Basic Unit of Life It is Cell Basics Type Type Prokaryotic Eukaryotic (before the nucleus) Characteristics Has a nucleoid (not a nucleus) Very small & simple v Single-celled Examples Examples (true nucleus) Characteristics Plant Cell Bacteria Resemble earliest cells found on Earth Very Complex Animal Cell Has organelles (little organs) Large Can be single- or multi-celled How we learned about cells Cell Theory All living things are made of cells Cells are the basic unit of life Scientist Living cells only come from other living cells.

Organelles and their function Organelle – A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function. Found in both animal & plant cell Cell Membrane – The outer portion of a cell. It surrounds the cell and helps keep the contents inside. The membrane also controls what enters or leaves a cell. Cytoplasm – All the material between a cell membrane and the nucleus; it includes the various organelles which help a cell to function. It helps the cell keep its shape. Cytoskeleton – Provides shape and support to the cell. Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) – A series of interconnected membrane tubes and channels in the cytoplasm; moves material through the cell. There are two types – Rough ER and Smooth ER: ¬ Rough ER – Transports ribosomes around the cell. ¬ Smooth ER – Stores key products needed by cell (ex. Muscles cells – store calcium required for muscle contractions). Makes products (fats, phospholipids, and steroids) needed by the cell. Golgi (Body/Apparatus/Complex) – Stores, packages, and distributes proteins and fats made by the ER. Also manufactures the lysosome. Lysosome – Stores enzymes produced by cell. Digests food in the cell; packages and removes waste from the cell; destroys organelles as they lose their function as well as the cell when it dies (sometimes called the suicide organelle). Mitochondria – Power plant of the cell. Nucleolus – Located in the nucleus; manufactures ribosomes. Nucleus – The control center of a cell. It contains genetic information that regulates how a cell functions. Ribosomes – Makes the proteins needed by the cell. Vacuole – Stores food and waste products; removes waste from the cell; provides support for the cell. Found in just the plant cell Cell Wall – The outermost part of a plant cell. It is found outside of the cell's membrane. It is quite rigid and helps maintain the shape of the plant. Central Vacuole - Contains water, and a place to store wastes that may be harmful to the cell; provides structure and support for the plant cell. Chloroplast – A green structure found inside a plant cell. This structure changes sunlight into a usable form of energy for the plant. Works in conjunction with the mitochondria to produce energy. General Vocabulary Terms Diffusion – The process of matter spreading out evenly from its source. An example of diffusion is when perfume is sprayed and eventually is smelled throughout a room. Organ – The part of an organism that is made up of tissues to perform a specific job. Examples of organs include: skin, heart, lungs, stems, leaves, and roots. Organism – Any living thing. Some may exist as a single cell (unicellular) but most are made of many cells (multicellular) such as plants and animals. Osmosis – A special form of diffusion that occurs in liquids. One liquid spreads evenly within another liquid. Photosynthesis - The plant takes water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and energy from the sun and makes food for the plant; exhales oxygen. System – A group of organs that works together performing a common function. Examples of systems include the skeleton, nervous and vascular (tubes in plants). Tissue – A group of cells that function together to meet a common purpose. Examples include muscle, bone, and cuticle (the outer covering of a plant).
