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.

Plans for: To what extent does genetic inheritance play a role in one behaviour? (22 marks) Evaluate research on neuroplasticity. (22 marks) Discuss the role of hormones and/or pheromones on behaviour. (22 marks) including topic sentences, study summaries, evaluations etc

I completed this resource as part of an Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care. I received a Distinction in this unit and an overall of DDD*.

This is a filled in summary grid of all the content from the CLOA and the SCLOA, this was used to get a 7 in the IB.

Here is a document used to revision for the IB HL exams, it has a glossary (from ThinkIB) as well as key studies, definitions and evaluations for every point on the Paper 1 Specification. I chose to answer the CLOA essay regardless of what the question was so there is more detail there.

I was awarded an A for this reflective project on the ethics relating to elective caesarean sections.
