  • Emptycell Membrane Halfcircle diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Membrane Halfcircle

    Emptycell Membrane Halfcircle supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding 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.

    Exam Answer Move

    This is linked to: Build an explanation of the way changes in microscope technology, covering electron microscopy, have enabled us to see cell structures and organelles with more clarity and detail than in the past and increased our understanding of the role of sub-cellular structures. A strong answer names the transport process and links it to membrane structure.

  • Emptycell Membrane 2 5 diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Membrane 2 5

    Emptycell Membrane 2 5 supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding by giving students a diagram they can connect to the specification point being tested.

  • Emptycell Oval diagram

    Recognising Emptycell Oval

    Emptycell Oval supports Microscope Technology and Cellular Understanding 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.

    Exam Answer Move

    The mapped objective is: Build an explanation of the way changes in microscope technology, covering electron microscopy, have enabled us to see cell structures and organelles with more clarity and detail than in the past and increased our understanding of the role of sub-cellular structures. Diagram marks usually come from linking a named structure to what it does.
