Cell material is material that is considered difficult for students, especially regarding cell structure for both female students and male students. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the ability to understand concepts and students' gender regarding cell material. The research was conducted at SMAN I Pasirpenyu in class XI IPA which consisted of 34 students. This study uses a quantitative associative method. The data collection technique in this study was in the form of a written test. The data analysis technique uses three main steps, namely data description, assumption test and conclusion drawing.
