Question
an amoeba hamster skin cells complete the table to describe the organisms shown in the micrographs above. made up of one cell made up of many cells essential processes happen in a cell a cell is its basic unit of structure
Brief Explanations
- An amoeba is a single - celled organism. So, for the characteristic “made up of one cell”, it applies to amoeba. For “made up of many cells”, it applies to hamster (since hamster is a multicellular organism).
- Both amoeba (as a single - celled organism, all its essential processes occur within that one cell) and hamster (each of its cells has essential processes like metabolism, etc.) have essential processes happen in a cell.
- For both amoeba and hamster, the cell is the basic unit of structure (as per cell theory which states that all living organisms are composed of cells and the cell is the basic unit of structure and function in living organisms).
