Cells
Question 1
For each difference between plant and animal cell write why a plant cell needs
this structure.

for storing water and nutrients

for structure and support.

to make their own food through photosynthesis.

Question 2
The diagrams show a cheek cell from a human and a leaf cell from a plant.

nucleus

cytoplasm

cell membrane

a. The two cells have a number of parts in common.


(i) On the cheek cell, label three of these parts which both cells have.
(ii) In the table, write the names of the three parts you have labelled above and
describe the main function of each part.

nucleus controls cell's activities

Holds and supports the cell’s organelles and is where many


cytoplasm chemical reactions occur.

cell membrane controls what enters and exits the cell.

Question 3
The diagram shows a cell from a plant leaf.
Name structures A, B and C.
A: _______________________
nucleus
cell membrane
B: _______________________
chloroplast
C: _______________________
Question 4

Some students investigated the effect of light intensity on the rate of


photosynthesis in pondweed.
The diagram shows the apparatus the students used.

The closer the lamp is to the pondweed, the more light the pondweed receives.
The students placed the lamp at different distances, d, from the pondweed.
They counted the number of bubbles of gas released from the pondweed in 1
minute for each distance.

a. A thermometer was placed in the glass beaker.


Why was it important to use a thermometer in this investigation?
___________________________________________________________________
It was important to use a thermometer to ensure that the
temperature remains constant during the experiment.
___________________________________________________________________
Temperature can affect the rate of photosynthesis, so keeping it
___________________________________________________________________
stable ensures that any changes in bubble count are due to light
intensity, not temperature.
b. The students counted the bubbles four times at each distance and
calculated the correct mean value of their results.
The table shows the students’ results.

(i) Calculate the mean number of bubbles released per minute when the lamp was
40 cm from the pondweed.

Mean number of bubbles at 40 cm =


(30+10+9+11)/4=15
________________________________________________
(ii) On the graph paper below, draw a graph to show the students ‘results:
• add a label to the vertical axis
• plot the mean values of the number of bubbles
• draw a line of best fit.

(iii) One student concluded that the rate of photosynthesis was inversely
proportional to the distance of the lamp from the plant.
Does the data support this conclusion?
Explain your answer.
Yes, the data supports this. As the lamp gets further, the light
___________________________________________________________________
intensity decreases and less bubbles are produced, indicating
___________________________________________________________________ a
slower rate of photosynthesis. This shows an inverse relationship
___________________________________________________________________
between distance and photosynthesis rate.
Question 4
The picture below shows a root hair cell.

a. What is the function of a root hair cell.


The function of a root hair cell is to
________________________________________
absorb water and nutrients from the
soil efficiently.

b. Complete the table.

to absorb more water and nutrients from the soil efficiently.

because they are located underground and


do not perform photosynthesis.
to provide the energy needed for active
transport of water and nutrients from the soil.
Question 5

What do you think about the ideas of the pupils in the cartoon below?

In a drier environment, plants typically develop more root hair


______________________________________________________________________________
cells. This adaptation helps them absorb more water and
______________________________________________________________________________
nutrients from the soil to survive in conditions with less moisture.
