Thanks for the Feedback!

Just want to thank my student for his valuable feedback and suggestions for improvement. In particular, I just tagged all my posts so that the reader (you) can view all my posts relating to a particular topic at one go.

He also suggested I do not 'over' abbreviate some of my terms. I guess I will have to strike a good balance so that you will not find my answer as long as those in the worked solution book. In that 5-10 min revision pockets, I want the reader to be able to focus on the most essential parts of the answer so here are some of my usual abbreviations:

adv (advantage/advantageous)
a/x (across)
b/w (between) 
conc (concentration)
cond (condition) 
cont (continuous)

dev (develop/development) 
det (determine)
disadv (disadvantage/disadvantageous)
e (electron) 
ETC (electron transport chain)
gp (group)
ind (individual)
membr (membrane) 
mitoch (mitochondrion)
no. (number)
PS (photosystem)
RE (restriction enz) 
rel (relative)
ref to (make reference to) 

ribo (ribosome)

surf (surface)
temp (temperature)
w (with)
w/n (within)
w/o (without)  
x/ref (cross reference to) 
- (absent)
+ (and)

etc... (this list will be expanded over time)
