Question

complete the table to describe the organisms shown in the micrographs above. characteristic onion plant diatom essential processes happen in a cell a cell is its basic unit of structure made up of one cell made up of many cells

Explanation:

• For "essential processes happen in a cell": All living organisms, whether single - celled (like diatoms) or multi - celled (like onion plants), carry out essential life processes (such as metabolism, growth, and reproduction) within their cells.
• For "a cell is its basic unit of structure": According to the cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of structure and function for all living organisms. Both onion plants (multi - celled) and diatoms (single - celled) follow this principle.
• For "made up of one cell": Diatoms are single - celled organisms. Onion plants are multi - celled.
• For "made up of many cells": Onion plants are multi - celled. Diatoms are single - celled.
