Cellular structure and function
- Cells as the basic structural feature of life on Earth, including the distinction between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
- Surface area to volume ratio as an important factor in the limitations of cell size
- The need for internal compartments (organelles) with specific cellular functions
- The structure and specialisation of plant and animal cell organelles for distinct functions, including chloroplasts and mitochondria
- The structure and function of the plasma membrane in the passage of water, hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances via osmosis, facilitated diffusion and active transport
