Biology Edexcel Unit 2 WBI 12/01
Introduction to Biology for Grade 11 IGCSE Students
Welcome to your Grade 11 Biology IGCSE course! This year, we’ll explore the fascinating world of life sciences, diving into key concepts that are foundational to our understanding of biology.
We'll begin with the **Cell Cycle**, focusing on processes like mitosis and meiosis that are crucial for growth and reproduction. You'll learn about **cell differentiation** and its importance in forming various tissues in multicellular organisms.
Next, we’ll investigate **gametes** in animals and plants, describing how they contribute to genetic diversity and the continuation of species. We’ll also cover the **structure of the cell**, examining its components and functions.
Practical investigations will enhance your understanding, including experiments on cellular division and enzyme activity, alongside studies involving plant cells. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid grasp of biological principles that will prepare you for your exams and beyond. Let's embark on this exciting journey into the world of biology!

Grade 11 – Unit 2: Biology at the Molecular and Cellular Level
By the end of Unit 2, students will understand the structure and function of biological molecules, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. They will explain enzyme action and factors affecting enzyme activity, describe cell membrane structure and transport mechanisms, and understand how cells obtain and use energy. Students will be able to apply molecular and cellular concepts to explain biological processes.
