Where they differed most
A student has one evening before a biology exam and hasn't revised topics: cells, enzymes, digestion, respiration, photosynthesis. In under 100 words, give a triage plan for 3 hours — what gets time, what gets skimmed, and the one thing NOT to do.
**3-hour triage plan:** - **0:00–0:45 Cells:** organelles, diffusion/osmosis, cell division basics. - **0:45–1:25 Enzymes:** active site, denaturation, temperature/pH graphs. - **1:25–2:05 Respiration + Photosynthesis:** equations, where they happen, limiting factors. - **2:05–2:35 Digestion:** organs, enzymes, absorption. - **2:35–3:00 Practice:** past-paper questions, mark schemes, fix weak spots. **Skim:** long textbook explanations and niche details. **Do NOT:** spend the evening making beautiful notes—test yourself instead.
**Deep Dive (2 hrs):** Respiration, Photosynthesis, Enzymes. Memorize chemical equations, limiting factors, and lock-and-key models. These are high-yield, complex, and heavily interconnected. **Skim (1 hr):** Cells, Digestion. Review labeled diagrams, basic organelle functions, and match digestive enzymes to their specific substrates. **NOT to do:** Do not passively read the textbook or make pretty notes. Use "blurting" (writing everything you know from memory) and past paper questions to actively force recall.
