BIOLOGY 9700 A/AS LEVEL
SUBJECT CONTENT/ ISI MATAPELAJARAN
It will be assumed that examples to illustrate concepts and content will be drawn from a
wide range of organisms.
It is expected that practical activities will underpin the teaching of the whole syllabus.
Asterisks (*) placed alongside learning outcomes indicate areas of the syllabus that
present opportunities for practical work.
CORE SYLLABUS / SYLLABUS DASAR / INTI
The Core content to be studied by AS candidates, sections A to K, is shown in normal type.
The additional Core content to be studied by A Level candidates, sections L to U, is shown in
bold
type.
A CELL STRUCTURE
Content
The microscope in cell studies
Cells as the basic units of living organisms
Detailed structure of typical animal and plant cells, as seen under the electron
microscope
Outline functions of organelles in plant and animal cells
Characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
Learning Outcomes
Candidates should be able to:
(a) *use a graticule and stage micrometer to measure cells and be familiar with
units
(millimetre, micrometre, nanometre) used in cell studies;
(b) explain and distinguish between resolution and magnification, with reference
to light microscopy and electron microscopy;
(c) describe and interpret drawings and photographs of typical animal and plant cells, as
seen under the electron microscope, recognising the following membrane systems and
organelles
- rough and smooth endoplasmic reticula, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria,
ribosomes, lysosomes, chloroplasts, plasma/cell surface membrane, nuclear
envelope, centrioles,nucleus and nucleolus;
(d) outline the functions of the membrane systems and organelles listed in (c);
(e) *compare and contrast the structure of typical animal and plant cells;
(f) *draw plan diagrams of tissues (including a transverse section of a dicotyledonous
leaf) and calculate the linear magnification of drawings;
(g) describe the structure of a prokaryotic cell and compare and contrast the
structure of prokaryotic cells with eukaryotic cells;
(h) use the knowledge gained in this section in new situations or to solve related problems.
B BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
Content
The structure of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and their roles in living organisms
Water and living organisms
