GCSE Biology 01: Cell Biology
PublicA complete GCSE Cell Biology deck that takes you from basic cell types and organelles through microscopy and magnification, mitosis and meiosis, and transport processes like diffusion and active transport. It also covers metabolism, enzymes and respiration, how cells build into organs and systems (including digestive and gas exchange), key health and microbiology practicals, plus photosynthesis, plant transport, and how the immune system works (white blood cells, vaccination and monoclonal antibodies).
What's included in this GCSE Biology 01: Cell Biology deck
- Cell structure: prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, organelles and their functions
- Cell division: mitosis, meiosis, stem cells and differentiation
- Transport in cells: diffusion, osmosis and active transport
- Enzymes: lock and key model, factors affecting enzyme activity
- Respiration: aerobic and anaerobic respiration, oxygen debt
- Photosynthesis: limiting factors, leaf structure and adaptations
- Organisation: tissues, organs and organ systems in plants and animals
- Required practicals: microscopy, osmosis, enzymes and photosynthesis
Who this GCSE Biology 01: Cell Biology deck is for

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cell Biology topics are covered?
The deck covers cell structure (prokaryotic and eukaryotic), cell division, cell transport, enzymes, respiration, photosynthesis, organisation into tissues and organs, and all the required practicals.
Is this deck suitable for all GCSE Biology exam boards?
Yes. The content aligns with AQA, Edexcel and OCR GCSE Biology specifications, covering the core Cell Biology content common to all boards.
Does this deck cover required practicals?
Yes. Cards are included for microscopy, osmosis in plant tissue, enzyme activity, and photosynthesis rate experiments – all commonly examined required practicals.
How should I use this alongside revision?
Use the flashcards daily for active recall, then apply what you learn by attempting past paper questions. The spaced repetition will help you retain key facts long-term.
