Question 6
No Criteria Marks
(a) Able to draw and label the cell structures that can be observed from
the electron microscope.

Sample answer:
Label Max 4
√1-1m

Draw 1
Neat 1
correct

(b) Able to describe cell structures and their functions.

Sample answer:

Cell Description from its structure and

structure function
Cell Wall S1 Outer boundary // fully permeable. S1
: Support and protect plant cell// allows F1
F1: the substance flow in and out freely.
Plasma S2 Semi-permeable and acts as a
membrane/ : selective barrier
membrane separates the contents of the cell
cell F2: from its external environment// allows
the certain substances move in and
out from the cell.
Cytoplasm S3 Medium for biochemical reactions.
: Provides organelles with the
F4: substances obtained from the
external environment.
Nucleus S4 Contains genetic information
: To regulate and control all the cell
CHAPTER 2 CELL STRUCTURE & CELL ORGANISATION FORM 4 BIOLOGY 2018

F4: activities.
Vacuole S5 Contain cell sap
: To store sugar, amino acid and waste
F5: products// to give support, shape and Max

turgidity to the cell.

(c) Able to list the differences and similarities between an epidermal

cell from hydrilla leaf and a human cheek cell.

Sample answer:

Similarities:
S1:Both cells have membrane cell// rough ER// smooth ER 1
S2:Both cells have Nucleus// golgi apparatus 1 Max 2
S3:Both cells have Cytoplasm// mitochondrion 1

Differences:
D1:Epidermal cell of Hydrilla leaf have large vacuole but human 1
cheek cells does not have.
D2:Epidermal cell of Hydrilla leaf have cell wall/ chloroplast but 1 Max 3
human cheek cells does not have.
D3:Human cheek cells have centriole but epidermal cell of Hydrilla 1 5
leaf does not have.
