How to Study Well in VCE

Answers to the questions every VCE student asks: How should I study? How often? When?

Introduction to eukaryotic cell components

How is it that such a small unit is able to build, organise and export such complex proteins?

Movement across a membrane

The structure and function of the plasma membrane - and how they are related to each other.

Protein structure and function

How do we build a functioning protein from amino acids?

Nucleic acids: an introduction for high school students

Introduction to the structure and function of the molecules of life: DNA, mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA

How to make a protein from DNA

Transcription, translation, and everything in between

Mutations and the Genetic Code

Let's learn how to define all those fancy genetic code words VCAA loves (redundant, degenerant, universal ...)

Regulating Gene Expression

What is the structure of a gene? How does this relate to gene activity?

Photosynthesis

Let's focus on what you actually need to know on everyone's favourite VCE Biology topic (sarcasm btw)

Genetic diversity and gene pools

Why is genetic diversity important? How do important factors in evolution (genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, natural selection) impact genetic diversity?
