Matura Biology study plan

Map the full Biologia syllabus into a one-page checklist of every assessed unit, marking each as strong, shaky, or unknown.

Build a working glossary of 60 core terms (organelle, enzyme, homeostasis, allele, trophic level) with a one-line definition in your own words.

Label a blank diagram of the eukaryotic cell and the human digestive tract from memory, then correct it against a reference.

Explain in writing how the four macromolecule classes (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids) relate structure to function.

Describe the stages of mitosis and meiosis and state the chromosome number at each stage.

Compare DNA replication, transcription, and translation by substrate, enzyme, and product.

Solve monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, including sex-linked and codominant cases, showing full working.

Distinguish diffusion, osmosis, active transport, and endocytosis with a named biological example of each.

Trace the path of blood through the heart and lungs, naming valves and vessel types in order.

Relate the structure of alveoli, villi, and nephrons to their exchange functions.

Explain nervous and hormonal control of one homeostatic variable (blood glucose or body temperature) step by step.

Interpret a simple feedback loop diagram and predict the effect of removing one component.

Classify organisms using the five-kingdom and three-domain schemes and justify the differences.

Explain natural selection as a four-step mechanism and apply it to one named example (antibiotic resistance or peppered moth).

Describe energy flow and nutrient cycling through a food web, including the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers.

Answer 30 mixed multiple-choice items under timed conditions and log every wrong answer with its cause.

Describe photosynthesis and aerobic respiration by location, inputs, outputs, and net ATP yield.

Explain how enzymes are affected by temperature, pH, and substrate concentration, predicting graph shapes.

Outline the carbon and nitrogen cycles and identify one human impact on each.

Practise three data-interpretation questions on graphs or tables and write conclusions in exam phrasing.

Explain the structure of DNA and the evidence that it carries hereditary information.

Describe how mutations arise and classify their effects on protein structure and phenotype.

Outline genetic engineering and one application, stating the ethical considerations in balanced terms.

Summarise the main human body systems and their interactions in a single revision table.

Complete a full-length timed past-paper or mock under exam conditions without notes.

Mark the paper strictly and tag every lost mark to a syllabus unit.

Rewrite the three weakest answers in full, using correct terminology and structure.

Drill 40 recall flashcards on definitions and processes until each is answered in under five seconds.

Re-test only the units flagged as weakest in week 7 and confirm improvement with a short quiz.

Rehearse extended-response structure: define, explain, give example, conclude.

Review the glossary and error log one final time, retiring items you now answer correctly.

Plan exam-day logistics: timing per section, order of answering, and a checklist of what to bring.
