  • All living things are made up of tiny units called
    cells
    • The cells are so small that they can't be seen with naked eyes.
    • An instrument used to see them is the
    microscope
  • A living thing that is made up of only one cell is called a
    unicellular organism
  • Living things which have more than one cell are called multicellular organisms.

    yellow / brown
  • why was the iodine solution added to the onion peel?
    The onion peel is colorless.
  • what solution is used other than iodine ?
    methylene blue solution

  • What is the function of cytoplasm
    Many chemical reactions occur here.
  • What is the function of the nucleus ?
    1. Controls cell activities
    2. heredity
  • Function of the Central Vacuole
    Stores water food salts wastes
