Muscle cell structure and function

A

Contains bands of protein that change shape to contract and relax

40
Q

Root hair structure and function

Q

Why don’t animals need chloroplasts

A

The function of chloroplasts is to photosynthesise to produce glucose. Animal cells do not need to undergo the process of photosynthesis

Q

The modern cell theory

A

All living things are made up of cells
The cell is the basic structure and function unit of all living things
All cells come from pre-existing cells through cell division
