This resource is an exemplar AQA A-level essay on the topic of 'The importance of nucleotides, molecules derived from nucleotides and nucleic acids in keeping organisms alive’. This essay was awarded ‘24±1’/25. To achieve full marks, slightly more above spec knowledge should have been used. Remember, to achieve 21-25 marks in the essay (band 5), it should contain at least 4 well developed, A-LEVEL QUALITY (no marks for GCSE-level knowledge) points relating to the IMPORTANCE of a specific biological cycle.

This resource is an exemplar AQA A-level biology essay on the title ‘the importance and function of ions in biology’. This essay was awarded 23/25. To achieve full marks, slightly more above-spec knowledge should have been added. This resource is intended as an example of how to structure and write an A-level biology essay. Remember that for a band 5 (21-25 marks) the essay should contain at least 4 well-developed, A-LEVEL QUALITY points relating both to function AND importance of a specific ion.

This resource is an essay on the title ‘The Impacts of tectonic hazards are mainly economic, rather than political or environmental’ Discuss (33) Marked as 32/33.

Evaluative conclusion summarizing points and asserting the final judgment. RELEVANT CASE STUDY NOTES CAN BE FOUND ON MY PAGE *information contained within was correct at the time of writing.

This resource is an exemplar AQA A-level essay on the topic of 'The importance of cycles in biology’. This essay was awarded 24/25. To achieve full marks, slightly more above spec knowledge should have been used. Remember, to achieve 21-25 marks in the essay (band 5), it should contain at least 4 well developed, A-LEVEL QUALITY (no marks for GCSE-level knowledge) points relating to the IMPORTANCE of a specific biological cycle. Simply talking in depth about a cycle does not relate to the essay title. YOU MUST be talking about the importance of that cycle. For example, the Calvin cycle is IMPORTANT as it allows plants to produce triose phosphate, from which other useful substances can be produced. TP can be converted into cellulose, glucose, amino acids etc which will aid plant growth. Also remember that topics should be LINKED to attain the highest marks. For example, one might mention the nitrogen cycle and how it allows for plant growth via NO3- uptake. This can be linked to another point- the Calvin cycle also allows for plant growth via the production of glucose and cellulose from TP. Please leave a review if you have used this resource :)
