This engaging revision lesson challenges students on their understanding of the homeostatic control system that regulates blood glucose concentration. The PowerPoint and accompanying resources have been designed to check on the understanding of the details in specification point 5.3.2 of the AQA biology and combined science specifications.

A common mistake in this topic is that students confuse glycogen with glucagon and use them incorrectly so time is spent to ensure that students recognise the difference between the complex carbohydrate and the hormone.

In addition to challenging the students on their knowledge of this control system, the following linked topics are also challenged:

  • key biological terms (beginning with G)
  • the digestive system
  • structures in a control system
