These notes are near and concise, and aim to go into detail beyond what a regular A level revision textbook does. The notes have helped me consistently achieve As and A*s in tests. They contain revision checklists for the modules, so it's easy to keep on track with what topics you need to revise. They also contain example mark schemes to help students notice exactly what key words/ phrases are essential in examination answers to enable you to achieve the most marks possible. They also have accurately labelled diagrams through, and even microscopy pictures which I found helped me to not only learn the content but be able to visualise it to. Lots of exam papers will use diagrams in their questions so its extremely important to be familiar with multiple different ones! Hope you find these as useful as I did if you decide to download & good luck in your exams :)

The membrane on

the cell wall in plant cells and prokaryotic cells .
It is made of mainly
lipids ( phospholipid bilayer ) and protein It regulates
.
the movement of

substances into and out of a cell .
It also has receptor molecules on it ,
which allow it to respond to chemical changes like hormones .




Cellwall

cytoplasm

A rigid structure that surrounds plant cells Its made
.

mainly of
the carbohydrate cellulose to support and provide strength to plant
cells . / More specifically prevents cells
bursting when they become turgid !




nvcbeog
A large organelle surrounded by a double membrane ( nuclear envelope )
which has It contains chromatin which Is made from
many pores .




DNA and proteins .




It controls the cells activity by controlling the transcription of DNA

The nuclear envelope allows substances to leave and enter .




The nucleus also has a structure called the nucleolus .
It has no membrane ,

contains RNA and makes ribosomes

,lysosome
A round organelle surrounded by a membrane , with no clear internal

structure .
Contains digestive enzymes which are kept separate from the

cytoplasm by the surrounding membrane
,
and can be used to digest invading
cells or to break down worn out components of the cells or to break

down worn out comp on merits of the cell .

They are involved in cellular

apoptosis Phagocytic .
cells would contain many of these to digest invading
cells .

They a 're made by the Golgi as they are a type of vesicle .




ribosomes
A very small organelle which either floats free in the cytoplasm or

IS attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum . Its made up of proteins
and RNA .
Not surrounded by a membrane and is 20hm diameter .




>
two subunits combine in the cytoplasm
The site of protein synthesis -
ribosomes attached to the RER make

proteins that are excreted or attached to the cell membrane , ribosomes

that float free in the cytoplasm make proteins that stay in the


cytoplasm .




Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
A system of membranes enclosing a fluid filled space The .
surface is
'




covered with ribosomes .
Its continuous with the nuclear membrane .
i



Folds and processes proteins that have been made at the ribosomes .




Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum
Similar to
rough but
,
contains no ribosomes .
It synthesise and processes
lipids .

, vesicle
A small fluid filled sac in the cytoplasm ,
surrounded by a membrane .




Transports substances in and out of the cell , via the plasma membrane
and between organelles Some are .
formed by the golgi or ER
,
while others
,



are formed at the cell surface .




GolgiApparatus
A group of fluid filled -




,
membrane bound , flattened sacs Vesicles are often .




seen at the edges of the sacs : as secretory vesicles bring materials to and from it
It processes and packages new lipids and proteins . It also makes lysosomes .

Mitochondrion
THE SITE OF AEROBIC RESPIRATION WHERE ,
ATP IS PRODUCED .




They are
usually oval shaped .


They have a double membrane -
the

inner one folded into structures called Cristal Inside
.
is the matrix , which

contains enzymes involved in respiration . ( The site of ATP production )
They can be spherical ,
dependant on the angle / plane they are viewed
at .




A proximately 2- 5pm long .




They are self replicating so more can be made it cells energy requires an

increase .
This means that they are abundant in cells with high metabolic

activity such as hier cells .
( many mitochondria is often an adaptation
of cells in mark schemes )
