• Specialized
• Neither stem or specialized cells

Compare the structure and function of nerve and white blood cells.

• Nerve cells are long and have branches that extend outward.
• Nerve cells have a nucleus that change shape allowing it to engulf and eat bacteria.
• Nerve cells have a nucleus and white blood cells do not.

Read the information below. Then, select ALL of the statements that are true.

• If the bacterium divides, it will become a multicellular organism.
• A bacterium is formed when a bacterium divides into two.
• When a rose bush cell divides, it copies its parts and then splits into two cells.

Read the information below.

• Moss plants are made up of cells.
• The organism in the MICROGRAPH is made of cells, but the organism in the photograph is NOT made of cells.
• Each moss cell is so small that you need a microscope to see the cells.
• According to the reading above, each moss cell is over 0.37 millimeters long.

All organisms are made up of cells. Some organisms are unicellular, or made up of just one cell. Other organisms are multicellular, or made up of many cells.These micrographs show cells from four different organisms. Look at the micrographs and read the captions. Then, answer the question below.

• The protist is unicellular, and the bean plant is multicellular.
• The bacterium has many cells, and the frog has only one cell.
• The bean plant is made up of cells, but the frog is NOT made up of cells.
• The cells of the protist and bacterium are the same shape.

The cell has many parts that work together to help the cell grow, reproduce, get food and get rid of wastes, to name a few things that cells do to stay alive. What is the name of the parts of a cell called?

• atoms
• molecules
• organelles
• tissue

Below is a micrograph of skin tissue. What is the name and function of the darkened areas in the middle of each skin cell?

• The cell membrane and the function is to control what enters and leaves the cell.
• The nucleus and the function is to release the energy stored in food.
• The nucleus and the function is to control the cell with directions from the DNA.
• The nucleus and the function is to capture sunlight to make food.
