Explain Cell theory

A

All living organisms are made of one or more cells
The cells are basic unit of structure, function and organization in all organisms
All cells come from pre-existing, living cells

Q

What are the 3 main characteristics of cell membrane and their functions?

A
  1. Differentials permeable - control materials in and out of the cell
  2. Flexible - can become bigger and smaller
  3. Mainly made up of lipid molecules - enclose the cell and separate the cell contents from outside

What are 3 structures that can be found in plants only?

A

Cell wall
Chloroplast
Large vacuole

18
Q

What are the 2 characteristic of cell wall and its function?

A

Made up of cellulose rigid - give shape to cell and support to plant
Fully permeable - allow materials go in and out of the cell

19

What is the characteristic of chloroplast!

A

Contains chlorophyll - absorb light for photosynthesis

20
Q

What is the 2 characteristic of Large vacuole and its function?

A
