CORE PRACTICAL 10: Investigate the effects of light intensity, light wavelength, temperature
and availability of carbon dioxide on the rate of photosynthesis using a suitable aquatic plant.
CORE PRACTICAL 11: Carry out a study of the ecology of a habitat, such as using quadrats and
transects to determine the distribution and abundance of organisms, and measuring abiotic
factors appropriate to the habitat.
CORE PRACTICAL 13: Investigate the rate of growth of microorganisms in a liquid culture,
taking into account the safe and ethical use of organisms.
CORE PRACTICAL 15: Use an artificial hydrogen carrier (redox indicator) to investigate
respiration in yeast.
CORE PRACTICAL 16: Use a simple respirometer to determine the rate of respiration and RQ
of a suitable material (such as germinating seeds or small invertebrates).
