Cells and Organisation Higher Practice Exam Questions

1. Dinoflagellates are single-celled organisms that live in water and have characteristics of both plants and animals. They contain chloroplasts, mitochondria, and a flagellum. 2. Ciliated epithelial cells line parts of the respiratory system and fallopian tubes. They contain many mitochondria to power their cilia. 3. The skeleton has multiple functions, including protecting organs and allowing movement. Joints like the knee and shoulder differ in their range of motion.
