Most animals and plants consist of different types of cells organised as tissues, organs and systems. The human respiratory system is a body system adapted for efficient gas exchange.

The major nutrients required for a healthy diet are carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. The digestive system breaks down large molecules of food, which are then absorbed into the bloodstream.

Multicellular organisms require transport systems to supply their cells and remove waste products. In humans, one of the functions of the circulatory system is to transport substances.

Plant cells, tissues and organs are adapted to their functions. The stem, root and leaves form an organ system that transports substances into, around and out of a plant.

Health is the state of physical and mental well-being. Factors work together and affect physical and mental health. A disease is a disorder that affects an organism's body, organs, tissues or cells.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
