What is an easy way to pick up marks in the biology GCSE?

Biology GCSE like any other requires a basic level of understanding, but in addition it requires you to use scientific terminology. By using specific words or descriptions in your answers you make it easier for the examiner to give you marks. It is really worth creating a vocabulary for your topics in order to pick up these easy marks that you can otherwise miss even if you understand the concept.
