A level Biology OCR Manipulating genomes -Bioinformatics and Genomics

(0)
This full lesson Booklet is the perfect resource to inform and educate students in the most latest developments of Biology in the 21st century. The Booklet begins introducing what the advancements in DNA sequencing have done and how they have produced a large amount of processed data and information and that this has resulted in the development of a brand new are n Biology called Bioinformatics. The booklet then explains as a result of all the information gathered comparison studies have been used to look at the firstly the genome size of different organisms and the number of functional genes they possess. The booklet then demonstrates an inter species comparison study looking at Beta haemoglobin and how a single mutation can lead to disease such as sickle cell anaemia and how Bioinformatics can compare all the different species data and find similarities are closely related to each other. The resource then touches on more complex disease such as cancer and the BRCA gene. The Booklet then explains how pharmaceutical companies are using Bioinformatics to focus on SNPs and using them to make new drugs. This then follows on into the NHS current project the 100,000 genome project and how Bioinformatics will be used. The booklet finishes on two exciting future developments using Bioinformatics synthetic Biology and Proteomics.

A Level Biology OCR Plant transport -Translocation Booklet lesson

(0)
This resource covers the OCR syllabus on PLant transport- Translocation. Firstly it defines what translocation is and then further explains the key terms of source and sink regarding the translocation of sugars. The booklet then further explains the key cells the make up the Phloem tissue, their components and functions. It then goes on to explain the content of the sieve tubes and the reason why Sucrose is transported not glucose. The resource then explains how translocation occurs using the mass flow hypothesis. It shows the key mechanism how Sucrose is loaded into the phloem using a co-transporter. The booklet then shows with clearly labelled diagrams how sucrose is moved along the phloem. The finishing page focuses on the difficult 2021 Translocation question on how glucose produced in photosynthesis is translocated to parts of the plant where glucose is metabolised and stored.

(0)
This A level Booklet resource contains all the vital information needed on the evolution and formation of new species. The booklet is designed to be filled in with the class as you teach them about the two main mechanisms of Allopatric and Sympatric Speciation The booklet introduces Demes and the idea of reproductive isolation and Genetic drift. It then goes into the main types of speciation: Allopatric and Sympatric speciation with some very clear and easy to understand examples. The booklet finishes on other sympatric speciation mechanisms such as Ecological, Temporal and Mechanical isolation.

A Level Biology OCR Animal transport - Transport of oxygen, oxygen dissociation curves

(0)
The booklet covers the difficult concept of how haemoglobin transports oxygen around the body and how the haemoglobin undergoes configurational change so that it bonds oxygen more easily after the first oxygen has joined. The booklet then introduces Oxygen dissociation curves why they are sigmoid shape and how they are made including what the partial pressures means in terms of tissues in the body. There are various amount of tasks in the booklet students are challenged to make a dissociation curve with some data and need to answer some key questions on what is happening at different parts of the graph in relation to partial pressure and haemoglobin shape. The booklet then compares haemoglobin with both myglobin the oxygen storage molecule found in muscles and foetal haemoglobin. Both have questions on what these molecules do and where they are situated on the oxygen dissociation curve graph in relation to adult haemoglobin. The booklet then introduces carbon dioxide transport in great detail and the three main methods it is transported in the blood. The booklet then finishes on the Bohr effect and how carbon dioxide affects the oxygen dissociation curve and what happens when different carbon dioxide concentrations affect haemogobin loading and unloading.

Smoking, Vaping and Disease

(0)
This Booklet on Smoking and Vaping teaches clearly the diseases linked and the effects they cause. It goes into great detail starting with the Substances that are found in Cigarettes including Tar, Carbon monoxide and Nicotine. The booklet then explain the effects of Tar on the gaseous exchange system. Diseases that are explained in great detail are : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease Chronic Bronchitis Emphysema Lung cancer Each disease is explained how Tar and smoking is the cause then further explaining Consequences, Symptoms and treatment. The Booklet then explains the effect of Nicotine and Carbon monoxide passing into the blood and causing changes in circulation. leading to Cardiovascular Disease. The three most significant Cardiovascular diseases are the explained Atherosclerosis Coronary heart disease Stroke The booklet then explains how Cardiovascular disease can be prevented the risk factors associated with it. The last section educates on the new trend of vaporised Nicotine . Users inhale vapor through the mouth from a usually battery-operated electronic device (such as an electronic cigarette). This section explains all of the substances found in vapes and their effects on the body.
