What examiners said
Stronger candidates were usually able to give two well-expressed differences between aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Weaker candidates sometimes mixed up their knowledge about the two types of respiration or were unable to apply it well to make two clear differences.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0413/11 Q11(a) (Cambridge)
Candidates that scored well in (a) generally scored well in this question. Some weaker candidates confused anaerobic examples for aerobic ones and others were too vague in their descriptions of the situations for credit to be awarded.
— Examiner report, October/November 2023, 0413/11 Q11(b) (Cambridge)
Only stronger candidates gained credit by explaining when each type of respiration would be used during the race. Weaker candidates typically provided generic information only.
