Students should understand that meiosis leads to non-identical cells
being formed while mitosis leads to identical cells being formed.
Sexual reproduction involves the joining (fusion) of male and female
gametes:
• sperm and egg cells in animals
• pollen and egg cells in flowering plants.
In sexual reproduction there is mixing of genetic information which leads
to variety in the offspring. The formation of gametes involves meiosis.
Asexual reproduction involves only one parent and no fusion of gametes.
There is no mixing of genetic information. This leads to genetically
identical offspring (clones). Only mitosis is involved.
Interactive Trivia. Useful For AFL or Revision
Students should be able to explain how the main sub-cellular structures,
including the nucleus, cell membranes, mitochondria, chloroplasts in
plant cells and plasmids in bacterial cells are related to their functions.
Most animal cells have the following parts:
• a nucleus
• cytoplasm
• a cell membrane
• mitochondria
• ribosomes.
In addition to the parts found in animal cells, plant cells often have:
• chloroplasts
• a permanent vacuole filled with cell sap.
Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, which

Students should be able to explain that homeostasis is the regulation
of the internal conditions of a cell or organism to maintain optimum
conditions for function in response to internal and external changes.
Homeostasis maintains optimal conditions for enzyme action and all cell
functions.
In the human body, these include control of:
• blood glucose concentration
• body temperature
• water levels.
These automatic control systems may involve nervous responses or
chemical responses.
All control systems include:
• cells called receptors, which detect stimuli (changes in the
environment)
• coordination centres (such as the brain, spinal cord and pancreas)
that receive and process information from receptors
• effectors, muscles or glands, which bring about responses which
restore optimum levels.
