The biology course is divided into three sections, with each encompassing the relevant practical skills. Component 1: Foundations in Biology This includes topics such as cell structure, biological molecules, nucleotides and nucleic acids, enzymes, biological membranes, cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation. Component 2: Exchange and transport This includes topics such as exchange surfaces, transport in animals, transport in plants. Component 3: Biodiversity, evolution and disease This includes communicable diseases, disease, prevention and the immune system, biodiversity, classification and evolution. Year 13 includes learning additional topics such as cellular control, patterns of inheritance, manipulating genomes, cloning and biotechnology, ecosystems, populations and sustainability. Biology can be combined with any other subjects but goes particularly well with chemistry.
