1. Key Ideas

No new content. This lesson consolidates, connects, and stress-tests everything across the module. Work through every section — identify gaps, revisit weak areas, and practise under exam conditions.

Unicellular / colonial / multicellular

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

Unicellular / colonial / multicellular
Cell specialisation — same DNA, different gene expression
4 animal tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous

3. Key Terms

principle that diffusion rateproportional to surface area and concentration difference, and inversely proportional to membrane thickness
