Definition:
• An example of this
type of organism is
the ameoba.
• Others: euglena,
paramecium
Unicellular and Multi-cellular
Organisms
• An organism which consists of a large
number of cells is called multicellular
organism.

Parts of Animal’s Cell
Part What is the Function??
cell membrane • partially permeable, allow small
• thin layer around the molecules like dissolved sugar
cell, allowing shape of and mineral salts to enter or leave
cell to change the cell.
Cytoplasm • contains water and many other
• jelly-like substance substances involves chemical
that fills the cell reactions.
• Many cell reactions takes place.
nucleus •controls cell activities
•contains chromosomes
cell membrane
What are
Chromosomes???
1.The nucleus in each cell contains many
threads called chromosomes.
2. They carry information which controls:
• how the cell works and
• what the organism will look like
Chromosomes, Genes and Heredity
chromosomes genes on a
chromosome
5. Each chromosome is made up of many
genes;
6. Each gene contains instructions for a
different feature of an organism.
7. In humans, height, skin colour, eye colour,
the length of your nose is all controlled by
genes.
8. A human being has 100 000 – 200 000 genes.
9. During reproduction, a full set of genes is
passed on from one generation to the next.
10. That is why children look like their parents.
11. The features of the parents are passed on
to their children through genes.
This is called Heridity

Types of cells Function
• found on
surfaces of
different parts of
a plant
vascular • protects plants
tissue against injury
• found in all and drying up
parts of a
plant
• carries food supporting
and water to tissue
various parts • found mainly in the
of the water stems of plants
• supports and
strengthens the plant
From Tissues to Organs
• Different tissues working together to do
a particular job make up an organ.
• Animal organs
From Tissues to Organs
•consists of nerve tissue &
connective tissue
•controls the various parts of the
body.
Brain
•consists of muscle tissue, blood
tissue & connective tissue
•pumps blood around the body
heart

flower roots
From Organs to System
• Different organs working together to do a particular job make up a
system. Each system has one main function.
• Animal systems
• Different systems make up the whole organism.
• Systems include:
• respiratory system
• circulatory system
• nervous system
• digestive system
• excretory system
• skeletal system
• reproductive system

Division of Labour
• Unicellular cell
• one cell carry out all the jobs of the organism
• Multicellular cell
• different cells have special features to carry out
particular jobs
• examples include respiratory, digestive and
reproduction systems
• Different organs and systems also perform
different jobs. However, they work with one
another to ensure that the whole organism
functions effectively.
