A Level Biology Photosynthesis, Respiration, Energy and Ecosystems essentials crib sheet

An exceptional-quality booklet (27 pages!) of clear, easy to understand notes on photosynthesis, respiration, energy and ecosystems from the A Level Biology ‘Energy transfers in and between organisms’ topic, created in accordance with the AQA syllabus. The resource may also be suitable for other exam boards such as Edexcel and OCR.
The resource includes essential content from the A Level course, laid out in an intelligible and straightforward manor.
I often found the A Level textbooks to be overwhelming and visually intense, so the resource was created to combat this.

The resource also includes a glossary of key terms for you/students to add definitions to throughout! This helps with recall and consolidating your knowledge.

The fact sheet discusses:

• Oxidation and reduction
• Photoionisation
• Photophosphorylation
• The Chemiosmotic Theory (formation of ATP)
• The photolysis of water
• Site of the light-dependent reaction
• Aerobic respiration
• Glycolysis
• Link reaction and Krebs cycle
• Oxidative phosphorylation
• Anaerobic respiration
• Food chains and energy transfer
• Energy transfer and productivity
• Nutrient cycles
• Environmental issues concerning use of nitrogen-containing fertilisers
• Glossary
