A Level Biology builds and expands upon the content studied at GCSE. This includes: • Detail regarding the biochemistry of cell processes. • Transport and exchange within physiological processes, including circulation and gas exchange in a wide variety of organisms. • Study of the biochemistry of respiration and photosynthesis. • How respiration and photosynthesis lead to energy transfers in individual organisms and the wider environment. • An in-depth study of genetics and how this links to evolution. • How the study of genetics is driving treatments of disease.
Grade 6 and above in all GCSE Science qualifications. Grade 6 and above in GCSE Mathematics. Grade 7 and above in GCSE Biology (for Triple Science students) or Grade 7 and above in average of GCSE Combined Science Biology papers. Grade 5 and above in GCSE English and three other GCSEs at grade 5 and above.
