4.20 Translate the text into Russian, paying attention to the Participles: Cells, Tissues, Organs, and Systems
With few exceptions, protoplasm is organized into microscopically visible units called cells. Cells are the smallest living units (except for the viruses). They are variously shaped, have a considerable range of size, and associated in different ways. They all have structural features in common.
In some instances single cells constitute entire organisms, every cell carrying on all the life processes. Small numbers of cells may be associated in colonies. In these colonial groups all cells appear similar and have the same function. In other aggregation of cells there is often division of labour, particular cells being more соncerned with some life functions than with others. This division of labour becomes increasingly important in the higher forms of life which have great structural complexity.
In these higher plants and animals the cells are organized into tissues or groups of cells with similar structure and functions. Combinations of tissues make up organs with more or less distinct functions. In the animals, which are functionally more complicated than plants, the organs are associated in systems or groups of organs that are collectively responsible for certain functions.

b) 1. After more favourable conditions had been created, the plants grew to a greater size. 2. Nowadays people know a great number of plant species and the best know among them are the most useful to man. 3. As the day was warm we decided to plant some fruit trees.
