What do I need to know…?

☹

😐

☺

I can draw and fully label a plant cell, animal cell and a bacterial (prokaryotic) cell.

I can define processes diffusion, osmosis, and active transport.

I can state the difference between cells, tissues, and organs.

I can state the link between chromosomes and DNA.

I can define the term ‘stem cell’ and state sources of stem cells in plants and animals.

I can name the parts of a microscope and state why cells are stained prior to observation.

I can describe why electron microscopes have helped develop scientists’ understanding of cell structure.

I can describe  the function (job) of all of the organelles listed: nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, cytoplasm, ribosome, mitochondria, chloroplast, vacuole

I can describe differences between diffusion and active transport.

I can describe the effect of osmosis on plant cells.

I can describe how I could carry out a practical to investigate osmosis in potato tissue.

I can describe the stages of mitosis and the cell cycle.

I can describe the structure of DNA

I can describe the role of gametes in asexual reproduction.

I can explain why a cell is specialised and can name some examples.

I can explain how factors affect diffusion.

I can explain how villi increase the rate of absorption in the small intestine.

I can explain how prokaryotic cells are adapted to allow them to live a unicellular life.

I can discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of stem cell research, comparing the differences between embryonic and adult stem cells.
