A-Level Biology - Plant, Algal & Fungal Cells - Structure & Function (2026/27 exams)

⭐️ Check out our website https://www.cognito.org/ ⭐️ ** WHAT'S COVERED ** 1. The structure and function of organelles in eukaryotic plant cells. An overview of organelles shared with animal cells. A detailed look at the structures unique to plant cells. 2. The plant cell wall. Its composition of cellulose. Its functions in providing support, maintaining shape, and preventing bursting. The role of plasmodesmata in connecting adjacent cells. 3. The structure and function of chloroplasts. Their role as the site of photosynthesis. A breakdown of their internal structure including stroma, thylakoids, and grana. 4. The structure and function of the permanent vacuole. The composition of cell sap and the role of the surrounding tonoplast. Its functions in storing nutrients and maintaining pressure to keep the cell turgid. 5. A comparison of plant, algal, and fungal cells. Differences in cell wall composition (cellulose vs chitin). The presence or absence of key organelles like chloroplasts. ** CHAPTERS ** 0:00 Introduction to Plant, Algal & Fungal Cells 0:25 Organelles Shared with Animal Cells 0:52 Structures Unique to Plant Cells 1:17 Plant Cell Wall Structure and Function 2:13 Chloroplast Structure and Function 3:16 Permanent Vacuole Structure and Function 4:03 Comparing Plant, Algal, and Fungal Cells ** PLAYLISTS **    • KS3 Biology      • KS3 Chemistry      • GCSE Maths (9-1)      • GCSE Biology (9-1)      • GCSE Chemistry (9-1)      • GCSE Physics (9-1)      • A-Level Biology   #Alevel #Biology #study #revision #school #exam #AQA #OCR #Edexcel #IB #AP
