Hey Malik777
here are my personal notes, u may find it few but this is what i learned before exams. I summarised everything so that at the end of A2 I didn't have much bulky notes. This is what i have compiled so far. I modified it according to PhyZac brother's syllabus requirements he gave. Hope this helps you. If you have any question or doubt, please do ask.

Some metal ore are form of sulphide. Some types of bacteria are able to obtain energy by converting sulphide to soluble sulphates, by an oxidation reaction. The ore are crushed, becteria are added. Water is allowed to flow through the ore washing out the soluble metal sulphate the bacteria have produced.

And please, i forgot to tell you, do your layers (tissues) proportionately: Each layer of cells in your drawing must be proportionate as the layers are in the diagram provided, you get it?

There is no really spongy mesophyll layer here because there are no large intercellular air spaces in between. In the micrograph you can only see clearly the: cuticle, upper and lower epidermis, the vascular bundle, the palisade mesophyll layer.

u're welcome, sure do post em. ;)
yes I got it :) , here it is :D ...

Yeah u're right PhyZac
So here are my comments. I'll be honest with you.
- vascular bundles are missing
- few details
- proportionality not much respected. see your cuticle is thicker "than usual"
- labellings missing
- the line in the middle does not continue.
- Else, ur lines are neat
- avoid the "scribbles" you did in the lower epidermis
I'll post a drawing soon to help you a bit. Don't worry you need to practice a lot before reaching to perfection. btw when is your exam?

question: why is there a circle on the right?

and don't make zig zag or wavy lines like u did around vascular bundles ... the lines should be smooth. otherwise ask PhyZac and strangerss :)
See on the micrograph you have a region of cells which are not clear, its just diffused/not clear. so i thought to draw it.
Well i think that the zig zag lines/wavy lines will not affect marking as such because the cells there are not that perfectly smooth. I didn't do it much. so its okay i think. Thanks for reminding. :)

I too believe that drawing the circle was kind of correct, it actually depend on your specimen, if you see a distinctive difference in color as in the diagram, u better draw it. But if you dont draw it either wont be a mistake because it isnt so clear.

I was taught to draw it according how i see, and from diagram, i believe it kinda wavy. :unsure: I am not sure, but learn the fact "Draw wat you see, NOT wat u saw"

Hey, thank you for the infectious disease notes! Do you have notes on any other chapter, AS or A2?

No problem. ;)
The thing is that ALL my notes are hardcopies and my notes are like bits of papers here and there. Tell me some specific chapter where i can put some explanations of my own and compile some of my personal notes.
