A cell is the smallest unit that is
capable of performing life
functions.
16. Discovery Of The Cell
Robert Hooke
o confirmed Leeuwenhoek’s observation
o 1st to use the word “cell”
o reminded him of the rooms in a
monastery
17. Cell Theory
Cells are the basic units of life.
All living things are composed of cells and cell
products.
All cells come from other cells – new cells are
formed only by the division of pre-existing cells
The cell contains inherited information (genes),
which are used as instructions for growth,
functioning and development.
Cells are maintained as separate units by
membranes
20. Animal Cell
A cell membrane
covers the whole
cell.
The nucleus
controls the
activities of a cell.
The cytoplasm is
a jelly like
substance
surrounding the
nucleus.

cylinder, soil, black paper, fridge
Method:
Independent Variable:
Wet/dry hot/cold/warm light/dark CO2/no CO2

69. Success Criteria
List the requirements for photosynthesis
Water, carbon dioxide, light, chlorophyll
List the products of photosynthesis
Oxygen, glucose – stored as starch
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
More light, more carbon dioxide, more water,
more chlorophyll
70. SLO
Explain how plants move water from
their roots to their leaves
(transpiration, osmosis)
71.
72. Transpiration
Plants absorb water
through their roots via
osmosis
Water is sucked up the
stem via capillary action
Water evaporates out of
the stomata in the leaves
cooling the plant down
73. Stomata
Found in lower epidermis
Stoma – hole
Guard cells – outside
Guard cells are full of
water the stomata is
open, and water can
escape and gases can go
in and out of leaf
Guard cells are flaccid (no
water in them) water and
gases cannot move in
and out

ovaries and fuses with the ovule
This forms a seed

96. Seed Dispersal
Fertilization occurs when the pollen grain
and egg fuse to form a zygote (seed)
Seeds need to be dispersed away from the
parent plant to avoid competition for:
Water
Light
Nutrients
Space
