This revision guide is divided into 3 sections; Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The contents page will take you
to your chosen topic. To return to the contents page simply click the ‘home’ icon on the bottom right of the
page.
When you have completed your revision for a topic, use the ‘secure, unsure, weak’ checkbox in
the top right hand corner to record your progress. This will allow you to return to topics which
need extra work.
Each revision page has some possible exam questions listed. When you have revised a topic you should complete these
questions. Remember, practice makes perfect!

,B CELL THEORY
SECURE
The cell is the fundamental unit of life. All organisms, whatever their type or size, are composed of cells. The modern theory of cellular organisation states:-
• All living things are composed of cells and cell products.
• New cells are formed only by the division of pre-existing cells
• The cell contains inherited information (genes), which is used as instructions for growth, functioning and development.
• The cell is the functioning unit of life; the metabolic reactions of life take place within the cells.
