Biology explained: every letsBug biology post

Cells, osmosis and why cells stay small, explained with diagrams and real numbers. Each post goes with a letsBug video and ends with practice questions.

  1. Animal Cell vs Plant Cell: Differences, Table and Diagram: Animal cell vs plant cell, part by part: a clear difference table, a labelled diagram, magnification maths and the common mix-ups.
  2. Why are cells so small? Surface area to volume ratio: Why are cells so small? Work out the surface area to volume ratio of cubes (6:1, 3:1, 2:1), why it limits diffusion and how lungs get round it.
  3. Osmosis Potato Practical: Percentage Change in Mass: What is osmosis? Why salt pulls water out of a cucumber, the potato practical with percentage change in mass, and osmosis vs active transport.
