Biology 3.4 Describe animal behaviour and plant responses in relation to environmental factors
Key tips
- Understand the difference between a biological concept and a biological process.
- When answering questions (resource-based questions especially), make sure your answers are specific rather than general. Refer to information given in the questions and justify your comments.
- Resource-based questions often require interpretation of data. Practice these types of questions, for example, ask if your teacher can get you a copy of Bursary 1998 Section 1 Question 4 about starlings.
- The language for this subject is specific so you must learn the relevant terms and definitions. Refer to the glossary in your text book or provided by your teacher.
- Beware of anthropomorphism – giving organisms human qualities. Don’t say "the plants think that ..." because plants do not think.
