18
Q

Cell membrane

A

It is a very thin layer that surrounds the cells

19
Q

Function of cell membrane

A

Its function is to hold the cell content in its place and control what passes into an out of the cell

20
Q

Example of cell membrane function

A

Example is when we exercise our muscle cells allow glucose and oxygen to pass in from our blood cell to supply energy to the cells

21
Q

Nucleus and function

A

The nucleus is normally around, its function is to act as the control center of the cell

22
Q

Cytoplasm

A

Cytoplasm is a watery liquid found between the nucleus and the cell membrane

23
Q

Cytoplasm function

A

Its function are to carry out some Cell reactions and two support tiny cell structures

24
Q

Plant cells

A

Plant cells have five main parts
A cell wall
A cell membrane
Cytoplasm
Nucleus
Vacuole

25
What is cell wall
A cell wall is found outside the cell membrane in plant cells
26
Function of cell wall
Its function is to give strength to the plant cell. This is needed because plants do not have skeletons the cell wall makes plant cell stronger and less flexible than animal cell
27
Cell membrane of plant cell
Animal cell membrane and plant cell membrane are similar
28
Vacuole
Give strength to the cell
29
The parts of microscope
eye piece lens Focus knobs Objective lens Nose piece Stage Clips Mirror or light
30
the light microscope
A microscope is used to view objects that are too small to be seen by eyesight alone
31
Objective lens
Eat objective lens and have different magnification, the total magnification is found by multiplying the powers of the eyepiece and objective lenses being used Power of eye piece x power of objective lens = total magnification
32
Eye piece lens
It is the lens that is nearest to your eye, if it is marked times 10, it makes the object 10 times larger
33
Focus knob or course knob
The cars Focus knob is used to see the image clearly at low magnification.
34
Nose piece
It can rotate to move different objective lenses into position
35
Clips
clips are used to hold the microscope in place
36
Stage
It is it is used to support the microscopes slide. It has a hole in the center to allow light to pass through
37
Mirror or light
It is used to reflect light from a lamp up through the object some microscopes have a light instead of a mirror
38
The main steps in getting and using foods are
ingestion Digestion Absorption Assimilation Egestion
39
Ingestion
Taking in food
40
Digestion
Breaking down food
41
Absorption
Taking digested food from our intestine into our blood
42
Assimilation
Using the food in the cells of the body
43
Egestion
Discharge of undigested waste
44
Parts of digestive system
Mouth, oesophagus, liver, stomach, pancreas, large intestine, small intestine, rectum, anus
