Cell
The smallest part of a living organism
2 Examples of cells in a plant
Palisade cell
Root hair cell
2 Examples of cells in an animal
Nerve cell
Sperm cell
2 Examples of tissues in a plant
Xylem

2 Examples of tissues in an animal
Epithelial
Muscular
Tissue
a group of similar cells carrying out a function
Organ
Group of different tissues carrying out a function
2 Examples of organs in a plant
leaf
stem
2 Examples of organs in an animal
heart
brain
Organ system
Different organs carrying out a function
Organ system in a plant
Reproductive system
Water transport
Organ systems in an animal
Digestive system
Respiratory system
Organism
Different organ system carrying out a function
smooth epithelial tissue
linear inside+ outside of organs
Muscular tissues
contracts+ relaxes to allow movement
Glandular tissue
Secretes hormones, enzymes+ other substances from glands
What are the 2 types of digestion
Mechanical
Chemical
Mechanical digestion
Using teeth only
Chemical digestion
Using enzymes
Digestive system s function
Breaks down larger molecules to smaller molecules.
What 3 things enzymes do
Break substances down e.g digestion
Builds things up e.g amino acids
turn one substance directly to another
Mouth
Both mechanical and chemical digestion
Mechanical- teeth
Chemical- contains saliva, which contains amylase
Esophagus
The tube connecting to mouth to the stomach
Stomach
Contains muscle tissues- churns food
Has a high quantity of hydrochloric acid
Hydrochloric acid kills bacteria and gives the right PH for some enzymes
The stomach has a lining of mucus which prevents HCL from damaging the stomach lining
