Project Ideas Exploration

• The cell is called the basic unit of life because it is the smallest structure that carry out all the
frui ons necessary for survival. Make a chart on mul cellular organisms.

Life Skills Inference

• Microorganisms cannot thrive in environments with very high solute concentra ons (salt or sugar).
Which inhibits their growth and prevents spoilage.
