Edexcel GCSE Biology revision

Edexcel GCSE Biology revision for Year 10 and Year 11, matched to the Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Biology (1BI0) specification. Pearson Edexcel GCSE (9-1) Biology (1BI0) covers Key concepts in biology (shared across Papers 1 and 2), Cells and control (Paper 1), Genetics (Paper 1), Protein synthesis (entirely new, Biology only, Higher tier only), Natural selection and genetic modification (Paper 1), Health, disease and the development of medicines (Paper 1), Plant disease and defences (entirely new, Biology only), Plant disease and defences and 6 more topics. Work through a topic in short interactive activities, then take a real past paper to see what stuck.

One thing the Biology questions here are written to catch: Returning to normal afterwards is not the test. Ask what the response does WHILE it is happening: here it recruits more of the same, which is amplification.
