Biology 9700/22 — February/March 2023

Table 1.1 lists cell structures that can be found in eukaryotic cells or prokaryotic cells. Some of these cell structures can be found in both types of cell.

Complete the table using a tick (✓) to show that the cell structure can be present in a particular type of cell and a cross (✗) to show that the cell structure cannot be present.

Put a tick or a cross in every box.

The top row has been completed for you.

Table 1.1

All cells have a cell surface membrane. Fig. 1.1 shows a transmission electron micrograph of part of two adjacent animal cells, cell 1 and cell 2.

In the space provided, draw a diagram of the region in the box labelled R on Fig. 1.1. Your diagram should show the four dark lines.

Label the diagram to identify what is shown by the dark lines and each of the three spaces between them.

Mitogens are short chains of amino acids that function as cell-signalling molecules. Mitogens are released from secretory cells and travel in the blood to target cells, where the mitogens bind to cell surface receptors. The target cells respond by progressing from the $G_1$ phase to the S phase of the mitotic cell cycle.
