Cell Organelles Review of Cells
The human body is comprised of cells, tissues and organs
within complex systems that work together to maintain
1/2 life
Cell organelles maintain life processes and require the
input of materials and the removal of wastes to support
efficient functioning of the cell
1/3 Cell Membranes and Transport Cell membrane & movement of materials: Task 1: Cell Transport
Fluid mosaic model Investigation
o Diffusion
o Facilitated diffusion
o Osmosis
o Active transport
o Vesicular transport (endocytosis and exocytosis)
Factors affecting the exchange of materials across the cell
membrane include;
o Surface area to volume ratios
o Concentration gradients
o The physical and chemical nature of the
materials being exchanged
Body Tissues Tissues
Tissues perform specific functions and can be categorised
into four basic tissue types;
1/4 o Epithelial
o Connective
o Muscular
o Nervous
Metabolism Metabolism Task 2: Cells, Tissues and
Cellular respiration to release energy in the form of ATP. Metabolism TEST
Cells require nutrients including : carbohydrates, proteins,
1/5
lipids etc.
Enzymes & factors affecting ie pH, temperature,
concentrations etc.
Circulatory System Circulatory System Task 3: Heart and
