2.

Name three organelles found in a typical animal cell and their functions.

a)

Nucleus, Mitochondria, Golgi apparatus

b)

Lysosome - stores waste material, Endoplasmic reticulum - produces lipids, Peroxisome - breaks down fatty acids

3.

Define the term 'tissue' in the context of biology.

a)

A group of similar cells which come together to perform a specific function.

b)

A type of molecule found in cells.

c)

A group of organs working together.

d)

A single cell that performs a specific function.

4.

Explain the difference between a tissue and an organ.

a)

A tissue is a type of fabric, while an organ is a part of the body

b)

A tissue is a type of paper product, while an organ is a musical instrument

c)

The main difference between a tissue and an organ is that a tissue is made up of a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function, whereas an organ is made up of a group of tissues that work together to perform a specific function.

d)

A tissue is a type of food, while an organ is a type of plant

5.

How are organ systems different from individual organs?

a)

Organ systems are smaller in size compared to individual organs.

b)

Organ systems perform only one function, unlike individual organs.

c)

Individual organs are always found in pairs, while organ systems are not.

d)

Organ systems involve multiple organs working together, whereas individual organs are single structures with specific functions.

Stomach

d)

Heart

11.

How do organs work together within an organ system?

a)

By working independently without any coordination

b)

By communicating through telepathy

c)

By performing specialized functions and coordinating activities through various mechanisms such as chemical signals, nerve impulses, and physical connections.

d)

By randomly selecting tasks to perform

13.

Explain the concept of cell specialization.

a)

Cell specialization is the process of cells losing their functions.

b)

Cell specialization is the process of cells multiplying uncontrollably.

c)

Cell specialization is the process by which cells develop specific structures and functions to perform particular tasks within an organism.

d)

Cell specialization is the process of cells becoming identical to each other.

14.

Describe the structure and function of the nucleus in a cell.
