What is your target grade? Use the grade ladder to help you reach it:

To get You should have:

grade
1 Showed precise knowledge of respiration and detailed understanding of
how body systems are linked.
Explained in detail how the reactants get to the cell and what happens to
the products including diagrams to explain diffusion.

including the role of ATP [H].
Explained what causes and the effects of anaerobic respiration.
Used a word equation and balanced symbol equation to describe aerobic
respiration.
Compared aerobic and anaerobic respiration.
Used the key words appropriately and consistently.
3 Showed secure knowledge of respiration and understanding of the body
systems involved in the process.
