Cell Processes
This is quite a varied topic with several subsections.
To understand cell processes you need to understand basic cell structure and function first. This is covered below.
Then you need to have some general background on Cell Biochemistry, also covered below. Neither of these topics are directly assessed, they are integrated into the main cell processes which you need to understand and study. You will be required to have a sound understanding of Enzymes and how they work.
The subsections you need to understand with some depth and which will be directly assessed are:
Cell Transport, Cell Respiration, Photosynthesis and Cell Division. There are links below to these pages on this website .

Cell Structures
In this section you will find information on the structure and function of cell organelles and some basics needed for the other sub sections of this topic.
This next clip goes through the basics of cell structure. It is quite fast paced, but worth a watch.
Next is a rather fun activity where you get to construct your own cells!!
The clip below runs for about 20 mins and takes you through both cell membrane stuff but also explains the main ways stuff is transported in and out of cells. the 2nd clip is a little more complex and is by Bozeman... watch him too if you wish to get another perspective. It's all good stuff!!
Find out all about what the organelles do in this interactive exercise below:
