What examiners said
Almost all candidates could identify the cell wall. The few that did not score often wrote cell membrane (despite it being already labelled on the diagram) or cellulose.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/33 Q1(a) (Cambridge)
Many candidates knew the role of the cell membrane and expressed it clearly. However, many seemed to think it offered protection or support to the cell. It was also a common misconception that the function was to prevent or control other cells entering the cell.
— Examiner report, May/June 2025, 0654/33 Q1(b) (Cambridge)
Part C was correctly identified by many candidates as a chloroplast. Mitochondria was a common incorrect response.
