    Thank you for all these videos Miss Estruch!! I've struggled through A level biology and your videos on the advanced info have made a world of difference in my understanding of the content. 2 more days then no more biology!! Again, thank you 😁🥳

    MIss Estruch you are AMAZING. In the past month I have crammed using your videos and livestreams and my understanding has increased so much. I've been getting D's and E's all throughout A-Level biology, but now I feel so confident that I can get a C! The first two exams have gone well and I owe it all to you. THANK YOU!

    Thank you so much Miss Estruch!! Honestly these past 2 years have been a difficult challenge, but you were always there for us, and your videos are so useful, I've jumped up entire grades because of you. Thank you so much for being there for us, even if it was virtual. I owe my grade and success all to you. I hope you have an amazing summer and many blessings ahead!

Genuinely after last year I never thought I was going to pass bio and I really wanted to give up the subject but I stayed anyways and I’m glad I did. Thank you so much for being there virtually (lol), I owe my grade all to you! I hope you have a beautiful summer 🫶🏾.

    for the essay, if your AO1 section was about photosynthesis producing sugars and for the AO2 you wrote about how those sugars are used in respiration, would that count as 2 topics or just one? (because they're in the same paragraph) also thank you so much for all your videos!!

    @madweee4204 Рік тому

    Hi! Our teachers always say we need to link between the topics very explicitly- so in an essay about shapes linking together, we’d need to do a linking statement between neurotransmitters for example, AND the next topic of say, enzymes. The aqa website says we dont need to do this, only link to the question, but it makes me a bit anxious getting different sources of info!!! What would you suggest?

    • @bowww4226
      @bowww4226 Рік тому +1

      There’s already ATP in your body you’re never going to have no ATP. You put in 2 ATP at the start of glycolysis but make 4 so there’s a net gain of 2 ATP in glycolysis alone. There’s also substrate level phosphorylation in the Krebs cycle, and then yes most ATP is made in oxidative phosphorylation
