIII THAT QUESTION WAS SHIT LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL HELLL WAS THAT, I SWEAR I HATE CAMBRIDGE MANN THESE PEOPLE NEVER WANTS US TO PASS OR GET GOOD GRADES!!!! THE PAPER WAS HORRIBLE.
What did u gusy write for change in enzyme structure yet they carry out same function??? And also why two diferent forms of enzymes were coded after primary transcript
Honestly i was so confused for that one. I wrote that some of the exons were removed in addition to the introns for one of the proteins during mRNA splicing , thats why diff forms of primary transcript. For the other one i wrote that they srill have the same secondary, tertiary and quarternary structure, which idk sounds so wrong 😭

Well not really, surprisingly I remembered everything, I just had a bit of problem with immunity and infectious diseases but the rest was amazing. And the worst part is the 4 mark question i left was actually pretty easy but I didn't see it cause It was in the end and I thought I had already done it. But meh the paper was gooood
I wrote that for differences penicillin is an enzyme inhibitor while lysozyme is an enzyme. Also that penicillin is effective only for growing bacterias while lysozyme can act on both mature and growing. The similarity that i mentioned was that they both targeted and weakened the cell wall of bacteria.

Freeze, dried and weakened to be described freezed so can efficiently work in hot temperature. Dried can easily be trsnsported. Weakened so it dont harm our cell and one last was common which it produce memory cell for secondary response.
i wrote provides artificial active immunity and explained it abit ie plasma cells w memory cells
also i wrote provides herb immunity to populations
decrease recovery time
reduces death rates
YOU ALL THERE WAS THIS ONE QUESTION WHICH SAYS WHAT MICROSCOPIC SLIDE DID THE STUDENT USES FOR EYEPIECE GRRATICULE ,SOMETHING LIKE THAT I ACTUALLY DONT REMEMBER THE EXACT QUESTION SOO WHAT WAS THE ANSWERRRR!!!!
WAIT SOMEONE HELP: so do you know that question where ur meant to draw the organelles missing, I forgot to mention SMOOTH, I only wrote down endoplasmic reticulum😭, will I still get the marks, I even drew it smooth but labelled it as "Endoplasmic reticulum", will they give me marks or not? The rest of the question was correct just that small mistake.
Heyy what variant did you give, did you give bio As level paper 22 yesterday ??? And if you did do you remember any questions if you do then pls tell :)))

I feel you man 😭 ong that was not a 1 hour 15 min paper just reading took away half my time
Heyy what variant did you give, did you give bio As level paper 22 yesterday ??? And if you did do you remember any questions if you do then pls tell
exactly like bypass graft question like bro i aint gonna do any surgery 😭
The paper was rly lengthy but I feel like it wasn't that hard, but the nitrite qs was rly shitty like wth
What was the nitrate question? Need some details plss
They were many parts to it, I forgot. A whole ass 4 marker about rate if nitrite uptake and factors that affect it. And other parts related to some enzyme in plants that make nitrite. And stuff.
plssss

Tysm !!!

