If you use the stage micrometer scale, 1 div = 0.1mm. Therefore, one division on the eyepiece graticule is 0.0025 mm , as 0.1/40= 0.0025mm.
Y is alpha glucose, while X is beta glucose.
Just use the concept that Adenine (A) base-pairs with thyamine (T) and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).View attachment 59523
question 19...how to solve this?
YESSS I get that. thank you!Just use the concept that Adenine (A) base-pairs with thyamine (T) and Cytosine (C) pairs with Guanine (G).
There are 5 T in strand 2 so there'll be 5 A in strand (Since A-T complementary base pairing)
Similarly, there're 7 C in strand 2, so there'll be 7 G in strand 1 (C-G complementary base pairing)
Now for strand 1, you've got these figures:
A: 5
C: ??
G: 7
T: 4
There are 19 nucleotides in one strand.
So you can find C by :
19 - (7+4+5) = 3
So the answer is B.
Resolution is the ability to distinguish between two objects close together.View attachment 59530
Why is the answer B?
0.2 mm is 200 nm, why wouldn't it be visible under 220 resolution? and how are A, C and D incorrect?
If this question was 10 marks.
Anyone can help me form sentences?

You made a few mistakes.How is this? It covers the first 8 points though.
Translation takes place, making use of nucleotides to make amino acid chains. The mRNA moves towards the ribosome and binds itself with the small subunit of ribosome. A tRNA molecule, which has a specific amino acid, with three exposed bases, (codons), form pairs with the complementary anticodons of the mRNA. Six bases at a time are exposed to the large subunit.
Yes thanks for pointing out. You are right about the codons thing but about the large subunit, my book says 'the mRNA binds to the small subunit' ain't it so?You made a few mistakes.
mRNA actually binds the larger small unit, and its codons are exposed into the smaller sub-unit. Also the codons are located on the mRNA not on tRNA. tRNA has anticodonds.
Sorry Now I made a mistake.Yes thanks for pointing out. You are right about the codons thing but about the large subunit, my book says 'the mRNA binds to the small subunit' ain't it so?
It's okay! we all make mistakes, we are all humans...but those CIE guys who make Paper 1 never seem to realize that! When each option shouts at me 'i'm correct', then my human characteristics fail to justifySorry Now I made a mistake.
mRNA after leaving nucleus takes part in the process of translation. mRNA binds with the smaller sub-unit, with 6 bases exposed into the larger sub-unit at a time. A triplet of bases on the mRNA is known as codon. tRNA present in the cytoplasm carry a specific aminoacid towards the ribosomes. A tRNA having a complementary anti-codon to that of the codon on the mRNA binds with the first three exposed bases. A second tRNA carrying another aminoacid, binds with the next triplet of bases. The two amino acids are held in place till a peptide bond is formed between them. Many ribosomes can attach to a single mRNA forming polysomes. The mRNA after it has been decoded to form the required polypeptide chain is broken down in the cytoplasm; this means that the mRNA is short-lived.If this question was 10 marks.

I think you would get 3 or full marks. You should've also mentioned about condensation.Hey guys, can anybody help me with this question? i wrote my answer but i am not sure if it should fulfil the markscheme or not,so here is the question:
View attachment 59554 View attachment 59555
My answer:
a-glucose molecules are bonder together as monomers from carbon 1 to carbon 4 to form unbranched chain known as amylose. a-glucose molecules are bonded together by both c1 to c4 and c1 to c6 to from a polysacharride with a branched chain known as amylopectin.
so, how many points should i earn for my answer?
thanks in advance.
For almost 10 years, the site XtremePapers has been trying very hard to serve its users.
However, we are now struggling to cover its operational costs due to unforeseen circumstances. If we helped you in any way, kindly contribute and be the part of this effort. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
