B1 - Cell Structure and Transport
  1. Microscopes
    1. Magnification = Image size ÷ Real object size
      1. Light
        1. Can magnify up to x2'000
          1. Developed mid 17th Century
            1. Uses a beam of light to form a bigger (magnified) picture of the object
              1. Relatively cheap, can be used almost anywhere and works on live specimen.
              2. Electron
                1. Invented in the 1930s
                  1. Can magnify up to x2'000'000
                    1. Uses a beam of electrons to form a bigger (magnified) picture of the object
                      1. Can only be used in specific temperatures, humidities & pressures
                        1. Transmission electron microscopes give 2D images with high magnification and resolution
                          1. Scanning electron microscopes give 3D images but have lower magnification and resolution.
                            1. Very large and expensive
                          2. Eukaryotic Cells
                            1. Animal
                              1. Nucleus
                              2. Plants
                                1. Prokaryotic Cells
                                  1. Bacteria
                                    1. ....
                                    2. Specialisation in Cells
                                      1. Animals
                                        1. Nerve Cells
                                          1. Lots of dendrites so can connect to other nerve cells, a huge axon that can carry the impulses, and synapses adapted to pass impulses with chemicals and contain lots of mitochondria for energy.
                                          2. Sperm Cells
                                            1. Long flagellum, streamlined head with large nucleus and lots of mitochondria and digestive enzymes in the head give the sperm more chance of getting to the egg and passing on the genetics.
                                            2. Muscle Cells
                                              1. Contain special proteins, many mitochondria and store glycogen. This means they can contract and relax, allowing us to move.
                                            3. Plants
                                              1. Root Hair Cells
                                                1. Larger surface area, large permanent vacuole and lots of mitochondria to speed up intake of water.
                                                2. Photosynthetic Cells
                                                  1. Contains chloroplast and chlorophyll, positioned in continuous layers, and have a large permanent vacuole so they can absorb more light and photosynthesis can happen more efficiently.
                                                  2. Xylem Cells
                                                    1. ...
                                                    2. Phloem Cells
                                                      1. Cell walls between cells, and the internal structure breaks down. Companion cells with mitochondria give them energy and keep them alive. The open tube makes it easier for the water and minerals to travel.
                                                    3. Cells specialise to ...
                                                    4. Exchanging Materials
                                                      1. Osmosis
                                                        1. In Animals
                                                          1. In Plants
                                                          2. Diffusion
                                                              1. Active Transport
