Explain

In AQA GCSE Biology, Explain means give a linked reason, mechanism, or cause-and-effect account rather than naming a fact. For Principles of organisation, use Explain to support the objective to explain that cells are the basic building blocks of living organisms. Related approved keywords for this objective include cells. This definition is deliberately scoped to Principles of organisation, so it preserves this concept without merging it with neighbouring key terms.
