Resource summary

AQA - Additional Science - Cells
  1. Animal & Plant Cells
    1. Plant cells contain: Chloroplast, a cell wall, and a vacuole. While animal cells do not. Both contain: Cytoplasm, a nucleus, a cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes.
    2. Bacteria & Yeast
      1. A bacterium is a single celled organism. Genetic material in a bacterial cell is in no distinct nucleus.
        1. Both have cytoplasm and a membrane surrounding a cell wall; but unlike a bacterial cell, a yeast cell has a nucleus. A yeast cell is also a single celled organism.
        2. Specialised Cells
          1. Cells may be specialised for a particular function. Their structure will allow them to carry this function out. For example, the function of a leaf cell is to absorb light energy for photosynthesis - this cell is packed with chloroplasts. Regular shaped and has closely packed cells which form a continuous layer for efficient absorption of sunlight.
          2. Diffusion
            1. Dissolved substances have to pass through the cell membrane to get into or out of a cell. Diffusion is one of the processes that allows this to happen. Diffusion occurs when particles spread. They move from a region where they are in high concentration to a region where they are in low concentration. Diffusion happens when the particles are free to move.
