Flashcards for Eduqas A-Level Biology (A400), split by the core concepts, Component 1 Energy for life, Component 2 Continuity of life and Component 3 Requirements for life, then by topic in the specification's order. Each Component 3 option has its own subdeck: delete or suspend the ones your course leaves out once the deck is yours.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • How does natural skin flora protect the body?
    It competes with pathogens for space and nutrients
  • Why do larger animals need a circulatory system?
    Diffusion is too slow over long distances, and their surface area to volume ratio is small
  • Which inorganic ion is a component of chlorophyll?
    Mg2+\mathrm{Mg^{2+}} (magnesium)
  • What is the general name for the smallest carbohydrate units?
    Monosaccharides
  • What is a bacteriostatic antibiotic?
    One that stops bacteria growing and dividing
  • What are the three phases of interphase?
    G1, S (DNA synthesis) and G2
  • What three components make up a nucleotide?
    A pentose sugar, a phosphate group and an organic base
  • Why are decomposers important in nutrient cycles?
    They break down dead organisms and waste, returning nutrients to the soil
  • In DNA replication, [...] unwinds the double helix and DNA polymerase joins the new nucleotides.
    In DNA replication, helicase unwinds the double helix and DNA polymerase joins the new nucleotides.
  • What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
    6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O26\mathrm{CO_2} + 6\mathrm{H_2O} \rightarrow \mathrm{C_6H_{12}O_6} + 6\mathrm{O_2}
