GCSE/KS4 Biology: Enzymes

KS4 / GCSE Biology – Enzymes

✅  Learn or revise complicated concepts easily
✅  Information broken down into short chunks
✅  Full-colour illustrations on every page

Understanding how enzymes work is essential in order to understand biology at GCSE. This revision pack makes learning the core information quick and simple.

Broken down into bite sized chunks, this Enzymes GCSE revision guide will help students understand (and remember!) the key facts about enzymes: how they work, why they are important and how they can be damaged.

Each numbered section is clearly laid out and illustrated to aid understanding, making it more accessible to all students, irrespective of their reading ability, with beautiful images to highlight each key point.

Written by Stuart Lawes, former Head of Science and a science tutor for CE, GCSE and ‘A’ level students for over 20 years, the Enzymes revision pack brings GCSE revision to life in a visual and highly memorable way, identifying tricky concepts and translating them into easy to understand sections.
