do we need to know the structure of the ear, eye and kidney like super in depth eg for the kidney knowing the loop of henle or glomerus and labelling all of them?

 

[saltedparsley]

better safe than sorry imo, at least know where everything is so if they get you to label a diagram you can

They're less likely to ask about the structure of the eyes, ears and kidneys and more likely to ask about diseases in those organs and how to fix them. So you're gonna want to know the parts of the organs that relate to a few specific non-infectious diseases.

But I reckon just put on a few crash course or atomi videos and you'll learn it all pretty quickly

Ok cool also do we need know about action potentials and polarisation I've literally only seen it come up in 2024 cssa but nowhere else

It hasn't come up in any of the hsc papers so far so does that mean its more likely to come up this year?

I genuinely could not tell you tbh, I thought It would come up last year so I spent way too long trying to memorise everything, which proved to be useless lol. if you're good with the rest of the syllabus maybe go over Action potential but honestly speaking, it's one of the harder subtopics so Nesa is unlikely to give you a long response on it.

But take what I'm saying with a grain of salt cuz I haven't done bio in over a year and have no idea what the trial paper trends were like, which is usually a reflection of the paper companies' predictions of the hsc.

You've got this <3

Thank u!!! yeah hopefully it doesn't come up I don't think my teacher even went over it and I've never really seen it before, did u do ur hsc last year?

idk even know what that is

 

[Serenawilder]

i feel like they're gonna do some stupid question on like the neuron stuff you know the movement of sodium ions

but I'm just scared. i haven't studied and I'm forgot everything so praying for the best

Oh my god, I vowed to myself to never get this out of my head because after trials I was traumatised

 

[Serenawilder]

i reckon biotech 8 marker on agriculture/medicine, a kidney q, homeostasis - of glucose, a fat question on adaptive immunity, named pathogen (animal or plant) and how it affects an organism/spreads and aboriginal plant medicine

They will definitely have a big marker question on agriculture/medicine or Aboriginal stuff

It’s better to focus on what structures are affected from each disease rather than the full structure of each part.

Apparently not all schools go over it (mine didn’t) so maybe they won’t make it a high marker if it comes up?

I hope it's not there at all but that one question in trials actually traumatised me

bro same i remember showing it to my teacher when we got our papers back because he hadn't gone through the entire thing and he was like "ohmygod they asked you action potential??" i literally thought i was in a chem exam when i saw sodium and potassium ions

 

[dawg19230]

- Some big biotechnology large response, about evaluating its impacts
- Pregnancy hormones question
- Crossing over in meiosis II
- Definitely some epidemiology case study, normally they go with smoking/lung cancer or any type of cancer with a high risk, and then ‘evaluate x…’
- Plant adaptations(?)
- Always gotta be a negative feedback loop, they always change up what it’s for tho
- For disorders+tech: question on concave/convex in correcting hyperopia / myopia, assess one hearing technology to correct sensorineural hearing loss, then for kidneys… idfk, probably like how dialysis assists those with chronic kidney disease

crossing over is meiosis I babe (prophase I) xx

YES ME TOO THE TRIALS QUESTION I HAVE PTSD

Yep

Ur right cause the mod 5 syllabus says this: View attachment 45200

either way the thing i was talking about was just another version of homeostasis, might have been a NEAP or another independent paper. it looked like this:
View attachment 45201
anyways it’s obvious that homeostasis is gonna be there, im just advising that we review pregnancy stuff from mod 5.

positive feexback loops are not in the syllabys r
its goot to know them anyway

 

[grouchygigi]

Predictions:
- Something about genetic drift and gene flow
- Epidemiological studies
- Lots of graphs, maybe about vaccinations
- Hormones but maybe in multiple choice, pregnancy to be specific
- Plant adaptations OR adaptation of pathogens

Yeah I would study all of it. There could be a labelling or diagram question or like an extended response about it. Doesn't hurt to know it!

I swear feedback loops are... we spent like a week doing them after trials
