1. What are the three main parts of a eukaryotic cell? Mention some of its functions.

2. What is a prokaryotic cell?

3. Name three differences between an animal cell and a plant cell.

4. What are stem cells? Why they are important?

5. Name three functions of the plasma membrane.

6. Explain the following forms of selective permeability:

a. Osmosis

b. Diffusion
