12 Nov 2009, 9:21 PM | Re: Biology band 6 cut off the thing is everyone is saying this exam was easy but thats because when do acnwer a question u answer it the way u think is correct so yeah you would think the short answers are easy. -Many people acturaly drew a nephron instead of a kidney so there is 6 marks gone. -Also multiple choice was qute hard. -And the 8 marker people answered it diffrently. some poeple focused on the environment influencing gene expression while others focused on meiosis. - and these are the smart people who made these mistakes so i would say that even though people think they did well losing marks all over the place will bring down the range of the bands. Last years exam had band 6 at raw mark 84 so i would say this years would be lower but definately not higher. |

11 Nov 2009, 5:38 PM | Re: Biology band 6 cut off excretion doesn't happen in the general kidney. it happens first with the nephron. think about it. it was worth six marks. label filtration and explain (one + one = two) label reabsorption and explain (one + one = two) label excretion and explain (one + one = two) we spent a whole unit on 'maintaining a balance', not 'taking a piss'.

12 Nov 2009, 9:21 PM | Re: Biology band 6 cut off yeah but mate the nephron is situated on the cortex and medulla. nephron= filtration, reabsorption, secretion cortex=filtration medulla= reabsorption and secretion ureter = transports secretion to bladder |
