3. The ecological footprint of all humanity has been calculated to be equal to 1.3 Earths. What does this mean?
- If we continue to use resources like we do, we will need 1.3 Earths to support humanity.
- We do not have 1.3 Earths. We have 1.

6. List seven (7) various organelles that make up a cell. Briefly discuss each organelle’s function.
Nucleus – contains DNA & controls cell’s activities.
Mitochondria – gives cell energy
Cell membrane – lets things in & out of the cell.
Ribosome – makes proteins
Cytoplasm – lets things move around in cell
Endoplasmic reticulum – transports Materials (e.g. Proteins) around cell
Lysosome – breaks down molecules

7. Complete the Venn diagram below to show the contrast between an animal & a plant cell.
Similarities - both are enclosed by a membrane, both function to build tissues/systems to support the organism.
Differences - Plant cell has cell wall & chloroplast (which animal cells do not have). - Animal cell has centrioles used in cell division (which plant cells do not have)

1) All living things are composed of cells
2) Cells come from pre-existing cells
3) Cells are the basic functional unit of life.

9. a) What is the cell cycle?= A series of events that take place in a cell leading up to its division.
9. b) Draw the cell cycle & briefly explain the part of each cycle.

10. What is the process of cell division called? Briefly outline the steps of this process.
Mitosis
Interphase – cell prepares to divide (increases in size & copies/duplicates its DNA)
Prophase – DNA condenses into a highly organized structure called chromosomes
Metaphase – chromosomes line up along the equator
Anaphase – spindle fibers help to pull apart the chromosomes to opposite sides of the cell.
Telophase – nucleus reforms in ‘daughter’ cells, two daughter cells produced.
