Identify the three types of neurones; sensory, relay and motor. 14. Understand that receptors in the skin, eyes, ears etc detect sensory input/stimuli. 15. State that electrical impulses move along neurones. 16. Know that a synapse is a tiny space between the ending of 1 neurone and the sensory fibre of the next. 16. Understand that a synapse allows chemicals to transfer from 1 neurone to another. 17. Know that a response to a motor neurone in a muscle (a contraction) may be rapid. 18. Know that the secretion of a hormone from a gland is a much slower response that that of a muscle cell contracting. b) Neurons and reflex arc 19. Know that the nervous system is made up of nerve cells called neurons. 20. Know that a neurone is made up of a cell body attached to nerve fibres. 23. Identify a diagram of a reflex arc. 24. Describe how a reflex arc works: (i) Stimulus is detected by the nerve endings in the receptor (e.g. skin), and converted to an electrical impulse. (ii) The electrical impulse is carried towards the cell body of a neuron by a sensory fibre. (iii) In the grey matter of the spinal cord, the impulse crosses the 1st synapse. (iv) The electrical impulse passes through a relay neuron and then across a 2nd synapse. (v) The nerve impulse is then picked up by the motor neuron and quickly conducted to the axon endings. (vi) A chemical is released which brings about muscular contraction. 21. Know that a reflex action is a rapid 25. Know that transmission of a nerve impulse involuntary response. through a reflex arc, results in a reflex action. 22. Understand that a reflex action has a protective function. c) Hormonal control 26. State that hormones are chemical messengers. 27.

Understand that only some tissues are affected by each hormone. d) Control of blood sugar levels 30. Know that insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. 31. Understand that insulin converts excess glucose into glycogen. 32. Know that glycogen is stored in the liver. 33. State that the conversion of glucose to glycogen lowers blood glucose levels. 34. State that glucagon is a second hormone secreted by the pancreas. 35. Know that glucagon converts glycogen to glucose. 36. Understand that the action of glucagon increases the blood glucose level. 37. Understand the relationship between insulin and glucagon in maintaining a steady blood sugar level. 4. Reproduction 1. Understand that cells which have 2 matching sets of chromosomes are referred to a diploid. 2. Know that normal body cells are diploid. 3. Understand that cells with a single set of chromosomes are referred to as haploid. 4. Know that gamete is the collective term for sex cells. 10.

Know that fertilisation results in the found in the ovary. production of a diploid zygote. 5. Variation and inheritance 6. Know that a characteristic can be described as continuous variation when it varies amongst the 1. Know that variation of characteristics population in a smooth continuous way from one exists within a population. extreme to the other, without falling into distinct 2. Understand that the fusion of groups. gametes from separate parents increases 7. Understand that results of a study on variation variation in a population. of a continuous characteristic would be presented 3. Know that a characteristic can be as a line graph. described as showing discrete variation 8. Give examples of continuous variation. Such as: if members of a population can be divided a persons’ height or hand span over time in humans, into 2 or more separate groups. body length in trout or mass of fruit in apple 4. State that data gathered from a trees. survey of discreet variation would be 9. Know that a gene is a section of a chromosome presented as a bar graph. which codes for 1 characteristic. 5. Give examples of discreet variation. 10. Understand that an allele is the different Such as: hair type in humans, eye colour versions of a gene which are available. in fruit fly, flower colour in plants. 11. State that the term phenotype refers to an organisms’ physical appearance in relation to any given characteristic. 12. Understand that if an individual possesses 2 identical alleles for 1 characteristic they are said to be homozygous or true breeding. 13. Know that if an individual possesses 2 alleles for a characteristic which are not identical to each other, they are said to be heterozygous. 14. Understand the symbols used when doing a genetic cross, P1 is the parental generation, st F1 is the 1 generation of offspring, F2 is the 2 nd generation of offspring. 15. Know that if an allele always presents itself in the phenotype when present, it is said to be dominant. 16. Understand that some alleles will be masked by other versions of the gene, and the version of the characteristic they code for will skip generations, in this case the allele is said to be recessive. 17. Know that when doing genetic crosses each allele is assigned a letter. 18. Understand that the 1st letter of the dominant characteristic is normally used (For example if red was the dominant flower colour and white the recessive, the letter “r” would be used to represent each allele in a genetic cross). 19. Know that the upper case letter is always used for the dominant characteristic (R = red) and the lower case for the recessive characteristic (r = white). 20. Understand that as each body cell has 2 allele’s for each gene, the genotype is represented by 2 letters per gene. 21. Understand that as a gamete has half the genetic content of a normal body cell, it will only have 1 allele for the gene and is therefore represented by only 1 letter. 22. Know that most characteristics are coded for by more than one gene, and are said to be polygenic. 23. Know that most features of an individual phenotype are polygenic and show continuous variation. 24. Carry out a monohybrid cross from parents through to F2 generation. 25. Know that if a homozygous dominant parent is crossed with a homozygous recessive, all of the F1 will be heterozygous, and the resulting F2 should give a 3:1 ratio of dominant:recessive characteristics. 26. Understand that expected ratios in a genetic cross are not always achieved, as fertilisation is a random process, or the sample size may be too small. 6. The need for transport a) Plant transport systems 1. Understand that a plant needs water for both photosynthesis and to transport materials around the plant. 2. Identify the structures involved in transporting materials around a plant (xylem and phloem) in a diagram. 3. State that water and mineral salts are carried from the roots to the leaves in xylem vessels. 6. Know that transpiration is the evaporation of water from the aerial parts of a plant. 7. Understand that transpiration occurs through tiny pores in the leaves called stomata. 8. Know that the opening and closing of the stomata is controlled by guard cells. 9. Know that guard cells are sausage shaped and contain chloroplasts. 10. Understand that the inner walls of the guard cells are thicker and less elastic than the outer walls which allow the 2 inner walls to be pulled apart when the guard cells become turgid. 11.

Know that blood leaves the heart in arteries, flows through capillaries and returns in veins. (vii) The aorta takes the blood to respiring body tissues to drop off oxygen and once again become deoxygenated. 23. Know that an artery has a thick muscular wall to withstand the high pressure of oxygenated blood coming from the heart. 24. Know that the wall of the vein is thinner than the heart, so it has valves to prevent backflow of blood and its function is to carry blood towards the heart. 25. Understand that as an artery moves 31.

Know that capillaries form a large surface area to allow efficient gas exchange. 27. Describe the features of the capillaries which make it suited to gas exchange: (i) Thin walls – only 1 cell thick (to allow rapid diffusion). (ii) Present large surface area – allows them to be in close contact with the living cells in tissues and organs. 32. Describe the specialisation of red blood cells: (i) Biconcave in shape to increase surface area. (ii) No nucleus to increase surface area (which also means they contain no genetic material).