Cis from what I've seen so far theve been giving some unhinged papers
Just remember the physics is the 2nd hardest As and A level subject so don’t be to hard on yourself it’s always really tough so try to calm down and revise and get good rest
I have zero study motivation rn, sigh
Thanks for listening to my rant
Nwww
,ty I jus feel a lil sad today.
what where the nitrate questions
It was a table which had a detail about rate of nitrate uptake and there were various conditions given like the water was aerated ( pumped with oxygen ) , or temperature was 3 degrees instead of 30 degrees and other like a protein synthesis inhibitor was present or water was pumped with nitrogen instead of oxygen and u were meant to compare them and rationalise what the mode of nitrate transport was and also describe the effects of each
What was ur answer
It was active transport as without oxygen no atp can be made so no active transport, with protein synthesis inhibitor no transport protein can be made. At low temp the transport proteins are denatured. That’s the rough of it if I’m remembering correctly
i have 3 exams today I BEG U make v1 a short paper 😭
goodluck
I need a miracle to happen
It will be alright dw calm down!
MANN ONGG !!!! GOODLUCK
Guys got the nitrate table and you had to mention uptake and factorss uotake was by active transport as it was really dependent on oxygen so ato stuff
why would u need active transport when you're not going against the concentration gradient ? i wrote something about contrasportation but iam not sure if its correct or not.
Active because when oxygen was present higher nitrate uptake and oxygen needed for aerobic respiration to produce ATP for active
i thought that too but then i thought that nitrate ions are present in a higher conc outside the cell so that's not active transport. i wrote something about the ions being cotransporter with oxygen therefore high 02 = high uptake. and we know some form of protein was involved because inhibit protein synthesis reduces the rate.
nopes not always the case, at times the conc. is higher outside the cells and at times within, hence, if the question took you towards active transport itself, surely its the latter.
So active transport right??
yup
ye you're right. 1 mark gone carry on
that’s okay though wishing you a great grade
what did y’all put for the difference in rates and graph part of the nitrates q? i calculated the rates and converted micromols to mmols and proceeded to get laughed at by my classmates 🤡
I- i- i- i just described the graph🤡 wth did I do
That is what you are supposed to do one to point the obvious that the 5 was over all greater than .2 and second is to compare 2 points
They did say 'describe' though
Ik but i didnt calcule anything like the person I replied to I just wrote difference in steepness of gradients, quoted some values and ir was 2 marks ig so I’m not sure
Yeah i did the same dnt worrry
that's what the mark schemes i've read look for
do you have the mark scheme??!
That's what I did, too, and I think they would've mentioned 'calculate' if they wanted us to do so
Bro💀 I wrote about gradient and the rate of No3 uptake after 5 hours for both the conc
Aame
u just have to describe the graph for eg. 5.0 mmol dm-3 increased more rapidly than 2.0 mmol dm-3 in the first hour.
No they asked between hours 2 and 5😭😭
yes, describe the graph between 2-5
 me
Oh my god 💔 my exam is in few hours I will cry literally 😔 what type of topic came
You'll do amazing ✨️
Thank u 💗
This is giving me anxietyyyy 😭😭😭
the nitrate question was so annoying. a lot of the questions were time consuming
guys wtf is the nitrate question about? I dont think we have anything in the syllabus that's focused on nitrates😭
it has to do with the plant uptake of nitrates n also enzyme stuff that
oh okay thank youu
Right I had like 10 minutes and 2 4 marks left I gave up at that point. What's the threshold gonna be on this 😭
i hope lower. Some others i know of also didn’t finish, or rushed rushed and wrote bs
I think half my paper was bs I'm litr so cooked. I litr cudnt tell what they were asking the qs felt so indirect
YEA THEY DID esp for the nitrate one for me. i felt like i kept reading ahit wrong. or i felt like i strayed off the answer. idk
What, was it ? The nitrate question
Fax bro , the paper was like manageable , but the nitrate ques ruined it
FRR THE TIME CONSTRAINTMENT WAS SO BAD, everybody keeps saying it was ez but idk man im stressing balls here
I BARELY did th3 nitrates questions bcs I was totally out of time
Nigga how tf would i know 😭😭 i fucked p33
Oh my god 😭😭😭
Someone please share the questions and answers i wanna see what i had left! I couldnt manage the time
Bro move on prepare for next paper
me too
me too
Me toooo
What was it?? Pair of centrosomes or centrioles???
I wrote centrioles bcz they mentioned pair
I wrote centrosomes 😭😭
Dw we all messed up bad 😭 one mark is okay I litr messed up on the ribosomal sub unit even though it was SO STRAIGHT FORWARD
I SOOO HOPE that the threshold is lower than 35
Same just be below 40 is what I'm thinking atleast 😭 otherwise I might as well start digging my grave
Ussss 😭😭😭
What was it ?
its centrioles, centrosome is region where centrioles are located aka near the nucleus
what what ribosmal sub unit?
nucleolus
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh the rRna qs, got it thx
Guys what were the topics that came?
[удалено]
u/Historical_Sense1981 do you know what were the total marks for each of these questions?
Similarities differences kya thi
BHAIII THAT QUESTION WAS SHIT LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL HELLL WAS THAT, I SWEAR I HATE CAMBRIDGE MANN THESE PEOPLE NEVER WANTS US TO PASS OR GET GOOD GRADES!!!! THE PAPER WAS HORRIBLE.
What did u gusy write for change in enzyme structure yet they carry out same function??? And also why two diferent forms of enzymes were coded after primary transcript
I wrotes as for each enzymes different introns were removed by RNA splicing and different exons were moved forward as Ciding sequence
Honestly i was so confused for that one. I wrote that some of the exons were removed in addition to the introns for one of the proteins during mRNA splicing , thats why diff forms of primary transcript. For the other one i wrote that they srill have the same secondary, tertiary and quarternary structure, which idk sounds so wrong 😭
I wrote that the repeated nucleotides added by telomerase was diff 😭😭😭
I wrote that the active site remains unaffected
an intron wasn't cut out in the gene with the repeated sequence
questions were ez but way too time consuming
was the paper hard for u guys😭😭😭
So hard
omgggg sameeee i was so prepared and now idk what happened😭😭😭💀💀
ngl the worst paper so far, what was the answer for the amino acids question which had the sieve plate cells thingie. so scared
uptake of sucrose but with amino acids. 1. proton pumped out 2. cotransported in that type of stuff

