ily too

ily too

This is the only thread where i actually know my sht

 

[fionarykim]

lel I'm hoping I scrape a B6

edit:theoretically I can since I'm not too far behind the first guy internally (In first assignment weighing ~20% I got 67%(fu runescape) and he got ~95% and in trials I got 94% and he got 86% + beat him in other assignments but the first assignment...)

OMG THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO MEE
i like got 75% in assignment, and first person got like 100
and then i beat them in trials but it was too late HAHA

okay new question
name one non infectious disease,and give info on cause, symptoms, treatment ... yeah those

Down Synd.
Cause: Additional 21 chromosome
Symp: Learning difficulties, moderate mental 'retardation', speech-language difficulty
Treat: None, but therapy regarding individual symptoms.

Distinguish between active and passive transport and relate these to processes occurring in the mammalian kidney.

active transport requires energy expenditure whereas passive depends on osmotic/concentration gradient and does not require energy expenditure.

Re absorption occurs in the kidney's nephrons by both passive and active transport. Water is absorbed at the proximal tubule, descending loop of henle,distal tubule,and collecting duct(<-I think) by osmosis, an example of passive transport. Re-absorption of salts also occurs in the nephron, at the proximal tubule, ascending tubule, and collecting duct. The re-absorption of salts is an example of active transport as it requires energy expenditure.

Public health programs, pesticides and genetic engineering are used to control and/or
prevent disease.
Using an example, explain how ONE of these strategies has been used to control
or prevent disease within the community.

I'm not sure, but for this dot point, do you simply list areas with which they occur?

Nah you don't have to list the areas

 

[obliviousninja]

Nah you don't have to list the areas

how do u effectively asnwer the dot point.

 

[Menomaths]

how do u effectively asnwer the dot point.

How I answered it I guess

Does anyone do the communication option?

Can we discuss questions of this option as i personally find some of them way harder than the core questions.

I'd say make a new thread tbh

 

[obliviousninja]

meno, u doing communication

 

[Menomaths]

meno, u doing communication

Yeah, hbu?

 

[obliviousninja]

Yeah, hbu?

yea. apparently it aligns the best out of all the electives. but oath, that sht a bout the transmission of nerves is confusing. need to look over it

 

[bangladesh]

yeah.. let's just discuss it here. Since most people do communication anyway.

 

[fionarykim]

yeahh i do comm too, and i find bits of it real confusing HAHA
@obliviousninja
it aligns the best? LOL yay

 

[Spiritual Being]

sigh

human story because my school is weird

 

[obliviousninja]

sigh

human story because my school is weird

shoulda done comm. aligns better. wooooooooooo

For those of you studying communications:
Outline the main types of neurons that comprise our nervous systems and compare where these neurons are generally located. An easy three marks.
