A Level Biology Paper 3 Practise Essay

This is a past essay title from a previous paper 3, the question is:

The control of processes in cells and the importance of these controls.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can write about for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated :smile:

Think what processes go on in cells that need to be controlled .
So things such as
DNA replication
Protein synthesis
Cell cycle
Cellular respiration
Along those lines.

Maybe talk about cell membrane structure as that controls what goes in and out and explain in depth the channel proteins phosphokipid bilayer etc.
Then maybe talk about some enzyme controlled reactions like enzymes in respiration or in DNA replication or in photosynthesus

You can talk about cell division and methylation as that controls how much cell division and without it cell division can't be stopped

You could maybe talk about infections like HIV and how sirna can maybe stop the replication of the infected cell base sequence on Mrna preventing hiv replicating so the organism doesn't die.
