I just got out of the exam hall, tell me what you guys thought of it. It was alright, IMO.

I hope the grade boundary isnt too unforgiving. 4-5 were confusing :(
What was the answer to the first question btw? The magnification-resolution thing? I gave ×400, cause it seemed right, images get blurrier when magnifications increases right? Im so confused.
and is ×1500 possible with a LM?

What was the fluorescent & plasmodium one? I picked D in both because they made more sense to me

Can you please tell me what was the question ? :O I dont remember :p

It was something along the lines of red fluorescent light was for human membrane and green for mouse membrane. First the colours are separate but after a while there's an even distribution. Vary vague but that's all I remember -Sorry

I chose D for the membrane one too.. Don't remember what was the option for plasmodium.. Anywho what did u all choose for the thing which directly effects Surface Area.. I chose emphysema and smoking
I did emphysema and lung cancer since it was the only option which excluded smoking. I think smoking does not directly cause reduced S.A. like stated in the question.

For the lipid bilayer one, I only put 2. I'm sure the membrane only depends on the hydrophobic tails. I also chose Emphysema and lung cancer, made the most sense. I chose A for the membrane one, not sure why haha. And what did you choose for that cellulose question?
