Engulfing Membrane diagram
Recognising Engulfing Membrane
Engulfing Membrane 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.

Simple Mitochondria Punctate diagram
Recognising Simple Mitochondria Punctate
Simple Mitochondria Punctate supports Animal and plant cells 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: Explain the role of mitochondria in releasing energy for the cell. Diagram marks usually come from linking a named structure to what it does.
