GCSE Biology Paper 1

There are four types of cells in Earth biology. These are animal cells, plant cells, fungus and bacterium. Many of them share similar features, but there are differences. Find out what they are here.

What separates you from that tree outside the window? Plant and animal cells operate differently. The addition of chlorophyll allows plants to photosynthesise - taking energy directly from the sun.

Getting sick is an unfortunate part of life. Your body works constantly to fend off infection and disease. Constant exposure can help the immune system become stronger. But sometimes we need a helping hand from medicine.

This MindMap brilliantly illustrates the constant attacks on your body. Everything from Athlete's Foot to the Common Cold can slow us down, but there are a number of ways the body or the chemist can respond.

Take a moment to look back at the last two sections before you begin this quiz. These questions are timed which helps create a more realistic exam situation. Aim for a high score if you want to ace the real exam.

This quiz will look back on everything we have covered in this course from the different types of pathogens, sources of medicines and defense mechanisms of plants, among others. Test your knowledge here.

All life requires energy. Plants gain their energy from the sun, but they need some materials in place before that can happen. Animals have a metabolism that can extract energy from a varied diet. Learn more here.

One last quiz to help in your revision of this course. There are ten questions on bioenergetics in this quiz. Questions can be multiple choice, true or false or fill in the blank. Try for 80% or higher. We know you can do it.
