Cell structure and functions of cell components: WAEC Biology Past Questions and Answers

What the WAEC syllabus covers in Cell structure and functions of cell components

Our summary: The parts of a cell, what each organelle does, and how plant and animal cells compare.

  • Cell structure and functions of cell components (Cell structure should include: cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm, cytoplasmic organelles: mitochondria, lysosomes, chloroplasts, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, centrosomes, Golgi bodies, chromosomes. The function performed by organelles should be known.)
  • Similarities and differences between plant and animal cells
