What examiners said

This was a well-answered question. Most candidates gave the equation of anaerobic respiration to gain full credit.

— Examiner report, May/June 2022, 0413/11 Q3(b)(ii) (Cambridge)

The majority of candidates correctly stated the type of respiration.

— Examiner report, October/November 2019, 0413/12 Q6(a) (Cambridge)

Some candidates did not use appropriate physical activities. When correctly identifying physical activities, some weaker candidates gave unrelated situations when aerobic and anaerobic respiration are used within the activity, rather than when a situation required a change.
