Describe the process of photosynthesis and name the reactants, products, and requirements (light and chlorophyll) Write the word equation for photosynthesis |
Describe the internal structure of the chloroplast organelle and relate the structure of the organelle to increasing the supply of the reactants and requirements and increased efficiency / rate of photosynthesis. |
Explain how oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of the cell / chloroplast organelle and across the cell to and from the organelle in relation to photosynthesis efficiency and rate. |
Explain how oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of the cell / chloroplast organelle and across the cell to and from the organelle in relation to photosynthesis efficiency and rate. |
Explain the role and location of the leaf cells involved in photosynthesis |
Explain the factors that affect the process of photosynthesis. – availability of resources and indirectly, the effect of factors affecting enzymes involved in photosynthesis. |
Explain the role of enzymes in photosynthesis |
Describe the process of respiration and name the reactants and products. Write the word equation. |
Describe the process of respiration and name the reactants and products. Write the word equation. |
Explain the role of enzymes in respiration. |
Explain how oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose diffuse across the cell membrane / organelle in relation to respiration rate / efficiency. |
Explain how oxygen, carbon dioxide and glucose diffuse across the cell membrane / organelle in relation to respiration rate / efficiency. |
Explain the factors that affect the process of respiration – availability of resources and indirectly, the effect of factors affecting enzymes involved in respiration. |
Describe the stages in the cell cycle. |
Explain the purpose of DNA replication |
Describe the structure of DNA including complimentary base pairing |
Describe process of DNA replication and explain the purpose of each step in the process |
Explain the importance of semi conservative replication and complimentary base paring to the process of DNA replication |
Describe the role of enzymes in DNA replication |
Describe the role of enzymes in cell division / mitosis. |
Explain the process of mitosis as part of the cell cycle. |
Explain factors that affect the rate of mitosis in the plant or animal cells. Explain the location of mitosis in a plant or animal |
Explain how surface area to volume ratio (or size) of named cells or organelles affects movement of materials in and out of cells and organelles and diffusion distance across a cell. |
Relate the cell shape / number and type of organelle to the overall role of the cell in an organism. (examples required) |
Discuss the role of photosynthesis and respiration in meeting the energy needs in plant and animal cells / organisms |
Relevant videos:
Cellular transportThis video gives an in depth description of the process of osmosis
This video is a basic overview for types of active and passive transport
|
EnzymesThis video is great, just don't forget that enzymes have a specific shape for their substrates
This video gives an introduction into what an enzyme is, how it works and some examples
|
DNA replicationThis video is a simple video, but you don't NEED to know about primers
This video gives a great BUT you do not need to know ALL the enzyme names
|
Cell cycle - MitosisThis video is of the cell cycle which is important for understanding cell processes
This video breaks down the process of mitosis to make it 'simple'
|
PhotosynthesisThis video gives an in depth overview of the reactions associated with photosynthesis
This video is above the level needed however gives a great picture of the process inside a cell
|
RespirationThis video is quite in depth, don't get caught up on the Crebs cycles
This video is above the level needed however gives a great picture of the process inside a cell

Revision:
No brain to small website is great for quick revision notes + activities: http://www.nobraintoosmall.co.nz/html/senior_biology/NCEA2_biology_cells.html
Pass Biology is also another great site which has comprehensive notes associated with videos: http://www.passbiology.co.nz/biology-level-2/cells
Pathwayz is an excellent mind map which has great resources associated with key concepts: https://www.pathwayz.org/Tree/Filter?tag=32&SubTree=PATHWAYZ#!c225,258,6
Awesome website to revise anything and everything about cells! Don't get too absorbed into the hard details, it's always handy to know more than you need to: http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cells/
Interactive website for movement of molecules across a membrane. You need to download The Concord Consortium's Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport in order for it to work
Fun games about cells that you can try out after studying: http://biomanbio.com/GamesandLabs/Cellgames/Cells.html
Crash course biology videos are perfect for revising over key concepts we have learnt: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX6b17PVsYBQ0ip5gyeme-Q
