Moving from the section of microscopes, we study the structure of the basic building block of all forms of life (namely, Cells).

In the first week of this section - Week 6 (Term 1) - we will focus on the potentially complex details of the Plant Cell - this is shown in a detailed (annotated) diagram in the Study Guide, and is further explained in your Slides.

In the second week of this section - Week 7 (Term 1) - we will look at the similar structure of the Animal Cell. We must identify differences between plant cells and animal cells, and in how each of them operates.

The concept of diffusion is explained - it is a very important process to understand.

As you progress through the study, keep answering the Questions in the Work Book - these must be completed and corrected.

Reminder: Keep referring to the Year Plan for this subject (given to you in your first set of notes on Apollo) to keep up-to-date with where you should be.
