Revision List for Year 10 Biology Exam You have four sections of work to revise;

Evolution Cells (CELLS) Bioenergetics (BIEN) How organisms are organised (HOAO)

Evolution was completed in year 9, you should have a separate revision booklet for it. The other three topics have been completed this year. This list gives you the key words and key concepts you need to know. Each topic is divided into Key words - you need to know the meanings of these, and Key concepts - you need to understand these. In addition, you should complete the exam questions that are on GoogleClassroom and in the Shared Area.
