- List the chemical elements and state the roles of carbohydrates, fats and protein in living organisms.
- Describe and carry out tests for starch (using iodine in potassium iodide solution), reducing sugars (using
Benedict’s solution), protein (using biuret solution) and fats (using ethanol). - State the synthesis of small basic molecules such as glucose, amino acid, fatty acids and glycerol to form large molecules.
- Using the ‘lock and key’ hypothesis to explain the role of enzymes in a biological reaction.
- Explain the effects of temperature and pH on the rate of enzyme catalysed reactions
- Understand the relationship between DNA, genes and chromosomes.
- Describe the formation of DNA as a double helix comprising two strands of nucleotides where each nucleotide has a sugar, a phosphate group and one of four different bases.
- Understand and apply the rule of complementary base pairing.
- State the fundamental property of gene.
- Understand the use of DNA to carry the genetic code, that is used to synthesise specific polypeptides.

What Our Students Say
Frequently Asked Questions
All lessons are physical classes as we conduct activities and experiments in class to give students a better understanding of each scientific concept.
A physical class also provides more personalised interaction between students and teachers allowing teachers to identify each student's learning needs quickly and use the most appropriate approach to guide them.
