These A-Level Biology (Edexcel A) flashcards cover every topic in the specification using past paper questions, with the official mark scheme answers on the reverse to help you check your answers and learn the examiner's language. They're ideal for active recall, improving exam technique, and boosting recall. Your purchase includes the PDF version for instant download. I also have an Anki version, but due to platform restrictions I can't upload it. My email address is included—just email me after purchase, and I'll send you the Anki file. ('s a zero next to Chase, btw.)

Compare and contrast the

human. (4) nerve cells to die. (3) protein to form a
lipoprotein.
-both have a double -increased risk of damage to Explain the effect that large
circulatory system cardiovascular system e.g. quantities of this lipoprotein
-both have 2 atria, arteries, atheromas in arteries would have on blood
veins, capillaries -reduced blood flow to cholesterol levels. (4)
peripheral nerce so less
-snake heart only has 1 oxygen and glucose supplied -it would increase blood
ventricle whereas human -so nerve cells do not get cholesterol
heart has 2 enough oxygen and glucose -as the triglyceride is
-in snake the oxygenated and for respiration and so die saturated
deoxygenated blood mix -so the lipoprotein is an LDL
(hole in septum), whereas -LDL transport cholesterol
they do not mix in a human -they bind to receptors on
(no hole in septum) the cell membrane




Some flying insects store
trehalose and glycogen in
their wing muscles.
Trehalose is broken down to
glucose by the enzyme
trehalase.
