Cambridge International AS & A Level Biology Coursebook 5th Edition Pdf Book Description:

This is the fifth edition of the Cambridge International AS & A Level Biology Coursebook, and it provides everything that you need to support your course for Cambridge AS & A Level Biology (9700). It provides full coverage of the syllabus for examinations from 2022 onwards. The chapters are arranged in the same sequence as the topics in the syllabus. Chapters 1 to P1 cover the AS material, and Chapters 12 to P2 cover the material needed for A Level. The various features that you will find in these chapters are explained on the next two pages. Many questions will test a deeper understanding of the facts and concepts that you will learn during your course. It is therefore not enough just to learn words and diagrams that you can repeat in your examinations; you need to ensure that you really understand each concept fully. Trying to answer the questions that you will find within each chapter, and at the end of each chapter, should help you to do this. Although you will study your biology as a series of different topics, it is very important to appreciate that all of these topics link up with each other. You need to make links between different areas of the syllabus to answer some questions.

For example, you might be asked a question that involves bringing together knowledge about protein synthesis, infectious disease and transport in mammals. In particular, you will find that certain key concepts come up again and again. As you work through your course, make sure that you keep reflecting on the work that you did earlier and how it relates to the current topic that you are studying. Some of the reflection questions at the ends of the chapters suggest particular links that you could think about. They also ask you to think about how you learn, which may help you to make the very best use of your time and abilities as your course progresses. You can also use the self-evaluation checklists at the end of each chapter to decide how well you have understood each topic in the syllabus, and whether or not you need to do more work on each one. Practical skills are an important part of your biology course. You will develop these skills as you do experiments and other practical work related to the topics you are studying. Chapters P1 (for AS Level) and P2 (for A Level) explain what these skills are and what you need to be able to do.
