1- movement. 2- respiration. 3- sensitivity. 4- growth. 5- reproduction. 6- excretion. 7- nutrition.

10

What is a word for an organism with only one cell ?

Unicellular

10

Name the two types of microscopes.

1- light microscope. 2- electron microscope

10

How many times can a good light microscope magnify ?

A very good light microscope can magnify up to 1500 times(x1500).

10

Up to how much can an electron microscope magnify?

An electron microscope is able to magnify up to 10 million times. (x10 million)

10

What is the formula for magnification ?

Magnification = size in drawing or photograph / size of the real object

10

What is the cell membrane made out of?

Protein and fat

10

Are cell membranes present in all organisms ?

Yes

10

Is the cell membrane permeable or partially permeable?

Partially permeable (it is a very thin layer)

10

What is a cell wall made of ?

Cellulose

10

Do animals have a cell wall?

No

10

Why are cell walls important?

It stops the cell from bursting if it absorbs a lot of water.

10

Are cell walls fully permeable or not permeable ?

Cell walls are fully permeable; because of the spaces between fibers of crisscrossed cellulose which allows even larger molecules to go through.

10

What is the percentage of water in cells ?

70%

10

In which part of the cell do metabolic reactions occur/take place?
