‘Compare’ in biology (1 Viewer)

[jane1820]

Can i just draw a table for compare questions and call it a day? According to NESA i can but im not sure if thats acceptable in yr 11

eg. Compare the structures of the golgi body and the endoplasmic reticulum.
can i just draw a table for similarities and differences like (not the same - but the idea) the following:

Organelle	Golgi Body	Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)
Size (relative to other organelles in the same cell)	Large	Large
Shape	membrane bound sacs	interconnected channels

or is that not enough?

(Also i have an exam in 2 days n i havent studied at all -just spamming past papers- so my answers are very basic but we’re getting there ig )

This question is from ATAR Notes Biology Year 11 Topic Test 2024-2026 edition
module 1, topic test 2, section 2, question 15, 3 marks

this is the answer provided but dont u guys think its a little too detailed? Like i listened in class n read my notes n ive never encountered these words (obviously know the function - golgi sends lysomes in vesicles, er sends the lysome to the golgi), like isnt it too much in a sense? Or is that the way i should be answering to be guaranteed at least an 80%?

also doesn’t it describe the function (how they deal with lysomes) or is this still the structure?

dont fluff up the answer, just do what you've been taught in class as thats what ur teacher is looking out for. atar notes is the better way but not the only way. and tables are the best for compare questions, markers love that its a good outlier from everyone else's huge body paragraphs and such.
