AQA Biology Paper 3 Revision Booklet (PART 1)

AQA A Level Biology Exam Preparation for Paper 3

These are four revision booklets to prepare AQA A Level Biology students for Paper 3 exams. Each booklet has every specification point broken down into smaller sections which contains: * the specification points so that students can prepare well for answering AO1 questions * clear and concise revision notes and diagrams on every specification point * recall questions and answers so students can practice their retrieval of key information * model answers to common exam questions * summary questions and answers * hints and tips to help students remember and understand tricky topics * practice exam questions and mark schemes * 25 mark essay preparation (wider reading) **PART 1:** Contains 107 pages of revision material and exam practice on the following topics: 3.5.1 Photosynthesis 3.2.2 All cells arise from other cells (including Required Practical 2) Topic order: **Photosynthesis** Chloroplast ultrastructure Photosynthetic pigments Light Dependent Reactions: Photolysis and Photophosphorylation Light Dependent Reactions: The Electron Transport Chain Light Independent Reactions: Calvin Cycle Limiting Factors of Photosynthesis **All Cells Arise From Other Cells** The Cell Cycle Stages of Mitosis Required Practical 2: Observing Mitosis Cancer Cancer and The Cell Cycle **PART 2** Contains 124 pages of revision material and exam practice on the following topics: 3.8.4 Gene technologies allow the study and alter of gene function allowing a better understanding of organism function and the design of new industrial and medical processes. 3.6.2 Nervous Coordination **Gene Technologies** GCSE recap of Genetic Engineering Making DNA Fragments In Vivo Gene Cloning In Vitro Cloning (PCR) Genetic Fingerprinting Gene Probes and Genetic Counselling Gene Therapy **Nervous coordination** GCSE recap on the structure and function of nervous systems Nerve structure Action potentials The synapse Summation Neuromuscular junctions The effect of drugs on the synapse **PART 3** Contains 122 pages of revision material and exam practice on the following topics: 3.3.4.1 Mass Transport in Animals 3.3.4.2 Mass Transport in Plants **Mass Transport in Animals** GCSE Recap Haemoglobin and Oxygen Transport Circulatory System Structure Tissue Fluid The Cardiac Cycle Cardiovascular Disease **Mass Transport in Plants** Water Transport in Plants Investigating Transpiration Practical (Use of the Potometer) Adaptations in Xerophytes Mass Flow Hypothesis Mass Flow Experiments **PART 4** Contains 81 pages of revision material and exam practice on the following topics: 3.4.2 DNA and Protein Synthesis 3.1.4 Proteins 3.6.1 Stimuli, both internal and external, are detected and lead to a response **DNA and Protein Synthesis** Transcription Translation **Proteins** Protein structure Enzyme models Enzyme Inhibitors The Biuret Test **Stimuli and Receptors** GCSE Recap of the nervous system and reflexes Intro to action potentials Pressure receptors Visual receptors Reminder of the cardiac cycle Control of heart rate
