A2.2.4 - Structures Common to All Cells
Typical cells have DNA as genetic material & a cytoplasm composed mainly of water, which is enclosed by a plasma membrane composed of lipids. Students should understand the reasons for these structures.
5  cards
A2.2.5 - Prokaryote Cells
Include these cell components: cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, naked DNA in a loop & 70S ribosomes. The type of prokaryotic cell structure required is that of Gram-positive eubacteria such as Bacillus & Staphylococcus. Students should appreciate that prokaryote cell structure varies. However, students are not required to know details of the variations such as the lack of cell walls in phytoplasmas and mycoplasmas.
9  cards
A2.2.6 - Eukaryote Cells
Students should be familiar with features common to eukaryote cells: a plasma membrane enclosing a compartmentalized cytoplasm with 80S ribosomes; a nucleus with chromosomes made of DNA bound to histones, contained in a double membrane with pores; membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelles including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and a variety of vesicles or vacuoles including lysosomes; and a cytoskeleton of microtubules and microfilaments.
9  cards
A2.2.7 - Unicellular Organisms
Include these functions: homeostasis, metabolism, nutrition, movement, excretion, growth, response to stimuli & reproduction (MR HM GREN)
6  cards
A2.2.8 - Differences in Eukaryotic Cell Structures
Include presence and composition of cell walls, differences in size and function of vacuoles, presence of chloroplasts and other plastids, and presence of centrioles, cilia and flagella.
12  cards
A2.2.9 - Atypical Cell Structure in Eukaryotes
Use numbers of nuclei to illustrate one type of atypical cell structure in aseptate fungal hyphae, skeletal muscle, red blood cells and phloem sieve tube elements.
