Cell Biology Part 1: Animal, Plant, and Bacterial Cells
This page provides a comprehensive overview of cell biology, focusing on the structures and functions of animal, plant, and bacterial cells. It also covers specialized cells, microscopy, and magnification.
Animal and Plant Cells
The page begins with detailed diagrams of animal cell GCSE and plant cell GCSE structures, highlighting their key components.
Animal Cell (Eukaryotic)
- Cell membrane: Controls what enters and exits the cell
- Cytoplasm: Site of enzyme-controlled reactions
- Nucleus: Controls all cell activities
- Mitochondria: Energy production through respiration
- Ribosomes: Protein synthesis
Vocabulary: Eukaryotic - A cell type with a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles.
Plant Cell (Eukaryotic)
- Cell wall: Made of cellulose, strengthens the cell
- Cell membrane: Regulates substance movement
- Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis
- Nucleus: Controls cell activities
- Cytoplasm: Contains genetic material
- Permanent vacuole: Supports cell structure
Highlight: Plant cells have additional structures compared to animal cells, such as a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large permanent vacuole.
Bacterial Cell (Prokaryotic)
The page also includes information on bacterial cell structure:
- Cytoplasm: Contains genetic material
- Ribosomes: For protein synthesis
- Slime capsule: Protects the cell
- Cell wall: Made of cellulose, strengthens the cell
- Flagella: Aids in movement and swimming
- Plasmids: Small rings of DNA
Definition: Prokaryotic cells are simpler cells without a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, typically found in bacteria.
Microscopy and Magnification
The transcript touches on microscopy techniques:
- Electron microscopes: Provide higher resolution and magnification
- Magnification formula: Image size ÷ Actual size
Example: The page includes a magnification scale, showing the relationship between meters, centimeters, millimeters, micrometers, and nanometers.
Specialized Cells
The page concludes with examples of specialized cells in GCSE cell biology AQA:
- Nerve cells: Carry electrical impulses
- Phloem cells: Transport sugar in plants
- Xylem cells: Transport water and minerals in plants
- Red blood cells: Carry oxygen in the body
- Ciliated epithelial cells: Remove mucus and dust from lungs
- Sperm cells: Fertilize egg cells
- Root hair cells: Absorb water and minerals from soil
- Muscle cells: Contract to move bones
Highlight: Each specialized cell has a unique structure adapted to its specific function in the body or plant.
This comprehensive overview provides essential information for students studying GCSE cell biology animal and plant cells topics, covering cell structures, functions, and specialized adaptations.

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.

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.

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!

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 😍😁😲🤑💗✨🎀😮

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
