Answer 5

Tissue

Question 6

What do large amounts of tissue make ?

Answer 6

Organs

Question 7

What do organs form?

Answer 7

They form organ systems of multicellular organisms.

Question 8

How to correctly calculate the total calculation of the magnification?

Answer 8

Times the eye lens and the objective lens together to get the total magnification

Question 9

What happens if you put the microscope on a low magnification

Answer 9

The image looks small less detailed and allows you to see the whole thing

Question 10

What happens if the magnification of the microscope is on high power

Answer 10

The magnification would be bigger more detailed and you would only be able to look at part of the full image.

Question 11

What does the nucleus do

Answer 11

The nucleus acts like the brain of the cell

Question 12

What does a cell wall do

Answer 12

Protects the organelles inside the cell of a plant cell and gives structured support.

Question 13

What does a Cell membrane do

Answer 13

A cell wall protects the organelles in an animal cell

Question 14

What does cytoplasm do

Answer 14

Cytoplasm holds the organelles.

Question 15

What do Mitochondria do

Answer 15

Mitochondria supplies energy to the cell through respiration

Question 16

What does chloroplast do

Answer 16

Chloroplast captures energy from uv rays

Question 17

What does the Vacuole do.

Answer 17

The vacuole stores waste and other materials that are harmful.

Question 18

What do animal cells have exclusive

Answer 18

They have centrosome and lysosomes whereas plant cells do not

Question 19

What do plant cells exclusively have

Answer 19

They have a cell wall, chloroplasts and other specialized plastids, and a large central vacuole, whereas animal cells do not.

Question 20

What does photosynthesis do

Answer 20

Photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide which is harmful to humans, and releases oxygen which is what humans need to survive

Question 21

Why is respiration important

Answer 21

Respiration is important because it provides the energy for living organisms to perform all of the other necessary functions to maintain life.

Question 22

Word equation for photosynthesis

Answer 22

Carbon dioxide + water. –> Glucose + oxygen

Sunlight

Question 23

Word process of respiration

Answer 23

glucose (sugar) + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + energy (as ATP)

Question 24

How are new cells produced

Answer 24

New cells are produced through cell devision

Budding
Sending out runners
Binary Fission
Fragmentation
Parthenogenesis

Question 28

Why is the human reproductive system so important

Answer 28

Its so important because it ensures the survival of a species.
