Biological Molecules - Carb/Lipid Recall Tests

Five sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA A-level Biology specification. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE. Doesn’t say ‘test’ on it so that it can be used for consolidation within the lesson.

(The second carbohydrate sheet deliberately repeats some of the first sheet because I found that students needed a second go once they were more aware of what was required following the first one!)

Key words
