Or once i get home i can check it
Just wait till u get home and check the whole MC. The whole paper past like Q6 is shitty. Q17 isn't even what tripped me, it was every other question.


I think I got these wrong: 7, 9, 13, 16, 18.


so sad


what did everyone put for #13? An Australia wide release of infertile flies is not practical is it?? It would have been only applying the solutions to WA, any involving the whole country would be out right ?

Yeah it should be C.

The rationale behind this is that B cannot be the answer. Although Cytokines attract macrophages, the diagram does not display any form of its activation. However in C, cytokines can lead to the development of plasma cells.

I am thinking D is the answer for 13

7B
9C
13D
16D i think
18C renin-milk example - same amount of renin / amount of milk / type of milk / temperature (although not too familar with other experiments, could yield different results, so kinda stupid MC)

Question 18 was so stupid you could make as many independent variables as you want... Unless it was a trick question which goes by the fact that experiments are ideally only supposed to have 1 independent variable. But then again, the question said variableS so imma dispute the crap out of that if they say it's 1.

A few questions were a bit strange but overall, not painful

what did you guys talk about for the last pulse oximeter question.

I compared ABG to pulse oximetry but i don't know if i did it too well
Same i spoke about the ability of the pulse oximeter being in high altitudes its portable, instant results as apposed to abg
