Question What does increasing the magnification do to how an object looks? Tap to flip Answer It makes the object look bigger. Question What is a tissue? Tap to flip Answer A group of similar cells with the same job, working together. Question To observe a specimen with a light microscope, what is put on the glass slide? Tap to flip Answer A thin layer of the specimen. Question What is a stain, when preparing a microscope slide? Tap to flip Answer A coloured liquid put onto a specimen so that cells and their structures are easier to see. Question How can observations from a light microscope be recorded? Tap to flip Answer As a labelled scientific line drawing. Question What does the cell membrane do? Tap to flip Answer It surrounds the cell and controls which substances enter and leave it. Question What is the cytoplasm? Tap to flip Answer The jelly-like substance inside a cell, where the cell's chemical reactions take place. Question What does the nucleus contain? Tap to flip Answer DNA, which stores information that controls the cell's activities. Question What do mitochondria use as fuel to provide energy for the cell? Tap to flip Answer Food and oxygen. Question What is the process called in which mitochondria provide energy for the cell? Tap to flip Answer Cellular respiration. Question Are cells 2D or 3D in shape? Tap to flip Answer 3D (they often look 2D in textbook diagrams). Question What is a scientific model? Tap to flip Answer A simpler representation of complex things and ideas. Question What is a plant cell wall made of? Tap to flip Answer Fibres that strengthen the cell but let substances pass through. Question What do chloroplasts do? Tap to flip Answer They trap light so that the plant can make its own food. Question In which parts of a plant are chloroplasts found? Tap to flip Answer In cells in the green parts of the plant. Question What does the vacuole of a plant cell contain? Tap to flip Answer Watery sap, which keeps the cell firm when the vacuole is full. Question Do all plant cells have the same shape and structures? Tap to flip Answer No. Plant cells can be adapted with different shapes and structures. Question What is a unicellular organism? Tap to flip Answer A living thing that is just one cell. Question In a multicellular organism, do all the cells do the same job? Tap to flip Answer No. Different cells take on different jobs.

Tap to flip Answer An organ system. Question What is an adaptation? Tap to flip Answer A feature that helps an organism to function and survive. Question Are plant and animal cells the only types of cell? Tap to flip Answer No. Unicellular organisms have their own cells, with adaptations that help them function and stay alive. Question What is a specialised cell? Tap to flip Answer A cell with adaptations that allow it to carry out a specific function. Question What is the function of a cell? Tap to flip Answer Its job or role within an organism. Question Do all cells have all the features shown in the standard animal and plant cell models? Tap to flip Answer No. Some cells lack some of these features, and some have extra ones.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong.
