WHAT YOU WILL BE TAUGHT: Biological Molecules - Monomers and polymers - Carbohydrates - Lipids - Proteins - Nucleic acids - ATP - Water - Inorganic ions Cells - Cell structure - All cells arise from other cells - Transport across membranes - Cell recognition and the immune system Organisms exchange substances with their environment - Surface area to volume ratio - Gas exchange - Digestion and absorption - Mass transport Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms - DNA, genes, and chromosomes - DNA and protein synthesis - Genetic diversity - Genetic diversity and adaptation - Species and Taxonomy - Biodiversity - Investigating diversity Energy transfers in and between organisms (A level only) - Photosynthesis - Respiration - Energy and ecosystems - Nutrient cycles Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environment (A level only) - Stimuli, both internal and external, are detected and lead to a response - Nervous coordination - Skeletal Muscles are stimulated to contract by nerves and act as effectors - Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems (A level only) - Inheritance - Populations - Evolution may lead to speciation - Populations in ecosystems The control of gene expression (A level only) - Alteration of the sequence of bases in DNA can alter the structure of proteins - Gene expression is controlled by a number of features - Using genome projects
6.5 Average Points Score across all GCSEs (minimum 8 GCSE qualifications). Grade 5 in GCSE Maths and English Language. Subject Entry Criteria: Grade 7 in GCSE Biology or 7 7 in Combined Science You must study A Level Maths and either Chemistry or Psychology alongside Biology
PAPER 1: Written examination (2 hours)—35% of the A level grade -Questions will be on biological molecules, cells, organisms exchange substances with their environment and genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms, and any relevant practical skills. PAPER 2: Written examination (2 hours)—35% of the A level grade -Questions will be on energy transfers in and between organisms, organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environment, genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems, and any relevant practical skills. PAPER 3: Written examination (2 hours)—30% of the A level grade - Questions will be on any content and any practical skills.
