Cell Membrane Semi Circle diagram
Recognising Cell Membrane Semi Circle
Cell Membrane Semi Circle 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.

Primary private mapping: EDEXCEL GCSE Biology 1SC0, Key concepts in biology.
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.

Exam Answer Move
This is linked to: Build an explanation of the way the sub-cellular structures of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells are related to their functions, covering: a animal cells – nucleus, cell membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes b plant cells – nucleus, cell membrane, cell wall, chloroplasts, mitochondria, vacuole and ribosomes c bacteria – chromosomal DNA, plasmid DNA, cell membrane, ribosomes and flagella. A strong answer names the transport process and links it to membrane structure.
