Question
complete the table to describe the organisms shown in the micrographs above.
characteristic\tamoeba\thamster
made up of one cell\t□\t□
made up of many cells\t□\t□
essential processes happen in a cell\t□\t□
a cell is its basic unit of structure\t□\t□
To complete the table, we analyze the characteristics of Amoeba (a unicellular organism) and Hamster (a multicellular organism) based on cell theory and biological knowledge:
Step 1: Analyze "made up of one cell"
- Amoeba: Unicellular (composed of 1 cell) → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
- Hamster: Multicellular (composed of many cells) → Leave blank.
Step 2: Analyze "made up of many cells"
- Amoeba: Unicellular → Leave blank.
- Hamster: Multicellular (composed of many cells) → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
Step 3: Analyze "essential processes happen in a cell"
- Amoeba: All life processes (e.g., respiration, digestion) occur in its single cell → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
- Hamster: Essential processes (e.g., metabolism, growth) occur in its cells (each cell or groups of cells perform specific functions) → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
Step 4: Analyze "a cell is its basic unit of structure"
- Amoeba: The cell is its basic structural unit (it is a single cell) → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
- Hamster: Cells are the basic structural unit of all living organisms (including multicellular ones like hamsters) → Mark with $\boldsymbol{\checkmark}$.
Completed Table:
| Characteristic | Amoeba | Hamster |
|---|---|---|
| made up of many cells | $\checkmark$ | |
| essential processes happen in a cell | $\checkmark$ | $\checkmark$ |
| a cell is its basic unit of structure | $\checkmark$ | $\checkmark$ |
(Note: In the original table, fill the squares with $\checkmark$ as per the above analysis.)
