Questions and Answers

What are the 8 characteristics of living things mentioned in the text?

  1. Requires energy 2. Movement 3. Growth 4. Respiration (Oxygen) 5. Sensitivity (Respond to the surroundings) 6. Reproduction 7. Excretion 8. Controlling internal conditions

What is the function of the cell membrane?

The cell membrane is a selectively permeable barrier that surrounds the cell, controlling what's allowed in and out. It ensures that only specific substances, like nutrients and oxygen, are permitted to enter, while waste materials and harmful substances are kept out.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

The cell membrane acts as a selectively permeable barrier that controls what substances are allowed in and out of the cell, maintaining the cell's internal environment and safeguarding its integrity.

Study Notes

Characteristics of Living Things

  • There are 8 characteristics of living things, which are essential for an organism to be considered alive

Cell Structure

Cell Membrane

  • The cell membrane is a thin layer of lipid and protein molecules that surrounds the cell
  • It regulates what enters and leaves the cell
  • It maintains the cell's internal environment by controlling the movement of substances in and out of the cell
  • It is semi-permeable, allowing certain substances to pass through while keeping others out

Cytoplasm

  • Cytoplasm is a thick, jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane
  • It is composed of water, salts, sugars, and various organelles
  • It provides a medium for chemical reactions to occur and supports the cell's metabolic processes

Note: Since some of the questions were repeat, the answers were combined and removed duplicates.
