I think you are confused with Capsule and Cell wall. A capsule is a polysccharide layer that has a variety of functions, including serum resistance and prevent phagocytosis. This is especially evident in urinary pathogenic E. coli (UPEC) that can evade host immune response. You are right...

Autoclave 121 oC for 15 min Disinfectants (70% ethanol)

He's a good teacher. But Society and Culture generally doesn't attract "academic" students at my school because it is on the same stream as 4 U Maths and English.

This is easy! Just look up any University websites for Staff profile, such as "Academics" or "Researchers" and it will have their research interests etc. Some website from UNSW that can help you are:| UNSW School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences (BABS) www.babs.unsw.edu.au...

Sorry where is the "above picture"?? Judging from your description, it could be a viral infection. If it was a fungal infection, it should have mold on it.. If a parasite is involved, such as insects or snails, you should have a half eaten leaves or leaves with holes.

It depends what it looks like. You can determine the causative agent unless you look at it, and even then, it's not 100% accurate. :) May be describe the sign?

Study it just to be safe.

Segregation is the separation of the chromatids (note, NOT chromosomes) of a chromosome. Each chromatids end up in one daughter cell. So you will end up two identical daughter cells from mitosis. In meiosis, segregation can mean that two homologues chromosomes, e.g. two copies of chromosomes...

hahaha. he was my teacher. yes, I had to put up with him for 2 years :D. And I beleive I was his first and last Band 6 student. And that was back in 2003... But yes, there was never a dull moment in his class. :)

I remember this question when i did S&C. I can type up my answer and the marking guideline for you. It is not exactly the same, but I hope you will get the point. 3 a) Explain the concept of "westernisation" (2 marks) Westernisation is catalysed by globalisation. It is the beliefs and...

Good luck with the half yearlies everyone!

It is highly unlikely they will scale you down. You will most likely end up with your raw mark in BEES/BABS, that is, your final mark should be your raw mark over the entire course. Although they did scaled up 1 or 2 marks in Advanced Genetics/Genetics, which really didn't make much a difference...

A lof of the course don't scale anyway. BIOS1201 doesn't scale. Don't expect too much scaling, if any, from BABS or BEES.

You do not need to know about Natural Killer cells, MHC or APCs.

Can you major in Forensics at UNSW?

Antibiotics.

hmm.. I think for 1, they are looking for answers such as Na+ and Cl- ions, as they actually diffuse through pores of the membrane. For 2, I don't know what it is trying to ask but O2 and CO2 seems correct, as they are dissolved in water and can cross the membrane without going through pores.

argh. perhaps I didn't explained it clearly. Here I go again: - Cyanobacteria looks like a string of cells (examine under light microscopy) - Most other bacteria are single-celled - Cyanobacteria form what is known as heterocysts to fix atmospheric Nitrogen. They are the bigger cells...

People with combined degees don't have to do any geneds. Geneds are still graded like normal subjects and contribute to your WAM.

I guess you can. How are you going to identify the nucleus and organelles in eukaryote? I never did any flowchart in 1201.
