VITAL FUNCTIONS
5. Explain the difference between autotrophs and heterotrophs and say all the
groups of living things with each kind of nutrition. (Remember the definitions in
your vocabulary organizer).
Autotrophs and heterotrophs are two types of nutrition.
An autotroph is an organism that makes its own organic matter from inorganic
matter using energy (usually solar energy). Plants, algae and some bacteria are
autotrophs.
A heterotroph is an organism that needs to take organic matter already
elaborated from other living things or their remains to obtain energy for living.
Animals, fungi, protozoa and many bacteria are heterotrophs.
6. Explain with your words the differences between sexual and asexual
reproduction (remember the table we did to compare them in class).
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION needs 2 progenitors (male and female), while
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION needs only one.
Moreover, the descendants of sexual reproduction have characteristics of both
progenitors. However, the descendants of asexual reproduction are identical to
the progenitor (because there is only one).
Many animals and plants with flowers have sexual reproduction, whereas
bacteria, starfish and some other plants have asexual reproduction.

7. Define interaction function.
9. a) What kind of tissue is made of muscular cells? And what is its function?
Muscular tissue. It’s function is contraction.
b) What is the function of nerve tissue? Find out the name of the cells that compose
this tissue.
Nerve tissue percieve stimuli and produces a response. The cells that form a nerve
tissue are called neurones.
CELLS
10. Write the name of each type of cell (A and B) and label their organelles.
11. A
B) What type of endoplasmic reticulum appears in the drawings? Why do you know it?
Rough endoplasmic reticulum, because it has “points” on the surface, which are ribosomes.
13. Compare the similarities and differences between eukaryotic animal and plant cells, using
connectors (whereas, while, however…).
Similarities:
Both animal and plant cells have NUCLEUS (because both are eukaryotic cells).
Both have cell membrane, cytoplasm and DNA.
Both have mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus.
Differences:
Animal cells have centriols, while plant cells haven’t.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, whereas animal cells haven’t.
Plant cells have cell wall, while animal cells haven’t.
Animal cells have lysosomes. However, plant cells have 1 big vacuole.
16. Copy and complete the c-map from page 131(text book) in your notebook.
