Step-by-step AQA A Level Biology lessons by topic, building up to exam-style questions. Build a strong foundation in cell biology and biochemistry early on, since later topics on genetics, ecology and physiology all draw on these core concepts.

Biological molecules

Monomers and polymers

Lipids

Proteins

Nucleic acids are important information-carrying molecules

ATP

Water

Inorganic ions

Cells

Cell structure

All cells arise from other cells

Transport across cell membranes

Cell recognition and the immune system

Organisms exchange substances with their environment

Surface area to volume ratio

Gas exchange

Digestion and absorption

Mass transport

Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms

DNA, genes and chromosomes

DNA and protein synthesis

Genetic diversity can arise as a result of mutation or during meiosis

Genetic diversity and adaptation

Species and taxonomy

Biodiversity within a community

Investigating diversity

Energy transfers in and between organisms (A-level only)

Photosynthesis (A-level only)

Respiration (A-level only)

Energy and ecosystems (A-level only)

Nutrient cycles (A-level only)

Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments (A-level only)

Stimuli, both internal and external, are detected and lead to a response (A-level only)

Nervous coordination (A-level only)

Skeletal muscles are stimulated to contract by nerves and act as effectors (A-level only)

Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment (A-level only)

Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems (A-level only)

Inheritance (A-level only)

Populations (A-level only)

Evolution may lead to speciation (A-level only)

The control of gene expression (A-level only)

Alteration of the sequence of bases in DNA can alter the structure of proteins (A-level only)

Gene expression is controlled by a number of features (A-level only)

Gene technologies allow the study and alteration of gene function allowing a better understanding of organism function and the design of new industrial and medical processes (A-level only)
