ASSIGNMENT PLAN USING THE TIME-TABLE APPROACH FOR Unit 5 CELL

BIOLOGY

INTRODUCTION.
You are required to write an illustrated report that includes the sections
outlined below.

SECTION 1
Show that you understand basic cell structure by providing written
commentary that covers the following criteria. You should use diagrams
and/or comparison tables to support your commentary where appropriate.
• Discuss the selected characteristics of living cells.
• Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and explain the
impact that viruses have on them.
• Discuss eukaryotic sub-cellular structure and organelles.

SECTION 2
Demonstrate that you understand cellular metabolism through explanation
of the following areas:
• The role of the cell membrane in regulating how nutrients are gained
and waste products lost.
• How animal cells use nutrients to provide the energy for growth,
movement, and cell division.
• The synthesis of proteins.

Include diagrams to support your commentary where appropriate.

SECTION 3
Demonstrate that you understand how cells grow and divide through
explanation of the following areas:
• The generation of specialised tissues from embryonic stem cells.
• The importance of interphase.
• The factors the initiate cell division.
• How the same genetic information is received by each daughter cell.
• This section also requires you to compare and contrast cancer cells with
normal cell.
