Also yk for this question:
View attachment 45527
It falls under the "investigate the response of a named Australian plant to a named pathogen through practical and/or secondary-sourced investigation" right?

What is the general active plant response im so lost. i thought we just needed to no the response of a named few examples (as inferred by the fucking dotpoint)

i think they just want you to identify what stimulates/inhibits what in the flowchart, e.g. testosterone stimulates sperm production which then stimulates release of inhibin, which causes less lh/fsh to be released by the anterior pituitary gland due to negative feedback. they probably wouldn't expect us to know anything not deducible from the flowchart - e.g. it's pretty obvious inhibin is a hormone and acts on anterior pituitary in a negative feedback loop, but there's no indication of what it specifically does to cause this. and can be deduced from flowchart that leydig cells are stimulated by lh to produce testosterone, that's probably the extent to which we need to actually describe their function or smt

agree that the sample answer is terrible, grammar and logic kinda weird

OK so just describing whats happening in the diagram with each hormone, so no other knowledge other than knowing what a negative feedback loop is? so just basically application

what would u guys recommend doing a brief revision over tonight? im working tonight so i only have like 1 hour tonight to breifly look at some not es :chainsaw2: what do u think is going to be on it

Pretty much any part of the syllabus that can't just be done via common sense (any syllabus dotpoint thats evaluate/discuss can mostly be worked out be common sense, usually) and that you havent done already/cant active recall

would personally look over kidneys and dialysis, how a couple of the technologies (for mod 6, most of the reproductive tech u can sort of work out logically) work (recombinant DNA, Bt cotton/other transgenic examples), probably an example for the project thing in mod 5 (human genome), and also disease profiles both for infectious and non infectious, negative feedback loops, etc

and obviously basic definitions for a couple things - inf vs non inf diseases, gene flow vs genetic drift, anything that may be easily confused
