The AQA Biology course is designed to inspire an enthusiasm for Biology; develop practical skills alongside understanding of concepts and principles; and build a foundation of knowledge and skills for studying Biology in higher education. It involves the study of eight key topic areas: biological molecules; cells; how organisms exchange substances with their environment; genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms; energy transfers in and between organisms; how organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments; genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems; and the control of gene expression.
