How'd you go?

[REBORN]

Does anyone know when we find out the results?

August 8th.

Um... A. Inhibition of neuron M will allow the leg to flex (or bend)

? But cutting the neuron at K will have no effect...?

[Christiano]

Oh god. It wasn't allergic response for the poison ivy question?!?!?!

[Russ]

And Russ, don't even think about racing us - it's two against one!! What time do you have work?

I don't have to do plant questions, you can't win

August, and scanning at the moment almost done guys

Please explain...

^ B.
That neuron went to the brain, and the brain isn't involved in a reflex arc...

My teacher said A but I went B and it makes sence that it is B.

Why did he say it was A though??

The picture of the cat made me laugh, no write up of a experiment which sadden me quite a bit. However it was an alright exam, alot of questions involving immunity. Got the "what type of nucleic acid is in here" wrong for cholroplast wrote rRNA for some odd reason

Man I wrote rRna as well lawl. Are you sure it's wrong? There's ribosomes in chloroplasts!

also jane, not sure if you have to add 36-38 ATP for the mark.

Wow! That's a massive surprise that there was no experiment write up. Did they at least have something where they required you to analyse how well an experiment was set up, or something like that?

My biology teacher was right about no experimental design Which is quite logical, since students seemed to be mastering it, I don't think VCAA would see the need to test it again.

I thought it was fucking ridiculous. I was aiming for an A+ and I'll be lucky to get a C.  I said an allergic response for the ivy which is wrong! and since when did we learn about placebos? and there was no experimental design! And I found all of the diagrams reallly difficult to understand. I found 2006 - 2010 easy, so I was like ok, I can do this. But it was really unfair.

why is allergic response wrong?

[Christiano]

^ Wondering that too.

[HERculina]

i chose A for neuron question.
i didnt write that it was an allergic response cause its POISON ivy..not harmless substance that would classify an allergen?
i wrote about inflammation.

[Charmz]

Allergic responce is correct.

[a/b]

So if you talked about inflammation, it would be completely wrong? 0/3 ?

I think because poison ivy isn't an allergen... it is harmful, and allergens are usually harmless but the body just overreacts. I don't think the question asked if it was or wasn't though... I didn't say one way or the other I just described the histamine-mast cell-IgE response.
