what you need to know!
Life processes at the cellular level include:
- photosynthesis
- respiration
- cell division (DNA replication and mitosis as part of the cell cycle).
- movement of materials (including diffusion, osmosis, active transport)
- enzyme activity (specific names of enzymes are not required)
- factors affecting the process
- details of the processes only as they relate to the overall functioning of the cell (specific names of stages are not required)
- reasons for similarities and differences between cells such as cell size and shape, and type and number of organelles present.
Cells include plant cells and animal cells.
