Hey! This is my first assignment for Unit 8 of the BTEC Level 3 Applied Science course, all about the musculoskeletal system. It covers the structure and function of bones, muscles, and joints, along with some common disorders and their treatments. I was really proud to achieve a Distinction for this work, and I hope it can help guide you too! Just a little reminder — please use this as a reference only and don’t copy it directly, as that could count as plagiarism. Good luck with your stud...

This assignment explores the application of thin layer chromatography (TLC) and paper chromatography to separate and identify components in mixtures, specifically plant pigments from spinach and various amino acids. Using silica gel as the stationary phase and acetone or ammonia solution as the mobile phase, pigments and amino acids were separated based on their solubility and adsorption characteristics. RF (retention factor) values were calculated to aid in identifying compounds such as caroten...

This assignment explores two key practical investigations: the calibration of digital and alcohol thermometers, and the analysis of cooling curves for paraffin wax and stearic acid. The thermometer calibration was conducted using ice water and boiling water to assess measurement accuracy. The cooling curve experiment involved heating and cooling 8g samples of both substances, recording temperature changes at one-minute intervals over 17 minutes. The resulting data was analyzed to identify phase ...

The document covers key biological concepts related to genetics and cell division. It explains the structure and function of chromosomes, including chromatin, chromatids, and centromeres, and describes the human karyotype with its 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs, distinguishing between autosomes and sex chromosomes. It details homologous and non-homologous chromosomes, the roles of haploid and diploid cells, and the differences between mitosis and meiosis in both plant and animal cells. Prac...
