15 slides covering animal and plant cells.
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
**4.1.1.2 Animal and plant cells **
Students should be able to explain how the main sub-cellular structures, including the nucleus, cell membranes, mitochondria, chloroplasts in plant cells and plasmids in bacterial cells are related to their functions.
Most animal cells have the following parts:
-a nucleus
-cytoplasm
-a cell membrane
-mitochondria
-ribosomes.
In addition to the parts found in animal cells, plant cells often have:
-chloroplasts
-a permanent vacuole filled with cell sap.
Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall made of cellulose, which strengthens the cell.
Students should be able to use estimations and explain when they should be used to judge the relative size or area of sub-cellular structures.

15 slides covering Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells .
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
**4.1.1.1 Eukaryotes and prokaryotes **
Plant and animal cells (eukaryotic cells) have a cell membrane, cytoplasm and genetic material enclosed in a nucleus.
Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) are much smaller in comparison. They have cytoplasm and a cell membrane surrounded by a cell wall. The genetic material is not enclosed in a nucleus. It is a single DNA loop and there may be one or more small rings of DNA called plasmids.
Students should be able to demonstrate an understanding of the scale and size of cells and be able to make order of magnitude calculations, including the use of standard form.

16 slides covering Osmosis .
By the end of the powerpoint students would have covered:
Water may move across cell membranes via osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
Students should be able to:
use simple compound measures of rate of water uptake
use percentages
calculate percentage gain and loss of mass of plant tissue.
Required practical activity 3: investigate the effect of a range of concentrations of salt or sugar solutions on the mass of plant tissue.
