This fully-resourced lesson describes the ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells and the role of the RER and Golgi apparatus in protein transport. The engaging and detailed PowerPoint and accompanying exam-question worksheets (which are all differentiated) have been primarily designed to cover point 3.2 of the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (Salters Nuffield) specification but also covers 3.1 which states that students should know that living organisms are made of cells, sharing some common features
As cells are the building blocks of living organisms, it makes sense that they would be heavily involved in all of the 8 topics in the Edexcel course and intricate planning has ensured that these links to previously covered topics as well as upcoming ones are made throughout the lesson. A wide range of activities, that include exam-style questions, class discussion points and quick quiz competitions, will maintain motivation and engagement whilst covering the finer details of the following structures:
- nucleus
- nucleolus
- centrioles
- ribosomes
- rough endoplasmic reticulum
- Golgi apparatus
- lysosomes
- smooth endoplasmic reticulum
- mitochondria
- cell surface membrane
As mentioned above, all of the worksheets have been differentiated to support students of differing abilities whilst maintaining challenge
Due to the detail that is included in this lesson, it is estimated that it will take in excess of 3 hours of allocated A-level teaching time to go through all of the tasks

Topic 3: Voice of the Genome (Edexcel SNAB)
This bundle contains 13 detailed lesson PowerPoints, which together with their accompanying resources, have been planned to include a wide variety of tasks that will engage and motivate the students whilst covering the content of topic 3 of the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (Salters Nuffield) specification. The voice of the genome topic content includes key biological concepts such as eukaryotic cells, cell division and genetics and the following specification points are covered by these lessons: * All living organisms are made of cells, sharing common features * The ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells and the role of the organelles * The role of the rER and the Golgi body in protein transport * The relationship between the features of the mammalian gametes and their functions * The loci is the location of a gene on a chromosome * The linkage of genes on a chromosome and sex linkage * The role of meiosis in ensuring genetic variation * The role of mitosis and the cell cycle * The meaning of the terms stem cell, pluripotency and totipotency * The decisions about the use of stem cells in medical therapies * The specialisation of cells through differential gene expression * Understand how the cells of multicellular organisms are organised into tissues, tissues into organs and organs into systems * Phenotype is the interaction between genotype and the environment * Epigenetic changes can modify the activation of certain genes * Some phenotypes are affected by multiple alleles for the same gene at many loci as well as the environment and this gives rise to continuous variation If you would like to sample the quality of lessons in this bundle, then download the ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells, mitosis and the cell cycle and gene expression lessons as these have been uploaded for free
The ultrastructure of cells (Edexcel SNAB)
This lesson bundle contains 7 lessons which have been designed to cover the Pearson Edexcel A-level Biology A (Salters Nuffield) specification points which focus on the structure of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells and the functions of their components. The lesson PowerPoints are highly detailed, and along with the accompanying worksheets, they have been planned at length to contain a wide range of engaging tasks which cover the following A-level Biology content found in topics 2, 3 and 4 of the course: 2.2 (i): Know the structure and function of cell membranes 3.1: Know that all living organisms are made of cells, sharing some common features 3.2: Know the ultrastructure of eukaryotic cells, including nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes, rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, centrioles, lysosomes, and Golgi apparatus 3.3: Understand the role of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER) and the Golgi apparatus in protein transport within cells, including their role in the formation of extracellular enzymes 3.4: Know the ultrastructure of prokaryotic cells, including cell wall, capsule, plasmid, flagellum, pili, ribosomes, mesosomes and circular DNA 3.6: Understand how mammalian gametes are specialised for their functions (including the acrosome in sperm and the zona pellucida in the egg) 3.13: Understand how the cells of multicellular organisms are organised into tissues, tissues into organs and organs into systems 4.7: Know the ultrastructure of plant cells (cell walls, chloroplasts, amyloplasts, vacuole, tonoplast, plasmodesmata, pits and middle lamella) and be able to compare it with animal cells.

This is an excellent resource (as are all the GJH resources I've used). I am hoping that GJH is monitoring his/her feedback as I have a question. Do you have any Edexcel biology A (SNAB) revision resources. I bought your revision resources for OCR when I was teaching that and I like them a lot. It would be great if you had some SNAB ones. (TES doesn't give you a way to contact authors or make suggestions to them.) If you reply to this feedback the website send your reply.
