Spaced Learning Session 1 Life Processes
Spaced Learning Session 1 Life Processes
Spaced Learning is a technique based on the brains biology and designed to maximise the potential for memory lay-down. Use the following slides as outlined below:
1. Move through the content slides. Students should sit passively, not make notes or ask questions. Explain to them what you are planning to do before beginning. Allow students a 5 minutes break (I usually time them) during which they must do something creative and or physical (jog, conger around the room, draw, use mini whiteboards, Rubiks cubes etc). They are not permitted to discuss or think about the content recently covered.

Session 1
Life Processes
MRS NERG + C
All living organisms carry out the 8 life processes:
Movement Respiration Sensitivity Nutrition Excretion Reproduction Growth Control
Animal Cells
Plant Cells
Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Mitochondria Ribosomes Cell Wall Chloroplast Vacuole
Organelle Nucleus
Cytoplasm
Cell Membrane Mitochondri a
Jelly-like substance that fills the cell Site of most chemical reactions
Contain cell contents Control what enters and exits the cell Site of Aerobic Respiration
Plant cells only Support and maintain cell structure Plant cells only Site of Photosynthesis
Plant cells only Storage of sugars, salts etc. Cell sap Small organelles that synthesise protein
Bacteria
Cytoplasm Cell Membrane Cell Wall No Nucleus Free-floating DNA Plasmids Flagella
Yeast
Nucleus Cell Membrane Cytoplasm Cell Wall Bread Beer Anaerobic Respiration Fermentation
Specialised Cells
Cells can be adapted to make them good at doing a particular job Examples include:
Sperm cells Red blood cells Nerve cells Palisade cells Root hair cells
Diffusion
The movement of gas or liquid molecules High concentration (where there are many) to low concentration (where there are few) Down the concentration gradient
Osmosis
The movement of water molecules From a high concentration to a low concentration
Active Transport
When cells must move materials in an opposite direction - against a concentration gradient. Requires Energy!
