Page 2: Cellular Components and Organelles

This page focuses on the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, ribosomes, and vacuoles.

Definition: Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum RERRER is an elaborate 3D system of membranes with attached ribosomes, specialized for protein synthesis.

Example: The cell wall contains microfibrils of cellulose arranged in a matrix, providing structural support while allowing water passage.

Highlight: Lysosomes contain digestive enzymes and play crucial roles in breaking down cellular components and dead cells.

<h2 id="nucleus">Nucleus</h2> <p>The nucleus of eukaryotic cells consists of the following parts:</p> <h3 id="nuclearenvelope">Nuclear Enve

Page 3: Prokaryotic and Virus Structure

This section compares prokaryotic cells with viruses, highlighting their unique characteristics.

Definition: Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles and a true nucleus.

Vocabulary: Capsid - A protein coat that encloses viral nucleic acids.

Highlight: Viral attachment proteins are complementary to host cell receptors, enabling specific host recognition.

<h2 id="nucleus">Nucleus</h2> <p>The nucleus of eukaryotic cells consists of the following parts:</p> <h3 id="nuclearenvelope">Nuclear Enve

Page 4: Methods of Studying Cells

This page details various microscopy techniques and cell study methods.

Definition: Resolution is the minimum distance at which two objects can appear separate under microscopic observation.

Example: Cell fractionation involves homogenization and ultracentrifugation to isolate specific organelles.

Highlight: Different types of microscopes Light,Transmission,ScanningLight, Transmission, Scanning offer various advantages and limitations in cell study.

<h2 id="nucleus">Nucleus</h2> <p>The nucleus of eukaryotic cells consists of the following parts:</p> <h3 id="nuclearenvelope">Nuclear Enve

Page 5: Cell Division and Reproduction

The final page introduces the concept that all cells arise from pre-existing cells.

Quote: "All Cells Arise from Other Cells"

This fundamental principle underlies cellular reproduction and division processes.

Page 1: Structure of Eukaryotic Cells

The first page introduces fundamental cellular structures with detailed diagrams of key organelles. The structure of nucleus and other major organelles are thoroughly explained.

Definition: The nuclear envelope is a double membrane structure that regulates material transport in and out of the nucleus through nuclear pores.

Highlight: The Mitochondria double membrane structure plays a crucial role in cellular respiration and ATP production.

Vocabulary: Nucleoplasm - The gel-like substance within the nucleus containing DNA and proteins.

The page details the Chloroplast envelope double membrane function and structure, including:

  • Grana stackedthylakoidsstacked thylakoids
  • Stroma fluid−filledmatrixfluid-filled matrix
  • Chlorophyll-containing thylakoids

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

Thomas R

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.

Basil

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.

David K

iOS user

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.

Greenlight Bonnie

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
