Biology Personal Statement

Throughout my studies, I have developed an intense interest in Biology. I am interested in the knowledge and understanding of biological processes occurring at cellular level, and thinking about answers to the unknown, for example the biological importance of sleep. I am also fascinated by genetics because it amazes me, how a single gene mutation will cause the entire amino acid sequence to change, which will cause a widespread impact on the organism, and change how they interact with the environment. My interest in Biology has motivated me, to read some "Biological Sciences Review" articles that have broadened my knowledge beyond the exam specification. In one of the articles, I have found out that hydrogen peroxide is released, when the lysosome

On Open Evening, I have performed a dissection by using the practical skills that I have obtained from studying Biology at A Level. This experience has helped me to strengthen my practical skills, as I was required to use the skills that I have already obtained, in addition to the knowledge I have learned, to carefully cut open the heart and lungs, to explain how they work. By explaining the function of the heart and lungs, I have cultivated suitable communication skills for each audience, and have enjoyed sharing passion for the subject. During this time, I had to use the right language to communicate with both adults and children of different ages, so that they understand the function of these organs. Furthermore, I have helped Year 7 students, appreciate science, by being in some of their science lessons. I did this, by trying to explain to them the concepts that they do not understand, so they can increase their scientific knowledge. At that time, I have used my communication skills, to split information into smaller amounts, to make it simpler to grasp. I think that this skill will be useful in situations, where I need to explain information, which is not easy to understand, such as answering questions during a student
