The Student and Tutor reviewed cellular organization, differentiating between unicellular, colonial, and multicellular organisms and their hierarchical structures. The session then moved to a detailed introduction to photosynthesis, discussing its stages (light-dependent and light-independent reactions), the organelles involved, and plant adaptations like CAM photosynthesis. For future study, the Student was advised to inquire about the next school topic, either cell division or organ systems, and to register on a Nelson website for practice worksheets.

The Tutor and Student reviewed plant transport systems, specifically focusing on xylem and phloem, their structures, and mechanisms of action. They discussed water absorption, transport via root pressure, cohesion, and adhesion, as well as nutrient translocation. The Student was asked to review relevant textbook sections and inquire about the next topic, animal transport systems, for the upcoming session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed plant transport systems, specifically focusing on the structure and function of xylem. They discussed the components of xylem and the mechanisms of water transport, including transpiration, cohesion, and adhesion. For follow-up, the Student was advised to review the book and prepare questions on xylem, with the next session planned to cover phloem and continue with photosynthesis.

The Student and Tutor reviewed a practice paper covering fundamental biology concepts including cell structure, function, osmosis, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, enzyme activity, and protein synthesis. They clarified misconceptions and refined explanations for various biological processes. For follow-up, the Student was assigned to review their notes on evolution and ecosystems and identify difficult questions from past exam papers for discussion in the next class.

The Student and Tutor practiced answering Biology exam questions using a specific claim-reason-explanation structure. They worked through examples covering topics such as cell organelles, enzyme function, active transport, microscopy, osmosis, and cell membrane components, with a focus on refining academic terminology. The Student is expected to obtain a sample worksheet from their teacher for the next session to continue practicing.

The Student and Tutor practiced calculations related to surface area to volume ratio and diffusion rates, understanding how cell size affects diffusion efficiency. They also thoroughly reviewed enzyme concepts, including the lock and key and induced fit models, factors affecting enzyme activity, and associated terminology. For follow-up, the Tutor will share worksheets on both topics, and the Student is expected to complete unfinished sections of their document.
