A complete set of 14 single-sided question sheets to cover all of the Biological Molecules section of the AQA A-level Biology specification. The questions are deliberately straightforward, to encourage students to revise and then to test their recall. They are useful across the ability range and would work well using a VLE. They don’t say ‘test’ on them and could be used as consolidation during a lesson. (I started with the carbohydrate one which is why the second one has a bit of a recap of the first. Students needed a bit of a second chance once they realised what was required) Each sheet is single-sided and has between about 22 and 30 marks Every sheet has an accompanying answer sheet with the same format as the question sheet for use on a projector for peer/self marking.

Chapter 3 unit from the OCR Biology A A-Level all about biological molecules. *The unit was planned with the intention of carrying out flipped learning whereby students do pre-reading on the topic prior to the lesson so that we can consolidate that learning with activities/exam questions during the lesson. * Including: 3.1 Biological elements 3.2 Water 3.3 Carbohydrates 3.4 Testing for carbohydrates 3.5 Lipids 3.6 Structure for proteins 3.7 Types of proteins 3.8 Nucleic acids 3.9 DNA replication and the genetic code 3.10 Protein synthesis 3.11 ATP

This resource contains all of the lessons for the first unit of AQA A-Level Biology - Biological Molecules. Including: 1.1 Introduction to Biological Molecules 12 Carbohydrates & Monosaccharaides 1.3 Carbohydrates - Disaccharaides and Polysaccharides 1.4 Starch, Glycogen & Cellulose 1.5 Lipids 1.6 Proteins 1.7 Ezyme Action 1.8 Factors Affecting Enzyme Action 1.9 Enzyme Inhibition

This bundle consists of three lessons, the first recalls the components of a healthy diet, focusing on the chemical structures of the macrunutrients carbohydrates, fats and proteins, then explaining why they are referred to a macro molecules. The second lesson is a practical lesson, either using teacher demo or student activity to conduct all food test, with supplied student worksheets. The final lesson on DNA structure contains Youtube videos and several activities, with a CIE assessment included.

All lessons for the OCR Biology A A Level Topic 2.1.2 Biological Molecules. This includes a 62 page workbook (with exam questions (and answer booklets) to go with these lessons. Please leave a review and check out my other resources.

BTEC RQF (new spec. circa 2016) 5 lessons covering Learning Aim A for Unit 10 Biological Molecules and Metabolic Pathways. I use an adapted version of the Authorised Assignment Brief to go along with these. They are available for free in my shop. Broken up Assignment Tasks are in the presentations :) Diagrams mostly come from Save My Exams and Science Hive - excellent sources for high quality and learner-friendly diagrams.

This bundles contains all PPT’s and resources required to teach the whole unit. Interactive lessons, provide opportunity for students to research, structured notes, clear visual diagrams of bondings. The bundle also include Biofactsheets and exam questions and mark schemes.

It’s fair to say that cell structure and biological molecules are two of the most important topics in the OCR A-level Biology A course and all 19 lessons that are included in this bundle have been planned at length to cover the module 2.1.1 & 2.1.2 specification points in the detail required at this level. The lesson PowerPoints and their accompanying resources contain a wide range of tasks as well as regular checks to allow students to assess their understanding of the current content as well as prior knowledge checks to emphasise the importance of making links to topics in other modules. The following specification points in modules 2.1.1 (cell structure) and 2.1.2 (biological molecules) are covered by the lessons in this bundle: 2.1.1 The use of microscopy to observe and investigate different types of cell and cell structure in a range of eukaryotic organisms The use of the eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer The use of staining in light microscopy The use and manipulation of the magnification formula The difference between magnification and resolution The ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells and the functions of the different cellular components The interrelationship between the organelles involved in the production and secretion of proteins The importance of the cytoskeleton The similarities and differences between the ultrastructure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells 2.1.2 The properties and roles of water in living organisms The concept of monomers and polymers and the importance of condensation and hydrolysis reactions The chemical elements that make up biological molecules The structure and properties of glucose and ribose The synthesis and breakdown of a disaccharide and a polysaccharide by the formation and breakage of glycosidic bonds The structure of starch, glycogen and cellulose molecules The relationship between the structure, function and roles of triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol in living organisms The general structure of an amino acid The synthesis and breakdown of dipeptides and polypeptides The levels of protein structure The structure and function of globular proteins The properties and functions of fibrous proteins The key inorganic ions involved in biological processes The chemical tests for proteins, reducing and non-reducing sugars, starch and lipids If you would like to sample the quality of the lessons included in this bundle, then download the following lessons as they have been uploaded for free: The use of microscopy The importance of the cytoskeleton Properties and roles of water Glucose & ribose General structure of an amino acid Dipeptides, polypeptides and protein structure
