Biology
GCSE Biology explores life from cells to ecosystems. Students study cell biology, organisation, infection and response, bioenergetics, homeostasis, inheritance and ecology, with required practicals. Mapped to AQA, Edexcel and OCR.
Topics in Biology
Cell Biology
Cells are the unit of life. This topic covers cell structure, cell division and transport across membranes.
Explore →Organisation
Cells organise into systems. This topic covers tissues, organs, enzymes, and the digestive and circulatory systems.
Explore →Infection and Response
The body defends itself. This topic covers pathogens, the immune system, vaccination and drug development.
Explore →Bioenergetics
Energy flows through living things. This topic covers photosynthesis and aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Explore →Homeostasis and Response
The body keeps itself balanced. This topic covers the nervous system, hormonal coordination and homeostasis.
Explore →Inheritance, Variation and Evolution
Life changes across generations. This topic covers DNA, genetics, variation, evolution and selective breeding.
Explore →Ecology
Everything is connected. This topic covers ecosystems, biodiversity, the carbon and water cycles, and human impact.
