Classify meristems by position, origin and function, tell parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma apart, list the four elements of xylem and of phloem, and match each vascular bundle type to the plant it occurs in.
Unit 6 carries 3 of the 40 botany marks; with two chapters sharing them, this one averages one and a half (MEC publishes weights by unit, not by chapter). The MEC scope line: Concept, characters, classification, structure and functions of the different types of plant tissue; Types of vascular bundles. Three ways it is asked:

Mendelian ratios, mitosis vs meiosis, and DNA base-pairing rules in one page.
Carbohydrates, Lipids and Minerals: Sugars, Fats and What Soil Supplies
Sort sugars by size, linkage and reducing power, tell starch from cellulose from chitin, classify lipids and fatty acids, and match each plant mineral to its role and deficiency symptom.
Proteins and Enzymes: Folding, Catalysis and Inhibition
Build a protein from amino acids up to quaternary structure, classify proteins by shape and composition, name the enzyme classes, and predict how temperature, pH, substrate and inhibitors change the rate.
