Cytoplasm: Gel-like
substance where
most of the chemical
reactions take place
Mitochondria:
Where
respiration
takes place
Nucleus:
Contains
genetic material
that controls
the activities of
the cell
Ribosomes:
Where
proteins are
made
Cell
membrane:
Holds the cell
together and
controls what
goes in and out
Cell wall: Made of
cellulose, supports
and strengthens the
cell
Vacuole:
Contains cells
sap (a weak
solution of salts
and sugars)
Chloroplasts:
Where
photosynthesis
occurs which
makes food for the
plant
Animal cell
Nucleus: Contains genetic
material that controls the
activities of the cell

Diffusion
"The spreading out of particles from an
area of high concentration to low
concentration"
Happens in liquids and gases
Dissolved substances
can move in and out of
a cell via diffusion
Big molecules like proteins and
starch can't fit through the cell
membrane
Molecules that
can dissolve
through the cell
membrane eg.
oxygen, glucose,
amino acids and
water

Plant structure and photosynthesis
Parts of a plant leaves (tissues etc.)
Mesophyll tissue: Where most of the photosynthesis occurs
Xylem and
phloem: Transport
water, mineral
ions and sucrose
Epidermal tissue: Covers the whole plant
The rate of photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide + water ---> glucose + oxygen
Limiting factors (depending
on environmental conditions)
Light (at night)
Sometimes carbon dioxide
Temperature in winter
Enzymes denature if the
temperature is too high
or low
How plants use glucose
For respiration
Making cell walls
Making proteins
Stored as starch
Stored in seeds
The distribution of organisms
Organisms live in different
places because the
environment varies
This depends on
temperature,
availability of water,
availability of
oxygen and carbon
dioxide, availability
of nutrients and
water, amount of
light etc.
Quadrats are used
to study the
distribution of small
organisms
Transects are
used to study the
distribution of
organisms along
a line
