Cell Structure AQA GCSE Biology revision PowerPoint

A one-topic revision summary for AQA GCSE Biology Paper 1, Cell Biology. It compares eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, sorts the organelles into animal only, plant only and both, labels a bacterial cell and explains how specialised cells such as red blood cells, sperm cells, nerve cells, root hair cells and palisade cells are adapted to their jobs.

What the PowerPoint covers

  1. Eukaryotic vs prokaryotic cells: a side by side table of size, DNA, organelles and cell walls.
  2. Animal and plant cells: which organelles are found in both, in animal cells only and in plant cells only, and what each one does.
  3. Bacterial cell structure: a labelled diagram with circular DNA, plasmids, ribosomes, cell wall, capsule and flagellum.
  4. Specialised cells: six cells and the adaptations that suit each one to its function.
  5. Key vocabulary and exam tips: the definitions examiners look for and the mistakes to avoid.

Who it is for

GCSE biology and combined science students (Foundation and Higher) revising Cell Biology, and teachers who want a ready made summary for a recap starter, homework or revision lesson. Written for the AQA specification, and just as useful for other exam boards.
