There is a loss of energy at each trophic level by respiration/egestion/excretion so less energy available to Herons. Heron is largest in size in the food chain and require large amount of energy to fulfill its requirements so less of them exist as overall less energy available.

The mean increase in the control culture is 6.18.

The initial no. of cells present is given = 3000 = 3.0 (as plotted in the table)

Using the given formula:

(6.18-3.0 / 3.0) * 100

Hey! Guys could you please help me out here? My final AS bio paper 2 is tomorrow! Pray that it goes well!

Anyway, so in this question, for K, the left ventricle is relaxing and so is the left atria, and the av valve is open and the aortic valve is closed, so the conditions are same as in the H stage, so why is the left atria relaxing in K? Shouldn't it contract?

Is there a mistake in the mark scheme?

The atria is filling with blood, but it isn't itself contracting in K
when it contracts blood flows from atria to ventricles
In this case the atria are filling up

what is the proper definition of heterotrophs ? (2 Marks)

heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms to obtain the organic compounds.

2 Is a population
3 is producers
Check the definitions in the syllabus. I got all correct except 3.

 

[nehaoscar]

We can discuss the paper this time tomorrow (i.e 24 hours)

 

[Studydayandnight]

Omg, I know we can't discuss the answers. But how did you guys find it?

I think mine could have been better, I made the stupidest mistakes, striking out the correct answer and then writing the wrong one! That cost me like three marks :'(

without disclosing the contents, how was the paper:

 

[Mahmood Magdy]

It was a good paper, but not up to the point. You see some questions were really tricky but some were just normal. What about you guys ?
