I am not sure man. I think RBD cant pass thru the capillaries right?

Occam's Razor SG

lol, wth, no cell division, no mol gen, omg.

ChoCoChips SG

so is good or bad?

eagle SG

so did the widely discussed fermenter thing come out?

Occam's Razor SG

no, it did not. the Q are quite straight forward- almost all recall Q.

iamapebble SG

Moderation high high niao.

Vendettus SG

WTH.

I spent the whole morning studying about insulin production and DNA transcription/translation, and none of it came out?!

By the way, what was the answer for the first question? Was it the golgi body or the rough ER?

Vendettus SG

Moderation high high niao.

Indeed.

Occam's Razor SG

1) cell (surface) membrane

rough ER

mitochondrion (R- mitochondria)

By the way, what was the answer for the first question? Was it the golgi body or the rough ER?

Should be RER, because those are 'dots' around that structure, not circles.. I think.

Theguiltshow SG

It's rough ER. The paper was so easy. I hereby laugh at all the people who studied Molecular Genetics and memorised the part on fermenters and genetic engineering very thoroughly :P

Occam's Razor SG

lol, do finish like left 30-40mins to check.

iamapebble SG

YAY :D No more science paper 2s~~

Hellparadise SG

sian... i study fermenter, heart, lungs... then end up the question all so easy... all give away de... label so many things... then all chapter is infront de chapter... oh mannnnn.... studied for nth zz...no genetics diagram also.... aiya....

Theguiltshow SG

Oh yeah I was hoping for genetic diagrams to come out cos I like drawing them :D

HollowGrowl SG

too easy. i should have studied. Was aiming c6 but think now aim b3 liao

Vendettus SG

By the way, what does mitochondrion do? There was a part (b) to the question which asks what it does. I wrote: it produces energy. Is it correct?

As for the graph, was it supposed to be a straight line that doesn't pass through some points?

Vendettus SG

too easy. i should have studied. Was aiming c6 but think now aim b3 liao

Don't be too sure. If everyone can do it, then they'll moderate your marks until you get a C6.

Vendettus SG

What a waste of time, then.

I studied the same things too. I thought fermenter, molecular genetics and cardiac cycle is going to come out...

...what a disappointment.

Occam's Razor SG

mitochondrion function = It is the site for respiration.

iamapebble SG

I thought that question asked for the process at mitochondria and not the function? I wrote aerobic respiration.
