Understanding cell structure is absolutely crucial for biology success -... Show more
Your cells are like tiny factories, and each organelle has a specific job to keep everything running smoothly. The nucleus acts as the control centre, managing all cellular activities like a CEO running a company.
The mitochondria are your cell's power stations, producing ATP through aerobic respiration to fuel everything you do. In plant cells, chloroplasts capture sunlight for photosynthesis, whilst the vacuole maintains water pressure to keep plants upright and strong.
Protein production happens at ribosomes, which read genetic instructions and build proteins amino acid by amino acid. The rough endoplasmic reticulum handles protein synthesis, whilst smooth endoplasmic reticulum focuses on making and transporting lipids.
The Golgi apparatus works like a postal service, packaging and modifying proteins before shipping them out. Lysosomes manage cellular waste and transport materials in and out of the cell, keeping everything tidy and functional.
Quick Tip: Remember that ribosomes read triplet codons - groups of three genetic letters that code for specific amino acids!
The cellular world splits into two major camps, and understanding this difference will help you ace any biology exam. Prokaryotic cells (like bacteria) are the simple ones - tiny, with no membrane-bound organelles and DNA floating freely in the cytoplasm.
Eukaryotic cells are the sophisticated cousins, featuring a proper nucleus surrounded by a membrane and loads of specialised organelles. They're much larger and more complex than prokaryotes, with bigger ribosomes and organised chromosomes.
Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic but have key differences. Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and one massive central vacuole that pushes the nucleus to one side.
Animal cells lack cell walls and chloroplasts but have many small vacuoles instead. They're more flexible in shape and contain centrioles near the nucleus, plus lysosomes for cellular cleanup duties.
Memory Trick: Pro-karyotic = Pro-basic (simple), Eu-karyotic = Eu-posh (fancy with organelles)!
Your body contains different types of muscle tissue that work in completely different ways. Skeletal muscle is under your voluntary control - it's striated (striped) and powers all your conscious movements from writing to running.
Smooth muscle works without you thinking about it, lining your internal organs and moving fluids around your body. Cardiac muscle combines the best of both worlds - it's striated like skeletal muscle but involuntary like smooth muscle, keeping your heart beating 24/7.
Epithelial tissues form protective barriers and specialised surfaces throughout your body. Squamous epithelial cells are flat and thin, perfect for filtration in places like your lungs' alveoli where gas exchange happens.
Ciliated columnar epithelial cells are tall and rectangular with tiny hairs that sweep substances along - you'll find them in your trachea moving mucus upwards. Connective tissue is your body's most abundant tissue type, providing crucial support and protection for organs and structures.
Exam Focus: Remember the three muscle types by their control: skeletal (voluntary), smooth and cardiac (both involuntary)!

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.
