Cells |
are the basic building blocks of all organisms. Plants and animals are made up of one or more cells. Bacteria have one cell and animals/humans have more complex cells. |
|
|
Cell: prokaryotic |
No internal membrane to contain cell structure. Example: bacteria |
|
|
Cell: Eukaryotic |
Internal membrane contain internals structure. Example: fungi, plants, animals and protists. |
|
|
Cells: Cells are made up of several different parts: |
1)outer membrane (sometimes called the plasma membrane or cell membrane), 2)organelles, and a large amount of mass called 3)cytoplasm. |
|
|
Cell membrane |
is the dictator of the cell. It determines what goes into or out of the cell. |
|
|
Cytoplasm |
Is a gel like substance, composed mostly water, that's inside the cell membrane and outside the nucleus. It contain many chemicals that carry out the life process. |
|
|
organelles |
are specialized parts that move around the cell and perform functions that are necessary for life. Examples: are the cell nucleus, vacuoles, and mitochondria. |
|
|
Nucleus |
is a membrane that contains the cell’s hereditary information and controls the cell’s growth and reproduction. It also, contains chromosomes that are made up of DNA. |
|
|
Vacuoles |
are the storage containers of the cell. They may store waste until it is eliminated or food until it is needed. |
|
|
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid |
determines how one looks and how one functions. It is the instruction manual or blueprint for life. |
|
|
mitochondria |
Energy is produced through a process called respiration. Respiration is a series of chemical reactions that combine food and oxygen to create energy and a waste by-product, carbon dioxide. |
|
|
DNA contains: |
molecule has a sugar component, a phosphate component, and four different bases— adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). Adenine is always paired with thymine, and cytosine with guanine . These pairs are held together to form the rungs of the ladder. |
