A2 Biology - Biotechnology overview (OCR A Chapters 22.4-8)

In this video, we'll explore the general outline of biotechnology, largely in 5 sections: Food production, medicine, bioremediation, culturing microorganisms and immobilised enzymes. You need to know these 5 sections in different levels of details. Some you only need to be aware of what they are and some examples; some you'll need to compare their pros and cons; some you'll need to explain in a bit more detail... It'll come clear in the video!

This is the second part to chapter 22 Cloning and biotechnology. Similarly to the cloning overview video, I will just explain the outline of the chapter to help you structure your revision and point out the areas to focus on.

Thank you for this video. It's so helpful that you have done OCR and not AQA. AQA seems to be the only exam board that is covered on youtube.

Hi, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all these videos, because of you I bumped up two grades from my year 12 to year 13 mock. With the advanced information, it states that biotechnology is the highest marked topic in paper 1 and it's on the list for paper 3. Please could you do an in detail video covering everything we need to know, before summer exams? I would really appreciate it! Tysm again

hi, do you mind doing videos for each topic within this chapter? thanks once again for your videos, they have greatly helped me

[kinojohn]

Thank you once again for posting your videos. I have a quick question: how do you achieve an A* in A level biology? No one from my school achieved an A* last year so I would be keen to find out. Also what are the main mistakes biology students make which prevent them from securing the top grade?

[danyandrew]

Any ideas on where to get past paper questions on specific topics or modules? The only ones I can find are on physics and maths tutor and are not that good. (:

Do we need to know the process of making Quorn?
