Cell transport		Enzymes		Respiration		Communicable diseases & Preventing disease		Adaptations, interdependence and competition		Ecology and biodiversity

How molecules move across cell membranes looking at diffusion, osmosis and active transport. Required practical – How salt/sugar solutions effect mass of plant tissue.		Organisation of the digestive system and the enzymes involved. How and where the enzymes function within the digestive system. Required practical’s – How pH effects amylase enzyme. Qualitative tests for lipids, sugars, proteins and fats.		Aerobic and anaerobic respiration. How the body responds to exercise and the relationship between respiration and metabolism		Structure and effects of different pathogens. Function of antibiotics and painkillers accompanied with how drugs are developed. Separate – Monoclonal antibodies and plant defence response. Required practical (sep only) Effect of antiseptics on bacterial growth.		Biotic, abiotic factors and how they interact with the surrounding ecosystem. Adaptations of organisms within the ecosystem.		Waste management. Human land use and its impact on deforestation and global warming. Maintaining biodiversity and breeding programs for endangered species. Separate – Food production and food security. Required practical – Field investigation
