Topic 4: Plant structure and function, Biodiversity and Conservation (Edexcel Int. A-level Biology)

All of the 9 lessons that are included in this bundle are highly detailed and are fully-resourced. The lesson PowerPoints and their accompanying worksheets contain a wide range of tasks that will engage and motivate the students whilst covering the following specification points as set out in topic 4 of the Edexcel International A-level Biology specification:

• The structure and ultrastructure of plant cells
• The function of the organelles in plant cells
• The structure and function of starch and cellulose
• The similarities and differences between the structures, position and functions of sclerenchyma, xylem and phloem
• Understand that classification is a means of organising the variety of life based on relationships between organisms
• New taxonomic groupings
• The meaning of the terms biodiversity and endemism
• Know how biodiversity can be measured within a habitat and within a species
• Comparing biodiversity between habitats using the index of diversity
• The adaptations of organisms to their environment
• Use of the Hardy-Weinberg equation
• Changes in allele frequency are the result of mutation and natural selection
• Evaluate the methods used by zoos and seed banks in the conservation of endangered species and their genetic diversity
