4.2.1 Principles of organisation & 4.2.2 Animal tissues, organs and organ systemsDescribe the levels of organisation within living organisms
4
Describe the digestive system and how it works as an organ system (from KS3)
5
Describe basic features of enzymes (inc rate calculations for chemical reactions)
6
Describe the lock and key theory as a model of enzyme action and explain how the shape a of the active sites makes the enzyme specific
7
Explain the effect of temperature and pH on enzymes

Describe the digestive enzymes, including their names, sites of production and actions
9
Describe how the products of digestion are used
10
Describe the features and functions of bile and state where it is produced and released from
11
Required practical 3: use qualitative reagents to test for a range of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins
12
Required practical 4: investigate the effect of pH on the rate of reaction of amylase enzyme
13
Describe the structure of the human heart and lungs (inc how lungs are adapted for gaseous exchange)
14
Explain how the heart moves blood around the body (inc role and position of the aorta, vena cava, pulmonary artery & vein and coronary arteries)
15
Explain how the natural resting heart rate is controlled and how irregularities can be corrected
16
Describe the structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries
17
Use simple compound measures such as rate and carry out rate calculations for blood flow
18
Describe blood and identify its different components, inc identifying blood cells from photographs/diagrams
19
Describe the functions of blood components, including adaptations to function
20
Describe what happens in coronary heart disease and what statins are used for
21
Describe and evaluate treatments for coronary heart disease and heart failure (inc drugs, mechanical devices or transplant)

Describe the known risk factors for cancer, including genetic and lifestyle risk factors
29
4.2.3 Plant tissues, organs and systemDescribe plant tissues (epidermal, palisade mesophyll, spongy mesophyll, xylem, phloem and meristem) and describe their functions
30
Explain how the structure of plant tissues are related to their function within the leaf (plant organ) inc stomata and guard cells
31
Recall the palnt parts that form a plant organ system that transports substances around the plant
32
Explain how root hair cells, xylem and phloem are adapted to their functions
33
Describe the process of transpiration and translocation inluding the role of the different plant tissues
34
Explain how the rate of transpiration can be affected by different factors (inc naming the factors)
35
Describe the role of stomata and guard cells in the control of gas exchange and water loss
