Unlock all chapters Ch 7 · Metabolism
Practical-heavy: PBA covers enzyme rates, food tests, pH indicators, photosynthesis and respiration. Ranks 1st on marks off only 8 SLOs, so marks per SLO run high. Lab work scores no theory marks.
Ch 8 · Plant Physiology
Practical-heavy: PBA covers diffusion, osmosis, transpiration, mineral ions and tropic responses. Most SLOs of any chapter (14) but 2nd on marks. Weight by both columns, never marks alone.
Ch 3 · Cell
Practical-heavy: PBA covers microscope use on biological specimens and calculating magnification. These are bench skills, not recall, so they need lab time the theory marks do not signal.
