Can anyone link any past paper question related to the interpretation of absorption and action spectra of chloroplast pigments?

As the temperature gets lower, the phospholipid membrane fluidity decreases which makes it more harder for the cell membrane to fold during exocytosis and in order to overcome that issue,the fluidity of cell membrane increases by increasing the proportion of unsaturated phospholipids( because they are fluid or liquid in structure) so the answer is D.

Hey guys.

Can someone suggest me good A level Biology books or notes (not summarised.)
I have the Cambrige Coursebook and I would like more help.

PS. This question has probably been asked a multiple times before but I didnt wanna go through the whole thread so sorry for that. :sick:
PS. Missed xtremepaper's emojis. :p

Advanced Biology for you By Gareth Williams
Biological science By DJ Taylor.
Biology in context By Susan Toole.
Cambridge coursebook is good too but it doesn't have everything at least for A2.
About the notes I wanted to ask....Are you doing AL or just AS?

Welcome.
I use the CIE coursebook.But I get bored or when I cant understand or find something I check the other ones at the library.
Best of luck! You can check the Revision guide.

can anybody help me and check my answer?
doubted biology question.png 1221.png
My answer: 2.primary pigments arranged 1.into light harvesting clusters which 3.act as reaction centres. the light harvesting clusters are divided into two photosystems,I and II. 6.the primary pigments are surrounded by accessory pigments which 7.capture light energy for use by photosystems. in cyclic photophosphorylation,photosystem I recieves light energy which 9.excites electrons then the electrons are captured back and 11.passed along ETC to provide energy for 12.atp synthase to manufacture ATP from ADP and Pi.

the sentences highlighted in my answer and the numbers beside them show the point where i think they belong to the markscheme.
am i checking the markscheme the right way? how many marks do you think i should earn for my answer?

also in anaerobic respiration there is lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation which one is reversible and why
Lactate fermentation is reversible.
The lactate formed can be converted to Pyruvate in presence of oxygen.This can then carry our link reaction.
However the ethanol cant change back to Pyruvate.
Why is a good question.I will tell you when and if I find out.

it is written in text book that glucose aminoacide pass through cotranspoter in microvilli of proximal convoluted tuble through cotransporter
are chloride ions vitamine in absorbed in the same way
