A2 Biology-Central Concepts Revision Notes

Somebody asked me to source these for them the other day and I thought I'd just post the links for everyone's benefit. These notes aren't mine but everyone is free to use them, hope they help :yep:

Energy and Respiration: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/541_Energy_and_Respiration.pdf

Photosynthesis: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/542_Photosynthesis.pdf

Populations and Interactions: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/543_Populations_and_Interactions.pdf

Meiosis Genetics and Gene Control: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/544_Meiosis_Genetics_and_Gene_Control.pdf

Classification Selection and Evolution: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/545_Classification_Selection_and_Evolution.pdf

Control Coordination and Homeostasis: http://www.nicksnowden.net/Other_pages/546_Control_Coordination_and_Homeostasis.pdf

Hope the help and happy revision! :grin:

P.s. If anyone knows how to make the link to the page but with a different name, I would like to know how to do that. i.e. "Here" where you click on it and it takes you to the web page.

No problem, hope they help; I find them useful as small reminder sheets once I have done my main revision.

Honestly all you need to do is read through your book a few times so that you are comfortable with everything in it. Once you have done that just start doing the past papers, but learn the mark scheme answers. You will be suprised at how similar the questions are and how standard the answers in markschemes are.

Once you have done all the past papers and pretty much learnt the standard answers then you will be ready, so far its working for me as im on for AAA.

Best of luck!
