Download CELL RESPIRATION: uses GLUCOSE to produce energy (ATP)

What to study - Cells Exam
CELL THEORY
 3 parts:
1. Cells are the basic unit of FUNCTION of all living things.
2. Cells are the basic unit of STRUCTURE of all living things.
3. All cells come from preexisting cells.
 Exceptions: viruses are not made up of cells (only a protein coat and DNA) BUT they act like living things
CELL ORGANELLES
 In both animal and plant cells
– cell membrane: controls what enters and leaves the cell (selectively permeable or semi-permeable)
– cytoplasm: gel-like substance, holds all cell organelles
– nucleus: controls all cell activities
– nucleolus: produces ribosomes
– ribosomes: produce proteins
– endoplasmic reticulum: transport materials throughout the cell
– vacuoles: store materials
– lysosomes: break down food, old cell parts, bacteria
– mitochondria: produce energy (respiration)
– golgi bodies: package materials
 Only in animal cells: centrioles  incolved in cell division
 Only in plant cells:
– cell wall  rigid, gives plant cell shape and support
– chloroplasts  produces food for the cell (photosynthesis)

TYPES OF ORGANISMS
 Prokaryotic cells: do not contain a nucleus (DNA is floating in the cytoplasm
– Contain ribosomes, cytoplasm, cell membrane
– Do not contain membrane-bound organelles
 Eukaryotic cells: contain a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles
 Unicellular organisms: one-celled organisms
 Multicellular organisms: made up of many specialized cells
– Specialized cells: have a specific function
CELL ORGANIZATION: cells  tissues  organs  organ tissues  organ systems  organism
CELL TRANSPORT
 Passive transport: substances move from a HIGH concentration to a LOW concentration, no energy required
– Diffusion: movement of substances from a a HIGH concentration to a LOW concentration
 Stops until equilibrium is reached (equal concentration on both sides)
– Osmosis: movement of water from a HIGH concentration to a LOW concentration
 Active transport: substances move from a LOW concentration to a HIGH concentration, energy is required
CELL RESPIRATION:
 Aerobic: C6 H12 O6 + O2  CO2 + H2O + 36ATP (occurs in mitochondria)
 Anaerobic: C6 H12 O6  CO2 + 2 ATP (occurs in cytoplasm)
1. yeast  alcoholic fermentation (
C6 H12 O6  alcohol + CO2 + 2 ATP
2. muscle cells  lactic acid fermentation
C6 H12 O6  lactic acid + 2 ATP
CLASSIFICATION
 7 levels of classification: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
– Kingdom: largest level, made up of diverse organisms
– Species: organisms are very closely related, able to mate and produce fertile offspring
 Binomial nomenclature: devised by Carolus Linnaeus
– Genus species
 6 kingdoms

– Archaebacteria: unicellular, prokaryotic, found in extreme environments (hot springs, thermal vents, etc)
– Eubacteria: unicellular, prokaryotic, found everywhere (good and bad bacteria)
– Protist: unicellular, eukaryotic
 Protozoa: heterotrophic protists (ameba and paramecia)
 Algae: autotrophic protists
- Fungi: multicellular, heterotrophic (absorb digested food from environment)
 Ex: mold, mushrooms, yeast (unicellular)
- Plant: multicellular, autotrophic
- Animal: multicellular, heterotrophic
Dichotomous keys: have two descriptive statements at each step
– Used to identify an organism
