Scaling up

For an organism to function, substances must move into and out of cells. Three processes contribute to this movement - diffusion, osmosis and active transport.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying transport in and out of cells.

Mitosis is cell division which produces two identical diploid cells for growth and repair. Differentiation occurs when cells become specialised. Stem cells can develop into different cell types.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology (single science) students studying cells and the different cell types.

This interactive quiz is suitable for GCSE Biology students studying cell division and the process of mitosis.

Learn about the process of mitosis with this guide and interactive activity from BBC Bitesize written to the GCSE Cambridge OCR Gateway biology specification.

Larger animals have a lower surface area to volume ratio. This means they need transport systems like our circulatory system and exchange surfaces like our lungs or fish gills.

During transpiration plants move water from the roots to their leaves for photosynthesis in xylem vessels. Glucose made in photosynthesis is then moved to all cells in phloem vessels for respiration.

Understanding how to approach exam questions helps to boost exam performance. Question types will include multiple choice, structured, mathematical and practical questions.
