Biological molecules – The structure, role and properties of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, DNA and RNA

Biological systems – The specialisation of the structure and function of the nervous, respiratory and circulatory systems

Plant biology – Plant cell structure, transport of water, uses of plant products

Genetics – Inheritance, mutations, gene therapy, DNA profiling, PCR, The Human Genome project

Health and metabolism – Aerobic and anaerobic respiration; The role of glycolysis, Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation in the production of ATP

Health and disease – Structure of bacteria and viruses, infectious diseases and immune system

Biodiversity and taxomomy – The importance of epidemiological data, taxonomy and biodiversity

The essential modules in A and AS level Biology covering the specification are delivered all year round and extensive revision is available closer to examinations. This comprises of past examination papers, memory aids and the application of effective revision techniques. For students requiring extra help with specific modules, one-to-one tuition can also be arranged.
