AS Year : Development of practical skills in biology. You will develop skills in planning, implementing, analysing and evaluating practical experiments in biology. Foundations in biology. You will study cells as the basic units of all living things, how they communicate, divide and become specialised to their function. You will also discover the key biological molecules and develop an understanding of their importance in living organisms. Exchange and transport. You will develop an understanding of how the heart and lungs are adapted for their functions and how oxygen and nutrients are transported around the body. Similarly you will examine the transport systems found in plants. Biodiversity and evolution. You will learn about diseases and their control by the immune system. You will also consider evolution and how it has generated such a wide variety of organisms.
