Biologically important molecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, water and nucleic acids are studied with respect to their structure and function. The structure and mode of action of enzymes in catalysing biochemical reactions is studied as well as membranes within, and at the surface of, cells, and the division and subsequent specialisation of cells. Module 3 – Exchange and transport Learners study the structure and function of gas exchange and transport systems in animals and plants. The significance of surface area to volume ratio in determining the need for ventilation, gas exchange and transport systems in multicellular organisms is emphasised. Module 4 – Biodiversity, evolution and disease In this module learners study the biodiversity of organisms; how they are classified and the ways in which biodiversity can be measured. It serves as an introduction to ecology, emphasising practical techniques and an appreciation of the need to maintain biodiversity. The learners also study pathoge
