The course encompasses all areas of both Plant and Animal Biology. The course looks at the bio-chemistry of various organic and inorganic molecules e.g. carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and builds upon this in Year Thirteen to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic pathways occurring in both Photosynthesis and Respiration. Human Physiology forms an important part of the course and students gain an insight into how each of the organ systems work. Plant and Environmental Biology are also vital topics studied and these are becoming more relevant as the issues surrounding the future of the planet make their way up the political agenda. This is also true for the other political 'hot potato' namely genetics. Students will look at many of the ground-breaking discoveries made in recent times and discuss the controversial ideas of where to go next.
