3.2.1.1 Structure of eukaryotic cells

Content	Opportunities for skills development
$The structure of eukaryotic cells, restricted to the structure and function of: cell-surface membrane nucleus (containing chromosomes, consisting of protein-bound, linear DNA, and one or more nucleoli) mitochondria chloroplasts (in plants and algae) Golgi apparatus and Golgi vesicles lysosomes (a membrane-bound organelle that releases hydrolytic enzymes) ribosomes rough endoplasmic reticulum and smooth endoplasmic reticulum cell wall (in plants, algae and fungi) cell vacuole (in plants). In complex multicellular organisms, eukaryotic cells become specialised for specific functions. Specialised cells are organised into tissues, tissues into organs and organs into systems. Students should be able to apply their knowledge of these features in explaining adaptations of eukaryotic cells.$
