    Veterinary Science !

    Have you done work experience at a local vet at all? Don't worry about asking, they are pleased for a voluntary slave, err..., I mean, enthusiastic helper. I did it, and it really opened my eyes to what being a vet is about. That is why I am studying ag. science instead... And difficulty? The...

    What did everyone think?

    as long as it is intepretable (i.e. close enough) they don't care. It is the information, not the other stuff like spelling, that matters.

    What did everyone think?

    It is the physical difference between them. Enzymes is a misintepretation, that is biochemical difference, but it still may attract some marks as it showed an understanding of differnces between them (please say you mentioned the micro-organisms containing the enzyme cellulase!)

    Which Bio option did you do for 2008?

    Biochemistry, how many others did? For question a) i) how many said ribose and how many said a saccharide. What were they thinking, giving the Calvin cycle 3 marks? It is like the hardest bit of the entire syllabus, including all the other options and cores!

    Projectile Motion

    Also, don't assume that g=10, because it is not nessecarily a question with terrestial applications. Definitely don't do it in extension two, unless you want a pointless argument with your teacher over whether there are tables on Mars or not (and why on Mars they are there...)

But if you really want to know your stuff, check out the DPI (Department of Primary Industries), for your state.
