AQA GCSE Biology revision

AQA GCSE Biology revision for Year 10 and Year 11, following the AQA GCSE Biology (8461) specification point by point. AQA GCSE Biology (8461) covers Cell biology (spec 4.1), Organisation (spec 4.2), Infection and response (spec 4.3), Bioenergetics (spec 4.4), Homeostasis and response (spec 4.5), Inheritance, variation and evolution (spec 4.6), Ecology (spec 4.7). Short interactive activities first, then a real past paper: the activities teach it, the paper tests it.

One thing the Biology questions here are written to catch: Xylem transport is driven by evaporation from the leaf rather than by gravity, so turning the leaf over does not reverse it.

Best next step
