Chapter: 01 (Cell & it’s structure/Life process)
1. Compare the plant and animal cell with diagram.
2. Write down the advantage and disadvantage of light and electron microscope.
3. Write down the function of nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, cell wall,
mitochondria, chloroplast, Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosome’s and
vacuoles.
4. Level of organization in organism.
5. Define tissue, organ and system.
Tissue: group of specialized cells carrying out a particular function in the body.
6. Define stem cell.
7. Write down the advantage and disadvantage of using stem cells in
medicine. Advantage:
- used as a treatment option of diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson’s
disease.
- Stem cells have regenerative properties. The potential is
unlimited. Disadvantage:-
stem cells can have high rejection rate.
- Obtaining any form of stem cell is a difficult process.
- It is an expensive process.
- Can cause cancer.
8. Define diffusion, osmosis and active transport.
9. Difference between osmosis and diffusion.
10. Surface area to volume ratio.
11. Describe the process of movement of substance into and out of cell.
12. Factors affecting the movement of substances.
- Surface area
- Temperature
- Distance/ thickness
- Concentration gradient
13. Define enzyme. How do enzymes work?
14. How temperature affects the rate of enzyme activity.
Chapter: 02 (Variety of living organisms)

1. Characteristics of living organisms
- They require nutrition
- They control internal conditions
- They respire
- They reproduce
- They excrete their waste
- They grow and develop
- They respond to their surrounding

- They move
2. Features of bacteria, virus, fungi, protoctists, animal and plant.
3. Diagram of bacteria, yeast and virus.
4. Saprotrophic nutrition- fungi feed by extracellular secretion of digestive enzymes
on to food material and absorption of the organic products.

Chapter: 03 (Gaseous exchange)
1. Difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration with chemical equation.

2. Structure of human respiratory system (diagram labeling).
3. Breathing mechanism/ role of intercostals muscle and diaphragm in ventilation.
4. Adaptation of alveoli for gas exchange/ adaptation of lungs for efficient
gaseous exchange.
5. Biological consequence of cigarette smoking.
(Effect+ Disease)
Chapter: 04 (Food and Digestion)

7. Describe the process of peristalsis.
8. Role of digestive enzyme in digestion./ process of food digestion
9. Adaptation of small intestine for absorption.
10. Structure and adaption of villus.
11. Investigate energy content in food sample.
Chapter:05 (Transport in Humans)
1. Adaptations of red blood cells make them suitable for the transport of oxygen.
2. How the immune system responds to disease using white blood cells
3. How vaccination results in the manufacture of memory cells (which enable
future antibody production to the pathogen to occur sooner, faster and in greater
quantity)
4. How platelets are involved in blood clotting.
5. the structure of the heart and how it functions/ cardiac cycle/ double circulation
6. How the heart rate changes during exercise
7. How factors may increase the risk of developing coronary heart disease
8. How the structure of arteries, veins and capillaries relate to their function
with diagram.
9. The general structure of the circulation system, including the blood vessels.
10. The need for a transport system in multicellular organisms
11. why simple, unicellular organisms can rely on diffusion for movement of
substances in and out of the cell.
