    Infectious Disease

    Depends on what type of food poisoning you're talking about. From your list there, Staphylococcus-contaminated food is infectious. But if you use mercury or any other heavy metal food poisoning, then it is not infectious. As to how many marks you might get, it really also depends on the marks...

    Enzymes and catalysts in general

    hmmm, if the question ask you to explain ONE, then you can just explain one (for 1 or 2 mark question). If it's a 3+ mark question, then it won't hurt to explain both. If you decided to do biochemistry at university, the current, most-up-to-date model is actually not any one of those, but...

    Simple Question on Veins

    You are correct. Veins have thinner wall, but a wider diameter in its lumen where blood flows, compared to arteries.

    Adv sci -flexibility

    You don't have to. A lot of Adv science students at UNSW don't know what they want to major in until their second year. In the first year, you bascially do all the same subjects regardless of your what your major is. Then you can decide in your second year what you want to major in. The UNSW...

    Enzymes and catalysts in general

    Why it is not consumed?? This is because enzyme is a protein and all it does is to lower the activation energy required for a reaction to occur. So in biological terms, substrates bind and fit into the enzyme active site and the enzyme convert them to products and releases them again. This...

    please don't get your teminologies mixed up!

    Please don't get your teminologies mixed up! If you are not sure of the differences of some of the terms, ask! You will be penalised in the HSC exam if you use the terms incorrectly! If even you wrote an outstanding response for the 6/7 marks question, you will lose marks for using an incorrect...

    first immune response vs secondary immune response

    Remember don't get mix-up between secondary immune response and second line of defence. They are completely different and cannot be used interchangeably. Saedie, I don't think you can compare the "length" of response between 2nd and 3rd line of defence because while a 3rd line of defence is...

    Difference between ALLELE and GENE

    I think you're getting confused about how many copies of chromosomes are in a human somatic (body) cell. Remeber, a body cell has 46 chromosomes. This equates to 2 copies of EACH chrosomsome (2 times 23 = 46). In reference to your example, there are 2 copies of the same genes on chromosome...

    Australian Idol 2005

    Yep, I'll be happy if Emily win the thing. It would be cool if Emily and Anne are in the final - battle of the voices! Hope the winner's single won't be as dodgy as Listen With Your Heart.

    Difference between ALLELE and GENE

    No. not every gene has 2 copies. For example, the male has only 1 copy of the sex chromosome, therefore all the genes that are on the Y chromosome are called hemizygous. And this is true for the X chromosome in males. And I don't really get what you're trying to ask. If there is a gene on...

    Dropping Subjects

    Yep, just tough it out. Why? 1. If you drop, you fail, might as well give it a crack! 2. You have nothing to lose! 3. And if you pass you don't have to ever do it again 4. And plus you don't want a "Fail" to appear on your record.

    Australian Idol 2005

    All of them sang average. Mark holden left the show. I think he was really looking forward to "the Prayer" standards but everyone under-delievered by his high standards. he got pissed and left. But I agree with him. Voters may decide for today. But in a year or two, only true stars will...
