How Cells Grow Bigger and How They Eat!

The biological processes and cellular structures explained in detail, with emphasis on microscopy, cell division, and digestive systems.

  • Cell structure and microscopy explores different types of microscopes and their magnification capabilities for studying cells ranging from 0.05mm to 1.1mm
  • Cell cycle and division details the process of cell growth through interphase and mitosis, highlighting the role of chromosomes and DNA
  • Diffusion and transport examines how substances move across cell membranes through various mechanisms
  • Digestive system and enzymes covers the breakdown of nutrients through mechanical and chemical digestion
  • Blood and circulation discusses different blood components and their functions in the body

Cell Division and Transport

This section delves into the cell cycle and transport mechanisms, emphasizing how diffusion and osmosis in biological processes facilitate cellular function.

Definition: Diffusion is the net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Highlight: Factors that increase diffusion rate include:

  • Larger surface area
  • Higher temperature
  • Greater concentration difference

The text explains how chromosomes carry genetic information in DNA molecules, with each section containing codes for specific proteins called genes.

Vocabulary: Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can develop into various cell types.

Example: Adult stem cells are found in bone marrow and have limited differentiation potential.

Digestion and Enzyme Function

This section explores how the role of enzymes in digestion and nutrient absorption is crucial for breaking down food molecules.

Definition: Enzymes are biological catalysts that break down nutrients into smaller, soluble molecules.

Example: Key digestive enzymes include:

  • Amylase: Breaks down starch into maltose
  • Protease: Breaks down proteins into amino acids
  • Lipase: Breaks down lipids into fatty acids and glycerol

The text also covers blood components and their functions:

  • Red blood cells: Transport oxygen
  • White blood cells: Defend against pathogens
  • Platelets: Involved in blood clotting

Highlight: Enzyme activity is optimal at specific pH values and temperatures, with stomach enzymes working best in acidic conditions while small intestine enzymes prefer alkaline environments.

I love this app so much, I also use it daily. I recommend Knowunity to everyone!!! I went from a D to an A with it :D

Philip, iOS User

The app is very simple and well designed. So far I have always found everything I was looking for :D

Lena, iOS user

I love this app ❤️ I actually use it every time I study.

Microscopy and Cell Structure

This section explores the fundamentals of cellular observation and structure through microscopy. The text details how increasing cell size and subcellular structures can be studied using different types of microscopes.

Definition: Magnification is calculated by dividing the size of the image by the real image size.

Example: Animal cells typically range between 0.05mm to 1.1mm, while plant cells range from 0.10mm to 1.01mm.

Highlight: Electron microscopes provide higher magnification and resolution compared to light microscopes.

The section also covers basic cell structures including:

  • Cytoplasm: The jelly-like material where chemical reactions occur
  • Nucleus: Contains genetic material
  • Mitochondria: Contains enzymes for respiration
  • Cell membrane: Controls substance movement

Vocabulary: Cytokinesis - The process where cytoplasm and cell membranes divide to form two identical daughter cells.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Android user

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Best app on earth! no words because it’s too good

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

very reliable app to help and grow your ideas of Maths, English and other related topics in your works. please use this app if your struggling in areas, this app is key for that. wish I'd of done a review before. and it's also free so don't worry about that.

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.

THE QUIZES AND FLASHCARDS ARE SO USEFUL AND I LOVE THE SCHOOLGPT. IT ALSO IS LITREALLY LIKE CHATGPT BUT SMARTER!! HELPED ME WITH MY MASCARA PROBLEMS TOO!! AS WELL AS MY REAL SUBJECTS ! DUHHH 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

Elisha

This apps acc the goat. I find revision so boring but this app makes it so easy to organize it all and then you can ask the freeeee ai to test yourself so good and you can easily upload your own stuff. highly recommend as someone taking mocks now
