Bridging Projects: Bridging the gap between GCSE and AS Level Sciences

Biology Bridging Project

Part 1: Cell Structure

The first part of AS Biology looks at the structure of cells in more detail than you have learnt already, it will feel like you are bombarded with new terminology so use this time to recap what you have learnt at GCSE and familiarise yourself with some new terms!

Download and complete the worksheet below.

Watch this video.

With all the additional new words you have looked at – find a diagram of a more complex animal and plant cell, draw and label.

What is the difference between a prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell?

To really get familiar with some of these terms – construct a model of an animal or plant cell of AS standard i.e. using all the new cell organelles to help you learn what they look like.

Part 2: Transport in Cells

You learn about the movement of molecules into and out of cells, alongside the detailed structure of the cell membrane.

Follow the links and recap what diffusion is:

Click here and here

What is diffusion? Explain in as much detail as possible.

Give some examples of where diffusion would occur, to include one example in animals, plants and any other you can think of.

What is meant by a partially permeable membrane?

What is osmosis?

What happens to plant cells that take up water by osmosis?

What happens to plant cells that lose water by osmosis?

What is active transport?

Where does the energy come from for active transport?

Can you: Try and find an animation that helps to explain active transport?
