The Biological Molecules

Biological Molecules, Transport Across Membranes

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2018 - QUESTION 1

Covers a range of content on biological molecules. Make sure you're comfortable with Chemical Structures, such as these, as they crop up quite a lot. It might be useful to draw all of the ones in the spec out on one page so that you can compare them.

Walkthrough

Condensation & Hydrolysis Reactions

Properties of Water

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2018 - QUESTION 2

A nice summary of the content on water that you need to know. Don't worry about drawing the full atomic structure - they're just looking for the symbols to show the charges in the correct places.

Walkthrough

Monosaccharides & Disaccharides

Biological Molecules, Transport Across Membranes

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2018 - QUESTION 1

Covers a range of content on biological molecules. Make sure you're comfortable with Chemical Structures, such as these, as they crop up quite a lot. It might be useful to draw all of the ones in the spec out on one page so that you can compare them.

Walkthrough

Polymers of Carbohydrates

Properties of Water, Transport Across Cell Membranes, Data Analysis, Polymers of Carbohydrates

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2017 - QUESTION 3

For part c) remember to refer to pattern in the data and then explain why this is happening, using your knowledge.

Walkthrough

Triglycerides, Cholesterol, Carbohydrates, Calculate Ratio

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2016 - QUESTION 6

Remember to think about the wider specification as questions can draw from lots of different areas. For questions like dii) - it's useful to specify any correlations evident in the data as a starting point, even though this may seem obvious, as this often gets you a mark in itself.

Walkthrough

Cell Membranes, Phospholipids, Transport Across Membranes

AS LEVEL - PAPER 1 2015 - QUESTION 1

Good example of a cell membrane diagram. Can you name all of the different components as practice?
