Biology assessment is very language dependent. Paragraphs and short essays tend to be the required response in our external assessments.
The following steps could be useful in putting together a decent answer:

1. Read the Question
2. Define any key words (scientific terms)
3. Take a moment to sketch a quick concept map (related facts and processes) or T chart (comparison, similarities and differences)
4. Write an answer explaining at least four ideas or terms from you concept map or T chart using any examples given in the question.
5. Read the question once more. if you are happy with your answer move on.
