Biology is the study of life itself. When you choose to study A-Level Biology you will study everything from the structure of cells to the human body and the greater environment around us. Biology studies everything related to living organisms and their living functions, from humans to bacteria and microscopic creatures, including animals, insects, and all types of plants of all kinds. The study of biology at present is linked to many other scientific fields, which biologists desperately need when studying their field, and these sciences include physics, chemistry, and medicine, all of which play a fundamental role in explaining the organic functions of living organisms. Studying A-level Biology will develop students’ practical skills, mathematical skills, research and investigative skills as well as their ability to solve problems. Topics Studied: ● Cells and microscopes ● Biological molecules, membranes, and DNA ● Transport in animals and plants ● Communicable diseases ● Classification and Evolution ● Respiration ● Genetics ● Ecosystems and populations ● Biotechnology ● Excretion ● Photosynthesis ● The Nervous and Endocrine systems
Grade 66 in Combined Science or Grade 6 in Biology (Separate Science) and Grade 6 in Maths.
Paper 1 – Biological Processes 100 marks – 2hrs 15 mins Paper 2 – Biological Diversity 100 marks – 2hrs 15 mins Paper 3 – Unified Biology 70 marks – 1hr 30 mins Practical Endorsement: 12 Assessed practicals. The skills are tested in exams
