MISS ESTRUCH YOU WILL FOREVER REMAIN A LEGEND
🥺🥺🥺 ahhh thank you!!@
This lady is a legend, she doesn’t get paid enough for what she does, feel like she cares about me personally, more than my teacher.
Honestly, she's been so helpful!
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 😁🥳
So pleased they are helping!!!
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 miss so much, you’ve been so much help to me over the past 2 years. 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.

Miss Estruch you're the goat you've been a massive help in my studies hopefully one day i will name my kid after you.
Miss Estruch really is carrying my A level biology,, ill make sure to mention you when people ask how i got an A* in biology
My GOAT❤
Thank you!
thankyou for all these videos, made biology alot easier :)
I'm so happy it made it easier!!
I’m so worried, I know all the content but there’s been so many difficult application questions and I’m just not feeling confident at all. Hopefully the essay is a good title
yeah hopefully and check out my critical analysis video for help too!
@@MissEstruchBiology thank you! And thanks so much for all your videos and hard work miss!
thank you so much for all of these videos miss! as someone who's missed quite a bit of school lately due to bereavements and illnesses, your videos have meant a ton to me and have made a world of difference between me passing and flunking entirely. i'm so enormously grateful and i hope i'll get the chance to express it in person via my sister! see if you can guess who haha :))
Is there any way we could access the essay links by themselves maybe for a separate cheaper price ? Just because as I’m nearly done with A level biology I don’t want to purchase the whole A level biology notes !
thank you queen!
hope it helps 😊
miss estruch I actually adore u
You literally have taught me all I know in biology lol
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!!
that would be fine to use that as an importance of
Thanks for the help, you didn’t teach at fitzharrys did you?
what if you read the essay titles, don't know what to write, stress out, then forget the answers for the other questions bc your stressing about essay titles?
Then just tell yourself you'll have an idea by the end of the exam. But if you leave it last and then stress out there isn't anything to distract you to calm
Thank you, truly (and I don’t usually leave comments) thank you for everything 😁
You're so welcome 😁 And thank you for commenting!!
thanks so much!!
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?
When you talk about ATP in respiration would you mention that it's used to phosphorylate glucose? I don't understand how it's used in respiration when it's made during chemiosmosis?
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
yes. ATP is used to phosphorylate the Glucose
Thank you
You're so welcome 😁
heyy hunna thank you so much for the videos!! just a quick question: is it worth going over the LIR in detail again in my revision bc we've already had a lengthy exam question on it so would it show up again? thanks :)
my paper 3 is tomorrow i do know some stuff but is there any topics which could be more widely used like for example respiration (w/ O2 transport and oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthase/H+) thank you for this useful video
Can you talk about eutrophication and the nitrogen cycle in the same essay or do they count as the same topic?
For the essay should we always aim to do one paragraph relating to plants?
you don't have to, depends if its relevant
I have 25% extra time so how much time would be recommended for the essay?
You videos have really help me through a level bio so thank you so much :)
50-55minutes. So glad to have helped ☺️
Hi, this is quite an urgent question, is it true that you can’t talk about mainly plants or mainly animals for the essay? For example, if 3 of my topics are about plants and 1 is on animals, would that be allowed?
tysmm
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for your tips. Can i ask, should we bullet point the essay as well?
@Cam Carter Thank you, noted... :-)
Do we get marked down on the essay if we make spelling mistakes?
Miss Estruch can you get marks for drawing diagrams in the essay?
I feel freedom from college which is motivation to revise
haha yes!
I have a question why is semi Conservative replication important
I just did a practice section A paper 3 and got 15…. Oh no 😭😭
hi miss estruch! im taking A levels this year and i need help memorising photosynthesis and respiration, do u have any mnemonics and tips? thanks!
8:31 am 💀
I hope it went well!
Damn i always watch half of these before realising its not OCR
ahhh nooooo, Still some relevant points
