Q

What does cell sap contains?

A

Water,organic acids,sugars,amino acids,enzymes,mineral salts,oxygen,carbon dioxide,metabolic by-products

17
Q

What does cytoplasm consists of

A

jelly-like medium that contains the components of the suspended cells

18
Q

What does cytoplasm contains?

A

Organic compounds e.g protein, lipid and carbohydrate and inorganic compound e.g potassium ions

19
Q

Function of cell wall

A

Maintains the shape and provides mechanical supports to plant cell

20
Q

Function of Chloroplast

A

Absorbs sunlight and convert it to chemical energy during photosynthesis

21
Q

Similarities of plant cell and animal cells

A

Both cells are made of nucleus, cytoplasm, plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes

22
Q

How does Amoeba sp. moves?

A

By extending its pseudopodium/pseudopodia

23
Q

How does Paramecium sp. moves?

A

Using rhythmic cilia beats

24
Q

How does Amoeba sp. gets food?

A

Amoeba sp. moves toward food by extends its pseudopodium to traps food particles by phagocytosis

25
Q

How does Paramecium sp. gets food?

A

Paramecium sp. get its food by using the presence of cilia beat to help transfer food particles into the oral groove

26
Q

How does both Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp. grow?

A

By synthesising new cytoplasm

27
Q

How does Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp. responds to stimuli?

A

By moving away from the stimuli

28
Q

One process that is present in the respiration of Unicellular Organisms?

A

Simple Diffusion

29
Q

Explain the process of osmoregulation

A

Waste are removed by diffusion and water will diffuse in by osmosis into the contractile vacuole until it is filled. The vacuole then expands to the maximum size and contraction occurs,thus water is excreted from time to time.

30
Q

If the conditions is suitable and there is plenty of food,how will Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp. reproduce?

A

via asexual reproduction that is binary fission through mitosis

31
Q

If the condition are not suitable,how does Amoeba sp. and Paramecium sp. reproduce?

A

Amoeba sp. will form spores while Paramecium sp. will undergo conjugation
