Photosynthesis & Respiration A-level Biology Worksheet Bundle

My students love completing these visually appealing worksheets, which break topics down into manageable chunks. Useful as a revision exercise or as a quick assessment.

All worksheets are black and white to allow students to add colour to the diagrams, a process which is thought to aid the formation of visual memories.

Photosynthesis pack Includes 4 worksheets covering:

• structure/function of chloroplasts
• light dependent reaction
• light independent reaction *
• limiting factors of photosynthesis

2 different light independent reaction worksheets are included - one with ‘TP’ for AQA/OCR, and the other with ‘GALP’, for those teaching the Edexcel specification.

For each worksheet, differentiated versions are included:

• a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves.
• a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure.
  Completed versions with answers are also included.

APOLOGIES - typo on the light independent reaction is now corrected (original version stated triglycerides were synthesised from GP, this sentence should have read ‘fatty acids are synthesised from GP’).

Respiration pack Includes 5 worksheets covering:

• structure of mitochondria / sites of aerobic respiration
• glycolysis
• the link reaction & Krebs cycle
• oxidative phosphorylation
• anaerobic respiration (lactate fermentation and alcoholic fermentation).

For most worksheets, differentiated versions are included:

• where appropriate, a version containing just the diagram, for more confident students to annotate themselves.
• a scaffolded version, with ‘fill in the gap’ structure.
  Completed versions with answers are also included (for oxidative phosphorylation, answers for both permutations of total ATP produced are included, in order to cover all exam boards i.e. 32 / 38 total ATP).
