14.

Students examined the smaller structures of living things and non-living things. Which of the following observations provides evidence that the smaller parts of living things, and not the non-living things, are cells? Smaller parts of living things–

a)

are tightly packed together with almost no space between them

b)

carry out functions that sustain life such as respiration.

c)

are uniform in size and structure.

The structure of the cell membrane contributes to the overall function of the cell in what way?

a)

It provides a rigid support that provides structure for the entire organism.

b)

It contains small openings that can store water the cell needs to survive

c)

It carries signals from one cell to the next, allowing cells to work together.
