  • Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Orange diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Orange

    Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Orange supports Culturing microorganisms (biology only) by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

    What To Explain

    The membrane is selectively permeable, so substances move across it by diffusion, osmosis or active transport depending on the particle and gradient.

    Syllabus Link

    Syllabus link: AQA GCSE Biology 8461, Cell structure.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is linked to: Apply understanding of culturing microorganisms (biology only) to explain and interpret GCSE Biology exam questions. A strong answer names the transport process and links it to membrane structure.

  • Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Green diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Green

    Emptycell Quarteroval Membrane Green supports Culturing microorganisms (biology only) by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

    What To Explain

    The membrane is selectively permeable, so substances move across it by diffusion, osmosis or active transport depending on the particle and gradient.

  • Emptycell Squarerounded diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Squarerounded

    Emptycell Squarerounded supports Culturing microorganisms (biology only) by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

    What To Explain

    The answer should name the cell structure and link it to its function, such as control, respiration, photosynthesis or protein synthesis.

    Syllabus Link

    Syllabus link: AQA GCSE Biology 8461, Cell structure.

    Exam Answer Move

    The mapped objective is: Apply understanding of culturing microorganisms (biology only) to explain and interpret GCSE Biology exam questions. Diagram marks usually come from linking a named structure to what it does.
