    Study Notes

    Biology

    • The study of living organisms and life
    • Includes structure, function, growth, evolution and interactions with their environment.
    • Subfields include genetics, ecology, microbiology, and zoology.
    • Helps us understand life processes and how organisms interact with each other.

    Cells

    • Basic building blocks of all living things.
    • Smallest unit of life, like tiny factories.
    • Carry out functions necessary for an organism's survival.
    • Unicellular organisms have one cell.
    • Multicellular organisms have trillions of cells working together.

    Organisms

    • Any living thing, such as a plant, animal, or fungus.
    • Can be unicellular or multicellular.
    • Bacteria are single-celled organisms.
    • Humans are multicellular organisms.

    Notes on Organisms

    • Organisms grow, reproduce, respond to their environment, and carry out functions for survival.

    Key Points

    • Living things are called "Organisms."
    • Cells are the smallest unit capable of life functions.
    • Unicellular organisms are made up of one cell.
    • Multicellular organisms are made up of many cells.
    • Cells in multicellular organisms are specialized for specific functions.
    • All cells come from other cells through cell division.

    Cell Growth and Division

    • Cell division creates new cells for replacement and growth.
    • Single cells are usually too small to be seen without a microscope.
