The basic forms are:
- aquest = this (masculine singular)
- aquesta = this (feminine singular)
- aquests = these (masculine plural)
- aquestes = these (feminine plural)

Yes. In Catalan, grammatical gender is not always obvious from the ending. While many feminine nouns do end in -a, plenty do not. Part is a feminine noun, so it takes feminine words with it:
- aquesta part
- la part
- una part
This is something you often just have to learn with the noun.
