UNIT 3 – SIGNATURES OF LIFEArea of Study 1 ~ Molecules of Life OUTCOME 1: Students should be able to analyse and evaluate evidence from practical investigations related to biochemical processes.
The chemical nature of the cell Synthesis of biomacromolecules including: Polysaccharides Nucleic acids Proteins
Structure & function of lipids Structure & function of DNA & RNA Structure & functional diversity of proteins The proteome
The role of organelles and plasma membranes in the packaging and transport of biomolecules
The nature of biochemical processes Enzymes Energy requirements of cells Anabolic & Catabolic reactions Energy transformations involved in:
Photosynthesis Cellular respiration
ATP-ADP cycle Factors affecting rate of energy transformations
Applications Molecular biology in medicine Drug design Medical Diagnosis
13
Area of Study 2 ~ Detecting & Responding OUTCOME 2: Students should be able to describe and explain coordination and regulation of an organism’s immune responses to antigens at the molecular level.
Coordination and regulation Stability and change in the internal environment Homeostasis Stimulus response model & Negative feedback model Roles of nervous and endocrine systems Signalling Molecules Neurotransmitters Hormones Pheromones Plant growth regulators Signal transduction & Membrane Receptors
Detecting self & non-self molecules Antigens & membrane receptors Pathogens Control of pathogens
Physical & chemical barriers to infection in plants and animals
Immune Response Structure & function of Lymphatic System Non-Specific Immunity
Inflammation Phagocytosis Blood clotting
Specific Immunity T-cell lymphocytes & cell mediated response B-cell lymphocytes & humoral response Antigens & antibodies Memory cells
Disorders of the immune response Autoimmunity Hypersensitivity & allergic responses
Acquired Immunity Natural Artificial immunity
Vaccines Antibody serums

UNIT 3 ASSESSMENT
15
UNIT 3 EXAMINATION Students will answer a series of questions relating to all Areas of Study in Unit 3.
The task is designed to assess students’ understanding of the key knowledge that underpins the outcomes in Unit 3 and the set of Key Skills. The duration of the exam will be 1½ hours. The exam will be marked by a panel appointed by the Board of Studies. ***The end-of-year exam contributes 33% to the final assessment. ***School assessed coursework for Unit 3 contributes 17% to the final assessment.
