2.1.1 Outline the cell theory.
• All living things are made from cells – they are a basic unit of structure
• Smallest unit of life
• Derived from pre-existing cells by division
• Contain a blueprint for growth, development & behaviour
• Site of all metabolism
2.1.2 Discuss the evidence for the cell theory.Scientists looed at the structures of organisms under microscopes and found they were allmade form small units called cells!
"he cells were able to survive on their own for a period of time, but nothing smaller was ableto survive!#xperiment – sterilise two samples of nutrients! Seal one and expose the other to air! $bserve
that the organisms must arise from other existing organisms% cells!
2.1.3 State that unicellular organisms carry out all the functions of life.
2.1.4 Compare the relative sizes of molecules, cell memrane thic!ness, viruses,
acteria, organelles and cells, using the appropriate S" unit.

2.1.$ Calculate the linear magni%cation of dra&ings and the actual size ofspecimens in images of !no&n magni%cation.
2.1.' ()plain the importance of the surface area to volume ratio as a factor limitingcell size.0olume increases at a faster rate than surface area! As volume increases, the surface area 2
volume ratio decreases and the cell3s interior has decreasing access to the external
environment! "he cell becomes less e4cient as substances must be transported in & out!
Di5usion in% out is much slower!
2.1.* State that multicellular organisms sho& emergent properties.
"he properties are worth more than the sum of individual parts!
2.1.+ ()plain that cells in multicellular organisms dierentiate to carry out
specialized functions y e)pressing some of their genes ut not others.
• 6enes - a speci7c region of a chromosome which determines the development of a
speci7c characteristic!
• 8hen a cell di5erentiates, particular genes are activated, resulting in a specialised cell!
• -otipotency - a cells potential to specialise
• 9ighly specialised cells are unable to divide• Specialised cells are dependent upon each other
2.1. State that stem cells retain the capacity to divide and have the aility to
dierentiate along dierent path&ays.

Stem cells are pluripotent and can produce di5erentiate into many cells!
2.1.1/ Outline one therapeutic use of stem cells.
1one marrow cells can be harvested before chemotherapy and replaced afterwards to ensure
the patient has an ample supply of red and white blood cells, as the stem cells found in bone
marrow are illed during chemotherapy!

2.4.2 ()plain ho& the hydrophoic and hydrophilic properties of phospholipids help
to maintain the structure of cell memranes.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ib-biology-topic-1-cells 6/10
"he phospholipids are made from a phosphate group connected to a glycerol and two fattyacid tails!
"he phosphate head is hydrophilicE they are attracted to water "he fatty acid tails are hydrophoicE they are repelled by water!Fn a watery environment, the phospholipids will automatically form a bilayer as above!
"he cell will therefore remain stable but allow exibility, as the phospholipids are in a uid!
2.4.3 5ist the functions of memrane proteins.
:roteins are used as hormone binding sites, electron carriers, pumps for active transport,
receptors, channels for passive transport, and enBymes

high water potential to low water potential!
2.4.$ ()plain passive transport across memranes y simple diusion and
facilitated diusion.
:assive Di5usion:articles move through the semi-permeable lipid bilayer through simple di5usion until the
concentration on both sides is even! 9ydrophobic molecules di5use inwards through this

2.4.* ()plain ho& vesicles are used to transport materials &ithin a cell et&een the
rough endoplasmic reticulum, 6olgi apparatus and plasma memrane.
:roteins are synthesised in the rough endoplasmic reticulum by ribosomes! 0esicles transport
the protein to the golgi apparatus, and then to the plasma membrane! "he vesicle fuses with
the membrane and expels its contents outside the cell! "his is exocytosis! "he membrane
then pinches inwards and the vesicle detaches! "his is endocytosis!

2.4.+ Descrie ho& the 7uidity of the memrane allo&s it to change shape, rea!
and re8form during endocytosis and e)ocytosis.
"he phospholipids which mae up the membrane are in a uid state! "his allows them to
move, change shape, and allow vesicles to fuse with it! "his is critical during endocytosis andexocytosis as it means that substances are able to enter & exit the cell!
2.4.' ()plain the role of protein pumps and - in active transport across
memranes.
Active transport is used to transport substances against a concentration gradient! "he protein
pump reGuires energy to open and close, which it receives from A":s! ;ote that protein
pumps are speci7c!

6 – Cell grows and matures
S – D;A is replicated in preparation for mitosis
6H – Cell grows further and prepares for mitosis
/itosis – Divided into prophase, metaphase, anaphase& telophase! Daughter cells3 genomes are separated!
Cytoinesis – "he cytoplasm divides to create twodaughter cells! Fn animals, the cell membrane divides and in plants, aplate between the daughter cell s is formed!
2.$.2 State that tumours 0cancers are the result of uncontrolled cell division and
that these can occur in any organ or tissue.
2.$.3 State that interphase is an active period in the life of a cell &hen many
metaolic reactions occur, including protein synthesis, D9 replication and an
increase in the numer of mitochondria and:or chloroplast
2.$.4Descrie the events that occur in the four phases of mitosis 0prophase,
metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

3. naphaseSpindle retreats & chromatids split,
forming two sets of D;A4. -elophase
;uclear membrane reforms;ucleolus reforms
Chromatids decondense to formchromatids
$. Cyto!inesisCell pinches in half Cytoplasm divides
2.$.$ ()plain ho& mitosis produces
t&o genetically identical nuclei.
During the S phase of interphase, the D;A is duplicated in the form of sister chromatids
held together by a centromere! During mitosis, the chromatids are separated to opposite
sides of the cell, before it is divided into two daughter cells! "he daughter cells are thusgenetically identical!
2.$.' State that gro&th, emryonic development, tissue repair and ase)ual
reproduction involve mitosis.
