  2. “Define” – write a sentence saying what the word means, give an example or draw a diagram if it helpsE.g. “Define Cell” – a cell is the smallest unit of life e.g. a blood cell “Function” – say what the job of the object isE.g. “Give one function of the kidneys” – The kidneys get rid of waste urea from our bodies

  3. “State” – give the word/phrase asked for, nothing elseE.g. “State the function of a chloroplast” – Photosynthesis “Explain” – tell in your own words how something happenedE.g. “Explain how you varied pH in the enzyme experiment” – A different pH buffer was added to each graduated cylinder.

  4. “List”/ “Give” – write the words under one anotherE.g. “List/Give the products of photosynthesis” – glucoseoxygen “Name” – just write the word nothing elseE.g. ”Name one cell organelle that contains dna “ – nucleus

  5. “Outline”/ “write a short note” – write the main points in a listusing diagrams with it if you canE.g. “Outline the stages in Nutrition” –Ingestion: taking in of food into the mouthDigestion: the breaking down of food into smaller piecesAbsorption: the movement of digested food into the bloodstreamAssimilation: the taking of digested food particles into body cells Egestion: the getting rid of undigested food out of the body

  9. “Distinguish between” – write a sentence for each making sure you show the difference between the two wordsE.g. “Distinguish between excretion and egestion” – Excretion is the removal of waste products of metabolismEgestion is the removal of undigested food from the organism

  10. “Why” – explain the reason behind the word or processE.g. “Why is photosynthesis an anabolic process” – because it takes small molecules and makes them into larger ones using energy in the process

  11. “Draw a labelled diagram ” – in pencil draw a diagram, name the parts by using lines to connect(touch) the parts and the name. Do not use arrows.E.g. “Draw a labelled diagram of an enzyme and its corresponding substrate” – SUBSTRATE ENZYME
