Tissues
 4 types
 Viewing & drawing
 Predicting the function.
Students need to differentiate between the 4 different tissue types via
their structure & function. Students also need to be able to explain how
the structure of the tissue allows the function to occur.
- Epithelial (covers & lines external surfaces, internal organs &
body cavities)
- Nervous (receives & transmits messaged around the body,
detail not needed here as covered in unit 3).
- Connective (Binds & supports other tissues in the body such as,
adipose, cartilage, bone, tendons/ligaments & blood)
- Muscular (brings about movement; skeletal, cardiac, smooth).
Activity 1: Students view and draw pre-prepared unknown tissue slides.
Students then identify characteristics in the tissues’ structure and
predict how the structure enables the tissue to function in a specific
way.
Activity 2: Cover the content (as above). Can be done via a
research/jigsaw activity, PowerPoint etc.
Activity 3: Using images/micrographs (links provided), students identify
the tissue type and justify their choice.

Metabolism
 Anabolic and catabolic reactions
 Enzyme function – Activation energy, factors affecting activity.
Activity 1: Students define metabolism as the chemical reactions that
occur in a living organism/cell.
Activity 2: Students differentiate between anabolic/catabolic reactions.
Where anabolic reactions use energy to build smaller substances into
larger substances eg protein synthesis and catabolic reactions release
energy by breaking down large molecules into smaller ones eg cell
respiration. Students must provide examples of common catabolic and
anabolic reactions.
Activity 3: Read and complete the enzyme lock and key worksheet.
Students must be able to explain how an enzyme works by binding to a
specific substrate at an active site.

Activity 4: Give students some graphical data to interpret the activity of
enzymes in various temps/pH. Students analyse the graph and explain
the activity of the enzyme. Students should also be able to explain how
temperature, concentration, & pH affect the active site, therefore
affecting its activity.

Metabolism
 Biochemistry – nutrients needed for metabolism
 Cellular respiration (aerobic and anaerobic)
 Inputs/outputs/organelles involved.
 ATP/ADP & cellular uses of energy
Activity 1: Students compare the following nutrients required for
metabolism.
 Carbohydrates
 Proteins
 Lipids
 Vitamins
 Minerals
Activity 2: students define and explain cellular respiration is the
chemical reaction that makes energy available for the cell by releasing
energy in the form ATP. Students must to recall the respiration
equation (Glucose + oxygen  Carbon dioxide + water + energy).
Activity 3: Energy in the form of ATP/ADP.
Students must be able to explain that when cells needs energy, it
receives it from ATP. Students should also be able to explain that
ADP+P  ATP. Students draw a diagram to help explain this.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbtqF9q_pFw
Activity 4: Students differentiate between aerobic & anaerobic
respiration.
Aerobic respiration – requires oxygen to breakdown glucose to form
CO2, H2O and energy. One molecule of glucose creates 38 ATP.
Students draw the mitochondrion and explain why this is the site of
cellular respiration.
Students create a flow diagram to illustrate that aerobic respiration
consists of 2 steps (simplified).
