The part of the plant that helps it to hold itself upright.
The stem
Are fungi unicellular or multicellular or both?
Some are unicellular and some are multicellular.
What are the two waste products from the photosynthesis?

Name how Protista organisms can be harmful (1 thing) and helpful (1 thing) for humans.
Harmful: They can cause diseases (protozoa); they can contaminate water (algae)
Helpful: They can be used as food (algae); they release oxygen (algae); some help to clean raw sewage from bacteria (protozoa)
How does a cell reproduce?
By dividing itself (cell division)

In the nucleus.
What is the name of the substance found in the green part of the plant that is necessary for the photosynthesis?

In which kingdom do we find all of the prokaryotic organisms?
Monera
What is the job of the chlorophyll in the photosynthesis?
It absorbs the energy of the sunlight, and transforms carbon dioxide and the xylem sap into carbohydrates.
