Biology HL

Form and function

IB Biology organizing theme: structure-function relationships from molecules to ecosystems.

Analyse cell compartmentalisation and organelle specialization Model membrane dynamics and transport energetics Analyse enzyme kinetics and inhibition Use microscopy, scale, and image data quantitatively Analyse respiration pathways and energy yield Analyse photosynthesis pathways and productivity Explain plant transport, growth, and response Explain animal physiology and organ-system integration Analyse homeostatic control systems Find the rate of oxygen production from a graph Read two points off an oxygen-produced vs time graph and find the rate of photosynthesis as oxygen over time (the gradient). Find the rate of transpiration from a graph Read two points off a water-lost vs time graph and find the transpiration rate as water lost over time (the gradient).