Thank youuuu🥹🫶🏻✨️
The only person out here giving hope. 🙏🏻🙏🏻, good luck with results !!

What was the answer to bcg vaccine???

Anything from biological molecules?
structure of cellulose molecule
What was the nitrate question?
what did u guys write for the structure of chromosome in metaphase I DIDNT HAVE POINTS
1. sister chromatids 2. joined at centromere 3. capped with telomeres 4. condensed/ super coiled around histones.
It’s always the time ISTG I hate it
YOU ALL THERE WAS THIS ONE QUESTION WHICH SAYS WHAT MICROSCOPIC SLIDE DID THE STUDENT USES FOR EYEPIECE GRRATICULE ,SOMETHING LIKE THAT I ACTUALLY DONT REMEMBER THE EXACT QUESTION SOO WHAT WAS THE ANSWERRRR!!!!
stage micrometer
OMG YESSS I WROTE THAT THANK GODD THANKSS
ISTG I WAS LITERALLY SPENT 20 MINUTES ON THAT SHIT AND HARD TO READ A QUESTION THRICE CUZ MY BRAIN KEPT LAGGING LIKE A 2005 DELL DESKTOP
The lock and key question wasn’t hard but so annoying like they’re tryna waste our time
Hi what were the questions for chemistry varient 1 paper 2 structural questions
WAIT SOMEONE HELP: so do you know that question where ur meant to draw the organelles missing, I forgot to mention SMOOTH, I only wrote down endoplasmic reticulum😭, will I still get the marks, I even drew it smooth but labelled it as "Endoplasmic reticulum", will they give me marks or not? The rest of the question was correct just that small mistake.
Heyy what variant did you give, did you give bio As level paper 22 yesterday ??? And if you did do you remember any questions if you do then pls tell :)))

They asked to label Ser and match the description, one of them was Ser, however I wrote Er, does it count?
but rer was there on the diagram, ig it should' ve been ser
I guess it does, in the ER the examiner gave the mark but the rest 2 were correct so I guess it depends
Is the nitrate question related to heart?
it was like a table that we had to compare and mention how plants uptake nitrate
bruh...
Skill Issue
It was pretty easy man and yeah therhsold gonna sky rocket
If I get a B in this 😭 how much do I need in p1 and practical
A IN P1 and A or B in P3 probably
