Post enrolment work -This work needs to be brought with you to your FIRST lesson.
Cells are the basic unit of all living things; all living things are made up of cells.
The cell contains many specialised organelles each of which carry out a particular function.
You will need to refer to these organelles throughout the 2 years of your course.
Task A- Using the associated PDF file, complete the function box for all the organelles.

Task B- Using the table you have just completed label the animal and plant cells below.
Task C – Using the information you have already completed to fill in the table.
Organelles present ONLY in animal cells
Organelles present ONLY in plant cells
You MUST learn all the information on these sheets for the first lesson back.
Some recent exam questions
1 Give one structural difference between each of the following
.
Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum and Rough Endoplasmic reticulum
Chloroplasts and mitochondria
2
.
(b)
3
.
4. At the end of each exam paper there is a choice of long question worth 10 marks. One example is:‘Compare the structure and function of mitochondria and a chloroplast ‘
Using the following words complete the Venn to show similarities and differences (use one colour for
structures and another for functions): This would make a really good plan.
Plasma membrane
Stroma
Site of photosynthesis
Cristae - provide a large
surface area for enzyme
attachment
Contain starch grains
Ribosomes
Produce ATP
Double membrane
Thylakoids
Matrix
Site of aerobic respiration
Chlorophyll
Circular DNA
Mitochondrion
Self-replicating
Stacks of membranes called
grana
Chloroplast
