Question

part c: quick connection questions

1. what structure and organelle do plant cells have that animal cells do not? what would happen if they didnt?
2. which level of organization comes directly before organ?
3. give one example of how the digestive and circulatory systems depend on each other.
4. do you feel ready for the test? is there anything you need help with?

Explanation:

1. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts and a large central vacuole which animal cells lack. Without these structures, plants couldn't carry out photosynthesis effectively or maintain their rigid shape.
2. Tissues come directly before organs in the level of organization as a group of similar - cells form tissues and tissues combine to form organs.
3. The digestive system breaks down food into nutrients, and the circulatory system transports these nutrients to cells. For example, after digestion in the small intestine, glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to cells for energy.
4. This is a self - assessment question. One should review their study materials, practice questions and understanding of the concepts to determine readiness.

Answer:

1. Plant cells have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole that animal cells do not. Without them, plants couldn't photosynthesize or maintain shape well.
2. Tissues are the level of organization that comes directly before organs.
3. Example: The digestive system breaks down food, and the circulatory system transports nutrients from digested food to cells. For instance, glucose from the small intestine is carried by blood.
4. Self - assessment: Review study materials, practice questions, and understanding of concepts to determine readiness.
