IB Biology A2.2.9 Atypical cell structure
IB Biology syllabusBiology SL/HLFirst assessment 2025

Practise recognising atypical cells from nuclei, compartments and organelles in red blood cells, sieve tubes, muscle fibres and fungal hyphae.

How this is tested

  • explain why red blood cells or sieve tube elements are atypical because they lack nuclei
  • compare striated muscle and aseptate fungal hyphae by their multiple nuclei
  • state how atypical cells challenge simple statements of cell theory
