An example of the document: Topic 1: Cell Biology Describe the characteristics of stem cells that make them potentially useful in medicine. [5] (stem cells) have/retain the capacity to divide; can be used to produce cell cultures/large number of identical cells; can be used to repair/replace damaged/lost cells/tissue; (stem cells) are undifferentiated / have not yet differentiated/specialized; can differentiate/specialize in different ways / are pluripotent/totipotent; can be used to form a variety of different tissues / form organs; used in medical research; used in treatment of (named) disease; Draw a labelled diagram to show the structure of membranes. [5] phospholipid bilayer – with head and tails; hydrophilic/phosphate/polar heads and hydrophobic/hydrocarbon/fatty acid/ non-polar tails labelled; integral protein – embedded in hydrophobic region of the phospholipid bilayer; channel protein – integral protein showing clear channel/pore; peripheral protein – on the surface (not embedded in hydrophobic region) can be attached to integral protein; glycoprotein – with carbohydrate attached on outside; cholesterol – shown embedded in bilayer; Explain the importance of surface area to volume ratio as a factor limiting cell size. [7] as volume of a cell increases, the ratio of its surface area to volume decreases; food/oxygen enters through the surface of cells; wastes leave through the surface of cells; the rate of substance crossing the membrane depends on surface area; more metabolic activity in a larger cell means more food and oxygen required; large volume means longer diffusion time; (large volume) means more wastes produced; excess heat generated will not be lost efficiently (with low surface area to volume ratio); eventually surface area can no longer serve the requirements of the cell; this critical ratio stimulates mitosis; (thus) the size of the cell is reduced and kept within size limits; Draw a labelled diagram of a prokaryotic cell. [5] a. cell wall – uniformly thick and drawn outside the plasma membrane; b. plasma membrane – a continuous single line; c. cytoplasm/cytosol; d. nucleoid/(naked) DNA – shown as a tangle of thread or irregular shape without a nuclear membrane; e. (70S) ribosomes – drawn as a small circle or dark dot; f. pili – hair like structures / flagellum – shown to be longer than any pili; g. plasmid – circular ring of DNA; h. capsule – drawn outside the cell wall; Award [1] for each structure clearly drawn and labelled which conforms to the italicized guidelines given above.

AQA A Level Psychology ALL Content (AO1+AO3) Content for all of paper 1 A2 and AS content. Sample: AO1: CBT Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the main psychological treatment used to treat people suffering from depression and was first introduced by Ellis’ as REBT (rational emotive behavioural therapy). CBT assumes that maladaptive thoughts and beliefs cause and maintain depression in individuals. CBT focuses on helping patients identify and change these maladaptive thought processes with the belief that changing thinking will then change behaviour and emotions, as this is seen to be generated by thinking. Behavioural activation is based on the idea that being active will lead to more positive rewards that will help alleviate depressive symptoms. Many depressed people become withdrawn and do not engage in previously pleasurable activities and with the help of the therapist, the patient identifies enjoyable activities and encourages the patient to challenge any negative thoughts they may have in regards to them to help them become active again. AO3: CBT A major issue of whether CBT is appropriate for some patients is the time and cost factor. Another issue into the effectiveness of CBT is down to the skill level of the therapist themselves. A strength of CBT which makes it more appropriate and effective is that the therapy has no side effects, unlike drug therapies. Another strength of CBT is it seen to treat the root cause of depression which is psychological in nature, unlike drug therapies which may simply mask and treat the symptoms. A study by Rush et al showed CBT is just as effective as antidepressants in treating depression while by Keller et al found it is most effective when used in conjunction with antidepressants.
