Description

What We Cover in Our A-Level Biology Tuition

Our tuition pack is structured to cover the entire A-Level Biology syllabus for the OCR, AQA, and Pearson Edexcel exam boards. We focus on helping students understand fundamental biological concepts, practice exam-style questions, and build the critical thinking skills needed for both their exams and future studies in fields like medicine, environmental science, and biotechnology.

1. Cell Biology

• Structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
• Sub-cellular structures and their functions
• The fluid mosaic model of membrane structure
• Transport across cell membranes (diffusion, osmosis, active transport)
• The cell cycle, mitosis, and meiosis
• Stem cells and their applications

2. Biological Molecules

• The structure and function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids
• Enzyme structure, function, and kinetics
• DNA structure, replication, and the central dogma (transcription and translation)
• The role of water in biological systems
• Biochemical tests for identifying organic molecules

3. Exchange and Transport

• Gas exchange in plants, insects, and humans
• The structure and function of the circulatory system (heart, blood vessels, blood)
• The role of the lymphatic system
• Haemoglobin and oxygen transport
• The transport of water in plants (xylem and phloem)
• The process of mass flow in plants

4. Biodiversity and Evolution

• The classification of organisms and the five kingdoms of life
• The concept of biodiversity and its measurement (species richness, diversity indices)
• Natural selection and speciation
• Evolutionary processes (genetic drift, gene flow)
• Evidence for evolution (fossils, molecular biology, homologous structures)

5. Coordination and Control

• The nervous system: structure and function of neurons, synapses, and reflex arcs
• The endocrine system: hormone regulation and feedback mechanisms
• The immune system: immunity, vaccination, and the role of antibodies
• The control of heart rate, blood pressure, and homeostasis

6. Genetics and Inheritance

• The structure of genes and alleles
• Mendelian genetics: dominance, recessiveness, codominance, and incomplete dominance
• Punnett squares and genetic cross calculations
• Linkage and gene mapping
• Genetic disorders and biotechnology (gene therapy, genetic screening)

7. Energy Transfers in and between Organisms

• Photosynthesis: light-dependent and light-independent reactions
• The Calvin cycle and factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis
• Respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation
• ATP production and energy transfer in cells
• The role of enzymes in metabolic pathways

8. Control of Metabolic Pathways

• Enzyme-controlled reactions and feedback inhibition
• The role of coenzymes and cofactors
• Metabolism and the regulation of metabolic pathways
• The impact of inhibitors (competitive and non-competitive) on enzyme activity

9. Ecosystems and Population Ecology

• Ecological concepts: habitats, populations, communities, and ecosystems
• Energy flow in ecosystems (food chains, pyramids of biomass, and energy)
• The cycling of nutrients (carbon, nitrogen cycles)
• Conservation biology and the impact of human activity on ecosystems
• Population growth and the carrying capacity of ecosystems

10. Practical Skills and Investigations

• Planning, conducting, and analyzing experiments
• Core practical activities: microscopy, enzyme activity, osmosis, and genetic crosses
• Data collection, presentation, and interpretation
• Experimental error and uncertainty
• Using biological models to simulate biological processes
