Management of our environment (e. g. ecology, conservation, species invasions, pollutions) Describe and discuss the diversity of living organisms across the tree of life from both evolutionary and ecological perspectives: how structure in biology is inter-related with function. Recognise, describe, and compare the principal unique features of a wide range of organisms including bacteria, algae, fungi and plans in order to be able to identify and taxonomically classify these organisms.
