3.2.1.1 Eukaryotic cell structure
Eukaryotic Cell structure (animal, plant, fungi, algae)
cell-surface membrane, nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus and Golgi vesicles, lysosomes, ribosomes, rough + smooth endoplasmic reticulum, cell wall, cell vacuole (in plants)
Specialising of cells based on adaptations, forming tissue, organs, organ system etc
3.2.1.2
Prokaryotic cell structure and viruses structure only
3.2.1.3
Methods of studying cells
Microscopes
Cell fractionation and ultracentrifugation
3.2.2 All cells arise from other cells
Mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Binary fission of bacteria
Viral replication by host cells
3.2.3 Transport over cell membranes
Fluid mosaic model of cell surface membrane
Transport: simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport, co transport
What affects rate of transport
3.2.4 Cell recognition and immune system
Antigens on surface allow detection of foreign objects by immune system
PHAGocytosis
T lymphocytes
Humoral response: release of antibodies, AA complex
Vaccines
HIV
ELISA test, medical diagnosis, drug delivery in body
