1. When looking at pond water through a microscope, you can see tiny
living
things and dirt in
the water.
2. Plant cells have two parts that animal cells do not have: chloroplast , that makes food and a cell
wall
that is the outer most layer of a plant cell.
3. If you used a strong microscope to look at the cells of a plant leaf, you would see that the cells are made of
even smaller parts called organelles .
4. Single celled organisms have structures that help them move.

, helps control the transport of material in
and out of a cell.
17. The two main groups of plants are:
vascular
and
non - vascular.
18.
Vascular
plants have true tubes
two main groups which are
roots
angiosperms
,
stems
and
(flowering plants) and
leaves
. They are divided into
gymnosperms
(produces naked-
seeds or cones).
Non – Vascular
