Growth in Organisms: Growth, Charts & Cell Differentiation

Today we are covering Edexcel GCSE Biology Topic two point two: growth in organisms. This follows neatly from cell division, because growth depends on new cells being made by mitosis. But growth is not just about adding more cells. To explain it properly, you also need cell differentiation, and in plants you need one extra idea: cell elongation.

Growth in Organisms: Growth, charts and cell differentiation

Episode guide

This episode covers Edexcel GCSE Biology Topic 2.2, Growth in Organisms. It explains how growth is defined, how animals and plants grow, how growth charts are used, and why cell differentiation is needed for multicellular organisms.
You will revise:
  • Growth as a permanent increase in size or mass
  • Mitosis and differentiation as growth processes in both animals and plants
  • Cell elongation in plants, including the role of auxin
  • Reading growth charts and interpreting percentile lines
  • How active genes lead to specialised cell structures and functions
  • The difference between differentiation in animals and plants
