Multi cellular organisms

16
Q

Examples of plants

A

Maize
Peas
Whisk fern

17
Q

What are the characteristics of an animal cell?

A
Do not contain chloroplasts, so it can't carry out photosynthesis.

20
Q

What is the Structure of cell?

A

Basic structural and functional unit of a living organism

21
Q

Function of tissue

A

Group of cells with similar structures, working together to perform a shared function.

22
Q

Function of an organ

A

Structure made up of a group of tissues, working together to perform specific function.

23
Q

Function of organ system

A

Group of organs with related functions, working together to perform body functions

24
What organisms are red blood cells found in?
Found in blood vessels and animals.
25
What is the role of red blood cells and what is special about them?
Carry oxygen around the body. | They are special because they have a large surface area, for oxygen to pass through. It is biconcave.
26
What organisms are nerve cells found in?
All over the body and in animals
27
What is the nerve cells role?
Carries nerve impulses to different parts of the body.
28
What special features do nerve cells have?
It is long | There are connections at each end
29
What organisms are palisade cells found in (leaf)?
Found in a leaf of a plant
30
What is the palisade cells role?
Photosynthesis
31
What special features does the palisade have?
They have lots of chloroplasts
32
What organisms are sperm found in?
Male reproductive system
33
What is the sperms role?
Genetical information and carries DNA. Fertilises the egg.
34
What special features does the sperm have?
Tail stream lined lots of mitochondria for energy.
35
What organisms are root hair cells found in?
Plant roots
36
What is the role of a root hair cell?
It absorbs water and nutrients
37
What special features does root hair have?
A large surface area to help absorb. Thin cell walls.
