What Is Covered in Topic 1: Cell Structure?

Topic 1: Cell Structure is the foundational unit of the Cambridge AS & A Level Biology 9700 syllabus. The AS Level syllabus covers two main areas: 1.1 The microscope in cell studies and 1.2 Cells as the basic units of living organisms[reference:1][reference:2]. This comprehensive thematic unit plan covers all essential concepts including:

1.1 The Microscope in Cell Studies

  • Principles of Microscopy – Understanding the principles of light microscopy and electron microscopy. Differentiating between transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Understanding the advantages and limitations of each type of microscopy.
  • Magnification and Resolution – Distinguishing between magnification (how much larger an image appears) and resolution (the ability to distinguish between two separate points). Understanding the relationship between wavelength and resolution. Calculating magnification using the formula: magnification = image size ÷ actual size.
  • Eyepiece Graticules and Stage Micrometers – Understanding how to use an eyepiece graticule and stage micrometer to measure the actual size of specimens. Calculating actual sizes from micrographs using magnification scales.
  • Calculating Actual Size – Performing calculations to determine the actual size of cellular structures from electron micrographs and light micrographs. Understanding the importance of calibration.
  • Biological Drawings – Developing the skills of using a microscope and recording observations through biological drawings[reference:3].

1.2 Cells as the Basic Units of Living Organisms

  • Eukaryotic Cell Structure – Recognising and describing the structure and functions of eukaryotic cell organelles including[reference:4][reference:5]:
    • Cell surface membrane – The phospholipid bilayer that controls the movement of substances in and out of cells
    • Nucleus, nuclear envelope and nucleolus – The control centre of the cell, containing chromatin and the nucleolus (site of ribosome synthesis)
    • Rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) – Studded with ribosomes; involved in protein synthesis and transport
    • Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) – Involved in lipid synthesis and detoxification
    • Golgi body (Golgi apparatus) – Modifies, sorts and packages proteins for secretion
    • Mitochondria – The site of aerobic respiration, producing ATP
    • Chloroplasts – The site of photosynthesis in plant cells
    • Lysosomes – Contain hydrolytic enzymes for intracellular digestion
    • Vesicles – Membrane-bound sacs for transport within cells
    • Ribosomes – The site of protein synthesis (80S in eukaryotes, 70S in prokaryotes)
    • Centrosome (centrioles) – Involved in spindle formation during cell division
    • Cell wall – Provides structural support in plant, fungal and prokaryotic cells
    • Vacuole – Storage and maintenance of turgor pressure in plant cells
  • Animal and Plant Cells – Comparing the structure of animal and plant cells. Identifying the organelles present in each cell type and understanding their functions[reference:6].
  • Prokaryotic Cell Structure – Understanding the structure of prokaryotic cells (bacteria). Identifying the features of prokaryotic cells including: cell wall, cell surface membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes (70S), nucleoid (circular DNA), and plasmids. Differentiating prokaryotic cells from eukaryotic cells[reference:7].
  • Viruses – Understanding that viruses are non-cellular structures. Describing the structure of viruses including: nucleic acid core (DNA or RNA), capsid (protein coat), and sometimes an envelope. Explaining why viruses are not considered living organisms[reference:8].
  • The Endosymbiotic Theory – Understanding the endosymbiotic theory for the origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts. Explaining the evidence supporting this theory[reference:9].
  • The Vital Role of ATP – Understanding the role of ATP as the universal energy currency in cells[reference:10].
