In this unit of A Level Biology: Cells, we start by testing your knowledge of Eukaryotic Organelles. Extending on from the basics learnt at GCSE, this quiz expects you to be able to identify and give the detailed function from the familiar Nucleus, through to the newly introduced Golgi Body and Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum.
The next quiz then looks at Prokaryotic structure. Focusing predominantly on Bacteria, this quiz looks at the differences between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes; particularly looking at DNA and Binary Fission.
Your mathematical skill is tested in Magnification , with your ability to convert units, understand Order of Magnitude, and work out the magnification and Actual size of images shown. Following on from this, Microscopes and Fractionation tests your understanding of the difference between Scanning and Transmission Electron microscopes. It also, applies your knowledge of the technique of Cell fractionation, where centrifugation at different speeds is used to separate out organelles.
Eukaryotic Cell division is tested in the Mitosis quiz. Where you need to be able identify Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. You also need to understand the role of Interphase in the Cell Cycle.
Two quizzes are dedicated to the Plasma Membrane. You will need to know the structure of the Phosopholipid Bilayer,and how that relates to function. How different molecules can pass across the Membrane, is also tested and again links into other units further on in A Level Biology.
Lastly we look at the Immune response : both the cellular response via T cells, and the Humoral response via B cells. The role of antibodies is tested both with in the Immune Response, but also in a second quiz on Monoclonal Antibodies.
