Here's what a star student thought of this essay
Quality of writing
Lack of paragraphs makes the main body of the text quite hard to read and does not split the paragraphs up into relevant topics and discussions. Spelling, grammar and punctuation all good.
Level of analysis
Explains accurately the need for Phytochrome. Clearly describes the link between phytochrome and how light affects flowering plants well, and the role of the two different types of phytrochrome and why there is two different types without me having to have any previous knowledge of the subject, therefore good links and analysis of research seen. Explains the use of an action spectrum which is not introduced in the introduction and should have been as it makes up the second half of the main body of text. Argues the different theories for plant hormones and their affects on flowering plants well but this is not related to the main aim of describing phytochrome and the different effects that light has, therefore the introduction should be expanded to include this as the point seems relevant of the control of flowering in plants which seems the main investigation here, rather than the effect of light on plant activities as the title suggests.
Response to question
Overall essay structure okay, but does not stick to the main point of the question and the title needs to be adjusted to reflect this. Introduction is good, and sets out what the main body of the text will be about without going into too much depth, sets out the main investigations of the essay well, apart from the second half of the essay which should be introduced in the introduction as a point that is examined. Does not answer directly the question of the effect of light on plant activities but more investigates the effect of light, hormones and phytochrome on flowering plants. However, the essay itself is very clear. The conclusion is adequate, but needs to include the hormonal aspect as does the introduction.
