2.1.4 Enzymes OCR A level Biology (approx 16 lessons)

(2)
Made for the OCR A level Biology course including some hand drawn diagrams, custom animations using morph transitions. There are specification links scattered throughout. PAG instructions taken from the OCR website for the practical lessons PAG group 4 - please note you do not have to complete all of these. I like to do two of them during this topic My resources are kept within one long power point, split into sections for lessons. This is to allow for flexibility in teaching but also means you can flip back and forth to link parts of the topic together with ease during the lessons - 2.1.4 is 175 slides! Includes a 48 page handout that can be printed as a booklet with diagrams, questions, glossary and a few spare pages to allow for flexibility 1a The role of enzymes 1b Mechanisms of enzyme action 2. Factors affecting enzyme activity pH, Temperature and Q10 3. Factors affecting enzyme activity enzyme and substrate concentration 4a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.1 key skills serial dilution and standard deviation 5a+b Enzyme investigation PAG 4.2 key skills serial dilution 6a,b+c Enzyme investigation PAG 4.3 key skills planning 7 PAG style questions 8. Coenzymes, cofactors and prosthetic groups 9. The effects of inhibitors 10. the effect of drugs and poisons 11. Revision - exam questions and podcast activity I huge amount of work has gone into my resources with some hand drawn and custom animations. Your feedback is really valued.
