The Ten Smelliest Animals
All living organisms are composed of cells, from just one to many trillions, whose
details usually are visible only through a microscope.
A typical cell of any organism contains genetic instructions that specify its traits.
Those traits may be modified by environmental influences.
Chapter 5: The Cell in Action
The Big Idea: Cells carry out important life functions, such oas obtaining energy,
growing, and making new cells.
About the Photo: Text pages 146-147.

A typical cell of any organism contains genetic instructions that specify its traits.
Those traits may be modified by environmental influences.
Students know the characteristics that distinguish plant cells from animal cells,
including chloroplasts and cell walls.
Students know that mitochondria liberate energy for the work that cells do and that
chloroplasts capture sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
Section 2: The Cell Cycle
Key Concept: The cell cycle results in daughter cells, two new cells that are exact copies
of the original cell.
