Chapter 5 From cell to multicellular organism


Pages 130–157

These revision notes are designed to help you practice your knowledge and understanding of key concepts from Units 1 and 2 of Biology. The key ideas show key learning
points for each topic in this chapter. Once you have reviewed this section you can use the ‘I can …’ statements to assess your understanding and rate yourself by ticking the
appropriate box in the ‘rating’ column.

You can use the following table to help you rate your ability for each dot point.
If you answer … This means you are …

All of the time … able to provide a clear example in the ‘what I know’ column that supports your understanding.
Some of the time … able to provide a basic summary in the ‘what I know’ column and write questions for further revision in the ‘what I need to
revise further’ column.
None of the time … unsure of how to approach this dot point and can write further questions in the ‘what I need to revise further’ column.

Be honest in assessing how well you understand each of the statements. You can always use the ‘what I know’ and the ‘what I need to revise further’ columns to collect
any other information that will help you recall and understand what you have studied in this chapter.
