Are you fascinated by the living world and want to know how it all works, from biological molecules to organ systems, from the evolution of species to entire ecosystems? Then A level biology is the subject for you. Whether you are more interested in the biochemistry of proteins and enzymes, or the physiology of nervous and circulatory systems or immunology and biomedicine, A level biology will give you an in-depth introduction preparing you for higher education and career options. Biology at LSC is about developing a depth of biological knowledge, practical expertise and opportunities for wider engagement with the subject. WHAT UNITS/TOPICS WILL BE STUDIED? Module 1 – Development of practical skills in biology, including organ dissection, electrophoresis, colorimetry and microbiological techniques Module 2 – Foundations in biology: cell structure, biological molecules, enzymes, membranes and cell division Module 3 – Exchange and transport: transport in animals (circulatory system), transport in plants (xylem and phloem) Module 4 – Biodiversity, evolution and disease: infectious diseases (HIV, tuberculosis), the immune system, biodiversity (extinction and conservation) and evolution Module 5 – Communication, homeostasis and energy: the nervous and endocrine systems, photosynthesis and respiration Module 6 – Genetics, evolution and ecosystems: control of gene expression, genetic inheritance, genetic engineering, ecology and sustainability
6 in Maths and 5 English language as well as 6/6 in Double Science. You also need an average GCSE score of 34 or above.
