A level biology?

Question

I am doing a level biology, doing cells and structure at the moment, any advice for revision and remembering cell, structure and function?

Answer 1

keep drawing the cell and remembering how many strucures are in it and try and write two lines about each cell structures function then cross reference if you forgot anyhting write out a short paragraph about that structure and draw it five times. Start with nucleus, then nucleolus and go from there. It sounds complicated but it doesn't take that long and i still remember mine from 8 years ago

Answer 2

hi, just finished A level biology, it was great, more importantly revision techniques, basically study a single diagramatical representation of a complex cell, and when studying other structures stick to one diagram, by studying one single image it will enable you to recall the image and the labels and information far easier. other than that its just about reading it, covering it and repeating it word for word, i know it sounds pedantic, but when you can do that, your recall during the exam will be better plus you know that you will not have forgotten anything. and make sure you do learn your cell structures perfectly, it comes up at A2 as well and knowing the basics will save you alot of work! i wont lie to you i think biology is one of the hardest sciences, i did physics and maths and i think biology was actually harder, but alot of it is knowing whats in the book. the most important thing is being able to remember it well enough to answer the real questions, regurgitation will only get you so far you need to be able to think about the question they are asking you in the exam and not end up using all your grey matter trying to remember something you wrote down a month ago. Oh and it gets worse the first biology test is the easiest, it just gets harder, but dont be disheartened its a really good course and its not easy like namby pamby media studies :),

Answer 3

There are 2 types of cells: Eukaryotic and Prokaryotic. Cells transport nutrients and waste in and out of the body. Cells have a cell wall, organelles, and a cell membrane.
That just about sums it up. If you want full details, read your Biology book on Cell Structure.

Answer 4

Try photocopying diagrams of the cell with the labels covered and relabelling them yourself some time later. You can also try writing annotations to them about their function and mechanisms. Write as much as you can remember without looking at your notes then look at your notes for any further information. You should remember a bit more each time.

Good luck

Answer 5

Go to GCSE Bitesize for revision of past work:

Then check out the AS Guru at:

All the best!!!

Answer 6

write them down while you reading them loud !!! do it again and agian if you need to ... the names are very easy to remember as they all follow a specfic pattern. and belive me this is the easiest in biology. a-level is biology made easy !!!!

Answer 7

plug 'em into your super clever calculator- in code for an exam. i got a D in a-level maths doing it like that- and i'm proud, shouldn't have passed, didnt go to any classes--- hehehehe
