🔬 Part 1: Cell Structure and Function

1. What are the three main parts of a cell?

cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus

head, body, tail

skin, bones, muscles

roots, stem, leaves

2. Which part of the cell is called the "control center"?

cell membrane

protects and controls what enters and exits the cell

helps the cell move around

makes new cells

4. Fill in the blanks:

amoeba

bacteria

humans

plants

6. What is the main difference between single-celled and multi-celled organisms?

7. How might having many cells help an organism survive better than having just one cell?

🎨 Part 3: Cell Observation

8. Draw and label a basic cell you observed under the microscope. Include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus.

9. Describe one difference you noticed between the single-celled organism and the plant cells you observed:
