This folder comes with 10 lessons for each of the parts of the stimulus and response topic, including relevant exam practise and also required practical 10 alongside practical skills to do with IAA - from responses and reflexes to receptors and finally control of the heart rate.
The following parts of the spec are covered:
• Organisms increase their chance of survival by responding to changes in their environment. In flowering plants, specific growth factors move from growing regions to other tissues, where they regulate growth in response to directional stimuli.
• The effect of different concentrations of indoleacetic acid (IAA) on cell elongation in the roots and shoots of flowering plants as an explanation of gravitropism and phototropism in flowering plants.
• Taxes and kineses as simple responses that can maintain a mobile organism in a favourable environment.
• The protective effect of a simple reflex, exemplified by a three neurone simple reflex.
• AT h Students could design and carry out investigations into the effects of indoleacetic acid on root growth in seedlings.
• Required practical 10: Investigation into the effect of an environmental variable on the movement of an animal using either a choice chamber or a maze.
• The Pacinian corpuscle should be used as an example of a receptor to illustrate that:
• receptors respond only to specific stimuli
• stimulation of a receptor leads to the establishment of a generator potential.
• The basic structure of a Pacinian corpuscle.
• Deformation of stretch-mediated sodium ion channels in a Pacinian corpuscle leads to the establishment of a generator potential.
• The human retina in sufficient detail to show how differences in sensitivity to light, sensitivity to colour and visual acuity are explained by differences in the optical pigments of rods and cones and the connections rods and cones make in the optic nerve.
• Myogenic stimulation of the heart and transmission of a subsequent wave of electrical activity.
• The roles of the sinoatrial node (SAN), atrioventricular node (AVN) and Purkyne tissue in the bundle of His.
• The roles and locations of chemoreceptors and pressure receptors and the roles of the autonomic nervous system and effectors in controlling heart rate.
• AT h Students could design and carry out an investigation into the effect of a named variable on human pulse rate.
• MS 2.2 Students could use values of heart rate ® and stroke volume (V) to calculate cardiac output (CO), using the formula CO = R × V

Good resource but same drawback as previously mentioned, there are still quite a few exam questions without the mark schemes. Would it be possible to send me them by email if it was forgotten to be put in?

I am currently on lesson 5 and the powerpoints and activities have been well presented and well considered. The only drawback is the mark schemes are not included for all of the questions (some are), which makes it quite tricky to use them and be 100% sure you have covered off all of the criteria.
