Yeah couldn't take my papers at my school, I could tell you if I could look at them. But for the two contentious ones debated so far (which I had to think about).

I put length of collecting duct because others seemed wrong. I put the passing of characteristics one for the biscuits one, the fact they did not have the same chance of survival is like natural selection with favorable characteristics.

What did people answer for question 3: which of the following are all forms of defence that prevent entry of pathogens?
A- cilia, sweat, saliva
B- T cells .. Obviously wrong
C- inflammation, skin and phagocytosis
D- stomach acid, mucus, lymph system

I answered D
Its A, because the lymph system and stomach acid only fight pathogens once theyre already in the body.

A, isn't lymph system and stomach acid second line of defence once in body?

I answered a i thought that stomach acid is inside so the pathogen must have entered .... cillia, sweat and saliva are barrers that prevent entry. :)

Some of the multiple choice questions were confusing. For the biscuit one I put that the various species did not have the same chance for survival. It just seemed to be the best answer at the time.
but that's the whole point of natural selection. There isn't supposed to be an equal chance of survival?

But it was a temperature question, I think I put a different one or that one - not sure. The question wasn't retarted, it was the answers they provided :/. All of them were wrong.

Re: General Thoughts: Biology

What did you guys answer for the MC one that had the picture of the pathogen and was like which pathogen is this? Cause I was confident in my answer but my friend answered another one so I'm really confused. Lol

the answer is protozoan as it said membrane bound organelles. protozoans are eucaryotic which are membrane bound. another thing look at the tail of the pathogen. it is a flagellate and protozoans are classified based on their movement.
