Hi, in this series for the second year in a row, I'll be bridging the gap from GCSE to AS-level Biology, providing a comprehensive beginner introduction to the key topics. I will be using the WJEC AS-level syllabus as a guide, but the information should still be relevant to every syllabus. The goal of this series is to help you transition smoothly and get a head start on your AS-level studies during the summer break. ----------------------------------------------------- 🤔What we will cover: 1.) ⚛ Chemical Elements and Biological Compounds: Joining of chemical elements to form biological compounds; understanding the structure and properties of biological compounds. 2.) 🦠 Cell Structure and Organization: Exploring cell components and their functions; understanding the organization of cells into tissues and organs. 3.) 🚚Cell Membranes and Transport: Examining the structure and function of cell membranes; learning about transport mechanisms across cell membranes. 4.) 🗝🔒 Enzymes and Biological Reactions: Understanding the regulation of biological reactions by enzymes; exploring enzyme structure and function. We'll be doing a lot of quizzes so make sure you have a blooket account ready! Depending on how fast we progress we may also cover - 5.)🧬 Nucleic Acids and their Functions: Examining the structure and types of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA); understanding the functions of nucleic acids in genetic information storage and protein synthesis. 6.) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Genetic Information and Inheritance: Exploring the copying and transmission of genetic information to daughter cells; understanding the evolutionary history and relatedness of organisms. 7.) 🫁Adaptations for Gas Exchange: Studying adaptations for efficient gas exchange in organisms; understanding the structure and function of respiratory systems. 8.) 🫀 Adaptations for Transport: Exploring adaptations for effective substance transport in organisms; understanding the structure and function of circulatory systems. 9.) 🍎 Adaptations for Nutrition: Examining adaptations for obtaining and processing nutrients; learning about the structure and functions of digestive systems. ----------------------------------------------------- 👥 Who is this series intended for?: This series is intended for students who have just completed their GCSEs (around ages 15-16) and are preparing to start AS-level Biology. It will serve as a refresher as well as provide a solid foundation for your upcoming studies.
