IB skill practice

Evaluate biological investigation validity and uncertainty

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Identify variables and control

An enzyme investigation in a conservation evidence lesson changes pH and measures reaction rate, but temperature varies between trials. Identify the validity issue. Use the labelled diagram, data, or experimental evidence before writing the answer. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that best matches the HL Biology evidence.

Worked practice: biological evidence and answer

Use the labelled biological evidence first, then connect it to the final answer.
