Achievement with merit
Demonstrate in-depth understanding of the responses of plants and animals to their external environment.
This involves using biological ideas to explain:
- how the responses occur
- why the responses provide an adaptive advantage for the organism in relation to its ecological niche.
Achievement with excellence
