  • B1 - Cell Structure and Transport
    • Microscopy
      • Electron Microscope
        • Uses beams of electrons
        • High magnification - X2 million
        • Large
        • Expensive
        • Need to be kept in special temp, pressure, humidity controlled rooms
        • Resolving power - 0.2nm
      • Light Microscope
        • Low magnification - X2000
        • Cheap
        • Uses light to form image
        • Resolving power - 200nm
      • Magnification= size of image/actual size
      • Total magnification = magnification of eye piece lens X magnification of objective lens
    • Specialised Cells
      • Animal
        • Sperm cell
          • Carry male DNA to egg cell for reproduction
          • Streamlined head & long tail aid swimming, mitochondria supply energy for cell to move, acrosome had digestive enzymes break down layers of membrane of egg cell
        • Nerve cell
        • Differentiate at early stage
      • Plants
        • Root hair cell
        • Xylem cell
        • Cell types can differentiate throughout life
      • Cells that are adapted to perform a specific function
    • Transport
      • Osmosis
        • Net movement of water from dilute solution to concentrated solution across partially permeable membrane
      • Diffusion
        • Spreading out of particles in a solution of gas, resulting in the net movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration
        • Factors that affect diffusion
          • Temperature change
          • Concentration gradient
          • Surface area
      • Active Transport
        • Movement of substances from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution, against a concentration gradient
        • Uses energy from respiration
    • Domains
      • Prokaryotic
        • Bacteria
          • Cell capsule
          • Cytoplasm
          • Cell membrane
          • Cell wall
          • Chromosone
          • Flagellum
          • Plasmid
            • Small rings of DNA
      • Eukaryotic
        • Plants
          • Chloroplast
            • Photo-synthesis occurs, provide food for plant
          • Cytoplasm
            • Responsible for breaking down waste
          • Mitochondria
          • Nucleus
          • Permanent vacuole
            • Maintain cell shape, contains cell sap
          • Cell membrane
          • Cellulose cell wall
            • Strengthens and supports cell
          • Ribosomes
        • Animals
          • Mitochondria
            • Respiration occurs, provide energy for cell
          • Nucleus
            • Carries genetic info, controls what happens in cell
          • Cytoplasm
          • Cell membrane
            • Controls what goes in and out of cell
          • Ribosomes
            • Protein synthesis occurs
