Page 99
1. a. When we are in a situation that is dangerous, our body reacts with a ‘fight-or-
flight’ response.
b. During a fight-or-flight response, our heart rate increases, so our heart pumps
more blood to our muscles and brain. Our breathing becomes quicker to supply
more oxygen to our body. The pupils in our eyes dilate, so we can see better, and
our digestive system slows down to save energy.

2. a. The membrane. The covering around the cell. It protects the inside of the cell.
b. The cytoplasm. The liquid between the nucleus and the membrane. It contains
lots of organelles.
c. The organelles. They carry out the different functions of the cell.

3. Ss do a drawing and label the cell wall, membrane, organelles, cytoplasm,

Differences between plant and animal cells:
M.A. Unlike animal cells, plant cells have a rigid cell wall around the membrane.
Also, Plant cells have specialised organelles called chloroplasts that contain a
green substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which plants
need to make their own food. It gives plant cells their green colour.
