    Quick Bio Question

    i believe iodopsin is equivalent to rhodopsin and in similarly as in rhodopsin (which when activated, bleaches into opsin and derivative of vitamin A), iodopsin bleaches into photopsin and vit A derivative https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14367777

    To write or to type up summaries..?

    it all depends on what you prefer. if you prefer writing, do that. (sorry, may not be that great of a help, but this is true, just because someone does well in one way, doesnt mean it will work for you) either way, make sure that your notes address the dot points. that is the most important...

    General tips for answering bio questions?

    Help :')

    i think first of all, define briefly what darwins theory is. then go on to describe what the radiation did i.e. cause mutations in genotype for certain traits leading to differing phenotypes. then explain how in a population in the wild, if there is variation within the population - that in...

    Confused about Cellular Respiration

    to be honest, the amount varies because NADH & FADH2 which are produced in aerobic respiration are EQUIVALENT to certain amounts of ATP. ive seen sources that say they are worth 2.5 & 1.5 ATP respectively, some sources say something else. eitherway, since your teachers mark the exams, ask them...

    Nephron diagram

    more importantly, you need to understand what each section does. get the big picture. e.g. asending loop does not absorb water, glucose & AA should all be absorbed in the proximal tubule. furthermore, blood in is from 'afferent arteriole' & blood out is 'efferent arteriole'. no point in...

    Rant

    isnt there a system where, if everyone does bad, in the end it scales or something. so as long as you did quite well compared to the cohort (regardless of mark), you would be fine? i have no idea if that is how it works,i may be completely wrong, but just something i heard about.
