Part 1 - Lesson
Learning Objective:
Know the definition of species, characteristics, inherited variation and environmental variation
Describe the difference between inherited variation and environmental variation
Students should be able to describe cellular respiration as an
exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells.
The energy transferred supplies all the energy needed for living
processes.
Respiration in cells can take place
anaerobically (without oxygen), to transfer energy.

Students should recognise the chemical symbols:
C6
H12O6
, O2
, CO2
and H2
O.
Anaerobic respiration in muscles is represented by the equation:
glucose lactic acid
As the oxidation of glucose is incomplete in anaerobic respiration much
less energy is transferred than in aerobic respiration.
Anaerobic respiration in plant and yeast cells is represented by the
equation:
glucose ethanol + carbon dioxide
Anaerobic respiration in yeast cells is called fermentation and has
economic importance in the manufacture of bread and alcoholic drinks

Based on AQA biology specification:
During exercise the human body reacts to the increased demand for
energy.
The heart rate, breathing rate and breath volume increase during
exercise to supply the muscles with more oxygenated blood.
If insufficient oxygen is supplied anaerobic respiration takes place in
muscles. The incomplete oxidation of glucose causes a build up of
lactic acid and creates an oxygen debt. During long periods of vigorous
activity muscles become fatigued and stop contracting efficiently.
(HT only) Blood flowing through the muscles transports the lactic acid
to the liver where it is converted back into glucose. Oxygen debt is the
amount of extra oxygen the body needs after exercise to react with the
accumulated lactic acid and remove it from the cells.

Students should be able to describe cellular respiration as an
exothermic reaction which is continuously occurring in living cells.
The energy transferred supplies all the energy needed for living
processes.
Respiration in cells can take place aerobically (using oxygen) or
anaerobically (without oxygen), to transfer energy.
Organisms need energy for:
• chemical reactions to build larger molecules
• movement
• keeping warm.
Aerobic respiration is represented by the equation:
glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water
Students should recognise the chemical symbols:

and H2O.

Students should be able to explain how the structures of plant tissues
are related to their functions.
Plant tissues include:
• epidermal tissues
• palisade mesophyll
• spongy mesophyll
• xylem and phloem
• meristem tissue found at the growing tips of shoots and roots.
The leaf is a plant organ. Knowledge limited to epidermis, palisade and
spongy mesophyll, xylem and phloem, and guard cells surrounding
stomata.

Students should understand that meiosis leads to non-identical cells
being formed while mitosis leads to identical cells being formed.
Sexual reproduction involves the joining (fusion) of male and female
gametes:
• sperm and egg cells in animals
• pollen and egg cells in flowering plants.
In sexual reproduction there is mixing of genetic information which leads
to variety in the offspring. The formation of gametes involves meiosis.
Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and no fusion of gametes.
There is no mixing of genetic information. This leads to genetically
identical offspring (clones). Only mitosis is involved.

Students should be able to describe:
• different levels of organisation in an ecosystem from individual
organisms to the whole ecosystem
• the importance of interdependence and competition in a community.
Students should be able to, when provided with appropriate information:
• suggest the factors for which organisms are competing in a given
habitat
• suggest how organisms are adapted to the conditions in which they
live.
An ecosystem is the interaction of a community of living organisms
(biotic) with the non-living (abiotic) parts of their environment.
To survive and reproduce, organisms require a supply of materials from
their surroundings and from the other living organisms there.
Plants in a community or habitat often compete with each other for light
and space, and for water and mineral ions from the soil. Animals often
compete with each other for food, mates and territory.
Within a community each species depends on other species for food,
shelter, pollination, seed dispersal etc. If one species is removed it can
affect the whole community. This is called interdependence. A stable
community is one where all the species and environmental factors are in
balance so that population sizes remain fairly constant.
