And stonecold, everyone I've asked answered B for that one ;] except me LOL :D

So that one where you had to chose out of cells S, R and whatever for the receptors, the answer was B. Cell S ?

i think it was the one on the end i chose, the one that produced the most plasma cells

i also wrote it allows things through the membrane (like a protein channel). Reminded me of *AQUA*Porin... ive seen a question on aquaporin somewhere...

Me either

Edit: I just remembered!
The two answers i narrowed it down to were glycolipid and globular protein.

Globular proteins tend to be well... like globs of protein.. many chains like heaped into each other but this was like 1 straight protein going straight up

It wasn't hard due to it's length, but there was some difficult to interpret and somewhat ambiguous questions in MC (q 24). Only had 15 minutes to go at the end ;s.

Yes! I thought I was the only one.
It was so much harder than 2009 and 2008.
Biology 2010 exam was super hard
