IGCSE BIOLOGY
UNIT 2: ORGANISATION OF THE ORGANISM
Before you start you can look back at 7A Cells.
This unit builds on your previous knowledge about cell structure and specialised cells. You will then learn about how substances move in and out of cells. If you only remember one thing: PLANT AND ANIMAL CELLS HAVE CELL MEMBRANE, CYTOPLASM AND NUCLEUS |
This is the second of the 21 Biology units:
