generalised animal cell.
2 State the function of any THREE of the structures you labelled in question 1.
3 Give FOUR differences between the structure of an animal cell and that of a plant cell.
4 What features would enable a scientist to distinguish a bacterial cell from other cells
when viewed under a microscope?
5 Why does cell specialisation occur in large multicellular organisms but not in small
unicellular organisms?
6 What is a tissue?
7 Name TWO different tissues found in animals and TWO different tissues found in
plants and give the functions of EACH.
8 Define the term ‘diffusion’.
9 Cite FOUR reasons to support the fact that diffusion is important to living organisms.
10 What is osmosis?
11 Explain what happens to a plant cell if it is placed in a solution that is more dilute
than its cytoplasm and cell sap.
12 Give FOUR reasons why osmosis is important in the lives of living organisms.
13 Why is the root of a plant unable to absorb mineral salts from the soil if it is given a
poison that prevents respiration?
Respiration and gaseous exchange Revision questions

1 What is respiration?

produce glucose.
7 Suggest THREE ways that plants can utilise the glucose produced in photosynthesis.
8 Why are plants growing in a soil deficient in nitrogen usually small with
yellow leaves?
9 It is essential that humans consume a balanced diet daily. What is a balanced diet and
why is it needed?
