Question 3

Movement

Answer 3

? Animals can move from place to place.

? Plants do not move from place to place.They move when they grow or when a flower opens and closes its petals.

Question 4

Respiration

Question 5

Organisms

Answer 5

? Living things

Question 6

Sensitivity

Answer 6

Question 7

Feeding

Reproduction is being able to make new individuals of the same kind. E.g. babies, new plants, puppies.

Question 11

Growth

Question 13

Nucleus:

Answer 13

Is normally round. It acts as the control centre of the cell. It has the DNA.

Question 14

Cyctoplasm:

Answer 14

The watery liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane.

Question 15

Mitochondria:

Answer 15

Supply energy to the cell.

Question 16

Cell wall:

Answer 16

Found outside the cell membrane of a plant cell. Gives strength to the cell.

Question 17

Vacuole:

Answer 17

Space containing water, sugar and wastes - gives strength to the cell.

Question 18

Chloroplasts:

Answer 18

Contain chlorophyll to help make food using sunlight (photosynthesis).
