1 Cell Biology
1 Cell Structure
describe the features of bacterial (prokaryotic) cells
use the terms 'eukaryotic' and 'prokaryotic' to describe types of cells
state the structures found in animal and plant (eukaryotic) cells
describe the functions of the structures in animal and plant (eukaryotic) cells
describe what differentiation is, including differences between animals and plants
describe what a specialised cell is, including examples
define the terms magnification and resolution
compare electron and light microscopes in terms of their magnification and
resolution, including the consequences of these differences for studying cells
carry out calculations involving magnification, real size and image size using the
formula: magnification = size of image / size of real object
2 Cell Division
3 Cell Transport
describe how genetic information is stored in the nucleus of a cell
describe the processes that happen during the cell cycle, including an understanding
of mitosis
describe stem cells, including sources of stem cells in plants and animals and their role
in an organism
describe the use of stem cells in the production of plant clones and therapeutic
cloning
discuss the potential risks, benefits and issues associated with using stem cells in
medical research and treatments
describe the process of diffusion, including examples
explain how diffusion is affected by different factors
explain the term "surface area to volume ratio", and how this relates to single-celled
and multicellular organisms
explain how the effectiveness of an exchange surface can be increased, including
examples of exchange surface adaptations
describe the process of osmosis
describe the process of active transport, including examples
explain the differences between diffusion, osmosis and active transport
