Every IB Biology drawing you NEED to know

PLEASE READ!

This is every single drawing you need to know!

Looking through the 2016 syllabus, this video covers 2 main types of statements

- Draw
- Annotate
( + one additional shade statement of graphs and a skill statement of energy pyramids )

However, the following is not covered:

No calculations from images are demonstrated e.g. "Skill: Use of a light microscope to investigate the structure of cells and tissues, with drawing of cells.”

No identifying from drawings e.g. ” Skill: Interpretation of electron micrographs to identify organelles and deduce the function of specialized cells.”

No recognising from diagrams “Students should be able to recognize from molecular diagrams that triglycerides, phospholipids and steroids are lipids. “

Does not include question specific skills that show a lot of variability "Skill: Construction of dichotomous keys for use in identifying specimens.” or “Skill: Analysis of cladograms to deduce evolutionary relationships.”

Not that I don’t want to include these things, it’s that these things need a video to itself to be fully explained properly.

This video includes things you have to draw - not that you can draw optionally

Also Note: Annotate diagrams show a lot of variability - therefore use the annotate diagrams in the video to get an idea of the type of diagram that would show up in a test. The exam can use any diagram and tell you to annotate it (e.g. different angle, different style, different features) so it’s best to practice annotating from multiple sources (eg. study guide, textbook, bioninja, past papers)

I have gone through the syllabus a bad amount of times to make sure i hit every one of them, this video has taken me about 4 weeks. Hope it helps, I did the best I could!

Drawings I have missed (Pointed out by comments):

- Drawing of a palisade mesophyll cell (Thanks XstrioX)

6 years later and you're still saving IB kids! Love and respect man💞

Tomorrow is my very last IB exam (biology, I am SO scared but i love bio!!). After having written more than twelve IB exams I feel SO exhausted, I never thought studying could be so draining. But for anyone out there doing IB I just want to let you know that you are NOT alone, we understand how tired, helpless and worthless this program can make you feel. But stay strong because we are all in this together, you are NOT alone!! And even if you feel like you are the only one in class who don't understand the content (just like I felt), that is not true, so many around you are struggling too, they just won't share their weaknesses. So again, stay STRONG because time will pass faster than you can imagine and you will realize that you are capable of great things if you just believe in yourself :)

I am incredibly grateful for youtube channels like yours. Don't ever stop making great videos like this, because you are helping tons of people including me. Thumbs up :D

[briannabergman]

*sees title* *whispers to self* "the legend strikes again" ahhhh yes! Thank you so much! Imma be needing these!

[idroppedmycroissant]

currently watching this before the hl bio exams coming up and it has been SO helpful (been feeling very overwhelmed by the content), thank you sm for this!!!

[ee]

M22 gang wya? IB Like Cole out here saving lives and my ib grade frfr

Dunno if there is a video on this. But for future IB students I feel like it would be very helpful to compile important processes that one needs to know the steps off. Like transcription, replication, oogenisis, mitosis, water transport stuff like that. That would be a LONG video though. But I feel like even small descriptions would be incredibly helpful. Partly because i found myself struggeling through knowing all the processes and when reviewing I would find out that I completely glossed over one process.

[dhruvikhandelwal]

Thank you so much! This has really made a difference in my student life. I've watched you for a year now and I want to tell you that the motivation I felt through your videos pushed me from a level 3 to a very high 5 in biology! thank you xx

Got my schools G11 bio end of year exam in 8 hours (we did like 70% of dp bio) and this video is a lifesaver

[miataylor]

Loving the lo-fi beats I always listen to this kind of music when I study or do IA work. Helps me stay focused. Great video!

[bethanylong]

This is my first time commenting on a youtube video, but I had to because honestly you rock. Thank you so much.

[anishasrikar]

You are a lifesaver. I have my exams in about a week and this is exactly what I needed. Would you consider doing May 2018 IB Bio Predictions?

[TUB]

Not sure why this was on my recommended, but this takes me back and how useful these drawings were later on

[kaitlinlai]

Heart structure, arteries, veins, capillaries. great video! thank you!!! :)

[pabloglatzgutierrez]

Keep it up with the hard work dude, you're helping a lot of people.

[GyuriKim-ku]

omg this is so soo soooo soooo helpful I was really looking for a video that summarises all of the drawing. thank you so much

[sonamyangzom]

Biology exam in 3 days along with psychology HL exam! I don't know how I'm going to survive -.-

[raggamuffin]

OMG MY EXAM IS TMRW! Thank u much♥️♥️♥️

[dorimedic]

Thank you for your videos! I received a 7 from Biology HL thanks to you! 😊
