Taking Your GCSEs

Post by Regulator » 5 years ago

Can you answer these GCSE questions?

These are questions taken from this year's exam papers.

10/10 for me.

While the terms decomposer and detritivore are often interchangeably used, detritivores must ingest and digest dead matter via internal processes while decomposers can directly absorb nutrients through chemical and biological processes hence breaking down matter without ingesting it.

(My bold)

The last time I did any Chemistry or Biology, ingestion looked remarkably like a chemical and a biological process. Hell, the whole of life is a chemical process.

I don't think the questions have been set with stroppy adults in mind. The Gruanida has a much more interesting set of questions, which look like the sort of thing I had to do for O-level.

Oh, that reminds me. The idea that someone might be attracted to golf because they're an introvert is utter bollocks. In golf you're taking a three-hour walk with someone, so you're having to talk to them.

My guess is that an introvert would prefer to not spoil a good walk.
