describe the transport of water from the soil to the xylem through the: • apoplast pathway, including reference to lignin and cellulose • symplast pathway, including reference to the endodermis, Casparian strip and suberin
describe the molecular structure of the polysaccharide cellulose and outline how the arrangement of cellulose molecules contributes to the function of plant cell walls
describe the behaviour of chromosomes in plant and animal cells during the mitotic cell cycle and the associated behaviour of the nuclear envelope, the cell surface membrane and the spindle (names of the main stages of mitosis are expected: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase)
