500
State 3 parts of Cell Theory
1. All living things made of cells. 2. Cells come from preexisting cells. 3. All processes occur in cells.
500
2 differences between plant and animal cell
cell wall and chloroplast in plant cells (also - larger vacuole)
500
What causes a plant to die when it does not receive enough water? (What happens with the cell membrane?)
Water moves out of the cell through osmosis (high concentration to low concentration)
