Biology Task for Y12 Preparation
Engage in four comprehensive biology tasks to enhance your knowledge in biological molecules, cells, genetic variation, and organism-environment interactions. Develop flashcards on key terms, explore transport across cell membranes, understand cell recognition, study gas exchange systems, delve into enzymes, digestion, circulatory systems, DNA, genes, and protein synthesis. Prepare effectively for your upcoming Y12 curriculum through these engaging tasks.

Presentation Transcript
Future biologists! I have put together 4 tasks for you to complete over this long time off to keep you busy and also prepare you for Y12. The topics we cover in Y12 are: Biological molecules Cells Organisms exchange substances with their environment Genetic variation, variation, and relationships between organisms A lot of these topics you have already done in Y11 but we just go into a lot more detail. In order to prepare you for this I would like you to please complete the following tasks:
Task 1: Make flash cards of definitions for the following key words Biological molecules: Covalent bonding Ionic bonding Hydrogen bonding Polarised Monomers Polymers Condensation reactions Cell structure: Resolution Magnification Cell specialisation Epithelial tissues Eukaryotic cells Prokaryotic cells Mitosis
Transport across cell membranes: Plasma membrane Phospholipid Diffusion Facilitated diffusion Osmosis Active transport Cell recognition and the immune system: Pathogen Immunity Antigen Lymphocyte Antibody Monoclonal antibody Herd immunity
Exchange between organisms and their environment: Surface area to volume ratio Mass transport Counter-current flow Stomata Transpiration Xerophytes Water potential Structure of the human gas- exchange system: Trachea Bronchi Bronchioles Alveoli Inspiration Expiration Internal intercostal muscles External intercostal muscles
Enzymes and digestion: Enzymes Amylase Protease Lipase Denature Mass transport: Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Haemoglobin
Circulatory systems: Metabolism Atrium Ventricle Aorta Vena cava Pulmonary artery Pulmonary vein Coronary artery Arteries Veins Capillaries Transport of water: Primary structure Secondary structure Tertiary structure Haemoglobin
DNA, genes and protein synthesis: Gene Genetic code Chromosome Chromatid Homologous Diploid Haploid Allele Meiosis Genome Genetic diversity and adaptation: Mutation Gametes Gene pool Natural selection Anatomical Physiological Behavioural
Biodiversity: Classification Taxonomy Domain Community Species richness Habitat Biomass Ecosystems Random sampling
Task 2: Annotate the diagrams The following diagrams on the next two slides are of an animal cell and a plant cell These are in much more detail than Y11 and you need to carry out some research in order to fully label them See if you can add some annotations to describe the function of each organelle you have labelled
Task 3: Revisit Y11 content Use your notes/revision guide from Y11 to write up neat notes of the digestion system, food tests and enzymes Create a summary poster for this topic
Task 4: Research Task Choose one of the following topics: - Viruses - Gas exchange in insects - Transport of water in the xylem - Genetic code - Biodiversity Research your chosen topic and carry out further reading around this topic (reference where you got your information from) Choose how to present your work, e.g. powerpoint, word document, summary poster
