Osmosis: Animal Cells Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (dilute solution) to a region of lower water potential (concentrated solution), t...
Osmosis: Plant Cells Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (dilute solution) to a region of lower water potential (concentrated solution), th...
The Process of Osmosis All cells are surrounded by a cell membrane which is partially permeable Water can move in and out of cells by osmosis Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from...
Diffusion & Facilitated Diffusion Diffusion is a type of transportation that occurs across the cell membrane It can be defined as: The net movement, as a result of the random motion of i...
Cell Surface Membranes Phospholipids Form the basic structure of the membrane (phospholipid bilayer) The tails form a hydrophobic core comprising the innermost part of both the outer and inn...
Phospholipids, Cholesterol, Glycolipids, Proteins & Glycoproteins The cell membranes of all organisms generally have a similar structure Cell membranes contain several different types of...
Viruses Do Not Undergo Cell Division Viruses are non-cellular infectious particles that straddle the boundary between ‘living’ and ‘non-living’ They are much smaller than prokaryotic cells T...
Binary Fission of Prokaryotic Cells The process of cell division (binary fission) in prokaryotic cells is much simpler than mitosis in eukaryotic cells Prokaryotic cells do not possess: A nu...
Uncontrolled Cell Division & Cancer Cancers demonstrate how important it is that cell division is precisely controlled, as cancers arise due to uncontrolled mitosis Cancerous cells divid...
Maths Skill: Mitotic Index The mitotic index is the proportion of cells (in a group of cells or a sample of tissue) that are undergoing mitosis The mitotic index can be calculated using the ...
