Tissues, organs and organ systems
Short recall cards build the wording needed for Biology answers.
AQA GCSE Biology Organisation flashcards
Revise AQA GCSE Biology organisation with 42 focused cards on tissues, organs, organ systems, exchange surfaces and transport. Use this pack after cell structure and cell division so the jump from individual cells to whole-body systems feels logical. Start a short study session without an account, then save progress when you are ready.

Example cards from this pack
Define tissue in biology.
Answer: A group of cells with the same structure and function that work together.
Why it matters: Tissues are made up of cells that are specialised for a particular function.
Memory tip: Tissue is a team of similar cells doing the same job.
Define organ in biology.
Answer: A structure made of two or more tissues working together to perform a specific function.
Why it matters: For example, the heart is an organ made of muscle tissue, connective tissue, and nervous tissue.
Memory tip: An organ combines different tissues for one main function.
What is the function of the circulatory system?
Answer: To transport oxygen, nutrients, and other substances around the body, and to remove waste products.
Why it matters: The heart pumps blood through vessels to deliver useful substances to cells and remove wastes.
Memory tip: Circulation is the body transport network: deliver useful substances, remove wastes.
Where this fits
- Use it after cell structure so specialised cells and organelles already feel familiar.
- Pair it with cell division when questions move from growth to tissues, organs and systems.
- Come back to it before infection and response so transport, exchange and body systems are easier to apply.
