An organism that can make its own food, such as a plant or other producer.

The non-living parts of an ecosystem, such as the atmosphere.

The process carried out by plants that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

An organism that produces its own food, such as a plant.

An organism which must eat other organisms in order to obtain food.

Obtaining the elements needed to make biological molecules

Combined science

Biological molecules

Enzymes: function, structure and specificity

Explaining effects of substrate concentration and temperature on enzyme rate

The effect of pH on the rate of an enzyme reaction: plan

The effect of pH on the rate of an enzyme reaction: practical

The effect of pH on the rate of an enzyme reaction: data analysis

Pupils will learn how substances essential for chemical reactions, and the products of the reactions, are transported into, around and out of the human body.

Pupils learned about differences in the cell structures of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.

This unit explores the roles of sugars, amino acids, and fatty acids in the synthesis and breakdown of biological molecules. It covers enzyme action, transport in organisms, hypothesis development, and data interpretation. Emphasis is on planning experiments and presenting explanations.
