(e) compare and contrast the structure of typical animal and plant cells.

(d) outline the functions of the membrane systems and organelles listed in (c).

(c) describe and interpret drawings and photographs of typical animal and plant cells, as seen under the electron microscope, recognising the following membrane systems and organelles: rough and smooth endoplasmic reticula, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, chloroplasts, plasma/cell surface membrane, nuclear envelope, centrioles, nucleus and nucleolus.

(b) explain and distinguish between resolution and magnification, with reference to light microscopy and electron microscopy.

(a) use an eyepice graticule and stage micrometer to measure cells and be familiar with units (millimetre, micrometre, nanometre) used in cell studies.
